Warning this build is extremely hard to setup exactly as I have it, it took me years to get Unicorn Legmo pieces and you will want other slot pieces in case setups change in future.
Want monster Pestilence ticks? This is one variation, relies on Smart Cover skill for max damage, you can only get this skill by having the Brooklyn DLC installed. With this build all the info is in the photos below, you need high critical chance for Equalizer chest to stack properly, get 5 kills for backbone talent damage. No Smart Cover and damage is 1.8 million per tick, with Smart Cover 2 million per tick. This is one of the hardest builds in the game to put together, Legmo gear comes with blue armor core by default so you will need to hunt for at least 3 pieces of Legmo with CHC/CHD as both red attributes so you can reroll the armor core to Weapon Damage which is mandatory.
Weapon Damage is the fuel for Pestilence Ticks, but this build has high critical chance and burst damage. The burst is the main improvement from my previous build which relied on ticks mainly.
Benefits of this build is full clearing of content with minimal shooting, these huge ticks take out everything in range after 5 kills at least. Remember the ticks will be killing and giving you 10% armor repair from Gunner Specialization. There are more ways to put this build together, this one is safer than other using Perfect Glass Canon which was my older build and does a tad more damage but comes with a huge +60% damage to you from enemies. The screenshots show the gear, stats, and shooting range numbers one with no Smart Cover other with it activated. All 3 pieces of Legmo in this build are considered Unicorn all red crit/crit.
Note about the build stats in the photos, was using Y8S1 modifiers set to Optimize/Overdrive, all 3 passives split 25, 25, 25. So you can actually improve your stats if using within this season, I have it setup to “set it and forget it” with these splits and prefer the cooldown reduction.
Build: (All red, weapon damage, critical hit chance, critical hit damage)
- Cores, 6 Red, Attributes 12 Red
- Legmo 3 pieces all red (Unicorn), mask, backpack (Backbone named), holster
- Chest Equalizer named Unit Alloys, all red.
- Gloves, Exotic Overdogs, all red.
- Kneepads, Fox’s Prayer, red with attribute either CHC/CHD.
- Specialization, Gunner.
- Skills, Reviver Hive, Smart Cover Precision.
- Mods, CHC till +55% then CHD everything
- Weapon, Pestilence (Mandatory)
- Secondary Weapon, any.
- Pistol, Quickstep or any other.
If you want more survivability you can change gloves to Legmo and swap Legmo mask to Catharsis Exotic mask. Can also just swap out the Smart Cover for a healing skill. You will have crazy threat with big ticks going around.
