Build around a clear job

Treat the listed powers and perks as components with conditions, rather than a guarantee that every effect is active together.

GetCheatBeacon's practical checklist for The Nurse:

  • What is the setup trying to improve: information, chase, recovery or objective pressure?
  • Can the listed activation condition occur in the situation you are planning for?
  • Which weakness remains after choosing the first effect?
  • Check current perk text before spending unlock resources; test the complete loadout rather than judging one isolated effect.
