Tactical Advice
Sample Builds
CCS Marauder
The basic outline for this build is to run it into a problematic foe, beat the crap out of it with Onslaught, then enter One For All and reload. The pod surrounding the problematic foe moves, and gets hit by CCS.
Sample CCS Build:
Close Combat Specialist -> Brawler -> Extra Conditioning -> Shock-Absorbent Armor -> Bring 'Em On -> Shadowstep
Recommended Equipment: Alloy Carbide Plating, Alien Trophy, The Thumper, Kinetic Strike Module, LMEC-2
Notes:
- Repair Servos can be taken over Extra Conditioning for more HP, but less mobility.
- KSM is NOT affected by Red Fog.
Overwatch Marauder
This build relies on the use of reaction shots enhanced by Rapid Reaction + Impact + Sharpshooter to let loose three accurate reaction shots . The plan acquires more deadly consistency upon picking up RTS, granting a nearly guaranteed hit with +3 penetration (Impact) on the first foe that attacks it, and ignoring half of cover defense on all reaction shots. This Marauder specializes in damage at mid-range, lacking the tanking perks of its peers.
Sample Overwatch Build: Rapid Reaction -> Impact -> Sharpshooter -> Shock-Absorbent Armor -> Reactive Targeting Sensors -> Sprinter
Recommended Equipment: Alloy Carbide Plating, Battle Computer, Alien Trophy, Ammo Module, LMEC-2
