I was just thinking to myself, most classes have specific loadouts, or a couple of loadouts at high difficulty. Firebugs almost always go flamethrower/MAC10, sharps go HC/Xbow / LAR/EBR, zerkers often go katana/axe/LAR etc etc.
Supports seem to vary a lot though, and I can think of about 5 viable loadouts. As well as every onperk weapon being a viable weapon to use (I still see a lot of players I'd class as pro using the CSG).
So yea. What is your loadout for support, and why? Also, what difficulties do you play on?
I normally go SG/AA12/M79.
I'm not good enough to axe/HSG a scrake at higher difficulty yet, so the AA gives me a nice bit of burst damage against FPs or scrakes and lets me kill them with a bit of help. SG is a great weapon against smaller/fewer zeds, and the quick reload time combined with ability to reload shell by shell means that I very rarely completely end up with it dry.
M79 I like, because it gives me some crowd control, as well as meaning that I never really run out of ammo. Very occassionally, I'll swap out the M79 for a medic gun, if we don't have a medic and are likely to take a pounding.
