DUST Search - Saboteur Build Help

Thanks for the reply Cyrius

Lots of good ideas, and some of that setup is very similar to what I was looking into. The main thing I can't decide on suit-wise is going Medium Minmatar or Medium Gallente. With the Minmatar, you get the speed enhancement and sidearm enhancement with tier 2 suits, as well as damage mods and shield tanking. With the Gallente, you are slower but naturally armor tank, and it has more LP equipment which seems a lot better for a saboteur's job (codebreaker, profile dampener, range amplifier, etc.) I'm leaning towards Gallente, but I'm still not sure. It will probably come down to the weapon I use.

The reason I wanted to go with dual sidearms was to save on SP, but to get a decent flaylock you have to spend as much as it would take to get a Light Weapon. So that's now left open. Whichever weapon it may be, I would prefer it to end encounters with minimal fire. I'm thinking the TAC or SR, and not because they're FOTM weapons, but because they're mid-long range weapons that deal high damage with good aim, and that seems like it would be crucial to this build.

Other than those two things, the build is starting to come together.

Minmatar logi + Kinetic Catalyzers and some SP in biotic upgrades should give you decent sprint speed. The only downside is 1 weapon slot, so pick something that works fairly well close range and be OK medium range. Assault rifle? Scrambler rifle? I'd go: Complex shield extenders Weapon Remote Explosive Proximity Mine RE/Nanohive Kinetic catalyzer and the stamina ones The proto and advanced RE have a shorter time to be primed, and I find running away from a target and dropping an RE to be detonated when they give chase pretty fun!

And, since I'm usually going to be out of the way of many direct firefights, having lower HP would still work out. That does raise the question however, should I focus on getting the logisuit first, or focus on getting my equipment, like the grenades and REs? At least for my first 500,000 SP. EDIT: Just tried out ant fell in love, LOVE with the scramble rifle...where has this thing been the whole time >_> 500K SP isn't enough to be looking at the dropsuits, but I'd push towards them asap regardless. If you already have 500kSP free, save up and dump it into getting an advanced minnie logi suit which has 4 slots i believe, or is it the proto that has 4 slots, not sure so you'll have to check. At the very least I think the basic suit gives you 3 equip slots. Reason is, it doesn't take too long to save up SP for the explosives, less than 200k in total i think, whereas getting to your advanced logi suit will take quite a long time.
