The Best Items & Gear for C4SH

Hot Slugger

Excellent synergy with Ante Up: the weapon works both as an excellent gun choice for Gun builds and as a stat stick for Action Skill builds.

It is also perfect for Fortune buildup and manualWindfall activation through its frequent reloads, due to Insurance, Late Scratch and other effects.

Hellwalker / Balor / Dullahan

Fast 1-shot reload means quick Windfall attempts for builds that may want it. They are also respectable guns on their own rights.

COV (Unlimited Mag) Weapons

• Lockjaw, Darkbeast, Flash Cyclone, Swan Song, Complex Root and Kickballer are a few good examples that can roll COV.

These get pretty much full boost from Ante Up at all times, making them decent weapon choices and stat sticks for Action Skill builds.

Stray, Lockjaw and similar

Convergence, Acey May and similar

• Weapons with high hit rate and/or multiple projectiles + instances of damage

Excellent for War Wagon + From Gloam Till Glow builds.

Spread Launcher Jakobs Shotgun

Beam Tosser Maliwan Shotgun

Big Rocket Vladof Sniper

• + Pretty much any of the other decent-to-strong underbarrel options in the game are worth trying.

Absurd damage and one-shot potential of anything, especially on Ante Up builds.

Gamer

Excellent applicability for both Gun & Action Skill builds. Bleed grants a way to funnel Skill Damage overload into a Skill Damage Status Effect, granting high value to I Am A Gun.

Tender Hearts; Trick Shot

Windrider

Great damage booster, good at both mobbing and bossing. Dusty Trail allows you to lose fortune stacks by sliding even during Windfall, enabling relevant skills like From Gloam Till Glow and potentially making it easier to build up others like Hot Streak and Let It Ride.

From Gloam Till Glow;Dusty Trail;Dealer's Bluff

Ludopath

Good applicability for both Gun & Action Skill builds due to rolling Ante Up.

Great synergy with Groundbreaker due to the sheer amount of damage that can be funneled into Bear Arms and I Am A Gun.

Ante Up.

Trainer

Perfect for Cleromancy builds, especially ones that have Ante Up or are looking to sustain Angry Totems for a long time.

The Wilds is a very powerful Global Bonus Element, meaning it applies itself even to skills like Groundbreaker.

The Wilds; Dealer's Bluff; Charm Bracelet.

Hotshot

Particularly powerful for Elemental DOT setups.

Bloodstained Moon; Hot Hand; Tender Hearts.

Prestidigitator

Very fun to learn and setup. It doesn't exactly beat the overall strongest choices, but offers high rewards and a fun loop.

Bloodstained Moon; Tender Hearts.

Whale

Not exactly a standout, but its effect is fun.

Payout; Turn of Fate

Gambler

Very high utility due to rolling Can't Stop Winning, enabling easier Windfall triggers for just about any build.

Can't Stop Winning (at least 1 point is all that really matters).

Triggerbot

Powerful skills for Gun/DOT setups.

Vigorish; O Fortuna.

Pistoleer

Powerful skills for Cross-Fire

Brimstone;A Blur of Fingers and Brass.

Hopscotch and Little Sister

With x2 Turtle Chitinous, both of these are excellent defensive shields when using From Gloam Till Glow or Action Skill builds that just care about defense on their shields.

Little Sister can also be used with different rolls if one wishes, like Boxer Jabbing and Positive Reinforcement Enouraging.

Watts 4 Dinner

With Siphon + Amp, or just Siphon or just Amp.

The Bonus Shock Damage plays well with Alchemy for stacking Fortune. It also has high Groundbreaker synergy.

A pure Amp roll can still make use of the Bonus Shock through Overshield generated by skills like Take the Pot and Turn of Fate.

Guardian Angel

With Amp. Quick refills means respectable Amp uptime, and it has lifesaver effect in case you end up downed. Great on Ante Up gun builds with Hot Slugger.

High synergy with Insurance.

Firewerks

Very effective for general mobbing.

Onion, Cindershelly, Pandoran Momento and similar

Additional survivability-focused options. The Energy Shields can still roll Amp/Siphon along with their legendary effects.

Triple Bypass

Three Charges and chances to refill on kill means good healing and excellent utility.

Order Repkit

Two Effects + Charges means a lot of flexibility for different setups.

Kill Spring

Great if you wish for more sustain, or to regenerate your shields to make use of specific effects.

War Paint

Excellent DPS boost.

Waterfall or Epic Rarity Non-Cryo Elemental Grenades

With the Lingering, Alchemic and Overflow rolls, they are excellent tools for Fortune stacking through the Alchemy skill.

With Artillery/Lingering, Ricochet/Alchemic and Exacting instead, they are excellent for stacking effects like Prestidigitator and Bloodstained Moon while still maintaining good synergy with Alchemy.

Countermeasure

High hit rate and has gun damage built into it, can be useful for stacking particular effects like Bloodstained Moon and Riddle You This on singular targets, and also benefits from skills such as From Gloam Till Glow and Ante Up.

• Divider + Repeater + Nuke / Overflow / Exacting
• Divider + Long Division + Nuke / Overflow / Exacting
• Can also roll combinations of the Artillery/Lingering, Ricochet/Alchemic and Exacting/Overcharge effects.

Crit Knife Jakobs Grenade

The usual, famous Crit Knife always has some utility on just about every setup.

Slippy

Useful for triggering CQC on relevant builds that may want it.

• The Bonus Fire Damage from the Mighty Nine Tough Totem also lets your gunshots proc CQC.

Heavy Ordnances

• Heimdahl, Flak Cannon and Atling Gun are some examples.

High hit rate Heavies can be excellent for War Wagon builds, especially when using From Gloam Till Glow with Nothing Beats Lead and elemental versions of the weapons.

High damage heavies can be excellent when sustaining Cleromancy Angry Totems.

Accelerator Daedalus Enhancement

Perfect for many Daedalus or Daedalus-licensed weapons when using From Gloam Till Glow.

Short Circuit Ripper Enhancement

+ Any Fire Rate-boosting Enhancement effects/stat rolls

Can be 'fished' for and used as a stat stick for Hot Hand on DOT builds.

Also great for From Gloam Till Glow builds.

Bullet Hose Vladof Enhancement

This effect is essentially a Pure Multiplier to single-pellet Vladof Guns and has good synergy with builds that want as many hits per second as possible.
