Tested between going 2/1 
Soltado picking up 
Temerario and 
Barrage on the way vs heavy blue tree spec.
As of the LVL 60 Patch. We can now run full uptime of 
Bullet-Buddy Deluxe using 
Fiesta with a nigh permament action skill and 
Vitriol / 
First Impression uptime.
So enjoy infinite ammo!
If you want more weapon handling, pull points from 
Deadline and place them into 
Al Centro and 
La Garza.

Weapons
Because of the weapon versatility the door is wide open here, I'll list my favourite.
Crow-Sourced Best in Slot bossing, heaps of damage, further pushed by The Active Fire Firmware. Awkward to time around BBD sometimes though.
Jail-Broken My favourite all round gun for Rafa in mobbing AND bossing. Rolls guaranteed Jakobs ricochet and Daedalus shotgun loader
Swan Song Very high DPS
Brickhouse Fun and nice to use, solid power
Cormano Torgue Impact powerhouse. use with Airburst enhancement.
Darkbeast / 
Flash Cyclone for our explosive SMG of choice.
T.K's Wave Torgue Impact + Airburst enhancement 1 taps mobs.
Boomslang / 
Truck Same as the above
Shalashaska Another gun for Torgue Impact
Jakobs Shotgun Spread launcher paired with AMP is always an easy bossing choice.
Maliwan Shotgun Beam Tosser underbarrel. Can be spammed with Bullet-Buddy Deluxe + 
Metal Management. Bossing.
Complex Root Rolled with Jakobs ricochet and Atlas tracking darts for another Bossing option. Try a very quick follow up shot with 
Devourer.
Golden God Ammo regen can sustain it forever. Get with a Jakobs Licensed part.
Mobbing really is whatever you want. 
Hellwalker, 
Hot Slugger, Kill Drones, etc
Due to Rafa having free bullets, any ammo hungry guns or guns with Daedalus (Underbarrel/Multi-Loader) shotgun work well.

CRIME TIME. Shoot an 
Avarice once, then swap away to any weapon of your choosing for 300% amp to all your shots.
Class mod:
Dancer. Make sure it has Soltado. Then as many points into Temerario as possible. 
The Thrill as the secondary choice.
Shield:
Watts 4 Dinner With Siphon as an allrounder.
Guardian Angel with AMP (or any AMP shield) for 1 shot weapons like Boomslang or Hot Slugger.
Firewerks Mobbing.
Ordnance:
Open slot. Singularity grenades or 
Firepot. 
Slippy if using 
CQC.
Repkit:
Kill Spring for Casual gameplay. Keeps you alive.
Best passive: Accelerator.
Triple Bypass for AS uptime between boss runs.
Best passives: Accelerator. AMP.
War Paint Max DPS.
Best passive: Fire rate.
Enhancement:
You just have to go with what you have here.
Jakob's enhancements usually win out for mobbing when applicable. Ripper Enhancement: "2% damage per shot fire" is one of the biggest DPS boosting Enhancements.
Torgue Airburst for any Torgue weapons.
Passive Priority:
Gun Damage. Weapon Type Damage. Fire Rate. Then the rest: Equip speed, Crit, Splash, etc.

Gameplay
Pop Action skill and spam Bullet-Buddy Deluxe. BBD needs to be active and your magazine to be FULL to make use of Vitriol and First Impression, your biggest damage increases.
The CoV variant can skip the above.
On load in, equip a NON CoV weapon, shoot and reload it to 'prime' Vitriol and First Impression. Then you can swap back to your CoV guns and just shoot them, without needing to spam AS re-triggers.
THOL THE INVINCIBLE
Gun damage Rafa may struggle for damage in this fight. Ensure you kill an add at the start of each phase for Soltado. During Phase 2 THOL take time to kill Ashen Order mobs to limit the amount of healing THOL receives.
Crow-Sourced and ACTIVE FIRE recommend for this fight.
Or spam infinite Spread Launchers with Bullet-Buddy Deluxe and Metal Management combo.
