Triage Shell C.A.R.R.I. Squad Build: Post-WSTR Nerf Team Support Meta

With the WSTR Combat ShotgunShotgun receiving a critical damage nerf that prevents two-shot eliminations against blue shields or above, the meta has shifted dramatically toward sustained engagements and team coordination. The new CyberAcme Runner Reinforcement Initiative (C.A.R.R.I.) protocol rewards crews for completing objectives together, making the TriageSupport shell's squad support capabilities more valuable than ever. This build maximizes team sustainability and objective completion rates in the post-WSTR landscape.

The foundation centers on the **Conquest LMGLMG with ◈Pinpoint BarrelBarrel MODSuperior (requires Arachne Rank 12 — 1500 credits + 5 Biomata Resin), ◈Oracle LensOptic MODSuperior optic, and ◈Feather MagMagazine MODSuperior for sustained fire support. The Conquest's 540 RPM and 36-round magazine provide excellent suppression capabilities while the Oracle Lens delivers +40% ADS speed and accuracy improvements. The Samaritan** core (Prestige, requires faction unlock) reduces Med-Drone cooldown when sharing consumables through Shareware.exe, creating a powerful healing loop that keeps squads operational during extended objective phases.

The **Helping Hands V4TorsoSuperior torso implant (Superior) provides +20 Hardware, +10% Tactical Recovery, and +50% Revive Speed — essential stats for a squad medic. ◇Energy Harvesting V4HeadSuperior head implant offers +40% Tactical Recovery, ensuring Med-Drone availability during critical moments. ◇Solid Stance V4LegsSuperior** leg implants deliver +50 Hardware and +20 Heat Capacity, providing the durability needed for frontline medical support. This configuration requires significant faction investment but delivers unmatched team utility.

The C.A.R.R.I. system rewards coordinated objective completion and crew extraction, making Triage's support abilities exponentially more valuable. The No Good Deed core grants healing bursts when Med-Drone attaches to crew members, creating a positive feedback loop during objective phases. Combined with **◈Background ProcessChip MODEnhanced** chip mod for passive shield regeneration, this build ensures the entire squad maintains peak combat effectiveness throughout extended engagements.

In the post-WSTR meta, Triage jumps from D-tier solo to S-tier squad play. The shotgun nerf means engagements last longer, making sustained healing crucial for squad survival. C.A.R.R.I. rewards directly favor support shells that enable successful crew extractions. This build targets Copper to Platinum Holotag tiers where coordinated play becomes essential. The Conquest LMG provides excellent mid-range suppression that prevents enemy pushes while your squad completes objectives.

Total investment includes Arachne Rank 12 for Pinpoint Barrel (1500 credits + 5 Biomata Resin), plus standard implant progression through multiple factions. Nucaloric offers crucial FIELD_MEDIC.EXE at Rank 30 (5000 credits + 3 Hazard Capsules + 8 Enzyme Replicators) for faster consumable usage. Sekiguchi TAC_AMP.EXE at Rank 14 (2000 credits + 8 Paradox Circuits + 30 Storage Drives) provides +30 Tactical Recovery, reducing Med-Drone cooldown significantly.

Win condition: Enable squad objective completion through sustained healing and suppression fire while leveraging C.A.R.R.I. rewards for maximum crew extraction rates.
