Summary
This is my favorite Plasma Gun Veteran build in the game right now. This Ranged/Support setup is Havoc 40 capable and it takes a good balance of defensive and offensive passives in the talent tree allowing any player to pick it up and succeed with it.
Playstyle
Use Krak Grenades to make quick work of Bosses and other big targets while unloading freely into hordes, elites, and specials with your Plasma Gun. Your melee weapon should be used to move around and defend yourself when you get cornered - otherwise use your Plasma Gun as much as possible to cleave through as many enemies as possible. Don't worry so much about your ammo or grenades, this build recovers both very frequently as long as you're actually getting kills.
Weapons
This build allows you to substitute your melee weapon for any weapon the Veteran has access to. For your ranged weapon I would only substitute the Plasma Gun for weapons that have high cleave and damage such as the Hunstman's Shotgun and the Boltgun.
Build
You're able to substitute some passives depending on your melee weapon and playstyle. For example, if you're leaning more into something like the Power Sword, you can replace Target Down with Exploit Weakness for 20% more damage. The increased melee cleave capabilities of the Power Sword should give you enough toughness replenishment through Out for Blood to supplement not having Target Down.
