Everspace 2 - "Silent Bob" Legendary Vindicator Build!

[@I_am_a_human_not_a_commodity]

A great guide as usual. Thank you! :D

[@CyborgSPIKE]

great guide thanks!

[@YezaOutcast]

even without stealth, the vindicator is an excellent choice for rifts, since the drones give enemies a lot more targets to shoot at, this way, you draw away tons of enemy fire from yourself. boosted my survivability significantly.

[@wholesomegamer]

Yep, in these mass conflict situations the reduction in incoming damage is fantastic. And they deal really solid damage themselves.

[@YezaOutcast]

@@wholesomegamer yeah but after lvl 500 their usefulness deminish rapidly.

[@CrusaderXENO]

I got lucky and my T4 Vindicator has the following passives. Max number of drones +1, drones heal 1% per sec, drone death AOE and the 20% damage boost for 6secs after drone death. I haven’t been able to get the cloak armor to drop to try this out yet but looks fun. I run with the super legendary shield and BoB cargo right now.

[@wholesomegamer]

You can swap the passives and refresh the ships every ten minutes, that helps finding the right passives. But +1 drone and the drone healing are my favorite passives 🙂

Use the kamikaze perk on the drones and go for 4.5k expertise...they will explode like arc 9000 ..your next goal is keep around 2.2-2.5k Utility and use omni manus ..use power corrosion mines and the last recockening ..take a swift railgun as second weapon...the game plays allmost itself bro

[@CrusaderXENO]

@@wanjabolle5735 Yeah I have the kamikaze perk instead of the drone immunity while ULT is active. They are like mini nukes. I just leave the wrecks alone till one dies and respawn a new drone.

[@Ilya22822]

On vindicator u should use Commander set except commander shield which is very weak

[@Trooper10231]

Dude you're amazing! Can you help me theory craft a rift Stinger Corrosion Injection chain perma boost build? Ive been messing around with this idea, but havent refined it enough to make it viable above rift 100s. My lack of legendary gear probably hurts.

[@wholesomegamer]

I am currently not using a Stinger, but probably another viewer can help out for the moment. I might dive into that at some point later.

[@Trooper10231]

@@wholesomegamer my stinger injection chain build is built on the premise that I can't aim for shit in CQC, so I make a build that doesn't need to aim, with corrosion injection recharge on kill and the thermogun.

[@Max-rh8kb]

@@Trooper10231 isnt there is a powercore legendary that boost EMP damage, maybe that can help you out?

[@YezaOutcast]

@@Trooper10231 there is a legendary sensor that adds +80% corrosion damage and also hits 3 more targets within your targets range with the corrosion effect.

[@Trooper10231]

@@YezaOutcast thanks!

[@geminii.german]

huhu.... ich vermute Du machst keine Updates mehr oder?

[@wholesomegamer]

Für Everspace im Moment nicht. Vielleicht wenn der DLC kommt und interessant genug ist.

[@lonesomealeks4206]

Vindicator class can't do rift 1000 :( the drones can't kill a single enemy, they just keep chasing each other till time runs out. So far, i have only being able to do 1000 with the bomber, gunship and sentinel

[@wholesomegamer]

My highest respect to do lunacy 1000 rifts at all...I could never punish myself to go beyond 500. I hope they add some more endgame variety in the summer dlc.

[@lonesomealeks4206]

@@wholesomegamer Nah, for the gunship and the bomber 1000 is not even a challenge. it's doable but stressful with the sentinel. More variety in general, yeah. I'd like to see all ship classes equally strong. right now the scout is a joke

[@2Fast4U40]

Very nice! However, there is a minor issue i've found while playing the Vindicator. When going up against hostile "neutral" Units (G&B, Okkar) the Drones sometimes won't attack them. Does anyone else have faced this Problem?

[@wholesomegamer]

I only had that, when I used Teleporter with "Parting Gift" and the mine then exploded on the neutral ships. But I never saw my drones attack neutral targets.
