I've been teaching as many players as I can the proper anti-Illuminate tactics these last two weeks

Too many lives have been lost trying to kill fleshmobs with termite grenades and 500kg bombs when an autocannon with flak rounds kills them and overseers with ~3 shots

Also very prevalent is not understanding how their ablative armor works. You don't need to punch through it, you need to just keep shooting

High DPS, storms of bullets, incendiary weapons

Only thing you need high AP for is Leviathans and even then, if you utilize cover properly they can't touch you and you can usually just run away from them
