Action Skill:

Peacebreaker Cannons - go action skill. APOPHIS Lance w/ El Soldado is peak bossing but this is just more casual friendly

    • Instinto - allows for easy infinite Action Skill uptime. Go to for mobbing
    • Bullet-Buddy Deluxe - allows you to spam First Impression and Vitriol on full auto guns or just any gun. This is key to fast bossing

Blue Tree:

The Thrill - fire rate = more dps

Las Jaras - ammo regen helps us spam ammo hungry guns more as well as refilling magazine to keep Vitriol up

Al Centro - helps make up for handling lost from Temerario

Metal Management - because we really just use Bullet-Buddy Deluxe for bossing now this isn't really needed but can be nice in some mobbing situations when we are using Instinto instead.

First Impression - this is amp allowing us to get easy 50% mult on full auto guns when paired with Metal Management or Bullet-Buddy Deluxe. This will go away if you consume ammo even if you regen to full mag. You must reload the gun if that's the case. Not make or break if this goes away mid boss fight but it is a decent damage increase. This is a key skill

Brain Dump - more crits = more damage

Jaque - 50% overdrive bonus. Additive with Soltado but mult w/ Dancer

Red Tree:

Shield Barriest - Allows for easy amp shield uptime

Juerga - helps keep up Action Skill w/o kills from Instinto

CYA - these 5 skill points can basically go anywhere but this helps with amp uptime especially if you use Watts 4 Dinner

Vitriol - applies skill damage tag to our shots allowing for stronger shots. Used with Bullet-Buddy Deluxe or Metal Management to easily spam on full auto guns. This will also reproc if you use ammo regen to get back to full mag. Does not need a reload to reactive. Bonus element damage doesn't matter as much so only need the 1 point. This is a key skill

Barrage - a lot of splash guns are used

Devil-May-Care - some health regen for survivability as well as a bit of movement speed

Temerario - a very large amount of gun damage. The handling decrease doesn't matter because Al Centro takes care of it

Soltado - more overdrive bonus. Additive with Jaque but mult w/ Dancer

Guns:

ANY GUN! That's right! Any gun! Experiment and find what works and what you like

Mercurious - damage boost is a pure mult. Because of the large amount of movement speed from Overdrive alone, this gun is very good and is my go to for mobbing. When playing well enough you can usually 1 shot enemies and because of Las Jaras and Shield Barriest we can keep max ammo and shield full most of the time for Vitriol and amp to be applied to every shot with some slower shooting.

    • Torgue (Impact Mag) - great when paired with Airburst enhancement and 3/3 High Caliber
    • Jakobs (Ricochet Accessory) - allows for better mobbing
    • Daedalus (Underbarrel/Multi-Loader) Sniper or Shotgun - great alt option
    • Atlas (Dart Underbarrel) - used for bossing so you can sprint and shoot for the most movement speed without worrying about aiming. May not last the whole fight but will last for a lot of it.

Truck - great for mobbing and breaking vile crystals and ordonite

    • Torgue (Impact Mag) - allows for airburst enhancement use
    • Daedalus (Underbarrel/Multi-Loader) Shotgun is just more pellets for more damage

Bonnie and Clyde - fun gameplay loop. Can pair w/ Daed-dy O

Jakobs Shotgun Spread Launcher - go to underbarrel for bossing. Pair w/ 3/3 High Caliber for the best effectiveness and shoot downwards. Usually at an enemies feet.

Laser Disker - go to tediore for bossing if you don't want to use underbarrels. Pair w/ Grenazerker and Banger enhancement for some amazing damage! Go for high mag size and shooting part.

    • See JoeForLong's Tediore Rafa to get a better understanding on how Tediore chucks work as well as other options if you do not have the DLC for this. We are basically doing some gear swaps to be similar to that but with this current skill tree.

Crow-Sourced - Go to for bossing if you want that standard gun feel

    • pair it with First Impression, Vitriol, Bullet-Buddy Deluxe, and Active Fire for some very respectable bossing damage
    • You will want to at least get Fire Pearl Override for the raid bosses. Otherwise the Mercurious with Atlas (Dart Underbarrel) usually does fine

Darkbeast - great mobbing gun

    • Jakobs (Ricochet Accessory) - required for better mobbing
    • Ripper (Charge Mag) - preference for the activity on if this is good or not
    • Daedalus (Underbarrel/Multi-Loader) Shotgun - can be nice if using Metal Management + Bullet-Buddy Deluxe combo for infinite ammo otherwise you run out really fast

Shalashaska - amazing mobbing gun

    • Torgue (Impact Mag) - allows for airburst enhancement use and just makes it easier to hit enemies
    • Daedalus (Underbarrel/Multi-Loader) Shotgun - more pellets means more ricochets means more kills

Linebacker - great for breaking Bloomreaper crystals

Maliwan Shotgun/Kickballer - w/ Beam Tosser Underbarrel

Torgue AR/Bugbear/Fleabag - w/ Airstrike Underbarrel

Oscar Mike - for the Space Laser underbarrel

Hellwalker

Hot Slugger

Jakobs Shotgun - w/ Daedalus (Underbarrel/Multi-Loader) Sniper at 2 mag for optimal Vitriol uptime

Grenade:

Jakobs Grenade Crit Knife - helps top off crit chance to hit 100%

Sho Kunai - fun for more speeeeeed

Slippy - for proccing CQC

Repkit:

Parts to look for: Accelarator (Adrenalized), Enrage (Experimental), Elemental Affinity (Reactive), Amp (Amplified), Speed (Caffienated)

Triple Bypass - used w/ Now With Caffeine for getting back action skill back fast. Mainly needed when boss farming. If going through mobbing content there are usually other options because your action skill is unlikely to go on cooldown

Kill Spring - allows for really good survivability where there usually isn't much

War Paint - max DPS gotten from this cuz of the fire rate

Class Mod:

Passives to look out for: Action Skill Duration

Dancer - w/ points in Soltado and ideally Temerario

    • Dancer is a pure mult to overdrive bonus
    • Soltado overdrive bonus is additive w/ Jaque.
    • Temerario gives A LOT more gun damage
    • The Thrill can also be nice for more brrrr

Grenazerker - w/ points into Sinergia. Used for Tediore chucks.

Bombastic - for the points into First Impression. 2/1 Metal Management does nothing :( Great for some full auto guns when paired w/ Bullet-Buddy Deluxe. The damage while gliding applies to everything so can be REALLY GOOD if taken advantage of correctly

Shield:

Guardian Angel - w/ Amp. The high recharge rate & delay allows for most shots to be amped even for full auto guns. Use for mobbing and bossing.

Watts 4 Dinner - w/ Amp and/or Siphon. Great for both mobbing and bossing. A better survivability option but less amp shots

Firewerks - amazing choice for mobbing but I usually prefer just going amp for stronger single target kills to go into ricochets.

Enhancement:

Passives to look for: gun damage, gun type damage, fire rate, magazine size

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) and Sequencer (increased damage after critting)

Torgue Enhancement - Head Ringer (increase damage and splash radius) and Airburst (bullets explode in proximity)

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)

Tediore Enhancement - Banger (50% damage boost only additive with Get Throwin). Recycler and Digi-Divider are also nice to add on

2/3 High Caliber - for the On Shot gun damage. More important since we aren't using APOPHIS Lance with El Soldado. Use 3/3 for certain fights and weapons like Torgue

3/3 Deadeye - taken for accuracy cuz my aim sucks sometimes and the soup is nice

2/3 Skillcraft - for the crit chance when taking advantage of Vitriol

3/3 Active Fire - REALLY good when paired with guns like Crow-Sourced

There are a lot of other firmware you can use on this build

Specialization

Specialization 1Now With Caffeine
Specialization 2Bullet Train
Specialization 3Riddle You This
Specialization 4The Best Defense

Now With Caffeine - for getting back our action skill

Bullet Train - more gun damage and we move fast so get plenty from this

Riddle You This - more gun damage!

The Best Defense - a little bit of a damage boost

I Am A Gun - used in bossing w/ Vitriol or in mobbing if still taking advantage of the skill there

A Honed Mind - applies to Vitriol shots

In The Zone - gun and crit damage is nice

CQC - for more fire rate to go more brrrr

One Shot, One Kill - when using single pellet 1 shot guns

Groundbreaker - can be used in bossing for a damage top off


Gameplay

Mobbing:

Activate Peacebreaker Cannons

Shoot gun

Win

Bossing:

Make sure Vitriol is active

Throw Crit Knife if needed

Activate Peacebreaker Cannons

Press action skill button again for Bullet-Buddy Deluxe + Metal Management combo

Spam gun and use action skill again when possible

Tip: try to time your shoots to be going before Bullet-Buddy Deluxe deluxe expires so you can reactivate before consuming ammo to keep up First Impression a lot better

Bloomreaper:

For Crow-Sourced + Linebacker strat

Equip Head Ringer enhancement w/ Airstrike and potentially splash radius. Use siphon parted Watts 4 Dinner

Activate Peacebreaker Cannons and proc Bullet-Buddy Deluxe

Spam Linebacker and reactivate Bullet-Buddy Deluxe until the crystals are all gone

End Peacebreaker Cannons

Swap gear for Crow-Sourced (mainly for enhancement but also Active Fire)

Use Triple Bypass + Now With Caffeine to get back action skill

When Bloomreaper can be damaged, activate Peacebreaker Cannons and then Bullet-Buddy Deluxe.

Shoot Crow-Sourced until the next phase. You may need to reproc Bullet-Buddy Deluxe once or twice if you need to.

Repeat this for the final phase. Your action skill lasts long enough you don't need to end in between.


For Underbarrel strat

Equip Head Ringer enhancement w/ at least AR or Gun Splash Radius. Use amp parted Watts 4 Dinner or Guardian Angel

Use 2 Airstrike Underbarrels

Use Peacebreaker Cannons and amp repkit

Shoot Airstrike Underbarrel to break the crystals

Shoot a 2nd Airstrike Underbarrel to break the orbs

End Peacebreaker Cannons and then use Triple Bypass + Now With Caffeine to get back action skill.

When Bloomreaper can be damage shoot Beam Tosser until boss is dead.

Do this with a 2nd Beam tosser for the final phase.

Subjugator and Thol:

Get at least Crow-Sourced with Fire Override. Ideally you also want Shock and Corrosive for the respective health bars in each phase.

Use Bullet-Buddy Deluxe for Vitriol and First Impression spam

Do this for every phase. Not very complicated
