    Surprised no one has mentioned the turbo+bandage combo. With the nerf to pulse healing a bandage is a solid gap filler. While it doesn't do as good of a job as a pre-nerf pulse, it really does help. Also feelix boosts bandage as well :)

    At the end of the day it all boils down to what the RNG gives you, infamy should average out at some level and you might have to reevaluate your choices to push on higher. But there is nothing to stop you using anything you can fit on your boat. At the moment I seem to be up against a lot of torps and mortars and seem to be doing better with a rudder and turbo than a shield. When your fairly new to the game the RNG pretty much determines what your using until you start getting more duplicates and can pick and choose. It's like the overboost v nitro, I run overboost as it's now tier 3 and if I stuck with nitro it would still be tier 1.

    Another endorsement for shield here as an mk4. I use boxes all the time for self heal, and pulse contributes too. I regularly play mk5s and mk6s and it is quite necessary to stay relevant for me at least.

    I don't play fixer and I don't think I ever will

    But as a shooter/defender/speeder

    I can ensure you that dual turbos is the worst build for a fixer

    People play fixers to fix other ships

    At the speed, at mk4 levels, you are gonna be running at a speed only speeders can keep up

    You'll be charging in the front and the tanks and shooters can neither protect you from fire nor stick close to you to get healed easily

    If you are running a dual turbo, you are making it tougher for yourself to heal better and others to get fixed and making yourself an easy target by going in front of the other ships and nobody can help you

    No matter how fast you run, you can't dodge them all and eventually you'll get nuked

    No matter how high hp you have

    If you have no speed, you'll be a sitting duck

    So get both, but don't overdo it, get enough of both as much as you NEED but NOT more

    Get a rare shield, level it up to 10 and use that instead of the weaker turbo

    OR, you can get a rare bandage and level that up to 10 as well

    In the long run, it may give you more returns than the shield

    Also, for the yellow slots, get nitro instead of overboost, you need speed bursts ONLY to dodge and get you to safety

    Overboost gives you longer spells and most fixers end up going too far away from the rest of the team or they use their overboost early and charge in front.

    Rudder in my opinion is an item for speeder and maybe defender

    Gear lube for shooter and enforcer

    Fixers don't need either so I wouldn't focus on them of I were you

    Turbo + small shield. Side note I'm jealous at all those dupe fixer items...I can't seem to get any.

    Defence perk has less effect the higher up in the league you go
