Stimm Lab
Description
Playstyle
Stay close to enemies and try to hit weakspots while dodging attacks.
Mechanics
Vulture's Mark and Float Like a Butterfly will cumulatively stack +crit chance which will enable Vulture's Dodge .
Enhanced Desperado and Slippery Customer will both help to maintain Float Like a Butterfly.
Promixity to targets scales damage for passive In Your Face.
The Stimm Lab is geared towards killing any armored units as fast as possible, while also upgrading dodge capabilities. I usually save it for Scab Rager / Scab Gunner enemy clusters, bosses or whenever I need some strong dps.
Weapons
Enginseer's Mk VI Crowbar is the Hive Scum version of the Veterans foldable shovel. Toggle between single target / multi target. I put as much anti-armor on it as possible.
Vraks Mk II Braced Autogun with Fire Frenzy and Speedload feels like an optimal setup for this build. The perks for +damage to Maniac and Flak seems like a safe choice. One might be tempted to switch out one of them (Maniac) for +reload speed or +crit dmg/chance.
Curios
2x Toughness + 1x Max health feels good. I like stacking +ability cool down reduction for maximum use of Enhanced Desperado. This could be switched out for +health instead.
Misc
Hyper-Critical cannot be triggered by ranged attacks.
I think Burst of Energy is a really nice backup choice, but I opted for more "rattatataa.."
