I make these build pages to send to friends so they can easily tell what I run, they're not aimed at havoc so don't lose your head if it isn't perfect, adjust to preference.
Due to the focus on more ranged nodes, you have to be a bit more picky choosing the melee weapons you are personally proficient with. Pick something that you know you can use during the desperado downtime or as a reliable back-up. You should also not be afraid to swap into melee if need be, you can't sit in permanent spray & pray mode.
My personal top recommendations for alternative melees are;
Orestes Mk IV Assault Chainaxe
Cadia Mk IV Assault Chainsword
To get the most out of the infinite ammo, you want to grab a ranged option with a reload that isn't too long and can hose out those bullets. The double autopistols are mobile and dump their magazine like crazy, pop a stimm if you need to deal with armor or bosses as they will need that 15% Rending and 20% Strength bonus.
Alternate ranged options are;
Although they don't bullet-hose as hard, you can try out these as well;
Agripinaa Mk XIV Quickdraw Stub Revolver
Branx MkVIII Dual Stub Pistols
Crucis Mk XI Double-Barrelled Shotgun (Grab the +15% clip size perk if you do)
Graia Mk IV Braced Autogun (Honestly I still dont vibe with them even on this build, but maybe you do)
