The Technomancer (engl. “Technomancer”) is considered a flexible all-round class in Outriders. MeinMMO presents a build that is easy to build and suitable for most situations.
What can the Technomancer do in Outriders? The class is characterized by its versatility. The Technomancer can be equipped for almost any situation and is well suited as both a DPS class and a supporter. He has the only true healing skill in Outriders and regenerates health by dealing damage.
In this guide, we present a build by YouTuber Vulkan, which is currently one of the most common combinations for the Technomancer. (via YouTube) The build mainly relies on the Pest Bolts skill and is easy to build for beginners on their way to the endgame.
You don’t need any special tier 2 mods or any other special parts for this. Not even epic items are necessarily required. The build is suitable for almost any situation and can be used both solo and in a group.
Technomancer Build – Skill Tree, Abilities, Equipment
What kind of build is this? The build focuses on the Tech Shaman subclass, the middle branch of the skill tree. The specialization provides bonuses for self-healing but also useful debuffs for your enemies.
By choosing the perks, your self-healing is significantly improved, and you also deal more damage as you can inflict the Weakness status on enemies. Additionally, your resistances and health points are greatly increased.
With the last perk, you even have a chance to be revived after death.
Weapons, Armor, Mods
This is the equipment you should use: For your weapons, you should focus on guns with large magazines and high fire rates. This makes it easier to maintain your self-healing, and the larger the magazine, the more health is restored when you take out enemies with Pest Bolts.
- Weapon Mods: You have relatively free choice here. Mods like Essence Thief, which further increases your self-healing through damage, are best.
- Armor Mods:
- Critical Analysis
- Pest Bolts increase critical hit damage by 30%.
- Reserve Magazine
- Grants a second Pest Bolt magazine.
- Trick on Deck
- While Pest Bolts are active, each kill grants 30% additional bullets for the magazine.
- Critical Analysis
Trick on Deck is the most important mod here as it allows you to maintain Pest Bolts for a significantly longer time. Ideally, they can even remain active permanently.
For all other mods, you have the freedom to choose based on your preferences.
These Technomancer Skills Fit Best
The build relies on these abilities:
- Pest Bolts (Level 7): The next magazine of your active weapon inflicts poison damage. If you hit an enemy, other nearby enemies are also poisoned.
- Freeze Gun (Level 1): Inflicts damage and can freeze enemies.
- Life Wave (Level 13): This is the only ability in the game that can actively heal you and your party members. Activating it heals each team member for 33% of their maximum health and your Freeze Gun for 50% of its health points.
These abilities are available early in the game and help you until the endgame. How long it takes can be read here: What is the max level in Outriders and how long does it take?
Until you unlock Life Wave, you can also use Tormentors or Weapons of Destruction. These are strong offensive skills that can be used effectively against bosses.
The essential skill of this build is Pest Bolts. Thanks to the armor skill, these are almost permanently active; you just have to make sure to keep killing enough enemies. The poison effect deals additional damage, even over time. Additionally, you will heal yourself this way.
