Complete Triage Shell Support Guide: S-Tier Squad Sustain Mastery

TriageSupport is Marathon's dedicated support shell — and the difference between squad wipes and consistent extractions. With 130 HP, 40 shield, and medium speed, Triage trades personal combat power for unmatched team utility. Your Reboot active heals nearby squadmates. Your Field Medic passive makes you the fastest reviver in the game. Your Shareware.exe trait spreads medical consumables across your crew.

This is not a solo shell. Triage in solo queue earns a D-tier ranking for good reason. But in coordinated squads? S-tier. Squads with Triage extract more consistently than any other composition.

Your Reboot active emits a healing pulse that restores HP to nearby squadmates. The range is generous — roughly 10 meters — and the heal is immediate. Use it when your squad takes burst damage or before pushing contested areas. The cooldown means timing matters. Don't waste it on chip damage.

Field Medic makes you the squad's anchor. Faster revive speed means you can pull teammates up mid-fight. Revived allies recover with more HP, making them immediately combat-effective instead of one-shot vulnerable.

Shareware.exe spreads medical consumable benefits to crew members with your Med-Drone attached. Find a health stim? Your entire crew benefits. This trait transforms individual loot into squad resources.

No Good Deed (Superior) gives you a healing burst when your Med-Drone attaches to crew members. This core essentially gives you two healing sources — your active ability and your drone attachment. Priority pickup for aggressive squads.

Samaritan (Prestige) reduces Med-Drone cooldown when you share consumables through Shareware.exe. The synergy is obvious — find more medical supplies, reduce your tactical cooldown, heal more often. Requires faction progression planning.

High Voltage (Enhanced) reduces Battery Overcharge cooldown when you eliminate EMP-affected hostiles. Situational but powerful when facing shell compositions that rely on electronic abilities.

Triage works best at medium range where you can support teammates without exposing yourself to close-range duels. The M77 Assault RifleAR (16 damage, 450 RPM) offers reliable mid-range performance with manageable recoil. Pair it with the ◈Precision GripGrip MODSuperior mod for improved ADS stability.

The Hardline PRPrecision Rifle (23 damage, 275 RPM) excels for longer sightlines. Its precision rifle classification rewards accurate shots with high damage per round. Add the ◈Reflex SightOptic MODEnhanced for faster target acquisition.

For secondary weapons, the CE Tactical SidearmPistol (20 damage, 300 RPM) provides solid close-range backup when enemies push your position.

Triage enables aggressive shells to play their roles fully. DestroyerCombat benefits enormously from Triage support — the tank can push aggressively knowing quick revives and heals are available. VandalCombat gains similar value, using vertical mobility to make plays while Triage covers mistakes.

ReconIntel pairs well for information-focused squads. While Recon spots threats, Triage keeps the squad healthy for rotations and engagements. The combination creates squad awareness and sustainability.

Avoid double-support compositions. Two Triages provide redundant healing while sacrificing combat power. One support shell per squad is the optimal ratio.

Your positioning determines squad survival. Stay far enough back to avoid initial burst damage but close enough for Reboot range. Use cover aggressively — you cannot support if you're eliminated.

Watch for flanks constantly. Enemy squads target Triage first because eliminating support collapses squad sustainability. Communicate positioning with your crew and retreat when pressured.

During extractions, position near the extraction point but not directly on it. You want healing range for teammates securing the site while maintaining escape routes if third parties arrive.

Triage transforms squad fights through healing and fast revives — master positioning to stay alive while supporting aggressive teammates. Prioritize No Good Deed core for double healing sources and build around medium-range weapons that keep you safe while providing squad value. Never queue Triage solo — this shell requires coordinated squadmates to reach its S-tier potential.
