Description
Build Notes:
- 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.
- 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:
- Be careful with positioning. This weapon can't dodge around very easily, despite it being one-handed.
- 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.
Weapon Notes:
- This weapons mobility kind of sucks. I opted for left IJ's subnode instead of Good Balance for this reason.
- Horde clear combo: Push Attack (RMB+LMB -> LMB) -> Heavy, or vice versa.
- Single Target: Special Attack, or Light spam.
