Description

Divider

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
Perks:

  • Elite - Shovel special WP hits will stop mutants, so you don't need extra damage vs them. Maniac is fine alternative.
  • Flak - to help chew through all the Scab ranged and melee units.

Blessings

  • All or Nothing - Since we are running Deadshot we are often low on stam anyway, might as well get damage from it. Decimator and Skullcrusher are very similar
  • Uncanny- Super buffed in the last patches, once stacked it will give a minimum of 30% damage to all armor types, and significantly more to Flak and Carapace.

Boltgun
Perks:

  • Stamina - Helps with Deadshot upkeep. Can be replaced with Carapace, or Unyielding.
  • Maniac - Helps to body shot flamers, and one shot headshot mutants during ult. can be replaced with Unyielding if you want more boss damage - only use for Maelstrom Monster modifier. You can still one shot body shot (crit) flamers without Maniac if you have Pinning Fire stacked.

 

Blessings:

  • Pinning Fire: 20% damage boost that is almost always up while firing - helps to one shot body shot ranged elites/specials depending on perks. Shattering Impact is not that great with the Carapace damage increase on Boltgun, and Chink in their Armor but it is still okay.
  • Surgical: With buffs to finesse, Critical body shots will now one shot all ranged Elites, and ranged specials making this a very strong blessing.
     

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. Which is why we are still going for Tactical Awareness even with Suppression boost and Born Leader both being quite bad.. Can also go for some Ability Cooldown perks on your curios.

When fighting Monster use shred grenade into nearby enemies to charge Pinning Fire, and then you can just dump into the boss. You can get Demolition Stockpile instead of Volley Adept if needed.
