Loadout Guide

In searching for a weapon that synergizes best with Volatile Bullets, I've ultimately landed on this specific Hurricane loadout. Unlike miniguns, there's no need to wind up and fire first before you can turn up the heat. The damage thresholds from the damage mods and Fragmentation Missiles are perfect for igniting bugs as quickly as possible while still maintaining respectable crowd control. Since your build otherwise lacks any sort of stun or immediate stopping power, Cluster Grenades and liberal use of your Shield Generator will have to be employed. It may not seem as ludicrous as other, faincier gunner builds, but the ease at which it enables Volatile Bullets to delete everything from Praetorians, to Wardens, to barrage infectors before they can even fight back makes this build a top contender in my humble opinion.
