Use Peacebreaker Cannons with Instafort Battle System to gain Ordnance Damage with your Peacebreakers and to toss a copy of your grenade. For MOST bosses this works great for damage. See the Gameplay section for more.

Equipment

Weapons

Repkit & Ordnance

Utilities

Firepot for Bossing. Countermeasure or Heimdahl Launcher for Mobbing.

For mobbing you can also switch your Specialization from Bullet Train to Now with Caffeine to get action skill back faster.

I also recommend that when Mobbing you swap your action skill augment to be Bullet Buddy Deluxe if using the Heimdahl. Lots of extra Heimdahl fun that way.

Class mod: Grenazerker with 3 in Sinergia, 3 in Confetti and 1 in Arriba. Look for Assault Rifle Damage or Gun Damage rolls.

Collector shield for great survivability. Honey Badger isn't strong enough to withstand the Laser Disker chucking. Neither is Collector, but at least it will withstand most everything else. Watts 4 Dinner can be used, but you want the SIPHON double roll to maintain uptime.

Enhancement is Banger and Recycler with Gun Damage and Gun Mag size rolls. Aka God Roll. This is sadly pretty much necessary for Thol and Subby.

Daed-dy O and Bullets to Spare give nice mag size boosts to your Tediores for bonus damage. I recommend swapping off of those rolls for General Mobbing though, as you won't need to use as much ammo vs mobs. So for mobbing go with 3 in Get Throwin and 2 in Gadget Ahoy. This will give you MASSIVE mobbing potential with the Heimdahl launcher or just by using a Countermeasure Grenade (Vault Card item) with Lingering and dividing if possible. The idea is you want grenades that will help you wipe mobs. Firepot is a boss destroyer, but not the best overall mobbing option.

Full Spectrum Arsenal is AMAZING for Firepot/Countermeasure/Heimdahl Damage. Other skills are just to boost damage.

Gameplay

Gameplay loop is different for bossing and mobbing.

Bossing: Pop Action skill and toss down Instafort Battle System, throw all the Firepots. Give them a moment to track and stick to the boss. Then start chucking Laser Diskers in the matching element that the boss is weak to. The SHOOTING variant is the strongest option for bossing. But get homing replicators for bonus mobbing effectiveness.

Mobbing: Stick to the Ruby and Chuck for most situations. Badasses and Ordenite/Crystal enemies can be crushed by a couple of Laser Disker tosses. Make sure to keep a second set of gear for firmware swapping for mobbing. It NEEDS less ammo per throw. Don't be afraid to Heimdahl the entire screen while Bullet Buddy Deluxing. Have fun.
