Build Guide

Description:

This build is meant for newer players who have just hit world tier 5. Players can start easily clearing the basic content on world tier 5, like HVTs (High risk will require group), Lz Bosses, UG and Challenging missions(group) using this build.

The playstyle in this build will be primarily staying Mid-Range. Lwm4 being your gun of choice at mid-range while the mg5 being at a longer range. Your primary objective is to land shots as much as possible while maintaining a high rpm.

 

Primary Weapon:

Lwm4/LVOA are the primary weapon of choice, while being extremely easy to control, they also provide you with high rpm, allowing you to land shots quickly.

Competent is a very good talent for increasing damage while running a skill build and is a must on every skillpower focused build

Talented is free extra skillpower and is a decent amount of boost to your skillpower.

Determined is an optional talent, it will allow to you to recharge your skills and ultimate even quickly. It can also be switched for Predatory to provide more sustain or Destructive/Ferocious for more damage.

 

Secondary Weapon:

Mg5 is a nice choice for secondary, snipers aren’t worth as they will slow down the rate at which you gain your stacks. Talent choices are the same as the primary.

 

Alternative Weapons:

ACR, G36 are nice alternates while being less effective compared to Lwm4/LVOA can be used till a nice version of lwm4/lvoa are found. Mg5 can be switched for another AR if preferred.

 

SMG aren’t recommended as they will force you to go close range. Shotguns also aren’t for the same reason.

 

Sidearm:

A pistol with expert rolled off for cool-headed is a very nice sidearm. You can also run a lower gearscore pistol to have cool-headed on another slot and keep it active at the same time.

X45 is a very stable pistol and will easily allow you to land headshots. Coolheaded’s primary objective will be to recharge your ult, once used quickly.

Skills:

Booster Shot

Booster shot will give you free damage and toughness boost. At this level of skillpower you will be easily able to overheal yourself easily, instantly activating inventive, competent along with the buffs from booster.

BFB

This will be your skill of choice for taking out Snipers, grenadiers, Healers and enemy Support stations. Preference should be box/healer -> sniper -> grenadier. A bfb will also hit through the shield of a lmb heavy if you stick the bomb on his shield.

Recovery Link

This is basically a free second chance for you when solo. It should be immediately recharged getting headshots with the sidearm(coolheaded) on the last enemy of the wave you are on after you use it.

Character Talents:

Chain Reaction

This is free damage boost for your BFB sticky. Just make sure to bunch mobs up!

Demoliton Expert

Demolition Expert has a shorter duration than your Sticky Cooldown and will need some headshots using your sidearm with cool-headed, If you find it not according to your playstyle in doing so, you may switch Demolition Expert to Death By Proxy and target deployed skills. They will give you stacks while also being extremely easy to kill.

Death By Proxy

Enemy Deployed skills are extremely easy to destroy, targeting those will give a free boost to your skill power.

P.S. You gain stacks on shooting deployed enemy skills.

Critical Save

Helps you survive easily in a dangerous situation.

Strike Back

Will help you get back your skill quickly in case of dangerous situations.

    this isn't even a tech build when u have that much gun dps n health minimum 3050k skillpower to even do challenge mode. if u build this tech build right itll kill everything without having to use ur guns. this is no such thing as beginner tech builds. anybody can build tech builds n use them.

    Cool, I was curious about that point. I don't have a pistol to use for recharging skills as yet, but am on the hunt for one.

    Demolition expert does proc after getting the kill, your BFB sticky recharges slower than Demolition expert, it is intended to use as you mentioned with a lead off frag grenade or using your pistol to land headshots and recharge the skill faster with coolheaded! If your gun has determined on it, you will also find it recharging faster..... Thank you for pointing it out, I will add the point along with alternatives if one finds uncomfortable doing so....

    I get Chain Reaction, but does Demolition Expert proc in time to buff the sticky bomb blast? I would've thought it wouldn't kick in until after you get the kill credit. And even at 42% skill haste, I still can't get the BFB back in time to fire again while Demolition Expert is still up. I suppose one could lead off with a frag grenade, but then that makes the mob scatter, and I would think you'd want them all as tightly together as possible.
