I'll upgrade my reload then.

Believe me, it doesn't help much. The reload on the BSG is too long to rely on, even with Reload and Commando lv5.

I doubt there are many people who have put more time into the Breach SG than I have, considering I used it almost exclusively from its introduction in beta until the release of Uprising 1.0. It's significantly different now, the only thing about it that hasn't changed is the reload, and you HAVE TO get the kill with your two shots.

I've used it off and on since Uprising, and I've used it effectively on a few fittings. First of all, the Commando isn't worth it. You can reduce the reload time, but you can't increase the fire rate, which is also agonizingly slow. A Commando is a huge, slow, and relatively squishy target, you'll be dead before you get two shots off (keep in mind, low RoF means slow weapon swaps).

Instead, put it on a Gal Scout or Min Assault, with 1-2 DMs, and enough tank to take a hit, but still stay mobile. Any more than 2 DMs is just wasting valuable HP, and you're going to need it. Anything less than the ADV Breach isn't worth it, since alpha is priority one. For your sidearm, go with either a Breach SMG or a Breach ScP; you need something that can deal good damage in a short amount of time, but still hold up on its own.

I'll end with one final, obvious note: DON'T ******* MISS.

Vyzion Eyri WarRavens 2652	Posted - 2015.03.23 08:36:00 - [17] - Quote I've started using the advanced breach shotty and oh my god, getting headshots on people hacking points is the most glorious feeling you will ever get, especially if they're in a prototype suit. On my cloaky scout and the way I play 2 shots is more than enough, and it teaches me to be more accurate with my initial shots anyway. On any other shotgun, if I miss my first two shots I'm probably dead anyway, so with a breach at least I make them count. Missing both shots doesn't necessarily spell death. If you caught the guy by surprise, he/she will probably backpedal and try find you, meaning you have time to cloak up and run. With a typical shotgun, you'd probably stay around and get killed. I've been loving the breach SG, works really well with my cloaky playstyle. If anything, reduce fitting cost slightly. > Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
