OnslaughterAny good gun*
Multi Purpose Standard Gun Build for 
Amon
Status Effects, Standard Gun, "Deputy" w/ 
Dragon's Breath, and more!
Do it all Gun build for your everyday Gun Amon needs.
All Playstyles with ONE SKILL TREE
This is also now AMON'S STRONGEST BUILD in raw bossing. Heavy Ordnance still wins in mobbing and now has pretty strong bossing because of the 
Draupner.
READ ME: Aim On, Standard Gun, Status Effects, "Deputy" Style and Tediore have the same exact skill tree. These are just to organize items and playstyle so it isn't overwhelming.
The other build variants are different "do it all" skill tree specs which may focus a little bit more on one thing than the other
This includes EVERYTHING that the other playstyle variants show. This is also usually the most up to date version
ONLY THIS SKILL TREE AND INFO IS UP TO DATE AS OF LVL 70 UPDATE
Calamity - used for the easy bonus element. The movement speed and shield recharge helps with survivability
Force of Nature - Double dipping explosion based on the last 10 STRONGEST hits IF that hit applied a prime stack. MUST HAVE FOR BOSSING. You will notice the explosion itself may not get the kill on non flesh bars but it builds up 
Groundbreaker which will get the finishing blow
Pyroclast - Go to for mobbing to extend duration. Not as good for splash guns as you have to be close for this but if a 
Firewerks projectile gets a kill while you are close to the enemy then you get AS duration returned.
Stormcutter - proc detonations, extend AS duration, and give AS and Ordnance Cooldown. A lot easier to apply Forge skill damage for detonations compared to base Molten Slam.
Hoarcleave - great if you need to freeze badasses to throw 
Slippy for great damage. I like this a lot for Ordonite Processors.
Impetus - increased movement speed for 
Bullet Train & recharge rate for survivability
What Burns Within - increases Onslaughter & Dragon's Breath
Gut Punch - Damage boost that double dips in Force of Nature detonation and Groundbreaker
Tritanium Knuckles - Skill damage boosts 
Berserk bonus element and Force of Nature. Both bonuses boost Groundbreaker
Bullet Storm - gun damage that goes into 
I Am A Gun
Forged In Steel - Immunity to damage which helps survivability. Not a focus for survivability just kind of nice. And we spam our 
Forgeskill pretty often.
Bloodlust - gain some lifesteal and reload speed which is nice but really to get down the tree for capstone
Berserk - Cryo bonus element for your guns and melee. Mainly here for the guns. Does not apply to Force of Nature nor DoTs. This will apply to (but never stack) Groundbreaker This is a key skill
There Is Only Red - Boosts your Berserk bonus element by up to 210% at 5/5. 420% at 10/5. This is a key skill
My Touch Is Death - activates your kill skills. Procced by Slippy. Mainly helps with There Is Only Red. Some class mod choices can get good kill skill skills. This is a key skill
Catastrophe - increased crit chance and crit damage for your guns and whatever else crits from crit chance. Easy to keep up with Onslaughter bonus element and 
Electrical Fire
Dragon's Breath - going only 1/5 for the skill damage conversion to our gun shots for bossing. Can get more points for the amp boost but in bossing we already have 350% so getting 80% isn't as important. This is a key skill
Fists of Stone - Using Slippy you can easily keep up your Forgeskill. This is a key skill
Electrical Fire - Mainly for helping keep up Catastrophe but on a DoT focused set up it can be a solid 50% DoT. Important skill for DoT Focus
Executioner - more crit damage
Gathering Storm - easy to keep up bc of My Touch Is Death
Vital Organs - crit chance is amazing for all the crit damage we have as well as more procs of jakobs ricochet when it is applicable
Tempered Pyre, 
Twin Tempers, 
Tempered Ice, 
Tempered Lightning - all used for proccing Fists of Stone and My Touch Is Death without needing to hit enemies with Slippy.
Raging Inferno - This is a double dipping status effect that can proc off of Force of Nature for a triple dip allowing for amazing alternative bossing option instead of Berserk + Groundbreaker. This is a key skill
Reactive Armor - used for keeping up amp shields and ordnance uptime when paired with 
Damned for easy detonations.
Blast Furnace - solid damage boost that applies to everything
Gathering Storm and 
Get The Lead Out can also be replaced for any of the other three top skills
This list is forever growing. Give suggestions in my discord linked to my profile.
The order of guns listed is not by power
Oscar Mike - My favorite for bossing. Using the Space Laser underbarrel w/ big shot skills/mechanics. I've seen up to 24k base damage. Used 14k and 20k and both did great. I'm not saying it's the best bossing weapon but it's consistently powerful which is great. Not as good for enemies that constantly move Works great in Dragon's Breath version as well
Lockjaw - get with Jakobs (Ricochet Accessory) for INSANE mobbing. Get insane amount of ricochets from the effect and jakobs part.
Kickballer - w/ Jakobs (Ricochet Accessory) for INSANE mobbing. Can be risky as it can blow you up. Need to time Forged In Steel uptime and placement when shooting.
Rooker - the underbarrel is VERY GOOD for mobbing. Not as good for mobbing after the jakobs extra projectile fix for the gun. Get 2 or 3 of these and you can cycle it easily while still spamming a bunch of them. Or just use 1 or 2 and be fine. Works great in Dragon's Breath version as well
Jakobs Shotgun w/ Spread Launcher - probably the best underbarrel for 1 shotting bosses. Use 3/3 
High Caliber so that the bullets can hit twice when angled correctly. Ending w/ 10 Primed Stacks.
Kickballer or Maliwan Shotgun w/ Beam Tosser - also amazing for bossing. Can get up to 20k on a purple. All elements are good. Works great in Dragon's Breath version as well
Potato Thrower IV or 
Torgue AR w/ Airstrike - not to be confused with 
Airstrike. Used for the Vile crystal phases in Bloomreaper but also does well in bossing. Works great in Dragon's Breath version as well
Order AR or 
Goalkeeper w/ Kill Drone - might be one of the fastest clearing guns in the game when paired w/ Firewerks. Kills enemies on their own. Can get up to 4k base damage on a purple. I think I have seen 3k on a Goalkeeper. Get 4 Kill Drone guns and just cycle them. Works great in Dragon's Breath version as well
Shalashaska - the ricochets allow for supreme mobbing
Pumper for easier hits & ricochets hitting the ground and hitting the enemy again
Stray - homing projectiles make it amazing for mobbing. Paired w/ 
Primal Surge it's even better
Wombo Combo - the "underbarrel" explosion is really good for mobbing
G.M.R. - w/ Jakobs ricochet part
Stop Gap - amazing for mobbing. a little clunky to use at first but it deletes stuff Personal Favorite
Complex Root - w/ Atlas & Jakobs parts do weird stuff making it great for bossing
Fisheye - w/ jakobs ricochet part. Amazing for mobbing Personal Favorite
Goalkeeper - w/ Jakobs ricochet part
Maliwan Shotgun Stellium w/ Energy Disc - Highest DoT as possible used with 
Maliwan Primed Potency. Get w/ Jakobs part ideally. Shock for general use and Corrosive for certain corrosive bosses. Not as strong as a fully focused DoT Amon build but still very good. Also great for mobbing w/ the base shot ignoring the underbarrel. The underbarrel is still nice for badasses. For more gun DoT options and explanation check out Girthquake's DoT Shot Amon Build. You can easily incorporate more DoT stuff into this build ENERGY DISC IS CURRENTLY BUGGED AND DOES NOT APPLY STATUS EFFECTS. DEVS ARE AWARE. KEEPING THIS HERE UNTIL FIXED
Beam Tosser - with energy disc underbarrel not working with dots we now use Beam Tosser. This used to not apply dots but it can with enough status chance. Stack as much chance as possible.
Linebacker - first hit is doing the big damage
Truck - w/ torgue impact & Daedalus Shotgun
Boomslang w/ Daedalus Shotgun
Laser Disker - highest hitting damage tediore. Shooting & high mag
Inscriber - w/ Shooting part and high mag.
Murmur - w/ shooting part and high mag.
Ruby's Grasp - w/ High Mag
Chuck - w Replicator Homing
Tediores are very easy to use on this set up even if it's not an optimal skill tree. Check out My Dedicated Tediore Amon Build for more info and can throw gear from that onto here.
Slippy - Main Grenade. Used to proc My Touch Is Death and Fists of Stone. Get + 1 charge part.
Jakobs Grenade Crit Knife - used for Raging Inferno and Gun Status Effects
Firewerks - Used for mobbing. Really helps with single target focused weapons. Gets Berserk bonus element
Watts 4 Dinner - Easy shock bonus element. Easy Overshield.
Dragon's Breath playstyle (up to 150%)
Guardian Angel - used w/ Triple Amp for the fastest recharge rate and delay on an Amp shield, Also good for bossing.
Super Soldier - Good for slower shooting guns for ammo regen + movement speed and fire rate are nice. Get siphon part.
Protean Cell - bonus element that applies to EVERYTHING including Status Effects making it the best for bossing w/ Status Effects.
Passives to look out for: Skill Damage & Skill Crit Chance
Lamplighter - go to for mobbing. Easy uptime on Action Skill. We used to just go 
Shatterwight but player damage has increased high enough that a more damage focused Class Mod isn't needed so we have better QoL. Some weapons work better than others so combining it w/ Pyroclast and Stormcutter can still be a great choice
Damned - go to for Takedown Mobbing. Allows for easy detonations of Force of Nature to then proc Raging Inferno which leads to lots of kills. Get points in Fists of Stone and Executioner.
Shatterwight for points in Berserk - Go to for bossing. 420% cryo bonus element w/ instant access to cryo damage from static roll to boost it even more already. This is a very important class mod
Furnace for points in Raging Inferno - Alternative go to for bossing. Allows for a stronger Triple Dip.
Torchbearer - w/ points in 
Wield the Storm. Go to for Status Effects
Cyborg - w/ points in Primal Surge to prevent reloading. Especially good for Sticky guns. It takes from reserves so it is NOT infinite ammo.
Stormcaller - w/ points into 
Bolt Action or 
Lightning Rod. Not the best but not the worst. Works w/ Status Effects and guns. Especially "Deputy" Style. Bolt Action is consistent damage while Lightning Rod is for flashy 1 shots.
Triple Bypass - lots of activations for your passive and for
Now With Caffeine which will cycle Calamity
CalamityDragon's Breath playstylePassives to look for: gun damage and gun type damage
You are basically using any good enhancement that synergizes w/ your guns. I will list a couple I know work great
Jakobs Enhancement - Bounce Pass (extra ricochet), Piercer (20% crit chance), and Sequencer (increased damage after critting)
Torgue Enhancement - Head Ringer (increase damage and splash radius) and Air Burst (projectiles explode when in proximity of enemy)
Ripper Enhancement - High Roller (increased damage on consecutive hits) and Short Circuit (chance to increase fire rate after reload)
Vladof Enhancement - Bullet Hose (chance for extra projectile) and Box Magazine (increased fire rate and mag size)
Order Enhancement - Power Shot (increased damage on full charge)
Atlas Enhancement - Trauma Bond (increased damage w/ Target Lock) and Protractor (chance to not consume ammo)
Maliwan Enhancement - Primed Potency (100% status chance after reload) and Transfuser (spread dots after kill) This is only for Status Effect part. Primed potency is a MUST HAVE
Tediore Enhancement - Banger (50% increased damage to reload), Digi-Divider (chance to throw another projectile on reload), and Recycler (restore 50% of mag size on reload) This is only for Tediore Chuck part. Banger is the go to for bossing but others are nice for mobbing
2/3 High Caliber - The Gun Damage is additive with Enhancement passive gun damage and mult with the general damage boosts. Always take.
High Caliber is the only MUST HAVE firmware. Everything else is situational
3/3 
Skillcraft - skill damage and crit chance applies to Berserk, Force of Nature and Groundbreaker making it HUGE for boosting damage. This is a very important firmware for standard gun amon
3/3 
Deadeye - Lots of crit damage. Only boosts weakspot hits and not crit chance hits. Crit chance hits does stack the effect.
3/3 
Daed-dy O - used for Dots. This applies to DoTs which means works w/ Energy Discs. Start on main firing mode then swap to Energy Disc before shooting to benefit from this bonus. Also good for gun 1 shots if Skillcraft is not available
3/3 High Caliber 1/3 Airstrike 1/3 Anything - For Status effects for non Energy Disc shots from the Stellium. The pierce from High Caliber allows you to apply multiple DOTs to enemies by hitting them with both the pass through AND the explosion on the ground. Combine this with the Stellium and Maliwan Primed Potency for some MEGA DOTS. Airstrike w/ at least 1/3 for splash radius to help the ground explosion hit the enemy again.
2/3 
Bullets to Spare 1/3 
Get Throwin - used for Tediore chucks. Get Throwin applies to Tediore chucks and a pure mult only additive w/ Banger enhancement
Anything that increases DPS w/ Reload Speed, Fire Rate, Mag Size, etc
Now With Caffeine - reduces your action skill cooldown by 1/4 NOT ACTION SKILL COOLDOWN RATE
I Am A Gun - applies to Force of Nature, Berserk, and Dragon's Breath, Onslaughter bonus element, and Groundbreaker
Bullet Train - used to buff guns and put into I Am A Gun
Riddle You This - used to buff guns and put into I Am A Gun. Not as good if you aren't applying gun damage quickly.
Bossing:
Groundbreaker - this is going to be huge for some bosses where you can't get the kill from just the gun and Force of Nature. Groundbreaker gets Berserk as well which helps damage a lot. Groundbreaker will take in the millions of damage from your gun and millions of damage from force of nature then go through the melee formula. Swap w/ Now With Caffeine for this. You can also use this in mobbing where I would prob swap Riddle You This. This is not used for status effects since they don't stack Groundbreaker
Other Options:
Overkill - for Dragon's Breath style build
The Best Defense - bonus double dips into Force of Nature
CQC - some nice fire rate
One Shot, One Kill - for Dragon's Breath style build
Contamination - for Status Effect guns that don't benefit from the Maliwan Primed Potency enhancement or when using Primal Surge
For Status Effects - Now With Caffeine, Bullet Train, The Best Defense. Then anything else.
Activate action skill for damage bonus. Use Stormcutter for starting Berserk. Throw Slippy for kill skills and Fists of Stone. Shoot gun. Activate Stormcutter when available. Use Repkit when needed for healing or cooldown. Reload your gun occasionally for Bolt Action if your gun allows for that easily
Activate action skill for damage bonus. Use Stormcutter for starting Berserk. Throw Slippy to activate Dragon's Breath and kill skills. Use Repkit if using amp part. Make sure Shield Amp is active if using. Shoot gun. Activate Stormcutter when available.
Berserk
Activate Repkit for Amp. Activate Onslaughter for bonus element. Use Stormcutter to activate Berserk. Throw Slippy to activate Dragon's Breath and proc kill skills via My Touch Is Death as well as Fists of Stone for getting back Stormcutter. Make sure Amp Shield is full. Shoot gun. Activate Stormcutter on boss for Force of Nature once at 10 Primed Stacks. If the boss isn't dead then punch w/ Onslaughter for Groundbreaker.
Raging Inferno
Activate Repkit for Amp. Activate Onslaughter for bonus element. Throw Crit Knife for crit chance. Shoot gun. Activate Forgeskill on enemy. Keep throwing Crit Knife for crit chance on Raging Inferno. Can punch w/ Onslaughter for Groundbreaker if you don't have enough damage
Make sure your gun is fully reloaded for the effect of Maliwan Primed Potency. Shoot gun. Reload. Shoot gun. Reload. Yes it's that simple. Can do similar to above playstyle and take advantage of Amp. Or just use other things for survivability or clear speed. Use Repkit to get Onslaughter back faster or for healing. Throw Slippy when needed to activate kill skills and Fists of Stone.
Bossing - Make sure Primed Potency is active. Keep on Primary mode. Use Repkit for Amp. Slam for Protean Cell. Activate Stormcutter for Forged In Steel to help protect you. Then swap to Underbarrel for Daed-dy O. Shoot. Then throw Crit Knife AFTER SHOOTING. This is to prevent Dragon's Breath converting shot to fire. You can throw BEFORE if going against a Flesh Boss.
Activate Onslaughter. Use Stormcutter for Berserk. Throw Slippy for kill skills and Fists of Stone. Get chuckin.
Bossing - Activate Onslaughter for bonus element. Use Stormcutter for Berserk. Throw Slippy for kill skills and Fists of Stone for getting back Stormcutter. Either Slam for Protean Cell or make sure you have Overshield for Watts 4 Dinner bonus element. Get chuckin. Activate Stormcutter on boss for Force of Nature once at 10 Primed Stacks. If the boss isn't dead then punch w/ Onslaughter for Groundbreaker
Gear used: 2 Airstrike Underbarrel Torgue AR, 2 Fire Beam Tosser Maliwan Shotgun, Amp Triple Bypass, Triple Amp Watts 4 Dinner, +1 Charge Slippy, Shatterwight w/ +5 Berserk, Head Ringer Torgue Enhancement w/ Assault Rifle Splash Radius, Normal Firmware & Specialization
First use Amp on Repkit.
When Bloomreaper starts spawning activate Stormcutter for Berserk and throw Slippy where the vile crystals will spawn to stack There Is Only Red as well as give you Dragon's Breath. DO NOT ACTIVATE YOUR ACTION SKILL UNTIL TOLD SO
When the crystals spawn or right before they spawn shoot Airstrike Underbarrel on the left or right of the boss NOT IN THE CENTER. There is a bug where it will hit on the top of the boss and not touch the ground. Experience will get you used to the sweet spot. After crystals explode shoot your 2nd Airstrike Underbarrel at the floating orbs same as last time on the left or right.
Bloomreaper will now start going into its next phase. While this is happening work on throwing Slippy at enemies for Fists of Stone and There Is Only Red so Stormcutter is ready to get Berserk back up and have high stacks of There Is Only Red for the bonus element. Also make sure your Amp from repkit and shield is ready
Stand on one of the higher platforms and hope Bloomreaper jumps to you and also doesn't do a second jump. If he goes somewhere else or second jump then follow after him. You will be fine you have time.
Activate Onslaughter and shoot your first Beam Tosser 3 times and angle it upwards or downwards depending where you are on the boss. If this doesn't take it to the next phase then activate Stormcutter again to proc Force of Nature or use Onslaughter punch if Stormcutter isn't available. If you still aren't at the next phase then you can use Onslaughter punch again to proc Groundbreaker based off of Force of Nature. If you used Onslaughter punch for Force of Nature activation then you also procced Groundbreaker for your first Beamtosser shots.
While waiting for the final phase make sure to keep throwing Slippy at enemies for keeping up There Is Only Red and Berserk just like last time. Also use Repkit again for Amp.
Once Bloomreaper is on its final phase you will shoot your second Beam Tosser 3 times to kill the boss. It should be dead but if not then you can slam the ground next to the boss and proc Groundbreaker. It is very unlikely that Onslaughter will still be active for the final phase to use Force of Nature and/or ranged Groundbreaker.
