I'm quite new to the game so I have only played a few Hazard 4 missions so far, but I seem to struggle quite a bit there. I take too much damage and can't seem to keep up with killing enough bugs.

My question is, once you have unlocked the guns/equipment, there is nothing else to get "stronger" right? I mean apart from some Overclocks perhaps? So is it only a "git gud" thing, or is there any advice how to go about these harder difficulties?

Edit: Thank you all for your great advice! I've played through the Assignment "New Hazard Level: Lethal" and the recent Deep Dive without any real trouble. Rock and Stone!

When kiting becomes unfeasible, here's what the classes can do.

Gunner has shields as a panic button to create enough space to clear bugs down to a kitable horde.

Driller (especially with sticky fuel) can obliterate bugs coming from particular directions to help prevent the team from getting flanked.

Engi with breach cutter can create a lane to escape through, or if you have prep time he can set up repellant platforms to funnel bugs into choke points.

Scout can always kite, but should be ready to support the team with IFGs, etc
