The Foe-Rend Mk V Ripper Gun and Foe-Rend Mk II Ripper Gun guns do a huge amount of ranged damage at the cost of hoovering up ammo so improving ranged efficiency and melee backup is the play and Unlocked and Loaded and Nightmares and Visions itemization makes it easier to get the blurn machine blurninating. Blurn is bleeding stacks and fire stacks together through the power of the Gungryn special ability Light 'em Up and Flechette blessing, and because the stacks get applied even if the minimum number of pellets hit, you can project range further than expected to take down walls of gunners and specials. Brute-Brainer Mk XIX Latrine Shovel was originally chosen both for Crusher bashing and now the Pickaxes like the Branx Mk Ia Delver's Pickaxe and Borovian Mk III Delver's Pickaxe provide great melee damage with minimal support thanks to Thunderous - you can apply 4 Brittleness hits with lights then do a turbo heavy attack. The update also turbo charged your ripper stabs but they only do about 350 damage on weak spot hit without a crit without left tree support so they're not like a fully wound up Blastoom Mk III Grenadier Gauntlet. In a good round you'll be able to shoot about 1,000 - 1,200 ripper gun rounds so the Foe-Rend Mk V Ripper Gun's accuracy and ammo pool gets to go the distance. 175+ toughness and 360+ health is enough to weather fire and bonk people on the head - wound curio is used solely for QOL and can be swapped for health curio to get 400+ health. Melee can get through crowds good when you want to conserve ammo - it's okay to blast away into poxwalker hordes with or without ability up since shooting recharges the ability faster. Biggest Box Of Hurt are for rescuing teammates and long distance Reaper deletion. Build scales nicely with team critical hit chance auras from Psyker or Zealot.
