Build Overview

This all round build is designed so you can use whatever weapon you want and deal great damage with it. The choice is yours when it comes to what you bring to the fight, this build will raise its power to the maximum! Whether mobbing or bossing you will be UNSTOPPABLE.

We use the Peacebreaker Cannons to support the carnage grabbing Instinto for the chance at crit and the ability to extend our actions skill uptime whenever we kill an enemy perfectly coupling with Juerga.

Extending action skill uptime is critical for this build as we'll be using the Dancer class mod which increases our overdrive bonuses (of which there are a lot) by 100% and getting one with a point in Soltado is a must, adding another 100% on top of that. Temerario and The Thrill are what you should looks for in the remaining slots.

While Overdrive is active we get massive bonuses to all of these skills:

Barrage
Temerario
Las Jaras
The Thrill
El Soldado
Brain Dump
Deadline

Because we have points in First Impression and Vitriol - COV Weapons are amazing because they receive the bonuses every shot!

You can also receive the same effect with enough ammo regen on a gun with a large enough mag.

We are at our strongest in this build 10 seconds into Overdrive where Temerario is all stacked up and we are at full health to get the bonus from El Valiente.

We gain ammo regen with Las Jaras perfect for extending the life of each magazine and Metal Management gives us free ammo for 2 seconds whenever we activate or re-activate our Peacebreaker Cannons.

Instinto and Juerga are critical for extending Overdrive duration.

Bullet-Buddy Deluxe is perfect while bossing to maximize the effectiveness of First Impression and Vitriol

Soltado & Jaque increase the effectiveness of all our Overdrive bonuses.

We are better with splash damage weapons thanks to Barrage so look for those Torgue Licensed Impact Mags.

Al Centro can be incredibly important in this build to offset the negative Gun Handling of Temerario which is more noticeable with 10/5. It takes a little bit to balance out but since it doesn't cap you're accuracy will be INSANE when Overdrive has lasted long enough.

Equipment

Weapons

Repkit & Ordnance

Utilities

This build doesn't paint you into a corner so the items here are pretty generalized so they will apply to all weapons.

Shield

Watts 4 Dinner is a great shield providing bonus Shock Damage when we have overshield. Siphon Tolling is the perfect part to grant us overshield automatically. AMP Synergized is also good for maximizing damage.

Firewerks is another great shield, especially while mobbing

Guardian Angel with AMP Synergized provides the best amp shot chaining.

Ordnance

We use the Crit Knife found on purple (or higher rarity) Jakobs Grenade's. This increases our critical hit chance offering more DPS.

Bismuth-Tipped Dagger's are also a great option from Story Pack 1.

Firepot can also serve well, stacking up skills & dealing damage.

Repkit

Triple Bypass is ideal while mobbing to get our action skill back instantly thanks to Now With Caffeine.

War Paint is another good option to increase our DPS

Any Order Repkit with good rolls will work too

Enhancement

The ideal rolls for our enhancements in this build to cover all weapons are:

Gun Damage
Gun Splash Damage
Gun Critical Hit Damage
Gun Magazine Size

You can get more damage from your enhancement by looking for weapon type rolls such as Shotgun Damage etc.

To get the most out of this build you'll want to look for a Jakobs Enhancement a Torgue Enhancement a Ripper Enhancement or a COV Enhancement which are parts most prevalent on our best rolled gear.

Good Legendary Enhancements for this build:

Quintain
Multistrike
Entropic
Devourer
Pumper
Hero of Bullet
Quicksilver

With the bonuses from Brain Dump and it's ability to offset the negative accuracy from Temerario, Deadeye is perfect.

Can also run High Caliber Airstrike or Bullets to Spare depending on your preference.

Skillcraft also benefits us through Vitriol.

Gameplay

This build can play in a number of different ways, it's designed so you can do what you like and not worry about whether you are going to deal enough damage. In saying that, splash damage weapons will perform better than their non-splash counterparts.

General Play

You can use any weapon in this build, especially while mobbing. The key is to continue killing things so you can keep those Overdrive bonuses intact & if the boss arena has adds, kill one to proc Soltado.

COV rolls make our weapons better but that isn't a hard stop for this build.

Suggested Weapons

One Shots

Use an Order Repkit with an Amp passive & ideally Damage Dealt or Overshield to proc the Watts 4 Dinner
Use any shield with amp parts (3 is best).
Watts 4 Dinner provides bonus shock damage for maximum one shot potential
Guardian Angel chains amp shots much faster & is the better alternative is one shot won't do it

Suggested Weapons

Beam Tosser (found on Maliwan Shotgun's)
Spread Launcher (found on Jakobs Shotgun's)
Oscar Mike
