A build to mirror the Exterminator shotgun build, but this time maximizing the damage output of the Boltgun instead. A thought occurred to me while typing up the other one that I could use Lone Wolf instead, and get a 10% damage bonus and differentiate the builds a bit more than just trading out Withering Fire for Priority Endowment (as the shotgun doesn't want the added mag size because of Sustained Fire, but the Boltgun very much does and an effective 300% damage increase in a volley [as it goes from 15 to 18 bullets in the mag] is better than 15% after reloading). But then I thought about it more and realized I'd just be trading out 'Not Far Behind' for Lone Wolf, and while that WOULD make the builds different...I didn't really value that tbh. It would be interesting, and anyone can do that if they want (move the points on the left to the points on the right before the Aura, move Serrated Maw to Imposing Force and grab Ruthless Efficiency, grab Up Close and Walk it off instead of the dog talents at the start, and then move Not Far Behind to Efficient Killer), BUT, I felt it better to keep it as is, as having the dog stun to better line up shots against monstrosities is super useful, and as good as the Shock Mine is, it doesn't stun Monstrosities (yet). Even after saying all that though, I decided to put it together, since Arbite has such a low amount of 'builds you can make' anyway, so if you search up 'Boltgun', my name and select Arbite, it should pop up!But in any event, same deal. Heavy attack the wave with the Chainsword, use the boltgun against everything else. Puncture lets you absolutely melt everything especially with Shattering Impact, and your dog's added DoT will make sure everything dies before you. Move fast, hit hard, and reload rather quickly thanks to Judicious Efficiency. This being the one build that uses Priority Endowment is also nice, as I wanted access to the monstrosity damage so felt like 'why not get the added bullets too?'. It's a bit overkill, but it's fun, especially with the extra ammo from Ammo Belt. Not much else to say beyond that, just a build to make the Boltgun melt like butter and do it with the dog at your side. Exceptionally effective, just be sure to leave one Remote Detonation in reserve for stunning Monstrosities with, so you can get a good line of sight and nuke them for most of their HP from full. The rest can be used to drop waves as normal,
