You’d prolly like the SD rifle build. It’s pretty fun to use, but its a bit on the squishy side.

Any suggestions plz?!

That is a great build that GfC posted. I do a few things differently though. I use Rifle Turret, Toolkit and just started messing with Elixir Gun.

EG4 throws down a lot of damage but its stationary which would be better for PvE. It also brings some utility and healing to the build. It will give more sustained DPS then Goggles and damage from EG4 is just a bit higher then other damaging SD setups.

In PvP I like to use PBR over Goggles. That extra CC comes in handy after you get good with it.

SD is a fun build with Rifle. Easily competitive with other DPS setups. Only thing it lacks is Vulnerability that bombs n grenades supply.

You can actually apply an immediate 15 stacks of invulnerability with SD if you use sitting duck and analyze, making it very valuable for spike damage. Steel packed powder will likely be best for sustained vulnerability uptime though, but I’ve always considered SD to be about spike damage since it simply does not have long term staying power.

In the build linked about, I’d swap in sitting duck for rifled barrels since a lot of your high damage abilities will be close ranged anyways. For instance, you can magnet pull, prybar, then go into net or overcharged shot, then blunderbuss and jump shot… nothing in that situation will require the extra range provided by rifled barrels. However, rifled barrels can be good if you simply want to focus on ranged combat, in which case I would possibly swap out power wrench for scope, though that comes down to personal preference.

I still use mine with incendiary powder instead of invigorating speed, and sometimes adrenal implant instead of power wrench. There would be a case for using it with modified ammunition as well with this configuration (can stack immob, cripple, vuln, burning, and bleeding very easily for an extra 10% damage during a burst), though it would possibly mean swapping it out with hair trigger which I wouldn’t really like to do.
