Is a red hood build possible??

urug22

So I have been wondering if someone can help me make a build for the character red hood from dc comics

flowcyto

So.. I assume for combat, this means that you mainly want a dual pistols build?

Here's a pretty basic one for you to modify or add to, if so:

Would it be good for one of the last powers to be frag grenade???

urug22

And also I haven't had time to check but is the lockbox where the ultimate showdown is the western one is that available in the auction house??

flowcyto

Yea, you can use Frag Grenade (its technically better dps to include it, but I wasn't sure if you wanted it for the theme), and then you don't necc need to keep Burst Shot for the Armor Piercing debuff as Frag Nades' special adv can apply it instead.

And yea, I think Showdown is in that Western lockbox (tooltip for the box should indicate that), though you could just buy the ult directly in the AH too.

It is still theme related since red hood uses grenades and a lot of other weapons other then just pistols

flowcyto

Okay, well then you mine as well axe Burst Shot for it; example:

Powers
Level 1: Gunslinger
Level 1: Holdout Shot (Stim Pack)
Level 6: Concentration
Level 8: Targeting Computer (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 11: Killer Instinct
Level 14: Frag Grenade (Cuts and Scrapes, Open Wound)
Level 17: Lead Tempest (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 20: Two-Gun Mojo (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 23: Conviction (Rank 2, Rank 3)
Level 26: Parry (Rank 2)
Level 29: Resurgence (Rank 2)
Level 32: Lock N Load (Rank 2)
Level 35:
Level 38:
Adv. Points: 28/36

Not an early leveling build, but you can take Burst Shot early on and re-train out of it in the PH later on in that case.
