Your Favourite Banshee loadout.

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Your Favourite Banshee loadout.

Im thinking of using a Banshee group on a particular server and would like your opinions on the optimal loadout for PvP's.

I believe max weapon class is 7 and best is 5.

My initial idea was to use 2 or 3 guns to drop the shields, then Lancer missiles to finish.

I will begin testing in the next 24 hours and any help including other tactics will be gratefully recieved.

Thanks for the reply, it now looks like im going to use a Drake now. I know a few people on here use them with success so can you tell me your ideas please.

basically same type of load out but down a class
personally i find the drake soul destroying due to the extra time for a kill in 200k missions

Yeah, just tried it, its a bit underpowered, ill go and try a banshee now.

Thanks for the replies, I dont think anyone else likes me.

banshee;
- pyros type 3
- pyros type 3
- neutralyzer missile
- lancer missile

you can also switch 1 off the class 6 pyros into a shield buster for better shield damage, but it will affect the total hull damage a lot.

drake;
- catapult missile
- sweeper missile (i know, class 4)
- pyros type 3
- pyros type 3

same as above, you may switch a class 6 pyros into a shield buster.

Banshees are way too unmaneouverable. You're better off with either a Drake or a VHF.
