Loadout Guide

Notice

My Builds were not tested for Hazard 5/Elite Deep Dives.

Build description

This loadout has great crowd control capabilities and great damage against tougher enemies. Put up some sludge, then explode a TCF shot right above them to see your enemies being slowed down to a crawl and lose their health gradually. Neurotoxic Grenades are an optional choice if you wish to go for the maximum amount of slow and DoT damage (combined with tier 5-A upgrade of the sludge pump).

Perks

PASSIVE - Thorns, Deep Pockets, Resupplier ACTIVE - Dash/Iron Will, Heightened Senses
