Description

Divider

This build is based on having a high ranged crit chance to trigger the Flechette weapon blessing on enemies. It really is that simple.

Let's crunch the numbers for our ranged crit chance

•10% (Veteran base crit chance)

•5 X 12% (Scattershot weapon blessing)

•25% (Deadshot)

•5 X 5% (Reciprocity)

Whis gives us a theoretical maximum crit chance of 120%. While not all your crit buffs will be active all the time, in practice you'll still be landing crits more often than not. To help keep Deadshot active, the build includes Target Down to let you replenish stamina on marked kills, a stamina curio, 2 stamina replenishment perks on your curios, and a stamina delay reduction node. You may notice that entire hordes of enemies just sort of drop dead a few seconds after you've blasted a couple of shells into them. This leaves us with the problem of dealing with the toughest elites and bosses. For that, the build has fully buffed krak grenades as well as a combat knife, which doubles as a mobility tool. And to round out the build, it also includes Field Improv, Voice of Command and Survivalist, all of which provide utility for the entire team.

Happy hunting!
