Build Overview

This build is focused on doing the highest damage possible while still being an effective mobbing build. Using Stack Overflow and High Data Rate you can deal some insane damage. Even just using Stack Overflow (which most people are just using) can be fine on it's own for some bosses

You can throw in some Groundbreaker but it is not at all needed

Strengths And Weaknesses

  • Highest Damage for Loveless
  • Easy Bossing
  • Solid Mobbing
  • Mayhem 20 Viable
  • Locked to Snipers
  • Gear restrictive in other parts too

Action Skill:

RAM - important to note that this is On Shot gun damage aka additive with enhancement type gun damage. Making it really nice to have

Visual Paradox Nexus - this action skill is basically just used to get Stack Overflow however...

    • Grants 25% Skill Tree Crit while VPN is Active.
    • Grants 50% All Damage Soup while in Stealth.
    • The first shot upon entering Stealth will have +200% Gear Crit (or 100% Skill Tree Crit, needs checking).
    • Subsequent shots (after the first) in or out of Stealth will only have the 25% Skill Tree Crit instead (or 50% Gear Crit, needs checking).

Stack Overflow - this is a double dip. It takes the 3 shots after entering stealth as it's base damage. Then it goes through the basic damage formula including melee and action skill

    • Does not get consumed if the Function misses/doesn’t hit any enemy.
    • Damage to Store is checked ON HIT, meaning it is relatively anti-synergistic with multiple pellets and source-adopting Bonus Elements, although there’s nuance to the use cases with different weapons..
      • UI Icon is super buggy and can just disappear even though you’re still stacking it.
    • Kusarigama Function: Is Action Skill; Is Melee Damage. Can build up Groundbreaker.
    • Kusarigama Function: Is not Player Melee Attack (doesn’t deliver GB).

accelerat.exe - this is a really nice damage boost that is easy to keep up and/or cycle

Blue Tree:

Disdain - nice crit damage

Odium - combined with Disdain to use w/ Stack Overflow and Groundbreaker this gets a HUGE damage boost as the formula is kinda weird

(Crit damage given by Disdain  {before 2x}) x [({Points into Odium} x 1.5) + 2]

Death Begets Death - allows for easy AS uptime

Ratio Technique - nice melee and gun crit

    • don't know if it's just melee attack crit or actually all melee crit. Don't trust GBX w/ wording and it hasn't been tested and I am too lazy to do it

notarget - used for the extended stealth for more damage

Footwork - really just for some nice movement speed so only take 1 point

Methodical - with slow firing weapons you can get A LOT of soup - (“up to” value) / (Fire rate)

Infinite Murder Hack - allows for keeping up ammo so you reload less

Refactored Damage Formula - this is a pure mult. At 1/1 it is 10% mult. At 2/1 it is a 120% mult

Killing Machine - mainly for cycling accelerat.exe

Green Tree:

High Data Rate - insane double dipping status effect that you can proc off of Stack Overflow. To use this effectively you need to make sure your next damage instance after using Empowered Melee is Stack Overflow this is a key skill

    • DoT damage is equal to 300% of damage dealt per second
    • The DoT lasts 12.5s
    • Only needs 1 point
    • Can create Cryo DoTs
    • Any elemental instance will consume the auto dot

Established Gameplay Loop - some nice soup

Nootropic Energy Drink - more nice soup

Cat 5 - even more nice soup

System Restore - solid survivability for healing and easy overshield uptime

Wide Net - the splash radius is REALLY nice once you get used to it

Red Tree:

Corrupted Path - some nice soup for Stack Overflow

Finisher - this gets up to 150% Gun Damage which is insane.

    • only have your function to keep this up
    • not going to active effectively in bossing
    • amazing in mobbing and easy to keep up with kills once it's at max stacks


ALT POINTS

You can take the points in Red Tree and some in Blue/Green to go elsewhere.

You can go more Green for When it Rains and Memory Leak for good soup and crit chance from stacking contagion via Viral Payload

There is also Merry Bandwidth which allows for easier uptime on accelerat.exe

Equipment

Weapons
Repkit & Ordnance
Utilities

Guns:

Truck - go to for mobbing

    • Torgue (Impact Mag) + Daedalus (Underbarrel/Multi-Loader) Shotgun is the best combo
    • Combine with Pumper for some great stuff
    • Shotgun Mode will mean it consumes more stacks of Stack Overflow but it's just really nice for mobbing. Especially in the takedown.

Solar Temper - go to for bossing. high damage in single shot.

    • pair with Enhancement Fire Rate for more charge speed (why is it enhancement only idk)

Ordnance:

Jakobs Grenade Crit Knife - yep the classic crit knife. never goes wrong

Waterfall - w/ the Lingering augment allows for good application of ordnance if you use Viral Payload as mentioned in alt skill specs

Shield:

Guardian Angel - Use w/ 150% amp. best amp uptime shield

Watts 4 Dinner - Use w/ 150% amp. The bonus element allows for double procs for Finisher and Infinite Murder Hack

Class Mod:

Passives to look out for: Gun Crit Chance or Skill Crit Chance

Montage Maker - used mainly for the skill points. This class mod actually bugs out VPN sometimes

    • +1 Refactored Damage Formula is a must have.
    • Then either +5 into Infinite Murder Hack or Methodical depending on if you want more ammo restore or damage

Repkit:

Triple Bypass - used for getting back action skill fast w/ Now With Caffeine

    • can use either Amp or Action Skill Cooldown

Enhancement:

Max damage is going to be using Gun Damage and Sniper Damage but you can also go other QoL stuff

Pumper - mainly for airburst but headringer is also extremely good. Allows for much better mobbing

Evolver - mainly for power shot but muzzle brake is also really nice. Used for bossing

    • can use Gun/Sniper Fire Rate for passives to speed up charging the gun
