The invisible marksman, legal wall hack, one shot many kills - Cyte-09!

Passive: Gains Practiced Aim when he kills an enemy by damaging their Weak Points, increasing his Critical Chance against weak points by 1% up to a maximum of 300%, lasting for the entirety of a mission.
Seek - Plant an antenna that projects a forward wave scan. Detected enemies take increased Weak Point Damage, and become visible through walls. Weapons gain Punch through.
Resupply - Throw two Elemental Ammo Packs that instantly refill the active weapon’s magazine, while granting the weapon an additional instance of the selected Elemental Damage and Status Effect. Reload clears the effect. Sniper Rifles gain extra damage.
Evade - Jump backwards and become invisible for a short duration. Killing enemies on their Weak Points extends the duration and heals Cyte-09.
Neutralize - Summon the Neutralizer, Cyte-09’s exalted Sniper Rifle. Bullets ricochet off Weak Points to seek out other nearby Weak Points. Alt fire lobs a Cold grenade that completely freezes enemies.

    I admit, I haven’t gotten Cyte-09 myself as all my rep is going straight into rank-ups right now but I’ve seen others play him and the guy looks like a powerhouse. His Exalted sniper rifle addresses the biggest issue that weapon type has - multi target viability. Shoot one guy, kill 4 others! Ressuply is just plain insane, even without using his 4 this ability is just crazy. Guaranteed status procs of whatever type you want on every shot! Heat is the obvious choice but Blast and Gas can be extremely effective at clearing crowds as well. Need to srtipo some armor? Corrosive is right there! Could use some CC to make landing those precision shots easier? Cold! This frame could have this one ability alone and he would still be one of the best gun frames available! Evade gives you near permanent invisibility as long as you play the frame the way he’s supposed to be played. The CD looks bad but it starts ticking when you activate the ability, get enough precision kills and build enough duration and you can stay invisible all the time. Seek synergies with the rest of his kit perfectly, wall hacks and weak spot highlights make getting those precision kills a breeze without even needing to move from your sniping spot of choice. All in all, an amazing if maybe a bit solo-focused frame. I imagine making his whole kit work in a team might prove difficult, unless you forgo the 4 entirely and just run-and-gun with Ressuply and any accurate crit focused gun.
