For me, stealth and speed are the way to go. Profile dampeners are my friends. Sneaking round to find a good spot for a drop link by an enemy held objective is cool, as is popping up behind snipers who are too lost in their sights to look around. |

Also, play around with the different shotguns, the breach shotgun only have 2 rounds in the clip, but they pack a massive punch.
Oh, and try and work with your team. If your squad can keep an enemy's attention you can flank them nicely.
Long range scanners are also a very useful skill to improve, it lets you see your enemy on your radar earlier, so you can plan your route to them while breaking cover as little as possible. |

I've been playing kinda suicidal, with a big shield buffer and just diving in and melting faces.. I've even closed range face to face with HMG heavies and won, or nearly won, mostly due to moving around like a madman. I'm just not sure if damps or 5-10% speed boosts is worth losing a lot of shields. Perhaps if I play cautiously and try not to die (always a good thing) they would help, but I may just have to try them and see how they work with my playstyle.
My damp and dropsuit scanning skills are level 3 or so to all of them, I'll look at my range and see if that's got anything.. and slowly work those up also. Man I wish we had cloaks.
It's certainly worth playing around with different fittings for different roles, I've got a few scouts I use with different modules and equipment. The stealth drop link is the one that I tend to use the most, but the ninja injector, to sprint in to a fight and pick people up and the uber hacker (my other suit's a Logi) also have their places alongside the sniper hunter.
Have fun seeing what works for you! |
