Which Skills are the Best?
The best skills you can decide to purchase depending on your situation. The Scanner Pulse variant is a good starter if you are playing alone since it keeps you aware of nearby enemies so you are ready for a fight.
Similarly, the Firestarter Chem can cover a wide area eliminate a large number of enemies easily to make your gameplay easier. The Blinder Firefly is also a good option since it immobilizes enemies.
For team gameplay, we recommend skills that provide health regeneration, revives, or buffs. The Restorer, Reviver, or Booster can meet this requirement.
The Fixer Drone is a very good choice for its mobility. If your goal is to deal out massive damage then stick with the Firestarter Chem Launcher.
