Loadout Guide
Did you ever think "hm, these glyphids look like they need some good elelectrotherapy"? Well now you can become their electrotherapist with this scout build!
Updgrade choices:
M1000 Classic:
T1 - The damage here is pretty useful to counter the lower focus shot damage from the OC but you could go with ammo if you find yourself needing to get a resupply too often.
T2 - Here charge time is the best option, you don't need armor breaking, the Zhukov takes care of armor well enough. You can go with better weight balance if you can't aim but I don't think it's necessary.
T3 - Kinda same thing as T1, if you need more ammo or find yourself reloading too often take extended clip, otherwise damage is always good.
T4 - Here stun works best for me since it gives you time to finish off the enemy with your Zhukov. If you feel like reloading takes too long you can take killing machine. I wouldn't reccomend precission terror since fear makes the glyphid's movements unpredictable, but it could make hitting weakspots on pretorians or opressors easier.
Overclock: Electrocuting Focus Shots - The core thing that makes this build extremely effective, of course it is not interchangable.
Zhukov NUK17:
T1 - Same as earlier if you're running out of ammo use Expanded ammo bags.
T2 - Here firerate is best for dps but if you wanna reload less or need a bit more ammo Quickfire and High Cap Mag can work.
T3 - Here you can go with Better Weight Balance if you have trouble aiming, but usually you're up close with the NUK17 so damage is probably the better option.
T4 - Here both options are good, Blowthrough for groups ammo for well, more ammo but never take the increased weakpoint damage since it doesn't work with the Gas Recycling OC.
T5 - Conductive Bullets is our only option here since its why this build works so well.
Overclock: Gas Recycling - No extra weakpoint damage but more overall damage and armor breaking. you could switch this out if you want to but this works best for me.
Grenade:
Stun sweeper is great for big groups, stuns and electrocutes, a clear best choice.
The rest:
It's all up to your preference remember that static discharge in armor T4 does a stun not a electrocute so it doesn't help our playstyle.
Perks:
The usual, there aren't any perks which enchace this build specifically, just run what you're most comfortable with.
Playstyle:
Pretty straightforward, focus shot with the M1000 (or any other means of electrocuting) and finish off with Zhukov to utilise T5 increased damage to electrocuted enemies. You can use Zhukov to shred armor first if you can't get to the weakpoint. Good luck, have fun and most importantly, Rock And Stone!
(if you feel like you saw this build somewhere before, that's because i posted it once before on karl.gg but it doesn't appear on my profile for some reason so i decided to refresh it a bit and repost it)
