Medic Triage Build

The medic class is a cornerstone of any competitive team no matter what game you play. In Marathon Triage is an absolute must to survive the challenges of Tau Ceti IV. The gear that we show below for the beginner section are pretty easy to find out in the world with looting events and defeating world enemies. You can even find many of these from random drone crates or supply drops as well. With our min/maxed build it will require looting and events in some of the higher tiered maps. Overall these builds give you all the tools needed to ensure your team thrives in fights whether its enemy squads or UESC troops!

So how should you play Triage when you're first starting out? First lets do a quick overview of Triage's abilities and how it all works.

1.) Med-Drone - This small floating robot is what you'll focus on the most while on a run. The Med-Drone attaches itself to you and your teammates filling basic health first and the into shields. What's also nice about this little bot is it will ensure you don't bleed out if you get knocked in a fight. Make sure to crawl away if you can into a corner and Med-Drone will keep you healthy until your team arrives. Also if your drone is low on healing you can recharge it by interacting with a new one.

2.) Shareware.exe - This ability works in tandem with your Med-Drone while it's on a teammate. Whenever you heal yourself or use a consumable it shares those benefits with your team as well. This is massive for fights meaning you can consistently boost your team as long as they have a drone on them.

3.) Battery Overcharge - This is the offensive ability of this medic classes kit. When activated you sacrifice heat for a boost to performance with your weapons. If you are using a Volt weapon breaking an enemy shield creates an EMP that affects nearby enemies as well. This is great for close quarter combat since that small blast will have a big affect.

4.) Reboot+ - This Prime ability might be the strongest in the game for its defensive and offensive capabilities. When activated you charge up energy and can release it to revive downed teammates and EMP enemies it touches. This ability only works on two targets at once, but this is massive for getting back into the fight if you're the last member of your team.

Now we must remember that even though Triage is the healing character they have multiple abilities that have offensive use. Because of this your positioning in fights should put you mid-range and behind your team. You are going to be the one who's focused on reviving your teammates that fall in a fight and getting Med-Drone to those in need. At the same time you have the ability to EMP targets with your Volt weapons so don't sit out of fights. Stick with your team in each fight and keep an eye out to make sure they have a Med-Drone to share heals.

When it comes to factions the three biggest to focus on will be CyberAcme, NuCaloric and Arachne.

1.) CyberAcme is your general bonus faction starting out. You get bonuses to your vault space, wallet, heat meter, and much more. You absolutely should feed into this to make sure all your basic needs are met while out in Tau Ceti IV. Definitely focus on the ones for your heat meter since that can be make or break in a fight.

2.) NuCaloric or NuCal is your biggest health based faction. They provide you with basic healing and consumables that benefit you and your team while in battle. Remember teammates that share your Med-Drone benefit from any health or consumable you use so make sure to stock up!

3.) Arachne is going to be the faction you slay out with. Not only do you get bonuses for offense, but Arachne also provides bonuses for reviving teammates and health within their tree. I personally didn't think I would invest much time into them, but I was completely wrong once I saw the faction tree. Slay out Runners!
