Main character Build help - Guns/munition

nafearian

Hello! This is my main character's build which consists mostly of guns and munitions. He's very well geared which sometimes I think gives the impression of a good build, but I was just hoping for anyone's suggestions on ways to improve it.

Previously used Chest Beam with hand cannon but switched to Shoulder Launcher after they changed it so it doesn't work simultaneously with other PA slots - really miss the quick blasts and knock back it gave. Hand Cannon + Shoulder Launcher combo is very powerful but often a pain to use due to long windup (in both PVP and soloing - PvE it's fine) and it feels clunky when activating them both. I have nothing to debuff with atm which I would like to change to take full advantage of PBR.

Any help appreciated!

Seems a bit redundant to use PA w/ PBR and Muni. Some PA slots could serve as nice alpha strikes when combined, I suppose, but I'm not sure that's worth the power slots. Perhaps depends on the playstyle and content..

Chest Beam taps can give the Burn Through debuff for PBR, though. LT is fine for easy AoE as a standalone w/ the Targeting Comp passive. You'd already have a decent enough dps kit w/ those three attacks, so I guess it'd come down to w/e else ya wanted to add.

thanks for reply!

I changed back to Chest beam and took bullet hail with the wall of bullets advantage for a bit of defence - it's a lot less spikey in damage but works much better in PvP and still has decent output - thanks a lot for the advice
