Upgrade order
Gold goes furthest on the suit parts that matter most for this build. Take these to their cap first:
- Servos: +3% move speed per level, up to 5 levels on the Recon Suit
- Energy Cells: +4% faster ability cooldowns per level, up to 5 levels on the Recon Suit
- Plating: +3% damage reduction per level, up to 5 levels on the Recon Suit
Maxing every part costs about 18,000 gold for the suit, 68,000 for the Storm Scepter and 14,345 for the Needle SMG. See progression.
Getting there
Gear only drops, and never more than 2 levels above you: the Storm Scepter can drop from level 9, the Needle SMG from level 1 and the Recon Suit from level 3. Until then, play the same way with the best guns you’ve found (see the best early guns), and put your first points into Steady Aim, Swiftness, Trigger Finger.
