Stimm Lab
Description
This build has been working pretty well for me in Auric Expeditions. The stimm setup allows restoring 79% toughness every 42 seconds in addition to full toughness restore from Rampage!, which helps you stay topped off against ranged damage and/or when outside coherency. Maxed Out Chems is more useful than going for a full stimm lab branch due to the lower average enemy density in this mode. The knife has up to 75% crit chance when all buffs are active.
Needle pistol is pretty efficient at taking out all specialists/elites and DPSing bosses; it can kill most targets in 1 shot, reapers in 2 shots, and crushers in 3 shots (although you'll want to shoot many targets an extra 1-2 times so they die faster). Against bosses, open by shooting them with 4 needles and then you'll be able to maintain max toxin stacks through Coated Weaponry. Spreading toxin from the Branx MKII Needle Pistoldoesn't feel important since enemies are usually spread out, so I recommended the Branx MkVI Needle Pistolfor extra toxin stacks on weakspot/crit hits. Pickpocket doesn't feel necessary because you can buy full ammo at the Sanctuary for 10 salvage.
