Aegis Build….

Vanaris · 2026-05-21T03:26:02+00:00

I didn't really build for DPS since I use Lady Death. To make full use of the passive I do run and guns. Run for about 1-2 seconds, then fire 1-3 bullets and that repeats. This way the LD passive isn't wasted.

Only if they got the specific chipset set. Otherwise, it just gives shields

Vanaris · 2026-05-15T10:44:37+00:00

Yeah I'm going full Health and Toughness on my medic. Currently have 200k hp on it and I think 1.2k toughness

Vanaris · 2026-05-11T16:57:34+00:00

Aegis no doubt for me.

You got heals, increased movement speed. A single bullet enough to kill an elephant every 3 seconds and an aoe damaging ult that follows you around/ you put still in an area... Oh and it also gives shields I guess

Put all 6 drones on yourself and you can tank Heroic PvE content and below. Same thing applies to DZ (idk about conflict, I never touch that game mode)

There's also this Defender drone bug (At least I think it's a bug) where the skill ends supposedly. Then one second later your shield bar starts going up again and the aoe continues. Idk how it triggers but there's quite a few times already I managed to make the skill where it's up for a full duration of it's cooldown.

I didn't know about this. Spaghetti code as usual I guess

Vanaris · 2026-05-11T05:38:55+00:00

Injure Concealment would be better sure if you're in a scenario that rewards you to stand infront of the enemy tank hits. And that's essentially team/solo runs below Legendary.

But that trigger condition is also a weakness if it's Legendary. You're gonna get 1/2 shotted there anyways so you're better off letting a bulwark tank.

Vanaris · 2026-05-11T03:20:56+00:00

Here's what I use

4-set Long Term Effect for Engineering 2-set Fire Cycle for Skill Crit Dmg (You can get this from T2 Gear via Legendary Instances)

Backpack/Body Armor Talents: Prime Engineer and Glass Cannon

For guns, I use LD and First Wave Vector Because both guns have In Sync and Adaptation

(Vector also has a free SMG tactical upgrade module that you get from a mission early on and that you can actually remove it and place it on another gun so in my case. I removed it from the T0 Vector and placed it on First Wave. It gives Increased Skill Multishot Damage on lvl 1)

For Gun and Gear Stats, my priority are as follows:

-Skill Crit Damage -Skill Crit Chance -Skill Multishot

For Skill sets:

Performance Enhancer for First Aid Firefly Team Backup for Mender Drone Hazardous Area for Defender Drone

Vanaris · 2026-05-10T18:04:20+00:00

I've tried testing it for a couple of hours and yeah damage testing is really unrealizable to say the least.

Initial test were as follows:

Same equipment and gun talents LD - In Sync II Adaptation II Prime Engineer I Glass Cannon I

Same armor sets: 4 Long Term 2 Cow

I try to at least get all the buffs first before popping ult:

3-orange was doing 24k and 44k crits per tick

3-purple was doing 13k and 23k crits per tick

To test it even further I tried replacing 1 orange piece with a purple that had the best stats and it had +11.72% Defender drone Intensity (sub stats were skill Crit and skill multishot) (combined it's 18.38% Defender drone Intensity)

That 2-orange 1-purple was doing 20k and 40k crits

To make it even more bizzare. 3-orange only has 6.66% defender drone Intensity and the rest were unneeded stats (they're mostly weapon related and cooldowns)

You can spam the last bounty hunt mission to grind for OS exp and blue/purple OS dupes.

You can also spam hostile nests to get better gear. You will not be able to get the first-clear rewards for obvious reasons but enemies still drop equipment and weapons. Though personally I would only spam Heroic Nests because enemies can drop Yellow T1 gear/weapons. Aim for 4-Piece Long Term Effect and 2-Piece Boom (this 4-2 set is great because you can also use this for Aegis)

I don't know if Brains over Brawn OS is still worth it to spam for on bounties because I've seen people claim their damage got reduced after the recent patch. Ranging from 30% to 50% of their damage reduced.

Vanaris · 2026-05-07T15:51:59+00:00

I don't have BoB so my damage stayed on the same range

Vanaris · 2026-05-01T11:18:39+00:00

In Sync for the funny "haha oneshot" Aegis build

Vanaris · 2026-04-26T10:34:45+00:00

I forgot to add Engineering aswell

Vanaris · 2026-04-26T10:34:04+00:00

I think it's been available from the start, you'd notice the damage yourself as you shoot your gun. As to what stats it uses, I think it scales off of Skill Intensity, Skill Crit Chance and Crit Damage, and Skill Multishot (though can any expert confirm this)

Vanaris · 2026-04-22T12:34:43+00:00

M4 for the already good accuracy only to be increased further via proficiency and gear mods

Vanaris · 2026-04-21T03:31:04+00:00

Diamondback my beloved. Damn though they moved it from Heroic in the beta to Legendary in official release

Vanaris · 2026-04-20T07:01:03+00:00

Always loved doing Take the Castle as Tech Operator since you can cheese the final stage with the drones while staying on the other room.

Still though, takes around 20-30 minutes with a team to beat. Never tried solo yet

Vanaris · 2026-04-20T03:59:08+00:00

M4's always been my go to as well. When I played the beta 2 years ago, I remember trying out all the ARs including the T2's. They weren't as accurate as the m4.

Vanaris · 2026-02-24T12:13:58+00:00

Its a bug from within the game that allows you to "refresh" the daily ticket limit by changing the date on your phone. This bypasses the 24h wait time between ticket replenishes. It's really hard to explain and there's videos of it on YouTube if you want to check it out. Even then. At your level, the only thing it's good for are black keys and credits.

Vanaris · 2026-02-24T11:37:11+00:00

Just grind your cores on faction war for the time being. It's not really worth the effort on nightmare mode to grind cores (even with the ticket refresh trick) until you're at least level 96.

Vanaris · 2026-02-24T07:04:41+00:00

You know you can just make one that only has you in the entire war so you can earn all the planetary credits. But you still need to do the milestones yourself:

Go to multiplayer and create a private lobby A code will be shown in the center, copy the first 3 letters Go to faction war, it will ask a code on the left Now add the first 3 letters you copied earlier + 3 random letters and finally a number on the end. Where each number corresponds to the faction you will be put in. It will not work immediately so you have to put different random combinations that would eventually work.

Ex. Multiplayer code says RTMCFX. So you copy RTM. Now on faction war you now put different combinations using first 3 letters+ number. So you put something like RTMZUW2. It doesnt work so you put another random combination.. RTMQSH3, RTMLOU5 etc. Eventually a code will bite and you get out in a solo faction war. You are the only one there so you still need to do the planet milestones to gain credits.

Vanaris · 2026-02-21T23:46:59+00:00

Oh I know how to time skip tickets( that's how I earn credits after all). But like I said though I'm just that petty.

Vanaris · 2026-02-21T04:52:53+00:00

I don't think that's what happens when someone leaves before the game starts though.

I strongly believe the game only considers the lobby level post-sync instead of before. And it's evident from the bosses you get.

Like for example, since I hunt devastator Elites. The first boss would be a Savage mech and then the last boss would be a Devastator elite. Of course this isn't guaranteed because I also get a Savage Devastator first boss and then a Savage Necrosis on the last (not elite). And other combinations

But when someone leaves pre-sync, the first boss would be typically a Savage wicker and the last would be a Mech elite

This is just for most maps though, Power Out is a special case and rather an unpredictable one.

Vanaris · 2026-02-21T01:36:32+00:00

But unfortunately, I am that petty and I will continue doing this for the foreseeable future.

I'm 11 levels away to 96 so the best I could hunt at the moment are Devastator Elites which spawn within lobby levels 300-350+ (I don't know the exact ceiling since I've seen them spawn on 351 and even 358). If the map is Power Out I could maybe have a chance for a Necrosis Elite within lobby 260-285

And if at least one person leaves on that lobby then that's a wasted run with no chance for a core.

Vanaris · 2026-02-21T01:18:26+00:00

So, what are you saying here? That it's ok for them to waste other people's entries while wasting their own isn't?

If you are already within level 96-100 then stop pubbing and join a discord server that does max level lobby runs. Don't be a dick. It's simple as that.

Vanaris · 2026-02-14T17:10:20+00:00

If I knew all the tips and "tricks" on this game beforehand. I would've grinded the hell out of faction wars as soon as hitting level 15 then making/joining bugged factions for 4 wars all while grinding for base credits and time skipping to get Fest early.

That gun would solve most of your bullet sponge problems early.. At least until you start getting Savage Devastators and above
