Allow the host to share their own strategems with their team. Then allow the host to set up automatic loadouts for their teams to choose whether to adhere to or not. If a player already has a preferred stratagem, they use their own. Otherwise they commandeer that one from the host. They would also be free to change to their own equipment if they want to.

Or just, you know, make the game a little easier so it doesn’t require only the most meta players to progress at a reasonable pace. I’m not a meta player, but I really can’t blame them with the difficulty of this game.
