Ratings

Giving Scrapper a 3 star rating post Impact Savant nerf. The barrier generation was cut from 15% down to 5%, essentially killing this builds main source of sustain.
I would honestly give this build even lower than 3 stars except it's still a good build to run in group events for the group Quickness and superspeed.
Scrapper now has much worse sustain than Holosmith and mechanist, and lower damage as well.

A juggernaut in open world content, especially when running with a partner or a small group. Small group play is bolstered by not only the generous quickness+superspeed uptime on your squad, but also by instant access to some of the most useful combo fields in the game via its menagerie of gyros and the Mortar kit.
While it's possible to solo some difficult content, one must be mindful of this build's limitations. However, by blasting/leaping the water field provided by the medic gyro and its corresponding toolbelt skill, the scrapper can heal itself (and any nearby allies) up to full with a single Hammer 3. Smart and careful play can help players win out in battles of attrition against powerful solo encounters, but this particular build lacks the heavy sustained damage to finish those encounters quickly.
