Loadout

Loadout Disclaimer[show]

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 is primarily themed around Fiends and Fire, so shadow and fire resistance and piercing damage are valuable here.
