Description
This build was specifically designed to maximize plasma gun usage and survivability. Always prepared allows you to never manually reload. Survivalist allows you to sustain your ammo way better. Iron Will allows you to get 50% less damage when hit above 75% toughness.
Make sure to trigger Melee Specialist before attacking hordes and always keep track of your stacks. Some Hud mods are highly recommended for better tracking. Buff HUD Improvements, Crosshair HUD and Custom HUD help out a lot.
The Melee weapon in this build is up to you, I love me some movement and knives in this game are very good if paired with melee nodes and bleed blessing.
Can also recommend the Cadia Mk XIIIg Assault Chainsword or some power Sword you like.
I ran the Cadia with Flak Damage - Unarmoured Damage; Rampage and Savage Sweep and it was really good.
As Ranged options you could also use the Zarona Mk IIa Quickdraw Stub Revo but imo there's no reason to use it over the plasma gun, since plasma gun is goated on vet.
If your aim sucks take Close Quarters Killzone over Marksman.
Switching to this build really shows you the insane potential of vet, since other keystone nodes are kinda meh once you tried Weapons Spec.
Enjoy! <3
