This is probably the most surprised I've ever been when it comes to a build. What started as just a build I threw together for the sake of variety and because I saw a few other Vets do it before me, ended up becoming what is probably one of the best builds Veteran currently has right now. I'm not sure what it is, but the Double-Barrelled Shotgun just absolutely F$@KS on the veteran. I think Weapon Specialist helps, giving it that 100% crit, but either way, it just decimates everything in front of you. This easily triggers said weapon specialist, that then has you slicing away with the ever OP Duelling sword. After killing even just one thing, you can hot swap back to your Shotgun, which now has a 20% increased reload speed with one bullet already in the chamber. Just shove the other one in, and let the two fly, and rinse repeat.It's rather insane how effective it is, made even more so with smoke grenades keeping the normally annoying ranged fire off you. You can ignore everything in the cloud and just splatter and stab everything to death. It's, really surprising how effective this is and felt, but I'm quite happy for the fact that it does. As it's now become one of my more favored Veteran builds.
