Weapons
At 24 damage per shot and 400 RPM with a mid-range rating, the Impact HAR hits a damage-per-second sweet spot that lets a support shell threaten engagements without committing to close quarters. Its Light Rounds ammo type is widely available for sustained pressure, and the 18-round magazine gives enough runway to finish a trade before ducking back to reset Med-Drone. A support shell needs a weapon that punishes aggression, not invites it — the HAR's mid-range profile matches Triage's natural stand-off positioning.
The Magnum MC deals 41 damage per shot at 138 RPM with Heavy Rounds and a mid-range profile — a reliable finisher when enemies push past the Impact HAR's comfort zone. Its high per-shot damage means fewer trigger pulls to secure a down, freeing ability cycles for Med-Drone deployment. Heavy Rounds also provide a separate ammo pool, reducing dry-fire risk during extended solo runs.
Shell Cores
No Good Deed (Superior, Tactical)
TACTICAL
You receive a burst of healing when your Med-Drone attaches to a crew member — and critically, in solo play you can attach the drone to yourself. This creates a guaranteed heal-on-demand cycle every time you deploy Med-Drone, making it function as a second self-repair trigger on top of the drone's inherent restoration. This is Triage's core sustain engine in solo context.
Samaritan (Prestige, Passive)
PASSIVE
Sharing a consumable via Shareware.Exe reduces the cooldown of your next Med-Drone. Solo play means self-application of consumables like Patch Kits and Cardio Kicks still triggers Shareware.Exe's 25% sharing effect — and now each of those also shaves Med-Drone cooldown. This compresses the Med-Drone cycle from a long wait into a rhythm, letting you maintain near-constant drone uptime across a run.
Friendly Face (Deluxe, Prime)
PRIME
When your Med-Drone attaches to a crew member — or yourself — it cleanses any active status effects. Triage has no innate status cleanse outside consumables. Solo against environmental hazards, Toxin, and Bleed, this core transforms Med-Drone into a condition cleanse on demand, preventing status effects from stacking into a death spiral and synergising directly with Samaritan's cooldown reduction loop.
Hypocritic Oath (Deluxe, Prime)
PRIME
Damaging a hostile with Reboot+ reduces the cooldown of your next Reboot+. In solo play Reboot+ loses its revive utility but retains its EMP/damage mode for hosile application. Landing EMP damage on AI enemies or Runners compresses the next Reboot+ window, keeping the defibrillator available as a zone-control tool rather than sitting on a long cooldown after use.
Implants
HEAD
Energy Harvesting V4 (Superior)
Firewall: -5, Tactical Recovery: 40%
40% Tactical Recovery directly accelerates Med-Drone recharge — Triage's most critical ability in both solo and squad play. The -5 Firewall penalty is negligible against the cycle-time gain. Faster Med-Drone means more No Good Deed healing procs, more Samaritan cooldown triggers, and more Friendly Face cleanses per run. This is the highest-leverage head implant for an ability-cycle-driven shell.
TORSO
Helping Hands V4 (Superior)
Hardware: 20, Tactical Recovery: 10%, Revive Speed: 50%
Hardware +20 increases damage resistance, compensating for Triage's 120 HP and no-shield baseline. An additional Tactical Recovery 10% stacks on top of Energy Harvesting V4's 40%, further tightening Med-Drone cycles. Revive Speed +50% has obvious squad-play value and is not dead weight in solo — faster Reboot+ execution reduces exposure time during the revival animation.
LEGS
Solid Stance V4 (Superior)
Hardware: 50, Heat Capacity: 20
Hardware +50 is the single largest armor gain available in the legs slot. Triage's 120 HP base and absent shield make this non-negotiable for solo survivability — stacking Hardware from Helping Hands V4 (+20) and Solid Stance V4 (+50) builds a meaningful damage buffer that compensates structurally for the shell's weakest stat. Heat Capacity +20 supports sustained engagement and reduces sprint-heat interactions. The Second Wind passive (move faster and ready weapons more quickly after a Shield Charge) is dormant without a shield slot investment, but the raw stat values justify the pick.
