Reaper

My go to reaper build.

Reaper

I don't always get the exact same things every time, it's best to adjust for scenarios, but usually this is roughly what i'll aim for.

Can sell adrenaline shot if need be. If you still can't afford it, get 2 blue weapon items in its place (technoleech and after-market firing pin is a solid choices) Green sell order if needing extra money: Adrenaline shot 1st, compensator 2nd, Plasma Converter 3rd

Round 3

Shrouded Shrapnel
Shrouded Shrapnel

Using [Wraith Form] increases the number of pellets per shot in your next magazine by 25% and its spread by 50%.

Booster Jets
Booster Jets
20% Attack Speed

When you use an ability, gain 10% Move Speed for 2s.

The third round can vary, you can optionally get vanadium injection if needing survivability and ults not feeling useful (purple survival, 10k), or El-Sa'Ka surpressor for antiheals (purple weapon, 11k), or if you're doing well financially, send it on Eye of the Spider (purple weapon, 14k). if you need tankbusting by this time, can get both shieldbuster (blue weapon, 4k) and codebreaker (purple weapon, 9k), but this doesn't work for JQ, which instead just stick with booster jets. If you ever don't have enough money for a purple weapon, I'd recommend trying to get Talon Modification Module (blue weapon, 6k), technoleech (blue weapon, 4.5k), After-Market firing pin (blue weapon, 3.75k) and Spectral Slugs (blue weapon reaper unique, 4k). the blues aren't in a particular order just get what you can afford but try prioritise purple items first. Green sell order if needing extra money: Adrenaline shot 1st, compensator 2nd, Plasma Converter 3rd

Refer to round 3 notes. The last power on round 7 can be flex, whether you need wraith renewal for extra sustain, silent as the grave if making stealth plays, harvest fest for sustain and ammo (good if playing mid range at first then engaging and using the soul as a DIY health pack), or Ghosted if needing anti attack speed (or need to slow down fast targets like soldier 76)

Description

This setup is more for diving in with teleport, and getting out with wraith form, and being able to use wraith form as a quick reload if you're near a low enemy. Usually you want to be playing for picks, trying to find the easiest targets on their team then using the kill reset to wraith form out, or find a new target to chain resets. aggression is rewarded if playing this build/playstyle, you survive off of lifesteal and knowing where your supports are (and yes, protect them)
