Kneepad : Firearms | Critical Hit Damage, Damage To Elites, Burn Resistance, Bleed Resistance
Bag : Stamina | Health, Ammo Capacity
Gloves : Firearms | SMG damage, Critical Hit Damage, Critical Hit Chance
Holster : All | Reload Speed

Gear Mod: Firearms +267 1% Critical Hit Chance(x1) + Stamina +267 1% Critical Hit Chance(x4)

Skills : Booster Shot, Recovery Link, EMP Sticky bomb

Guns : The House (Responsive, Deadly, Card Counter) + Lightweight M4 or LVOA-C ~ PVP (Vicious, Deadly, Responsive) or Lightweight M4 or LVOA-C ~ PVE (Deadly, Brutal, Destructive).


This build is pretty good for all PVE missions and Resistance. However, if you swap out the recommended Prototype Perf Mods with +6.0% First Aid Self Heal(x2) or +6.0% Sticky Bomb Explosion Radius(x2), you should be able to do fairly well in PVP games such as Last Stand, Skirmish and DZ. Experiment with the performance mods according to your play style. The EMP Sticky bomb is meant to disrupt Healing stations/ Immunizer boxes/ Striker healing capability.
Predator Classified (PVP/DZ) 3/9/3 ~ final

Mask : Stamina | Critical Hit Chance, Burn Resistance
Kneepad : Stamina | Critical Hit Damage, Shock Resistance, Burn Resistance, Bleed Resistance

Talents : Critical Save, Shrapnel, Demolition Expert, Chain Reaction
Guns : Lightweight M4 (Competent, Talented, Ferocious in free slot) + Custom M44 / M700 Carbon (Competent, Talented, Coolheaded in free slot)


This build is meant as a tactical assault / support build for the team and is pretty good at dealing out massive enemy damage. If you have rolled the gear pieces the right way, you should get just over 40% Enemy Armor Damage and 40% Damage to Elites; with approximately 50% Skill haste. So you will be able to lob those Sticky Bombs and toss Seeker mines every few seconds ;)

It's a perfect build for solo / co-op Legendary missions, as well as, Underground missions.
Reclaimer (PVE/Resistance) 4/3/9 - Healer/Support Build ~ final
Vest : Electro | Health, Skill Haste, Ammo Capacity
Mask : Electro | Health on Kill, Damage to Elites
Kneepad : Electro | Skill Power, Damage to Elites, Disrupt Resistance, Bleed Resistance
Bag : Electro | Skill Power, Ammo Capacity

Holster : All | Skill Haste

Gear Mod: Electro +267 + Skill Power(x5)
Perf Mod : +5.0% Support Station Healing Speed(x4)
Skills : Life Support, Recovery Link, Defibrilator
Talents : Triage, Battle Buddy, Combat Medic, Tech Support
Guns : Lightweight M4 (Competent, Talented, Ferocious in free slot) + Paratrooper or Surplus SVD (Competent, Deadly, Coolheaded in free slot)


This build is meant as a healer / support build for the team and is fairly decent at delivering enemy damage. You will most likely be fighting from cover, however setting the healing station down should be more than enough to keep your health at max level as you fight alongside your teammates

It's a perfect healer build for co-op Legendary, Resistance, and Underground 3 Phase (5 directive) missions.
D3-FNC Classified (PVE) 4/9/3 - Offensive Tank Build
Vest : Stamina | Exotic Damage Resilience, Enemy Armor Damage, Ammo Capacity
Mask : Stamina | Skill Power, Burn Resistance (or Disorient Resistance)
Kneepad : Stamina | Skill Power, Damage to Elites, Burn Resistance, Bleed Resistance
Bag : Stamina | Skill Power, Ammo Capacity
Gloves : Stamina | SMG damage, Critical Hit Damage, Critical Hit Chance
Holster : All | Reload Speed

Gear Mod: Stamina +267 1% Critical Hit Chance(x1), Firearms +214 3% Damage to Elites(x4)

Skills : Assault Shield, Recovery Link, Flame Turret
Talents : Adrenaline, Critical Save, On the Move, Precision
Guns : The House (Deadly, Sustained, Card Counter) + Eir / MP7 (Deadly, Sustained, Predatory)


This build is excellent for Incursions, Legendaries and most PVE combat. Your movement speed will be restricted to a slow pace, however you are a mobile tank that can receive and deal out massive damage.

Note: In order for this build to work effectively, Skill Power must be at a minimum of 120,000 and Stamina a minimum of 9000; therefore the pieces have been collected and rolled accordingly. These two factors are important to receive the maximum shield buff which is 1 million HP.
