Build Overview

Cycle huge 1 shot potential in TRUE UVH 6 with Jakobs snipers and other hard hitting weapons thanks to Rafa's Vitriol skill, skill damage synergies, and ammo regeneration.

Strengths And Weaknesses

  • Fastest mob clear in the game without homing weapons
  • Very satisfying to play
  • Vile enemies melt like butter
  • Easy to farm
  • Limited bossing options, resorting to more generic methods

The SYNERGY:

Vitriol turns your shot into Skill damage, gaining all the bonuses along with it. However ammo MUST be consumed for the skill to trigger, so no Bullet-Buddy Deluxe.

Normally we would spam reload speed bonuses and shoot reload repeat. However, by gaining enough AMMO REGEN, can can regen this shot, taking us back to a full mag, refreshing Vitriol, far faster than reloading.

Final 3 points in Vitriol can go to La Garza for extra handling to use APOPHIS Lance with greater comfort, providing more damage from El Soldado. Downside of Lance however is lower duration and it's lost on FFYL. So user choice there, I prefer just going Peacebreaker Cannons.

GUNS

Mobbing:

Truck - Torgue mag + High damage roll makes this the best in slot weapon for this build. Will 1-2 shot most mobs, with high powered ricochets.

Boomslang - Truck RNG sucks, Boomslang is far easier having a lower stat spread and guaranteed Torgue mag. Slightly lower peak than Truck but far more realistic to farm.

Bossing:

While it is possible to use the above on Bosses, snipers in general will offer a slower ttk, esp on TRUE mode.

Bod - Sticky Rounds, using any Ammo swap, SMG being best in slot.

T.K's Wave - Sticky Rounds, Atlas underbarrel a personal preference.

For Stickies, use 1 or 2 procs of Instinto for Metal Management. Any boss should die to this.

Then ofc Underbarrels, Spread Launcher, Beam Tosser, Sticky Shrapnel Cannon. Usual suspects.

SHIELD

Highest AMP shield you can find, ideally on Guardian Angel. Preferred on TRUE UVH.

Firewerks AMP sucks to farm, on scaled (normal, non TRUE) we have enough damage to drop AMP and go for the Mobbing power Firewerks, Again easy to farm.

CLASS MOD

Dancer - Always Dancer. Temerario points preferred. Gun damage, Gun / Skill crit chance, Crit Damage. Any solid passive is fine.

ORDNANCE

Free slot, Just go Crit Knife if you have one.

ENHANCEMENT [IMPORTANT]

For the easiest use and fastest clear, the Torgue Airburst enhancement is why we want Torgue so much. You don't need to be accurate, just toss rounds around without a care.

If you're an absolute insane gamer you can ofc go with the classic Bounce Pass Jakobs enhancement, but you need to hit your shots, better for slower playstyles

Passive bonus Magazine Size can be very useful, as higher mag size = faster ammo regen = more fire rate.

REPKIT

Triple Bypass for Now With Caffeine spam. AMP roll to open the fight to get an easier proc of Soltado

Firmware

Repkit & Ordnance

Enhancement FirmwareSkillcraft

Skillcraft is a no brainer, skill crit chance applies to our guns thanks to Vitriol. And pushes us closer to that 100%. Then Skill damage from Tier 1 and 3 is solid damage,

High Caliber provides and ON-SHOT damage bonus, a multiplier to our ON HIT bonuses we have 100s of. Also Tier 3 is 1 slot away for Spread Launcher fun.

Specialization

Specialization 1I Am A Gun
Specialization 2A Honed Mind
Specialization 3Riddle You This
Specialization 4Now With Caffeine

I Am A Gun and A Honed Mind are the primary benfits of the entire build premise, so get these ASAP.

Now With Caffeine is along the way and will be giving use full AS Uptime.

Riddle You This is 50% gun damage, which provides a further 25% skill damage too. 75% damage from a single Specialisation just caps it off nicely.

Gameplay

Gameplay loop: Activate AMP, start your action, then focus a weak mob to trigger kill skills. From here you should be able to start your 1 shot spree, PACE YOUR SHOTS as you need to let your mag regen to full to gain the Vitriol bonus. So get into the rhythym, and remember magazine size boosts ARE your fire rate boosts.

Daedalus shotgun underbarrel is a fun damage up, however no consuming 2 ammo per shot means it takes twice as long to regen back up to full.

BOSSING:

While you can use the normal gameplay loop in boss fights, you may find it is sometimes slow, or low on damage. Snipers unfortunately don't have alot of bossing DPS, so here you can swap to standard bossing methods, with Beam tosser spam and metal management. Or Torgue stickies.
