This build focus completely on constantly keeping up-time on Agile Engagement and Weapons Specialist .
The idea is to constantly keep the melee buffs active and lean heavily on an aggressive Zealot like play style, while relying on Weapons Specialist to never have to reload the M35 Magnacore Mk II Plasma Gun , while staying close to the fight at all times with Close and Kill and Duck and Dive .
Shredder Frag Grenade is chosen over Krak Grenade because both the M35 Magnacore Mk II Plasma Gun and the Aridin Mk I Power Falchion can effectively deal with Carapace Armor.
The build's biggest weakness is Boss Damage. Shredder Frag Grenade and Serrated Blade can keep bleed stacks on a boss, but the fight gets sticker without dedicated anti-bossing tools like Focus Target! .
Alt Playstyles:
Demolition Team , Iron Will , Confirmed Kill and Out for Blood are all base Veteran nodes. Never remove them.
The first nodes to remove are Invigorated then On Your Toes , the stamina and Toughness are nice, but the other nodes in your build keep you covered.
- To play more ranged: Take Fully Loaded with both Deadshot and Longshot being worth considering.
- For more of a support build: Field Improvisation is a must, with both Born Leader and Leave No One Behind having their use cases.
- For better boss damage, take the Krak Grenade . The Scandar Mk III Power Sword is one of the best bossing tools the Veteran has, but you lose the ease in all rounding the Aridin Mk I Power Falchion .
