The Ultimate Illuminate Build for Super Helldive. Works on most mission types, excels on Blitz missions.

Super Helldive Illuminate Build

Primary: R-36 Eruptor

  • Fantastic weapon vs Illuminate. Reliably kills Overseers in 1-2 shots.
  • Extremely efficient vs Fleshmobs.
  • Can destroy Grounded Warp Ships (after breaking the shield) and Lightning Spires.

Secondary: LAS-58 Talon

  • 1-shots Voteless (head/leg)
  • Effective against Overseers and Watchers.
  • Can kill Stingrays in a pinch.
  • Infinite Ammo (Heatsinks)

Throwable: G-4 Gas

  • Blinds and confuses Overseers, Voteless, and Fleshmobs.
  • Can clear through a crowd of Voteless with a single grenade.
  • Still has enough Demolition Force (30) for Grounded Warp Ships.

Armor Passive: Siege Ready

  • Increases reload speed of Primary weapons.
  • Provides increased ammo capacity of both your Primary and Support weapons, though it won’t affect backpack weapons.

Support Weapon: Stalwart

  • Extremely fun to use and absolutely shreds through Voteless, Overseers and Fleshmobs.
  • The limitations of its light armor pen are solved by your loadout (Eruptor, Talon, Orbital Laser)
