Description
Equipment & Combat Strategy
Atrox Mk VII Tactical Axe (Horde & CC)
- Role: Primary horde clear and defensive staggering.
- Special Attack: Use the "Poke" to the head to interrupt Mutant charges or stun Ragers.
- The Combo: Spam the special attack to create a gap in a Rager line, then swap to your Plasma Gun to finish them.
M35 Magnacore Mk II Plasma Gun (Special Sniping)
- Role: Priority target deletion
- In order of priority: Bombers, Gunners, Flamers, Snipers, Trappers
- Efficiency: Stick to primary fire for most targets. Only use charged shots to cleave through heavy armor or dense clusters.
- Crowd Control: Headshots on Crushers, Maulers, and Reapers provide a reliable stagger.
- Reload Tech: Cancel the end of the reload animation by sprinting or weapon swapping as soon as the ammo counter updates. [See video at the bottom of the guide.]
Krak Grenades (Anti-Armor)
- Save for: Groups of Crushers/Maulers or Monstrosities.
- Bosses: Always Tag the boss first to trigger damage buffs before sticking them with a grenade.
Talents & Ability: Focus Target!
- Focus Target!: Keep this active constantly. Helps if using the Auto-tag mod.
- Aura Swap: Use Survivalist as your default. If another Veteran already has it, swap to Fire Team for the flat damage increase.
Node Customization
- Withering Fire → Swap to Agile Engagement for better melee-to-ranged damage synergy.
- Target Down! → Swap to Tactical Reload to significantly improve Plasma Gun uptime.
- One Motion → Swap to Grenadier if you need more Krak grenades for heavy armor waves.
- Field Improvisation → Swap to Born Leader to support team toughness if another Veteran already has Field Improvisation.
