With the finesse buffs, Boltgun is just a sniper cannon in disguise. One shot body shot almost everything if you crit, head shots and ult for Ogryn, and melee elites.Shovel - great offensive and defensive option. Duelling sword is obviously OP, and Powersword is another good alt.Perks:

Make sure to use your Exe Stance to equip your Boltgun, as it will bypass the equip animation you normally have to go through if you normally swap to it. Target Down! with some extra Stam from Curios and or Weapon Perks will allow you to keep Deadshot up with very little cost so long as you are killing elites and specials. Currently Kill Zone and Opening Salvo I view as pretty similar - the former allows for a higher ceiling of damage, the latter is more consistent damage.When fighting Monster use shred grenade into nearby enemies to charge Pinning Fire, and then you can just dump into the boss. You can replace Exe Stance with Shout by getting rid of Exhil takedown or Opening SalvoYou need Volley Adept to be able to reload and not drop Exe Stance
