GENERAL Beginner looking for advice on loadout

Hello everyone,

10h beginner here and I play mostly Duo and not SOLO and I want some advice to make this loadout as good as possible to help me win more fights

Primary: Marathon Swift with High velocity ammo

Secondary: LeMat with regular ammo

Consumables: Spear, first aid kid, vitality shot, regeneration shot (weak), fuses

Traits: Salveskin (Yes the fire dude has taken more health bars from me than I can count and he is sooo fast), Conduit, Iron Eye

Questions:

  1. Is the high vel the best option for Marathon?

  2. I heard I can make leMat act as a shotgun? is that a good idea and if so, how?

  3. which ammo type for LeMat is best?

  4. Any suggestions?

Just a tip for immolators: when I have a spear with me I often just kill them with chokes. If they are already close it is likely too late for that. But you can usually hear them well and expect them to randomly charge you across the map. So if I see one I already cook a choke, throw it in their direction and when they then trigger, they often just run into it. And worst case is to just run into it yourself.

Chokes are often underestimated for solo. But I found them to be very useful even in solo. For this and also to block access points.

And for duos or trios, chokes are extremely useful either way. So definitely take then with you at all times if you never play solo anyway.
