Major attributes: Skill tier

  • First minor attribute for all: Skill Damage
  • Second minor attribute for all: Skill Haste
  • Mods: Skill Haste > PFE > preference

Note: Refactor will be a bit harder to farm than a traditional highend setup. Refactor drops with mixed skill tier or  armor main cores, depending on the slot.
It is ideal to be at skill tier 6 when using a turret/drone setup, so utilize
Technician class if you are having a hard time getting to 6 skill tier.

Skills: 

  • Assault Turret
  • Striker Drone
  • Sniper/Mortar Turret optional, but not ideal
  • Oxidizer

Note: Any damage skills have potential to work in Refactor, but skills that sustain damage output the longest will perform better overall. There is lots of flexibility with skill builds so experiment and find your perfect fit.
