The idea is to quickly build up Back Off! stacks with the Cleaver then swap to the Kickback for a guaranteed Lucky Bullet proc. The Kickback doesn't benefit from a lot of gunlugger nodes, so I go Indomitable and Bonebreaker's Aura then all the way to Burst Limiter Override.
Inspiring Barrage is lowkey pretty good at least among other Kickback blessings. I face tanked a demonhost in auric by just shooting it over and over while backed into a corner; I had 50% corruption by the end. It's mainly for being aggressive against gunner spam though. Pierce apparently has a hidden effect that grants ranged attacks 400% cleave which I haven't tested. Other than that, Surgical is probably the best option, but in spirit of the build's theme, I recommend Expansive. IDK what perks would be good for Kickback. You probably want maniac or unyielding damage over reload speed, but I take it to justify not taking Keep Shooting.
Slaughterer is a must. Confident Strike is really convenient, and I haven't tested much else.
This build struggles mainly with carapace, but you have multiple ways of staggering them with the Kickback, Cleaver alt, and Indomitable to buy time until your team can handle it.
Indomitable, Get Stuck In, and Unstoppable Momentum + the Cleaver lets you go fast af. It's a lot of fun.
Spray and Slay might be worth, but it conflicts with Lucky Bullet, so I opt not to. If you wanted, you could probably remove Maximum Firepower and Focused Fighter to get it.
