Skill tree on insane

Gears Tactics
#1

hey guys I’m attempting the insane levels now and I’m wondering what the best build for Gabe will be, I barely was able to beat the final boss last time and wonder if insane mode if I will stand a chance at all if I don’t have the best skill tree for my main characters.

so what did you do for gabe’s skill tree? I feel on insane healing won’t do much of anything at all and I should go toward the paragon tree…but maybe in the final boss if I make him a surgeon all that faraway healing will actually be helpful?

what are your best builds for insane mode guys?

#2

The best skill tree is bring a friend, you can upgrade it to bring 2 friends to play on casual while you use the robot on insane.

#3

talking gears tactics my dude

#4

Oh yeah it doesn’t filter it :man_shrugging:t2:Is there not enough OP guides yet on trueachievements etc 0.o

#5

i found guides but none of them mention insane mode builds

#6

I always empower/teamwork sniper buy try to clean up easy/downed targets with Gabe when possible.

Edit: build was no good on insane

are these the skills you used??? but I’m playing on insane, where there are no downs you just outright die, reviving teammates isn’t an option for me :confused:

#8

Pretty sure he meant cleaning up downed Locust with Gabe so they don’t get revived(although so far that is behavior not very commonly exhibited by the enemy AI, often they ignore downs to shoot or move around your units).

#9

Encourage (passive when you revive a downed unit) is useless in insane because you do not have downed state.

@RandmPigGrenade, as you guessed, Paragon is probably one of the best tree to support your team mate on Insane. Level 5 build


After that I will probably try to get the bottom/right “Surge”.

With your onw taste, at level 7 I would suggest something like this:

Combat medic is probable the worst path to take on insane.

yeah I was think of taking him this route, it looked the best on insane…though the support class on insane doesn’t seem too reliable as a whole

#11

When it comes to Insane, a scout built around grenades is the S+ God Tier must have. Second to them though is a support built to buff your scout through the roof, and finish off stragglers with chainsaw kills.

shoot ive been sending specter down the recon route to cover ground so I could get more stash crates maybe I should have gone for the demo route instead :scream:

#13

Explosives build for the Scout in Tactics is extremely useful. Gone for it pretty much every time on my existing playthroughs(was going through Experienced, not done with that yet), especially good for laying mines everywhere and closing emergence holes. The Gnasher also isn’t that bad but I wouldn’t go charging in at every opportunity. Especially if the units that create poison clouds on death(or Tickers and Wretches) are around.
