- Weapons and Powers
- Eviscerator
- Opportunist will count SPECIAL REV attacks as stagger, giving you a way to deal with carapace armor consistently (crushers especially)
- Heavy > Light > (Light > Push Attack loop) your way to victory in crowds. Reset to L > L starter from neutral for popping headshots on flak or to rip into that one special unit in the mix. Rev attack to taste on maniacs and the like.
- Toughness regen for horde clearing will let you toughness-gate exceptionally well while mopping mobs.
- Opportunist will count SPECIAL REV attacks as stagger, giving you a way to deal with carapace armor consistently (crushers especially)
- Mk VII Shotgun
- Always keep this thing reloaded in your downtime, and racked with a slug. You do thousands of damage with a well placed headshot. Like, seriously this thing is a hip-fire sniper.
- Use to stagger with a slug, proc-ing Full-Bore, then mop up with No Respite stagger damage on things that wont die after the prior step
- React to dodging elite units with a crit weakspot hit and weave melee with shotgun as you please
- Stunstorm Grenade
- When you need to make space in bleak moments AND multitask while doing it (i.e. pick up team or kill for free)
- Chorus with Holy Cause
- Proactively buff you and your teammates during tough moments (like waves of ragers or for DR against monstrosities)
- Reactive use in order to make space and save people from doom (i.e. you are swarmed by specials, or a toxbomber grenade or flamer has you and others pinned and you need toughness NOW)
- Eviscerator
