[Havoc 30+] Ranged Support
 Veteran Build - Warhammer 40k: Darktide 

This build works for an average player like myself who has trouble surviving in havoc missions, with ranged gameplay as focus. DPS isn't great compared to other classes and builds in my opinion that's why we take Covering Fire, Born Leader and Focus Target!, to support the team.

Pros: High ammo efficiency, good damage against all non bosses, high survivability most of the time

Cons: Low boss damage, terrible survivability when caught off guard

Mandatory equipment and skills: 

- 3 Stamina curios with combat ability regeneration 

- Recon Lasgun with stamina, critical strike chance, Headhunter and Infernus

- Smoke grenade and all upgrades

- Opening Salvo, Tactical Awareness, Deadshot, Lock and Load, Shock Trooper, Onslaught, Duck and Dive, Reciprocity

- Ability Infiltrate with Low Profile

Smoke grenades, Covering Fire, Born Leader,  Focus Target! provide support. Deadshot uptime is secured with stamina curios and passive skills which result in more crits and more ammo efficiency and burn stacks. Onslaught is required for self shred and to boost your teammates damage at the same time, it stacks really quickly with the Recon Lasgun. Infiltrate is used for the 30 % damage boost and to proc Low Profile, this allows us to walk around wIthout being targeted and is the main difference to other Veteran builds. Use Infiltrate often, almost on cooldown but recognize when you should hold it a little. Because Infiltrate is our main defensive tool we want to max combat ability regeneration through curios and Tactical Awareness.

Gameplay is simple shoot everything on sight and apply burn/brittle stacks. Focus priority targets inbetween when needed but generally don't focus bosses unless your team got room, only shoot bosses every so often to refresh burn/brittle stacks. Use smoke grenades when needed and ideally before using Infiltrate, so your team doesn't get overrun while you reposition. Use Infiltrate often especially before elite packs for the 30 percent damage buff, and reload when there's time to regain Opening Salvo. Use melee when there's no time to reload and Infiltrate is on cooldown, to create space and to block bosses with the special move without any skill expression needed.
 

I hope this build helps some of you guys who are struggling with ranged builds.
