Loadout Guide

This build is my go-to scout build for almost every mission, it's versatile, powerful, and fairly ammo efficient.

The gk2 is built to apply electricity fast, across one or multiple enemies boasting fast reloads and high fire rate. T1: a quick reload to make it easier to apply zap and then keep firing T2: ammo, for more zap T3: with electric reload, you'll be reloading frequently, so I recommend you don't take magazine capacity. T4: weak point damage to compensate for your secondaries lack of it T5: RoF so you can tag more bugs in a shorter span of time to be zapped. The Zhukovs are built for raw damage in short, concentrated, bursts. T1: damage! Because what else did you expect T2: All of these are valid options, but I prefer RoF for more damage per second T3: accuracy to compensate for GRs big spread T4: ammo, because weakpoint is useless and I don't find that blowthrough rounds is worth losing ammo T5: last but not least, conductive bullets, to make use of that voltage. I usually take the stun sweeper with this build, but cryo is also very good for this build as well (using the Zhukovs on a frozen target yields huge damage). All things considered this build is very effective for most types of missions, just don't forget to be a good scout as well, Rock and stone!
