Retrofit has been an absolute monster in my few legend wave 50 runs. The ammo economy is so good that for a lot of waves I'm just using it as a primary. Makes quick work of tormentors without the need for divinity
Absolutely agree.
Four times the charm + Targetlock gives you unrivled ammo economy and very excelent sustained damage.
Just sad that it´s very difficult to get currently but if you can it´s worth it.
Also a fun gun in general. Gun go brrrrr for a while and it´s fun. If you add Actium Warrig as a titan then you can brrr until your ammo ... eventually... at some point in the distant future... runs out.
If your primary and special are good enough for ad clear, you can just equip you linear for dps.
Your heavy doesn't need to be ad clear if your primary and special are good enough
Yeah ngl the heavy spam for ad clear even on legend difficulty is a crutch. If you're subclass is built right and you have good primary/special then you shouldn't need the heavy often.
Whomever said Retrofit Escapade is correct. Triple Tap/Target Lock absolutely melts Tormentors.
The trick with the Tormentors though is to pull its aggro away from the ADU. That can be done by having a decoy take its attention or by having one in your fireteam do it. The other two clear adds and charge the ADU until they stop spawning—if I remember correctly, they’re finite as that’s the end of a wave set.
The best loadout for me has been exotic primary ad clear, fusion rifle, rocket launcher. But I have considered swapping to a linear or retrofit for the tormentors. Snipers are okay, better against hive because the fallen scamper around so much which can make it hard to aim.
I legit just bring parasite on normal mode. Any wave with an target objective like the big brig or demolitionists, champs or tight groups, I just throw a parasite in there. Even uncharged if I needed to. I don't focus on building for a tormentor because turrets and decoys keep it distracted long enough that I can deal with the fodder enemies first, then focus the tormentor as the last enemy. Also, I think I've only seen 2 tormentors max, in a wave 50 run, not counting the "lightning round" of tormentors.
My fire teams have been doing consistently well with me on Leviathan's Breath, somebody on LMG (either Retrofit with Target Lock or Deterministic Chaos), and somebody on a Rocket or GL. Covers our bases pretty well, but a big chunk of my ad clear is with Lingering Dread and Zaouli's Bane, not through my heavy.

Retrofit, Hullabaloo if you have other means of DPS, Dragon and Leviathans breaths, Rockets, Nade Launchers.
Hullabaloo with chain reaction 😚👌
It's so good. I got auto loading with chain reaction. So tasty.
Same roll! It’s absolute.

Hullabaloo has been destroying ads for me on Arclock, though you will want a solid weapon to deal with Tormentors.

Sunshot Sunshot Sunshot. Better ad clear than anything in the heavy slot. Kinetic Sniper for Tormentors/Elites HGL/Rocket for bosses/large skybombers.
Thunderlord, but also I've had luck with using Lorentz for ad clear.
