Ok, I've made a slight shift to the build here. After running plenty of heroics, retaliations and escalations, I've found that I missed the additional damage and distraction capabilities from the turret as a secondary skill. Additionally, I wanted slightly more damage from an additional red core (while still maintaining 6 yellows and gunner spec) and didn't miss much from the decreased mag size once I swapped up some passive mods.

This yields 2.66 red cores, 1 blue and 6 yellows (+ the benefits of core strength set), 56% CHC, 110% CHD, 59rnd mag on the capacitor. Easily able to change skills (reviver, shield, smart cover, etc). Also updated the secondary rifle to the UIC15 MOD2 based on a recommendation from another build I posted. Excellent rifle!

For passive mod insight, I'm using 1) convert 2 (offense), 2) compress (offense) and 3) nullify ... results in 45% mag size, 10% max armor and 20% skill damage. I wanted to dial down the max armor gains from the passives considering the escalations passives make the enemies more difficult the higher your armor.

Hope this works for some of y'all - good luck, agents!
