Description
Melee
- Light Attack Spam for Hordes.
- Heavy Attack Spam for anything else.
- Use the greatsword's special attack, the super killer death slice ability, to clear hordes, elites, anything, can be used to quickly get specials just out of melee range, like dogs and trappers.
- The MKVIII is just easier to use, but the other one is also completely viable and probably better if you learn the moveset.
Ranged
- Laspistol for Bosses, specials, anything you don't want alive that you can't hit with GS.
- For bosses, shoot close enough to proc Dumdum, hit in weakspot (heads of spawn and ogre, back pustule and mouth of burgle),
- Just hipfire, very good hipfire accuracy, you can 'snipe' snipers across the map with the hipfire, almost no reason to ADS.
- Ammo is basically not an issue.
- I HIGHLY recommend a mod like FullAuto that will stop you getting RSI after 2 games.
Blitz
- I hate brainburst, I personally would only use assail or smite, the smite configuration is above.
- Assail can soften up hordes, used to generate peril, kill specials, and spamming the aimed assail with scrier's gaze on Warp Unbound can be good too (an otherwise very peril hungry ability becomes spammable).
- Smite is a good panic button, if you bite off more than you can chew. e.g. pack of ragers in your face, many doggies etc.
- Brainburst can kill things more slowly than laspistol, and not much else.
- The blitz gets very little use in this build I have found, so choice is almost entirely preference.
Strategy
- You want to be getting 25 stacks of your keystone, disrupt destiny. Do this by headshotting anything that glows blue, weakspot kills will allow you to easily keep it at 25.
- Pop Scrier's Gaze on cooldown, and it augments everything you do with lots of damage and good stuff. This build kills so much you can have nearly 100% uptime on scrier's gaze when it gets busy.
- Scrier's Gaze also is a big source of survivability. the more uptime you have, the tankier you'll be.
- Between all the stamina, kinetic deflection, all the dodges, speed from scrier's gaze and disrupt destiny, you are incredibly fast, slippery, and tough. The greatswords weakness, I find, is it's low mobility, stacking all these speed buffs makes it feel more like the duelling sword.
- You want to be swapping to laspistol for all your mobility needs, if you have no reason to be blocking or whacking something, be on laspistol, you can out-sprint the entire game with your buffs up, specials, hordes, you're faster than a charging mutant, you can literally outrun it.
- Feel free to add more gunner resist if you're bad at dodging bullets.
- If you have high disrupt destiny stacks, peril and pop a red stim, you can one-shot headshot the assassination bosses, up to about damnation.
BE AWARE, this is a very selfish glass cannon. Almost every single build choice is damage and speed. You will want tankier builds that give more to your team in high havoc, like Mister E's with the shield. But this is the most fun way to play the game, and all the speed is very good for expeditions.
