Biggest problem is nobody seems to know you can shoot the guns off the damn skiffs as they come in on the Fallen variant. Hive too although it's not as a big a deal. Taken used to be a pain because of the captains but the raid LMG works great on them.

I always take the guns off the first skiff. I'm sometimes too busy for the second, though, which doesn't help. The usual pattern is the first ship we clear okay, the second drops a ton of yellow-bars that get in close, and while we're taking them a row of snipers line up on the hive entrance side of the sat. I end up bubbling to avoid the incoming fire, but this just means a bigger and bigger hoarde builds up, and I die in a second when the bubble runs out. Good to know about the raid LMG. I don't have it yet, sadly.
