Description

Don't worry, it's just a small pinch

Doc is sharing meds with everyone, one needle at a time with Branx MKII Needle Pistol

  • Mostly just shoot, only melee when enemy gets too close. Spam shots and don't worry, supply will not run out because Pickpocket
  • Primarily use Special attack of the Mk2 needler to dump at clumps of enemies, try to spread the shots to individual basic mobs and the whole group will melt from the aoe.
  • Regular attack to kill elites and specials:
    • 1 needle for gunners and specials
    • 2 for ragers and muties
    • 3 for ogryns and maulers
    • Add 1 doze if in a hurry
    • Clip dump on monsters
  • In Your Face & Quick and Deadly both improve toxin damage even though it's not obvious from the description, add Toxin Mania on top.
    • Flak and Unyielding damage on both weapons to improve toxin damage on key targets.
  • Stripped Down & Run 'n' Gun are a nifty combo, you can run through a hail of fire while tagging the shooters with needles, then duck to cover and let them melt.

Catachan Mk VII "Devil's Claw" Sword 

  • Best backup melee weapon is being slept on again and since this is mostly a ranged build for the needler it's a great match for the devil's claw. Bad boy getting in your face? Parry to chop their head off! Also very good for clearing hordes.
  • Rampage for chopping hordes. Shred for even more crit on top of Chem Enhanced, Anarchist and crit node for good overall damage due to high Finesse and stacking toxins via Coated Weaponry.

Stimm Supply

  • All the nodes to buff your teammates as flexibly as possible and leave a bomb for more toxins.
  • 4x strength, 3x attack speed, 3x damage resistance on the stim for a good overall package of stat boost while keeping the cooldown at reasonable 59s base.

tl/dr Shoot everything with needles, special for groups, regular for elites. Infinite ammo as long as you kill elites/specials. Boost team with stim pack. Parry rager heads off all day.
