Changelog:
10/10/2025 - Swapped the Talent One Motion (+50% Weapon Swap Speed) with Skirmisher (+6.25% to all Base Damage for 10s after Sprinting or Sliding. Stacks 4 times.) as I found that most of your weapon swaps will be entirely dependant on using your ability, meanwhile Skirmisher is an insanely easy to upkeep 25% buff to all your damage. Alternatively swap out the Toughness Boost (+25 Toughness), which is what I personally run, although due to how Iron Will (+50% TDR if above 75% Toughness) works the +25 is actually pretty substantial.
Questions & Answers:
"What perks on boltgun" Flak + Maniac is what I run atm.
"Why mk3 boltgun over the old one" the new boltgun isn't a boltgun mark, it's actually an upsides bolt pistol with a blicky switch.
"Why did you not take Bring it Down!" surprisingly monsters are hardly an issue, crushers are taken down easily with this knife build and reapers get owned epic style with the boltgun. bulwarks are annoying no matter what.
"Why did you take Smokes" because it's fun and they completely destroy plasma gunner AI if you stand in the smoke, if you don't like smokes just use Shredders and replace Grenade Tinkerer with Grenadier, Leave No One Behind with Demolition Team.
"Why did you take Leave No One Behind?" Born Leader is only a must take on Voice of Command builds and Smoke nades don't need Demolition Team.
"Ari, are you my real dad?" no but I might be your real mom
"Hi, how are you?" Good, thank you.
"What combos do I use on the knife?" If you're lazy just light spam hordes on head level, this works up until high Havoc where enemy Mass values get so high your lights will only hit 1 enemy per swing, then the knife falls off the cliff in usability. For single-target either spam (Special -> Light) or spam Heavy 1 -> (Heavy 2 -> Light 3)
