REBOOT ABILITY FUNDAMENTALS
Triage's Reboot ability operates on a 25-second cooldown and restores 75 HP to all nearby squadmates within a 15-meter radius. The key to mastery is positioning — you need line of sight to teammates but cover from enemies. Use Reboot after your squad takes initial damage but before anyone drops below 50 HP. This timing prevents panic revives while maximizing the healing value.
FIELD MEDIC PASSIVE OPTIMIZATION
Your Field Medic passive reduces revive time by 40% and revived allies return with 60 HP instead of the standard 40. This makes you the designated reviver in ranked squad play. Always position yourself as the last line of defense — if you're down, your squad loses their sustain anchor. Priority revive order: Destroyer first (they force Holotag drops), then Recon (intel prevents ambushes), then other DPS shells.
SHAREWARE.EXE MEDICAL SYNERGY
The Shareware.exe trait shares medical consumable effects between crew members with Med-Drone attachments. This transforms single-use items into squad-wide buffs. When you consume a Stim Pack (+25 HP over 10 seconds), all attached squadmates receive the same benefit. Coordinate Med-Drone attachments before extract phases — three attached squadmates means one Stim Pack becomes 100 HP of squad healing.
RANKED EXTRACTION TIMING
In ranked mode, Triage enables aggressive Holotag collection because you can sustain through prolonged firefights. Your squad can push contested extracts that other compositions must avoid. Use Reboot during the extract countdown when enemies are forced to push your position. The 15-meter radius covers most extract zones, letting you heal while maintaining defensive positioning.
WEAPON PAIRING RECOMMENDATIONS
Triage works best with mid-range weapons that keep you in healing range but out of immediate danger. The M77 Assault Rifle with Precision Barrel provides reliable damage at 16 per shot while maintaining accuracy for supporting fire. Alternatively, the Hardline PR with Scout Scope gives you 23 damage precision shots to finish enemies your squadmates have damaged.
Remember: your job isn't to frag out — it's to keep your squad healthy enough to secure Holotags and extract successfully.
