Recommended upgrades for Maverick Suit with Executioner

[ghost-haunted]

Hello all,

I've got my Maverick suit and Executioner up to 5, I really enjoy playing the stealthy sniper.

I was hoping to get opinions on upgrades for the suit and gun.

Here's my rough draft...

Suit (Maverick):

1. Extra Backpack Capacity
2. Night Vision
3. Damage Resistance
4. Faster Shield Regen

Gun (Executioner):

1. Extra Ammo Capacity
2. Magazine Size
3. Scope
4. Greater Range or Reload Speed

I don't usually go for headshots. I either silently kill them and sneak around, or just double tap them if they aggro me. Thoughts and opinions greatly appreciated here!

Cheers!

It sounds like you will want both silencing mods for the executioner. I have the noise suppressor and it's great. Can't wait to get audio masking if we ever figure out how to unlock the last engineer. IMO scope is useless for executioner. The extra zoom won't help when the npcs just dodge/walk away from the plasma shots and you can aim just fine with the current one. It also seems to help (based on someone's testing with the shotgun) that it stupidly improves shot spread... which also is pointless for the executioner. Also the damage drop is small so don't bother with longer tabs.

For the suit, you won't need extra resistance or regen if mainly doing stealth. Consider silent feet... which definitely is niche, but is useful for those missions you can't kill people and need to get in to the restricted zone, grab or download something, and leave before the npcs turn their back. Also it looks like the improved scanner one may be useful; based on 3rd hand knowledge it may make the dots on radar turn to arrows from further away. Also consider faster sprinting speed.

I suggest

Quiet Footsteps
Extra Backpack is massive right now. Won't need later once all engineers unlocked.
Sprint. This was major. Feels like more than 2X the sprint. You never run out when mixed with your normal jump.
Faster Scans or more ammo if you fight a lot. -

Thoughts.

Night Vision. Do you need it now? Half the time you are inside. Not necessary and doesn't seem to make a difference. Sounds super cool, just not needed during the day or inside.
Faster Shield Regen - If you are getting hit this much it won't matter.
Damage Resistance - Same as Shield Regen. Too minor to make a big difference.

Executioner

More Ammo. Gives you 5 instead of 3. Big difference if you miss once in a while.
Mag Size
Reload/Accuracy/Stability depending on you.

Use Tormentor for inside. Get silencer (whatever it's called), quick draw, more ammo and reload for inside kills so they don't sound the alarm.

Last mod is up to you depending on what you want.

Range and Scope are meh in general.

I'm putting both silencing on the executioner bc i want to use the tormentor for cz's too where it's pointless. But if not, indoor silencer is def a good idea.

I've been chewing this over and gone with:

Executioner G5 with:

• Audio Masking
• Noise Suppressor
• Higher Accuracy
• Magazine Size

And for Maverick Suit:

• Quieter footsteps
• Increased sprint
• Improved battery

Then wondering whether to get Ammo Capacity, Night Vision or Enhanced Tracking.

Leaning towards ammo capacity as I do run out of ammo sometimes from my vantage point.

I have a second Maverick suit for base raiding that has:

• Backpack Capacity
• Reduced Tool Use
• Increased Sprint
• Jump Assist

On my first G5 Mav, I have backpack, sprint, jump & NVG. Having had a suit with sprint and jump it's really really hard to go back to one without those mods. I'm also building another Mav with the NVG replaced with combat movement (which removes the movement penalty when aiming down sites i.e. when sniping), for daytime use. I also have Dom variants of both these setups with the backpack replaced by quieter footsteps for when I want to go full ninja and don't care about loot.

On my G5 Executioner I have mag size and scope and will add audio masking plus either handling or stability. On my Tormentor, I have noise suppression, handling and audio masking, and will probably add mag size.
