Signature tool

RIG Riot
Build Planner

Pick how you want to move, fight and survive. The planner returns a coherent archetype from source-backed game systems — not a fake launch-day tier list.

What this does: recommends a direction, not exact best-in-slot parts. Full-game drop tables and live balance are still being verified.

All five launch archetypes

The core data is rendered in HTML so the tool is still useful without JavaScript.

Scout-style

Aerial Range

Stay mobile, create distance, and let precision or ranged shoulder damage do the work.

Precision / sniper roleRanged shoulder or missile pressure
Scrapper-style

Balanced Generalist

Learn the game with enough mobility, durability and weapon freedom to recover from imperfect upgrade rolls.

Automatic / sustained-fire roleMissile or flexible shoulder burst
Knight-style

Close-Range Bruiser

Use durability to stay in the pocket and turn melee/shotgun pressure into a simple, readable win condition.

Laser blade / melee roleShotgun or close burst
Quad-leaning custom RIG

Ground Dash Heavy

Trade some vertical comfort for aggressive ground repositioning and load headroom.

Heavy ranged roleSingle-shot precision or burst shoulder role
Expendable-style

Challenge / Salvage RIG

A deliberately awkward start for players who want to solve weaknesses rather than begin with a clean archetype.

Whatever creates the earliest reliable damage loopA backup role that covers the first one’s weakness

How to use the result

Your result gives you a job, not a shopping list. Keep the engagement range stable, choose weapons that serve it, then use parts and mods to remove the bottleneck. If the RIG cannot reach its preferred range, fix movement. If it reaches the range but dies there, fix durability. If both work, improve damage/synergy.
