ARC RAIDERS
NICKMERCS SKILL TREE

Nickmercs - a veteran FPS streamer - runs an almost perfectly even 81p: 27 Mobility, 28 Conditioning, 26 Survival. The skill list is broad rather than deep: rotation, stamina, loot and carry skills all sit at 5 points. It is the definition of a safe copy - no map or squad composition punishes it, and nothing about it requires practice to be useful.

Balanced 81-point creator build with fast movement, strong conditioning core, and stable survival coverage.
