Core Skill Chain

Gunner Drone is confirmed as an Engineer skill and requires Master Mechanic, Turret Mastery, and Arrow Turret.

Older guide text gives a possible final point plan, but this partial preset only marks the confirmed current builder unlock chain.

Skill and attribute points are intentionally left unallocated; this is not a full Season 9 endgame recommendation.

FAQ

When do Gunner Drones unlock?+

Check the in-game Marksman skill tree for your version. This S9 archive does not confirm a current unlock level.

What DPS can I expect without Angelic weapons?+

This archive has no measured DPS results for a budget or endgame setup, so it gives no damage or survivability estimate.

Are there alternative Marksman builds?+

Multishot and Frag are other Marksman build options. This S9 reference does not establish a current ranking between them.

Is this a complete setup for beginners?+

No. The equipment and relic entries are broad historical labels, not a complete loadout. Check your version's skill requirements and item effects before using them.
