Abilities
Drone/Hive
Skill-wise, you've got two options. You can either pick the Defender Drone or Reviver Hive, this will mainly depend on which one you find more useful for the content you're doing. For example, in case you're playing in a group then pick the Defender Drone as it's going to be more useful than the Reviver Hive. In case you're doing missions alone, take the Reviver Hive as it's one of the best skills in the game for solo players.
Chem Launcher
The Chem Launcher can be seen on 90% of current builds. Why? Because it's ridiculously strong, the Armor regeneration on the Reinforcer variant is just nuts. Multiple charges on a low cooldown, drop them at your feet which will allow you to fire away without dying instantly.
