For people who are having trouble with this type of mission:

You basically have to have a really high slash damage weapon or large AOE abilities/weapons to get through this type of mission. Weapons I've found that work:

Primary:

- Flux Rifle. High amounts of slash thanks to its DPS.

- Amprex. Electrical Arc hit multiple infested all at once, and can do quite a bit of damage to massive groups of them

- Ogris/Penta. Because explosions. (Torid can also be used, but toxin will be less effective)

- Miter. Highest base slash damage of any weapon currently, as well as being very bouncy

- Glaxion, Quanta, or Ignis. Although fairly low range, they can keep the infested at bay. Just pray there aren't too many Ancients that can hook you. (Note: Glaxion is less effective against Infested Flesh and Fossilized Flesh, so I wouldn't use this one unless you want the slow/freeze)

- Any high RoF weapon (Gorgon, Soma, ect.) with Shred and/or Gas damage.

- Although I wouldn't think of doing it, you could use Dread because of its extremely good slash damage. Just be sure you have a close-range weapon for when the chargers swarm over you.

Secondary:

- Pyrana, Brakk, and Akbronco Prime have the highest base slash damage of all secondary weapons. If you'd prefer something other than shotguns, the Marelok also has about the same DPS and status chance of all secondaries.

- Angstrum. Cuz 'Splosions

- Stug and Tysis, for corrosive damage against Ancients. Also, Tysis has highest status chance of all secondaries, so slapping on some fire damage might not hurt.

Melee:

- Orthos/Orthos Prime can be absolutely devastating. Not only do they have high slash damage, but they also have extremely good range as well as a blast proc for jump attacks.

- Nikana/Dragon Nikana as they both have rediculously high amounts of slash damage. Dragon Nikana is especially recommended, as it has the highest slash damage of every melee weapon in the game. Only problem is the tiny jump attack radius.

- Scindo/Scindo Prime is capable of hitting multiple targets, as well as dealing a 6 meter wide knockdown radius in a jump attack. Also carries momentum, which reduces the chances of being knocked down by infested chargers/volatile runners. Scindo Prime is on par with Dragon Nikana for DPS.

- Kronen/Fang/Fang Prime because of the fact they they have extremely high amounts of damage in their spin attacks, as well as decent amounts of slash damage to compliment.

- A whole lot of melee weapons. Seriously. It's impossible to list them all here.

Tell me anything you think that might improve this list. I might also add in warframes.
