Experimental Plasma Charger
Loadout Guide
This build gives you 40 damage per shot with EPC though it has a lower ammo than other builds.
This is primarily used to make EPC a sidearm for killing rather than mining without using the AOE.
The 5th tier mod allows you to activate the thermal-shock mechanic which requires a cryo gun to pair with this build. I don't recommend thermal shock as a method of playstyle simply because it uses ammo when unnecessary and it also breaks your freeze duration when switching from heat to cold or cold to heat.
However by itself it will light enemies on fire which can help in many other ways and enable other weapon loadouts.
You can also take TCF on 5th tier mod and use this for mining. However with the lower ammo efficiency (112 max ammo) you should really look at the other build using Heat Pipe for TFC.
