DescriptionMixing stealth, range, agility, survivability and increased DPM, Beapley with this selection of Modifications not only brings Stealth Radar ability, but also allows for comfortable long range fights and sneaky repositioning. Brawling isn't optimal but helped via the Sponge skill. Private Zone provides an exceptional buff to concealment as well as giving you the "RPF" skill, which pairs very well with the Stealth Radar build. Balanced, but deadly.
