Loadout Guide

Want to exert your flaming wrath on every bug in Hoxxes?

This pyromancer build can dish out some serious damage - your mindset here should be to get in as much burn damage as possible. (I bet this could synergize with a driller pretty well!)

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

That means getting up close and personal. Your armor is important here - take as much shield as possible. Additionally, take the Elemental Insulation Upgrade. ⠀

- Your bread and butter is the Reatomizer. It transfers any debuff from the first target you hit to every other one. Additionally, its t5 upgrade, Necro Thermal Catalyst synergizes INCREDIBLY well with reatomizer - Transferring fire, then exploding the enemies. This could also be done with Hellfire, but I don't have that upgrade :< (also, I just think this one is more ammo efficient.)

  • Use your Minigun or Grenades to light enemies on fire - try to spread the damage. the Improved Stun should help keep them just inside your area of effect. Once at least a few enemies are ablaze and have enough health to be finished off, switch to your Coil Gun and shoot the first one you can.
  • Depending on how many bugs you hit afterward, damage will change. But no matter what, you're pretty likely to obliterate the swarm. the AOE is massive and will proc multiple times (once per bug killed via coil gun)

--EDIT: I realize there is a Bulldog overclock called Volatile Bullets. It would work well with this build, if you want a more consistent experience! If I unlock it, ill give my opinion on it :) ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This is my first build! its probably not very efficient, but holy moly is it fun!!! ALSO- Wearing the Horned Horror mask will absolutely increase efficiency ;>
