Loadout Guide
Warthog: Single Target / Disruptive Killer
Tier 1: RoF. 2 grunts per second honestly doesn't feel bad with stun / oneshotting slashers in the face.
Tier 2: Pellets. +14 base damage, plus the spread is already reduced + the weakpoint damage bonus boosts pellet damage to 9 (6 pellets for 54 damage before weakpoint multiplier). Reduced Spread + Fewer pellets for kill threshold on grunts = reliable faceshotting, so we want more pellets for damage + reliability.
Tier 3: Mag Size or Reload Speed. Reload speed is better sustained DPS, but mag size is what I go with since this build hops around a lot.
Tier 4: Armor Breaking. Not required since Turret Whip has armor break baked in, but helps immensely with on-demand roller removal. Also allows you to oneshot webspitters in the body with 7/10 pellets (surprisingly long range).
Tier 5: Turret Whip allows you to turtle when needed as well as helping out waveclear / mactera removal. Helps you lean on RJ less for AoE.
RJ250 PGL: Mobility, Fear, Waveclear
Mostly standard ignite build with double AoE. 5m full damage AoE means the ignite threshold radius gets pretty huge. Ammo efficiency vs. grunt waves gets better (oddly) over ammo, and you still have plenty left over to jump around.
