What is your strategy for medium or hard difficulties?

ultimate26:
What class do you use and whats your perk progression for starters? why do you choose that style and what do you think is a strong build?

I love using engineer for FIN-JUG-SOB-SOB as a starter because you can use any weapon and be effective regardless of what you find.

I start with 2 shotguns to juggle between them while corner shooting till i find a chaingun to turn into an assault rifle once i have assault rifle, i try to get 2 TH to do maximum damage.

Im curious whats everyone bread and butter

Cheers

Cateye'd scout. Early Int2 for easy shotgunning through first episode, cateye by the wall, WK2 and almost guaranreed hyperblaster in armory. The rest of the game is cakewalk.

tylor:
First I make sure that I have enough fire rate with shotguns to hold off Barons in the Wall. That is, at least Finess*2 + Reloader (or some mod packs and shell box)
Then it depends on build, but I don't know how to beat Cathedral without at least Berserk, so, berserk. Juggler is always good, especially with melee.
My favorite builds are Vampyre, Sharpshooter and Shottyhead.
Gear - I usually make "tactical" everything. Boots, armor, shotgun.

Still don't have reliable strategy for Mortuary. I know running for nuclear  BFG helps at prolonged sieges, as well as having nuclear plasma rifle, as well as clearing some patchess with skulls. And that worst case, I can do four Azrael blasts to kill all Viles, at a cost of 20 maximum health. But either way, above HNTR I end either dead (rarely) or nearly out of resources, so I have to do reast of the game with nuclear weapon, melee and handful of remaining ammo/medpacks.

Deathwind:
For getting into harder difficulties I found the marine's ammochain build (Rel>Rel>SoaB>SoaB>Th>Th>MAc) to work very well. With this build you rely on shotguns and corner-shooting till you hit ammochain (if you clear each floor you should get it around the armory on HNTR).
I find Tac boots to be a better use of mods than the assault rifle as you will retire it for plasma but rapid fire guns tend to be lacking in accuracy so spending one A mod on your chaingun may be a good investment. The spider lair's reward is insane for this build as it removes most of your ammo worries.

thelaptop:
Rule of thumb for chain-fire weapon is always one A-mod for chaingun, 2 A-mods for plasma rifle.  Substitute each A-mod for one EE.
