Mission: Terminal Meltdown. It is one of many guides made by players. As such, contents of this page are opinionated.
Loadout
Loadout Disclaimer
As always, use whatever gear you are most comfortable with, as long as it does not interfere with the strategies and success of the squad. Some gear can be significantly more expensive than others, so you should always factor in economics when considering loadout options for missions. Will the gear help with only a few specific areas, or many? Will it pay for itself quickly, if at all? There is usually more than one way to solve problems - these are what work for many players.
This mission's first combat floor is primarily themed around Slimes and Fire, so piercing and fire resistance and shadow damage are important.
The second combat floor is primarily themed around Gremlins, Beasts and Fire, so elemental and fire resistance as well as shadow and piercing damage are important.
The third combat floor is primarily themed around Slimes and Fire, so piercing and fire resistance and shadow damage are important.
In general fire resistance is more important than anything else.
