It wiil take a total of 191 Skill Points to complete the skill tree above. This build revolves around boosting your Lasgun and power pack use. Source of Power, Energy Capsule, Battle Hardened, Conservation of Energy, and Underslung Agility all synergize with your Lasgun by further improving its usability.

Best Weapons
| Type | Weapons |
|---|---|
| Guns | Black Market K-28 Lasgun Regis Drillshot FK7 Regis Disruptor Pistol |
| Melee | Static Needle |
The Black Market K-28 Lasgun is the highest tier lasgun you can get, and is the weapon that can best blast through vehicles, and bases. Your main weapon against enemies would be Regis Drillshot FK7, which is great for dealing with shielded enemies. The Regis Disruptor Pistol is a solid secondary weapon for when you run into issues with your power pack, as it can still easily shred through shields. For your melee weapon, the Static Needle is a great last resort to tamper with enemy power packs while dealing high damage.
Best Armor and Tools
| Type | Equipment |
|---|---|
| Head | Bulwark Helmet |
| Chest | Power Harness |
| Arms | Bulwark Gloves |
| Pants | Bulwark Leggings |
| Feet | Bulwark Boots |
| Shield | Adaptive Holtzman Shield |
| Power Pack |  Power Pack Mk6 Power Pack Mk6 The first generation of power packs were quite unstable and had a unfortunate habit of blowing its user to smithereens. The design has since been improved to ensure this happens quite rarely now.
|
| Belt |  Full Suspensor Belt Full Suspensor Belt Removes gravity’s influence on the user while active, allowing for extending traversal in any vertical direction. Depletes power from a Power Pack when in use. Old Imperial origin.
|
Use Heavy Armor such as the Bulwark Set for most of your armor pieces for its high armor stat and dart damage mitigation when enemies shoot at you. Use a Power Harness for the chest piece to further boost your power pack output. Increasing your power output also boosts your Lasgun use.
How to Play Heavy Trooper
|
|
Prolong Lasgun Use
You can push your Lasgun use to the max by activating skills in the following order:
- Use Energy Capsule just before engaging enemies
- Open fire with your Lasgun as needed
- Keep an eye on your power and use Source of Power to quickly charge back up.
Stand on Your Ornithopter During Aerial Fights
Though very dangerous, it is possible to stand on top of your Ornithopter as you use your Lasgun like a turret during aerial fights. Though this strategy deals damage, it leaves your character extremely vulnerable and requires someone else to pilot the vehicle.
