Overview
This build was created by Vegas. To find it in game, search for "Vegas Gun Build Mobalytics" (BuildID: 142847)
Viscous has a powerful gun that can excel when fire rate is stacked, this build looks to stack movespeed and fire rate items, when combined with veil walker and vamp burst we can become a very strong mid game assassin
Early Game
Buy High-Velocity Mag and Ammo Scavenger first to farm efficiently and begin stacking stacks from Ammo Scavenger passive to give us some strong poke in lane without wasting money on unnecessary items and saving our income for our core build.
After, buy Headshot Booster. This will give us some solid damage, pair this with Mystic Burst for stronger poke and kill pressure in lane.
If the lane is very scrappy feel free to pick up a healing right or a restorative shot to regain some needed HP.
I like to choose between Extra Health or Enduring Spirit. If you intend on buying Slowing Hex to counter specific heroes on the enemy team or in your lane pick up Enduring Spirit. If not, Extra Health is a better option
You can then pick up Sprint Boots and Extra Stamina to speed up our roaming and jungle clear and eventually upgrade to Enduring Speed, but this isn't necessary yet
Mid Game
Next you pick up Combat Barrier and Swift Striker. The newly buffed Combat Barrier provides us with fire rate and Swift Striker gives us another 22%, this is only 2500 gold and will drastically improve our dps and jungle clear.
After is Quicksilver Reload and Fleetfoot. This will solve our ammo issue and increase the damage output from our 1 at the same time, drastically improving our kill potential and optimizing our jungle clear.
Look to save up for Burst Fire and Bullet Resist Shredder. Our build revolves around fire rate, our base damage is very lacking and enemies with armor would otherwise survive our burst. Burst Fire and Bullet Resist Shredder can solve this issue.
After you can look to upgrade Headshot Booster to Headhunter and pick up Toxic Bullets or Hunter's Aura with our flex slot, depending on the enemy teams armor/healing capabilities.
If you need anti heal sooner than this look to pick up Decay or Healbane depending on the situation. I don't usually need do this but it can be a good band aid fix for the early mid game.
Late Game
Depending on our tempo we can look to upgrade to buy Veil Walker and eventually Vampiric Burst. Combining these will give us very high kill and pick potential.
This will essentially activate our kit as a true assassin and give us the opportunity to roam around map utilizing veils to stay undetected into the enemy backline and explode with an insane burst of fire rate, duration extender and eventually superior duration just increases the time of the buffs provided.
Next up we will pick between Crippling Headshot or Lucky Shot if the enemy is building to counter us and stacking armor- Crippling Headshot will be needed. If not opt for Lucky Shot as this item will provide a large DPS upgrade against squishier targets.
Situational Items
If the enemy team has characters such as Shiv or Abrams who are vulnerable to anti heal, purchasing Decay can be very impactful.
If you are running into ammo problems or playing against high CC comps Reactive Barrier gives us a big boost in ammo and some survivability.
If the enemy team has a very strong Vindicta or Yamato and the game is very long I like to buy Curse.
