Strengths/Weaknesses

As his name suggests, Reaper excels at killing. His other skills, such as explosives and mechanical, are just barely passible. For such a bad boy, he has pretty low strength but he compensates for that very well with his incredible stealth and weapon abilities.

Tactics

Reaper excels at close-quarters elimination and long-range assassination. High stealth, the chameleon trait, and a silencer make him a silent and deadly assassin. Let the Reaper sneak in and remove any hard-to-acquire targets and clear a path for the squad.

He is also great for an ambush where he can fall back on his assault rifle to take enemies out fast. On the opposite end of the spectrum, his sight and sniper skills will allow him to wipe out enemies from a great distance.

Both of these roles suit him well because his health is relatively low. Try to keep him out of the main line of fire, and let his stealth and long-range precision send the enemies to their graves.

Long-Term Play

Forget about his medical ability. If you want to develop a secondary skill, mechanical or explosives can make sense if you intend to use those abilities to allow him alternative access to his targets.

If he does see a lot of front-line action, consider boosting his health and getting him some decent protection for his torso. The real object with Reaper is to improve his killing efficiency.

Because his stealth is already so high, that means pumping points into dexterity and, to some extent, marksmanship. Whether up close or far away, accuracy and precision kill, so the best bet is to make him even better at what he does so well.
