At first I wanted to make a concealment based spec but with Sawed Off. When I helped Drumax with his Desperado spec I felt I needed to do something with that cursed knowledge. Well, it was more cursed: I needed either a lot of mods or an even more cursed skill tree. Instead, I opted for the Vektor Rifle and, to make what I wanted for a long time, more than one thing even: A good damage Vektor spec that benefits from the weapon’s high crit dmg(The spec has hidden flanking crit and aim bonuses to help that more), and a Concealment spec that isn’t just a scout, instead, use concealment to reposition into a safe, yet aggressive position from which to strike next. Weaving in and out of concealment is fun as heck and I had a blast while playing with it.

This spec is a bit on the slow side, both on its growth and playstyle. Needing 3 levels before you can use the mana it starts with, albeit the vanishing takedown is powerful, can feel a bit clunky, but it gets really good real fast. In mission you might want to play slow to gain its mana, and with the fact it doesn’t have Phantom, makes quite a balancing act. All in all, i’m satisfied with it. It’s a bit on the strong side of specs, having very high damage potential, but most of it comes from Quick Feet or its eventual Runeshot combos. It’s weird at the start, but becomes quite fluid the more you get into it, both in experience and playstyle.

Wow, this one was intense. Am playing in and out with it for the past couple weeks, and am very happy with it.
