Jinx-Slinger Hive Scum Build
There're probably a ton of "Jinx Hive Scum" builds out there, but this one is mine :)
Keep Crowbar in Alt-mode since you will be using your Autogun for majority of the match. I only bring it out to fight Crushers/Maulers or when out of ammo (never). Really just your backup weapon for 1v1 Elites and pushing Bursters/Dogs.
You can use the Dual Autopistols instead of the Graia Braced Autogun if you prefer, with +Flak/+Reload speed + Powderburn/Blaze Away, but the Braced Autogun really feels like a minigun, especially when you time your ability right! So I would say use the Braced. If you wait to use your combat ability until your mag is almost out, you quick reload with Enhanced Desperado and can keep firing, it really feels like Jinx's Minigun.
Obviously, the Boom Bringer. Best blitz.
Gunslinger aura and the Pickpocket talent allow you to keep your ammo high without ever really needing to top up. Only when your teammates are full or there's an ammo crate really. There are always Elites/Specials to kill on higher difficulties so ammo upkeep is a non issue. If you do run out then, obviously just grab ammo, lol.
And I chose Vulture's Mark instead of Chem Dependency, even though CD would make more sense for a lore accurate Jinx build,,, I digress. Vulture's Mark is amazing since you will almost always have your Autogun out.
