*Recon*

[Lord Poodle Moth]

Weapons
SMG - Gotta go fast right?
Salamander - Trash clear extraordinaire

Defense
Sonic Flash-bang - One point, helps get big threats suppressed and keep them suppressed longer
Large Power Core - You want to be overpowered for energy regeneration.

Offense
Artillery - Max this guy and use it at every chance. Exp on Biomass.
Crit shot - A few points in here and the SMG will get some great returns on damage.
Large Power Core

Support
Sprint - Gotta go fast right?
security bypass - Mobs cant follow you while looting if the door isnt opened
Scout drone or conceal - Either run in the buildings yourself to loot or use the scout drone to bring supplies to the team. I prefer scout drone
3x overcharge boosters (or inventory boosters). More points for crit and arty or scout drone. Inventory is good if you want to mule bombs and use bombs during big fights to help the team. Or if your medic is slacking you can carry all the medical supplies. Inventory makes you very flexible.


Concept

Gotta go fast? - Sector power and and power relays protected by blast doors are a priority for your to get into and open up for the team. as well as dropping arty on biomass whenever you can.
Run around and loot things. if someone else is already doing this take a different build that does damage.

using 3 overcharge would put you under 80 energy, preventing you from using artillery until enough battery are found. not sure if i am missing something in this build

i got something better

use both guns as weapon = gotta go fast

GED elpida + orbital Targeting + Flare + Decoy

hacking as utility

only 1 overload enough to raise everything but 1 skill to max, last one will have 3 pts (in this build decoy)

flare = best CC skill in game period, you have 5s of downtime on it and it just let trash pile up in a single place, great for teamplay OR for unloading orbital or elpida on them.

Falre cant be used inside, but other skills can, so you can just put a flare out before entering a building, kite a lyganesh or behemot at the door, land orbi + elpida and anything outside is dead.

Eplida for reference at max level is a total of 5 lasers doing 6000 damage per second for 4 seconds.

5x6000x4 = 120k aoe damage. you have enough burst to kill almost any living boss if you can target it right, which is what the Flare is used for, pull up as many monster in one spot as possible. nothing except dogs boss follows you inside, use that to your advantage

1 overload + capacitor you can skip capacitor, but you wont be able to use elpida before its tier 5 and have found 1 blue ball.

Never found a viable use for overload, the energy cost just gimps the builds imo (unless you got passive build with no energy required)

as long as you got 4 skills you can always max 3 and 2 spare points, 1 point never gonna be game changer.

Instead of overload, grab some agility to move faster

I don't see that mentioned in OP- also if they are that old and irrelevant, why are these threads not locked/ deleted then if the game has changed that much since then post release?

yet it's still the first thing you'll see when searching for recon build, so unless it's deleted i see no reason not to discuss recon here.
