Description
Weapons
If you find that you lack melee power, you can go with the Aridin Mk I Power Falchion instead of the Munitorum Mk III Sapper Shovel. Clearing Poxwalker hordes is not an issue with the Shovel, however if they are mixed with Maulers and Bulwarks, then it can feel underpowered.
This build goes well with the Relic of Cadia cosmetic set, and is Shock Trooper themed, so feel free to use other melee, like the Cadia Mk XIIIg Assault Chainsword or the Munitorum Mk III Shock Maul!
If you want more mobility, you can always use the Catachan Mk III Combat Blade or the Atrox Mk II Tactical Axe.
Tactics
Clear hordes with the Munitorum Mk III Sapper Shovel!
Stay out of melee when possible, to gain the bonus from Kill Zone!
Utilize Shock Trooper to conserve ammunition!
Take covered or vantage positions, (smoke if useful), engage Executioner's Stance!
Take headshots on highlighted Specialist and Ranged enemies!
Smoke is especially useful when the team is pinned in a shooting gallery surrounded by Ranged enemies.
Use your Torch (weapon special) to see in the dark, and pick off ranged enemies from a distance when your Ability is in cooldown!
Talent Options
You can go with Close and Kill instead of Fire Team, if you feel you are doing plenty damage, but lack mobility!
You can go with Trench Fighter Drill instead of Toughness Damage Reduction, if you feel sluggish during melee.
You can go with Krak Grenade or Shredder Frag Grenade instead of Smoke Grenade.
You can go with Iron Will instead of Superiority Complex.
Ability
This is the easiest Ability to waste without it doing anything useful. Wait till you have confirmed that there are eligible targets in range and you are in a good position to pick them off! It will also do absolutely nothing if you get into trouble and about to go down. Mastering this Ability is the hardest, but a requirement for completing the Veteran Master of War V penance.
Mods
For this build to really work, you may need to utilize 2 mods in particular:
- SuperFlashlight (makes Torch useful)
- ViewModelTweaker (can tweak the zoom on the ADS)
