AR's for a defender

Oops just realised this was over a year old when I posted

AR's can be challenging to use, they are not strong enough to stop a hound (other then wheely or hover) from taking your base. Their primary mission is to wear a hound down, when you defend you just don't have the luxury of time on your side,

What is your view on AR's for a defender hound?

Ar naders are good defenders, but not Ars by themselves

[The Em Kay]

Too slow not enough stopping power.

Use grenades / Cannons / howies / Huge Cannons / anything that deals large damage at close range.

My rule on defenders: Weapons used must kill or strip in less time it takes to kill the base. Very simple rule to follow.

I personally use HEAT, nades, Heatseekers, rocket packs, and cannons.
I think the first two are the best combo for a true defender

You cant waste time trying to kill a pile or MG hover as it dances around your base. Especially when there is 2 or more. Catch them with the HEAT and hold them, slam them with nades and HEAT it up during reload.

Howies and TS work too. Strip them quick or make them flee.
