Description
Build Notes:
- Thy Wrath Be Swift is necessary because getting stunned on a Martyr build is very dangerous.
- Boltgun is taken because this build chews through everything and it's a strong anti-armor ranged option. Fighting a pack of crushers will never not be dangerous.
- Boltgun can be taken with different damage oriented blessings, but puncture and shatter synergize very well together as the armor reduction affects bleeds damage.
Playstyle Notes:
- The Rashad is one of zealots strongest weapons. Just swing light attacks at everything and it will die, it has ridiculous damage.
- Gunner resistance curio are good, you are not Neo, you are not going to dodge hitscan bullets all of the time. All the other damage resistances can be dodged or outplayed much more easily.
- Stamina regeneration is better than sprint efficiency. You'll get much more value out of it; if you're sprinting, you're usually not in a ton of danger.
- The Boltgun is almost exclusively for ogryns. Packs of crushers, bulwarks, and reapers that are too big for your melee to handle quickly are rendered a non-issue. Since you take throwing knives, you shouldn't have many ammo issues.
- The throwing knives replace any need for a revolver or similar ranged weapon. They one-shot all specialists and ranged elites like shotgunners and gunners.
- Build Notes:
- Thy Wrath Be Swift can be taken if you drop the two nodes under Sustained Assault. This will make you more tanky, but you will lose a fair amount of cdr
- Boltgun is used because it can one-tap ranged enemies and also magdump 3-4 crushers or a pack of Dreg Rager's , making it a good all-around sidearm to the best horde clear melee in the game. Throw a knife to cancel out the long draw animation.
Weapon Notes:
- The Push Attack on the Rashad (Rmb + Lmb -> Lmb) staggers multiple ragers.
- Just spam Light Attack for hordes, and Heavy for single target damage.
