Build Overview

Any 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.

No crit knife and no groundbreaker needed

All Playstyles with ONE SKILL TREE

SMALL BUT MAJOR AIM ON UPDATE

Strengths And Weaknesses

  • Tons of Gear Flexibility
  • High Damage
  • Easy Survivability
  • Nerfproof
  • Raid boss guns can be a little weapon specific

Build Variants

READ ME: All build variants have the same exact skill tree besides Easier Melee. These are just to organize items and playstyle so it isn't overwhelming. Most Flexibility and Easier Melee will have ALL items listed if you want it in one place.


These builds linked are not my own but made by my VERY SMART friends who helped me improve my build with either additions for them or just helped with testing.

Girthquake's Agent Amon is a Vladof focused Gun Build using high ROF weapons and strong underbarrels.

Nootmad's SAK Amon is similar to my build but with his own style. Being super flexible for any gun available.

They also have even more Amon builds (including more gun builds) so check out their profile for more awesome stuff (but read my stuff first or I will be very sad and disappointed in you)

Action Skill:

Calamity - used for the easy bonus element. The movement speed and shield recharge helps with survivability

Force of Nature - insane for single target. Go to bossing damage dealer. Detonation is a double dip based on the strongest 10 shots that applied Primed. The detonations can also help with bossing.

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.

Red Tree:

Impetus - increased movement speed for Bullet Train & recharge rate for survivability

What Burns Within - increases Onslaughter bonus element

Gut Punch - Damage boost that double dips in Force of Nature detonation

Tritanium Knuckles - Skill damage boosts Berserk bonus element and Force of Nature

Metal Urge - 50% action skill cooldown to cycle Onslaughter

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.

There Is Only Red - Boosts your Berserk bonus element by up to 210% at 5/5. 420% at 10/5.

Rimebreak - Used for the freeze to help aggro relief. So only need 1 point as it's not for damage.

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.

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 - allows for a HUGE damage boost VS flesh enemies for those big shots and a focus to that "deputy" playstyle.

Fists of Stone - Using Slippy you can easily keep up your Forgeskill

Electrical Fire - Mainly for helping keep up Catastrophe but on a DoT focused set up it can be a solid 50% DoT.

Blue Tree:

The Thrill - Easy survivability skill

Equipment

Weapons
Repkits & Ordnance
Utilities

This list is forever growing. Give suggestions in my discord linked to my profile.

The order of guns listed is not by power

Guns:

Standard Gun

Oscar Mike - star of the show 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. Works great in Dragon's Breath version as well

Rooker - the underbarrel is insane for bossing but can be a little janky at times

Maliwan Shotgun - Highest DoT as possible used with Maliwan Primed Potency. Shock as main element (has the highest dot). 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

Wombo Combo - the "underbarrel" explosion is really good

Kaoson - w/ 4% sticky

G.M.R. - w/ Jakobs ricochet part

Stop Gap - go to bosser if Oscar Mike doesn't work out. Can go well for mobbing w/ Jakobs ricochet part

Complex Root - w/ Atlas tracking does weird stuff making it great

Bod - 5x damage go brrrrr. DO NOT use this with Dragon's Breath. It breaks the 5x damage effect.

Fisheye - w/ jakobs ricochet part

Goalkeeper - w/ Jakobs ricochet part

Status Effect

Maliwan Shotgun - Highest DoT as possible used with Maliwan Primed Potency. Shock as main element (has the highest dot). Also pairs well with Dragon's Breath version as long as you have the correct enhancement.

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.

Dragons Breath/Deputy

Hot Slugger

Linebacker - first hit is doing the big damage

Truck - w/ torgue sticky part

Hellwalker

Tediore

Tediores are very easy to use on this set up even if it's not an optimal setup. Check out My Tediore Amon Build for more info and can throw gear from that onto here.

Ordnance:

Slippy - Main Grenade. Used to proc My Touch Is Death and Fists of Stone. Get + 1 charge part.

There used to be more grenade options but without any other easy melee this is the only grenade option. Not a bad thing cuz this is NUTS for utility. See Easier Melee alt spec for more grenade option version.

You can use any good Heavy Ordnance as well. Suggest using a class mod with Tail of the Comet and use a Super Soldier for ammo consumption.

Shield:

Firewerks - Used for mobbing. Really helps with single target focused weapons.

Watts 4 Dinner - Easy shock bonus element. Easy Overshield.

  • Amp - For Dragon's Breath playstyle (up to 150%)
  • Siphon - for survivability

Super Soldier - Good for slower shooting guns for ammo regen + movement speed and fire rate are nice. Get siphon part.

Class Mod:

Passives to look out for: Damage Dealt, Elemental Damage, Elemental Type Damage, Gun Damage

Forge Master for points in Smelter

Furnace for points in Dragon's Breath or Raging Inferno

  • When using Raging Inferno with this build you are using it with Force of Nature as it counts as an action skill so it can proc Raging Inferno if you crit. This will be a TRIPLE DIP deals MILLIONS TO BILLIONS of damage when min maxed. This build is not min maxed for this interaction because it's just overkill. Enemies don't have enough health. You don't really need it for this build but this could allow for weaker guns to be able to boss. Credit for discovery: Girthquake

Shatterwight for points in Berserk

Class Mod w/ Points in Tail of the Comet for Slippy or Heavy Ordnance

Repkit:

Triple Bypass - lots of activations for your passive and forNow With Caffeine which will cycle Calamity

  • AS Cooldown - for even better cycling with Calamity
  • Amp - For bossing and Dragon's Breath playstyle
  • Anything that boost your damage

Enhancement:

Literally anything that helps your damage. Make sure your enhancements have Gun Damage or Gun Type Damage passives as they are a pure mult with most damage boosts (additive with High Caliber Gun Damage)


Firmware

Enhancement FirmwareDeadeye

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 Deadeye - Lots of crit damage. Only boosts weakspot hits and not crit chance hits. Crit chance hits does stack the effect.

3/3 High Caliber 1/3 Airstrike 2/3 Anything - 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.

3/3 Reel Big Fist - Boosts Slippy damage

3/3 Trickshot - could be great for Dragon's Breath style build

2/3 Airstrike - for splash related guns (splash damage is only 10%).

2/3 Bullets to Spare 1/3 Get Throwin - used for Tediore chucks

Anything that increases DPS w/ Reload Speed, Fire Rate, Mag Size, etc

Specializations

Specialization 1Bullet Train
Specialization 2I Am A Gun
Specialization 3Now With Caffeine
Specialization 4Riddle You This

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

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

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

Groundbreaker - ONE PUNCHHHHH. Does weird stuff w/ Berserk for infinite looping. Not my style but go at it.

Contamination - for Status Effect guns that don't benefit from theMaliwan Primed Potency enhancement

Gameplay

Standard Gun

Activate action skill for damage bonus and priming enemies via Force of Nature. Shoot gun. Throw Slippy for stacking kill skills. Activate Stormcutter when available. Use Repkit when needed for healing or cooldown.

Dragon's Breath/Deputy

Activate action skill for damage bonus and priming enemies. Throw Ordnance to activate Dragon's Breath. Use Repkit if using amp part. Make sure Shield Amp is active if using. Shoot gun. Activate Stormcutter when available.

Status Effect

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 - aim downwards at boss and line up shot to hit the boss twice from your projectile and then when it splashes on the ground. Activate your amp from your repkit. If enemy is Flesh then take advantage of Dragon's Breath

Big Bossing

Oscar Mike - Throw Slippy for stacking kill skills and activating Dragon's Breath. Use Repkit for Amp. Make sure shield is full for Amp. Activate Onslaughter. Charge and shoot Space Laser on the enemy. Once at 10 Primed Stacks activate Stormcutter for Force of Nature detonation. If using Forge Master then active Stormcutter beforehand to activate Berserk. Then use 2nd Stormcutter for detonation. If your build is strong enough you can use a Furnace for more Dragon's Breath points and ignore the Force of Nature detonations and just melt the boss before you even need it.

Stop Gap - Throw Slippy for stacking kill skills. Activate Onslaughter. Shoot the crit spot and stack Force of Nature. One at 10 Primed Stacks activate Stormcutter for detonation. Same thing as above if using Forge Master

I also go into gameplay at the end of my video that is linked to this guide.

Notes

There is A LOT being done in this build write up and can be confusing. For any questions feel free to join my discord and ask away. Also curious for peoples opinions on separating each playstyle into alt specs to make it look more clean and less overwhelming.
