Description

How to play it:

  • See a horde? Shoot them with the bolt gun. The Locke Spearhead MK3 Boltgun has a are stagger effect that buffs the dame even more with Pinning Fire. If you need more damage for a short duration use Voice of Command to activate Close Quarters Killzone. Alternatively you can sub out Voice of Command for Executioner's Stance and use the extra point for either The Bigger they Are... or Weapon Specialist keystone. 
  • Switch to melee whenever you see a lone elite specialist or elite enemy just kill them with the Combat Knife to replenish ammo with Survivalist and Practiced Efficiency.

Possible swaps in build:
 

  • Quite honestly this build is pretty flexible in terms of what you want to tailor it too. The passives I would consider not essential to keep it consistent during play goes as follow: Agile Engagement, Kill Zone, Lock and Load, and Desperado. I wouldn't exactly recommend dropping all of them at once, but if you want to swap something out to gain access to a keystone then feel free to do so. Dropping Kill Zone to gain access to Weapon Specialist cranks up the damage and uptime for the bolt gun, but during play felt it was a bit overkill and decided to drop it and use the extra point for something else. 
  • I'm an avid fan of the Combat Knife. But I understand it might not be everyone's favorite, so if you want an alternative to it then you can use something like the dueling sword or any of vets power swords to better cater to your play style. If you do drop it for a power sword then I would also drop Desperado, Onslaught, and Rending Strike and take Weapon Specialist or Focus Target with Leave no One Behind and use the spare points to fit whatever you want to do. 
  • Even though I take Krak grenades I find that I barely use them in allot of runs because the bolt gun does allot of the heavy lifting. If you want to use any of the other Blitzes then go for it Krak's are not mandatory. 

 

It's a pretty fun build. Don't know how it handles in havoc play but fun for people who enjoy Auric Maelstrom for example.
