Description
Bone Saw + Needle Pistol | Toxin Rampage / Adrenaline Frenzy
This build is designed around aggressive close-range pressure, using the Needle Pistol to apply Chem Toxin and the Bone Saw to exploit poisoned weakspots, while stacking damage through Rampage and Adrenaline Frenzy.
The core idea is simple: poison the target, stay close, dodge cleanly, activate Rampage, and keep hitting weakspots until Frenzy kicks in.
Main synergies:
- Virulent Strain makes poisoned enemies take increased damage from all sources.
- Targeted Toxin reduces the damage dealt by poisoned enemies, with an even stronger effect against Monstrosities.
- Pocket Toxin allows Boom Bringer to instantly apply heavy Chem Toxin stacks.
- Ruffian increases melee damage and supports the build’s close-range focus.
- Rampage provides major melee power, attack speed, damage reduction and stagger resistance.
- Boiling Blood helps extend Rampage while fighting Elites and Monstrosities.
- Adrenaline Frenzy adds further melee damage and attack speed once enough Adrenaline is built.
- Adrenaline Unbound provides Toughness regeneration during Frenzy.
- Precision Violence adds strong Toughness sustain through melee hits, especially on weakspots and critical hits.
Typical boss rotation:
Needle Pistol → apply Chem Toxin → dodge → Boom Bringer → Rampage → close the gap → Bone Saw weakspots → trigger Adrenaline Frenzy → stay on target and keep pressure.
The build performs best when you can remain glued to Elites or Monstrosities and maintain continuous melee pressure. It is particularly effective against bosses when Toxin, Rampage and Frenzy overlap.
The Stimm Lab is built to strengthen this burst window further, with the goal of turning the character into a sustained melee executioner rather than a short-duration glass cannon.
Recommended playstyle: aggressive, mobile, weakspot-focused and constantly in melee range. 🧪🪚💀
