Loadout Guide

STRATEGY

  • Plastcrete Catalyst enables your secondary to become infinitely more versatile than it was previously. You can still use it as a regular Shard Diffractor, but with the added benefit of now being able to mine Red Sugar, kill Oppressors/Tanky Targets at any angle, double your AOE size for swarmers/jellies, and instakill Mactera clouds.
  • Utilize the blowthrough on Pump Action Warthog to Turret Whip both of your Turrets at the same time. Pump Action will also help you clean up any stragglers, and is exceptional at closer ranges, covering for the weaknesses of Plastcrete Catalyst.
  • Use Lures to draw bugs into one collective point, then utilize your AOE tools. (Plastcrete Catalyst, Turret Whip, Blowthrough Pump Action)

NOTES

  • I would not recommend Hawkeye System for most players. I personally like it for easier Turret Whip targeting, but you lose out on a ton of damage, and it requires you to constantly upkeep your Turrets. Defender System is the outright better mod for total damage.
  • As a client/guest, Plastcrete Catalsyst is glitched. This allows you to constantly explode platforms without having to recharge after each detonation.
  • If you are hosting a lobby, you can quickly Animation Cancel after each Plastcrete Catalyst explosion to remove the recharge delay entirely. This is an incredibly powerful technique to learn, and it increases your DPS substantially.
  • This is a very setup intensive build. If you do not like setting up Turrets and Platforms, this may not be the build for you.

hope this helps :)
