The Great Escape/Loadout

Mission: The Great Escape. 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 Constructs and Shock, so elemental and shock resistance and elemental damage are important.
The second combat floor is primarily themed around Constructs, Gremlins and Freeze, so elemental and shock resistance and elemental and shadow damage are important.
The third combat floor is primarily themed around Undead and Poison, so shadow and poison resistance and elemental damage are important.
