Overview

Triage is the premier healing support of Marathon, making him one of the best choices for squad play.

Equipped with two Med-Drone that allow him to keep his team in optimal shape and even distribute consumables with Shareware.exe, it's one of the most sought out Shells to play alongside. Reboot+ is the only ability that lets you revive during lockout state, giving his team an edge in long fights.

Lastly, even though many of his abilities are for defensive purposes, Reboot+ and Battery Overcharge give him the ability to go on the offensive.

Factions to Focus

Triage greatly benefits from prioritizing CyberAcme, NuCaloric, and Arachne.

CyberAcme covers all your basics with expanded vault space, Heat Capacity, and much more. It just makes your life easier.

NuCaloric is the perfect fit with Triage's playstyle, as it unlocks the most consumables related to survivability that you can distribute with Med-Drone's Shareware.exe.

Lastly, Arachne might seem like a strange choice at first since everyone knows them as the PvP faction, but don't forget that they unlock bonuses for reviving allies.

Recommended Weapons

BR33 Volley Rifle and V75 Scar give you powerful versatility as the Volley Rifle is powerful for its use at close and long range fights while the Scar works incredibly well with Triage's Battery Overcharge.
