Description
Goal of this build is to make Arc Rifle ready for whatever you are facing, building up on it's strengths and completely negating its weaknesses.
While doing insane amounts of ranged DPS, you are also extremely tanky and offer great utility and support for your whole team.
Key skills:
- "Flensing Protocols" to give you 12% crit chance and Toughness recover, while making you tanky
- "Voltaic Emitter" to give you constant 15% attack speed to stack up Capacitance even faster, while stunning everything around you AND disabling gunners completely. You will have so much capacitance reg that you can spam this skill as long you have ammo.
- "Gunsmith" to totally avoid any reloading with the Arc Rifle, whenever you have room and can fight weaker enemies with your melee weapon, you are passively reloading your gun
- "Superior Tracking Litanies" is very important since the Arc Rifle has by default a lot of spread which makes it harder to hit weakspots, or enemies at all on longer ranges. The -30% spread help a lot, also it makes you way more mobile while shooting.
- "Reactor Coil Recharge", "Flux Condit Build-Up" and "Capacitor Reclamation Loop" all work together perfectly with a high crit, extra Arcs Arc Rifle. You will get so much Capacitance that you will be able to spam Voltaic Emitter constantly for the 15% attack speed buff.
- "System Shock" applies 40% brittleness to everything, which helps a lot with shredding through Carapace and Flak Armor, but also gives great utility to your team in damage
The goal is to have so much crit that you rarely have to reload your Arc Rifle thanks to Charmed Reload. So anything which improves your crit chance is welcomed, for example a Hive Scum with Anarchist.
Your role:
- You deal with hordes, in particular groups of Flak armored targets
- You disable hordes of gunners with "Voltaic Emitter", in particular in bottleneck moments or entering a new room
- you provide support in hacking objectives with your Servo skull
- you can deal with any special and fight gunners to provide room for melee classes
Tips for Arc Rifle:
- extremely long reload, so you never want to reload manually. You want to swap to your Transonic Blades and wait for your mags to be refilled automatically.
- Holding down fire increases the attack speed slightly, single taps are slower. You want to keep shooting.
- Aim for heads within 10-15 meters and center body above 15 meters.
Why Transonic Blades?
- Even without lots of skill points in melee skills, they deal decent damage and more importantly are very versatile. You can clear hordes with it, you are mobile with them and you can even deal with higher health targets in emergency situations (Vertical attack mode!).
- You can cleave through carapace armor, even without any extra blessings.
