WEAPONS
Main Weapons
Maliwan Shotgun
Beam Tosser Underbarrels, covering all elemental bases: Fire, Corrosive, Radiation/Shock.
- The
Kickballer,
Reminisce and
Discy Business are farmable options that can drop with Beam Tosser, but they don't peak as high as a Torgue-licensed Purple. They are good temporary choices until you find Purples.
These are essential for both mobbing and bossing damage.
- When mobbing, holding a Beam Tosser will provide a lot of additional damage to our Artillery + Ricochet
Waterfall grenades through
Toile/Mixologist. The Transfuser effect will transfer Gun Card Statuses to other enemies when any kill happens, through any methods. - When bossing, the Beam Tosser itself can be shot to inflict very high damage Status Effects on the enemy, which can then be detonated through
Devourer.
Stealth & Seek
Katagawa's Revenge
While not as good for the grenades specifically as holding a Beam Tosser, these options have the benefit of you being able to shoot them.
Their projectiles will be an extremely effective source of
Bash Script triggers and chaining, alongside
Groundbreaker buildup. All this while you still throw grenades as usual.
- On
Stealth & Seek, look for Daedalus (Underbarrel/Multi-Loader) SMG Mode or Shotgun Mode. - On
Katagawa's Revenge, use Shock Mode and look for Jakobs (Ricochet Accessory).
Devourer
Absurd bossing weapon for the setup. The Status Effect Detonation has an incredibly powerful formula, making it excellent when paired with Beam Tossers.
- Ideally, cover each elemental base: Fire, Corrosive, Radiation/Shock.
Maliwan SMG
Honeymooner
Railgun Underbarrels. Useful tools, but not mandatory.
- Can be used with a Primed Potency
Maliwan Enhancement for a guaranteed Status application.
Linebacker
Mainly a tool for breaking Bloomreaper Crystals, in case you want to fight that boss. Also a pretty decent weapon for the setup.
- Pair with a Head Ringer
Torgue Enhancement for the increased Splash Radius.
Other Weapons / Fun Options
REPKIT
Font of Life,
War Paint and
Order Repkit.
Look for these effects:
- Elemental Affinity (Reactive)
- Go Go Gadget (Nootropic)
- Amp (Amplified)
ORDNANCE
Waterfall
Radiation, Corrosive and Fire are the most relevant elements to have variants of on your
Waterfall grenades.
- Artillery + Ricochet + Exacting/Nuke/Express
- The Ricochets are considered Gun Damage and will therefore benefit from Mixologist.
CLASS MOD
Stat Rolls to look for on any Class Mod:
- Ordnance Cooldown Rate
- Elemental Damage
- Skill Crit Chance
- Ordnance Critical Hit Chance
Puppetmaster
Enables Symbiosis usage on
Visual Paradox Nexus, which grants access to
Corrupted Path for new source of Mixologist and
Bash Script triggers.
- +3
Merry Bandwidth; + 4
Overclock or
Critically Acclaimed
Hoarder,
Plague Engineer and Researcher
Bossing alternatives, good for encounters where you can't really spawn any Clones to make use of Symbiosis.
SHIELD
Watts 4 Dinner
- Siphon. The Bonus Shock Damage counts as a new instance for Mixologist and
Bash Script triggers.- Amp is also a valid choice for bossing.
Guardian Angel
- Amp. Great choice for bossing.
Honey Badger
- x2 Turtle. Excellent defensive choice that helps you survive barrels and other dangers.
ENHANCEMENT
Stat Rolls to look out for on any Enhancement:
- Gun Damage
- Shotgun Damage / Gun Type Damage
- These boosts apply to the Mixologist Damage riding on our Gun Damage instances.
- Gun Equip Speed
- Gun Status Chance
- Shotgun / Gun Type Status Chance
Toile
Maliwan Enhancement
- Overall best choice for the build, providing two desirable effects for interactions with
Bash Script, Statuses and the Artillery + Ricochet Grenades.- An Epic Rarity Mixologist
Maliwan Enhancement is also fine if you don't have a good
Toile.
Pumper | Head Ringer
Torgue Enhancement
- Great choices for Torgue or Torgue-licensed weapons.
Quintain |
Blind Box | Bounce Pass
Jakobs Enhancement
- Good choices for anything Jakobs or Jakobs-licensed.
