A build thrown together because I have one for each weapon type somewhere within my characters...and so, had to make one for the combat shoguns! ... despite them being not great!The VII is ok though, loading slugs with Tactical Reload is nice, you can clear out a reaper rather effectively with them even at range, and other specialist and gunners also fall to it too with good aim. So I focused on that one, along with the 'serrated blade' synergy with the knife, running around criting and doing high weakspot damage, along with using Weapons Specialist for free crits on the shotgun as well as make the knife attack that much faster.I take Kraks so that the extra grenade feels nice, along with helping with the sorely needed monstrosity damage (and Bulwarks, always bulwarks). One doesn't get the bonus weakspot modifier, but...for this build that wouldn't really make much of a difference in it's effectiveness. It's 'for fun', so I took Close and Kill, run really fast for a veteran, and am happy. And that's the main thing to be with something like this.
