Build: 6/2/0/0/6
Weapon: Rifle
Traits: Forceful Explosives, Explosive Powder, Synaptic Overload
Sitting Duck
Static Discharge, Speedy Gadgets, Gadgeteer
Berserker Amulet
Traveller Runes
Utilities: Healing Turret, Toolkit, Personal Battering Ram, Throw Mine

The driving theme of this build is the Mine gadget, which normally is meh, but with synaptic overload becomes good, as you can unload your toolbelt burst 50% faster all the while having aegis every 15 seconds and fury (from Battering Ram)without the need to use utility goggles and allowing you to focus more on defense and all around utility (Toolkit). The idea is to use a combo like Pull -> Pry Bar -> Battering Ram -> Toolbelt burst -> Net Shot Jump Shot -> Blunderbuss for sick damage. Any ideas how to improve this core idea (Throw Mine, SD and Synaptic Overload)? I’ve been toying between these utilities and Utility Goggles and Rifle Turret for even bigger burst but with that setup it is almost always a downed fight as you just die way too quickly without any sort of defense.

You can swap gadgeteer for Power Wrench for using toolkit more often, take accelerant packed turrets instead of Forceful explosives, take speedy kits instead of speedy gadgets, and take rifle and thumper turret in place of the gadgets to serve as knock backs and blast finishers
I’d also take rifled barrels instead of sitting duck so you can net shot from longer range to open up or put 2 in alchemy for protection injection if you feel a bit vulnerable
Switch Forceful explosives with incendiary power so you can apply burn
I use energy and accuracy for sigils

There is only one god and its name is nerf. There is only one thing we say to nerf, not today

I had made something similar a few days ago that seems to work pretty well. Take a look

Ironically, you’ll die as fast as the golem did with this build.

It’s not good, but it is fun. Slick shoes can be swapped with pbr for moar fury, they do mostly the same thing as long as you aren’t try to run.

Protection and passive defense are for walls, not engineers!

Thumper turret toolbelt ability “Rumble” is awesome with Synaptic Overload.

Combo Rumble into Overcharged Shot. The Stability keeps you from falling down and you get the full three seconds of Quickness. Very nasty move.

Yikes man – Gadgeteer, and traiting Energized Armor for +71 power? I would just go with Rifle Mod.

Whoops! Suppose to be Stabilized Armor, not Energized Armor. Forgot that was a trait xD. Gadgeteer is really just there because I wanted to get it into a build in some way. Overall, I won’t really try to make SD tournament viable, so as long as I can spike down glassy as hell builds I’m happy with it.
