MK.4 Defender

I just reached captain level 23 and upgraded my defender to Mk 4. Im always around 1400-1500 infamy and I rarely get kills but usually deal a good amount of damage each game. I have a lvl 20 rare Cannon, lvl 28 uncommon Cannon, lvl 20 rare Big Shield, lvl 20 rare Standard Shield, and a lvl 20 uncommon Big Shield. I don't know if i should change up my set up or use different weapons that are not regular cannons. What do you guys think I should change to get higher infamy and kills? Should i upgrade the bandage and replace a shield? Should I start using the blast cannon or wait until I get a certain weapon?

I will replace The shield health perks with shield defence perks when I get them. The fire damage perk will be replaced when I get another cannon damage perk.

 

Rarely get kills? I get kills quite often on my MK3 defender in 1300-1500 infamy range. I use cannon + sniper cannon as weapons, but with double cannon you have more damage than me. You're not very agile or mobile though, with only shields. Did you consider turbo and/or rudder?

 

I would highly recommend you upgrade your rare snipers to tier 3. You will do much more damage

 

I might use a turbo or rudder but that would be when I'm more advanced and have slots for them. I get about 1 kill every 3 games but deal around 3000-5000 damage a game

 

I use to play with the uncommon sniper but I realized that I could do more dps with regular cannons. Sniper cannons are getting merged so it would deal less damage. I don't like to shoot and wait for a crit to happen even though its great when it does happen.

 

-7.5% isn't much. And when you add perks to get the 25% chance to crit it deals lots of damage. When my training finishes my crit dmg will be 750+ a critical hit

 

Wow that's impressive might give it a try

 

It's a great weapon and so accurate. You will love it if you upgrade it. I was running a tier 1 and it did great. Now my level 25 is op and im still trying to get it to level 30 rare
