Description

Divider

This build is melee and lasgun focused. Use the knife to take out anything up close, and with the high crit chance on the lasgun (thanks to Deadshot and Reciprocity) take out any gunners before advancing while hardly using any ammo (thanks to Shock Trooper). Take advantage of the high crit chance to apply Infernus stacks and let enemies burn out.

 

For swaps, you can get rid of Duck And Dive and switch to Survivalist, taking all the other corresponding talent tree nodes, and have truly infinite ammo with the lasgun - though with the high amount of crits this build can pull off its really not necessary. D&D can also be replaced for Trench Fighter Drill, if you find it not proc'ing enough... Or swap out a Toughness node or Superiority Complex, along with D&D and go for Focus Target and Target Down. Then you will get stamina on marked kills which means you'll instantly replenish a large portion of the stamina consumed by Deadshot.

 

The lasgun is super fun which is why I made this build, but for meta the Zarona build below is the way to go:
