Out of all the primary buffs the latest balancing patch brought, the addition of a drum mag to the Liberator Concussive was one of the most exciting. Previously, the Liberator Concussive just didn’t have the ammo to justify the low damage it output, causing the Pummeler and its stun effect to outclass the AR. Now, with much more ammo, the Liberator Concussive is excellent at horde control - which inspired me to lean into its strengths in this build by focusing on stratagems emphasizing area denial.
Chief to this area denial build is the EMS Mortar Sentry, which outputs a constant stream of slows to lock down Terminid patrols and breaches in the same spot. To capitalize on the immobilized bugs, I brought the Incendiary Mines and Eagle Napalm Strike - both of which can be thrown into the middle of a group of bugs to cause long-lasting fire damage. When used in conjunction with the Liberator Concussive, EMS Mortar, and Stun Grenades, this build becomes extra lethal since the stuns ensure that the bugs stay longer in the fire effects, taking more damage over time.
To round out this build with some anti-tank capabilities, I brought the newly buffed Spear, which can now reliably one-shot just about any tank enemy the Terminids can spawn. Choosing the Spear and its relatively easy lock-on and far engagement distance further encourages and solidifies this build’s style of play, which is to stay towards the back of your team to handle large crowds from afar. Lastly, to deal with the occasional medium armored enemies that somehow get close or if I need to close a bug hole fast, I bring the handy Grenade Pistol, which provides excellent utility to this build.
I am especially happy about this build because it showcases just how impactful the changes brought by the recent balance patch are - by improving the Liberator Concussive, the game now supports an entirely new style of play that encourages area denial as opposed to raw firepower. If you like learning new builds and would want to try a lockdown-style of skill expression, this is the build for you!
