This build may need some tweaking. But its auric approved. Please bear in mind that I am fully aware that Close and Kill and Smokes are inferior choices when compared to Survivalist and Frags/Kraks. This build explores the bottom of the tree and what you can do with it and the taxes on that are steep. The shotgun in this build is quite useful at many ranges with the veteran's abilities and simply leveraging weapons specialist to keep you topped off allows you to always just blast the nearest light target to keep attack speed up. It also gives you a nice damage boost when you swap back from agile engagement to your melee that can easily put you over some breakpoints. You can use either the MK4 or the MK12 in this build. Infiltrate is to be used the same way you use chastise, even just quick tapping it off in a hoard to get the big buffs, or for rescue and mission objective operations or as an escape button. Try to keep a charge cooling down and one in the bank for emergencies.
