Tips & Tricks

Smoke Blasting

  • Scrapper can blast up to 6 times on a single smoke field, usually 3 is enough
    • 6 smoke blasts is enough to fully stack stealth on a party with one extra blast to refresh the duration lost during blasting. More than 6 blasts per party adds nothing, so coordinate blasts with your party.
  • There are many ways to do three blasts, an easy recommended combination is: + + Magnetic Shield
  • To get more include any of the following: , , , ,

Revealing

  • Up to 5 different templates can be used for revealing, of these 1, 2 and 5 are the most essential
  1. Blasting Template
  2. + +
  3. + + - swap immediately after casting
  4. + + - swap immediately after casting
  5. Normal build - swap once safely back on group
  • Use a rifle for and to quickly cover distance
    • Make sure to swap back to normal weapon after casting
  • All build templates need to keep the exact same traits or Stealth Stealth will be removed on swapping template

Settings

  • Also under General Options / User Interface turn on Thick party health bars
    • Thick squad health bars can be used too as a matter of personal preference, but is not recommended for large numbers
