My style of play has always leaned towards dealing damage.
My go-to loadouts could always deal damage, but I was really vulnerable to taking any.

That’s where this build comes in.
The best part is that it’s something all players can get in on.

Some little notes before we get into it.

None of it is locked behind any projects.
All items can be obtained without taking on any projects.
Treat this as a base guide to build upon!

In this build, I’m using an assault rifle and an SMG, so points are applied here.
If you switch it up at all, just remember to change the allocated points.
Otherwise, you’re missing out on important damage bonuses.

Both talents only apply when you have four pieces of Heartbreaker applied, and they’re both really useful.
Heartstopper is the brand set bonus, applying pulse for five seconds to enemies hit with headshots.
Two stacks are lost every second, which is why you oughta be pretty aggressive to keep them up.

By running the backpack and the chest piece, these numbers go up even more.
For gear mods, I’d recommend using critical hit chance and critical hit damage over more defensive choices.
But it’s since been added to the standard loot pool.

you might target masks inCountdownas one method of trying to get it or keep farming theJefferson Trade Centermission.
Coyote’s Mask is a possible drop from the final boss, Coyote.
To give it even more of a kick, I’ve added a critical hit damage mod.
For the knee pads, I’ve gone with a pair from Ceska Vyroba.
I recommend one piece of Ceska, though, because you get that 10% added critical hit chance.
Mine are also rolled with weapon damage, critical hit damage, and headshot damage.
This is as well as the bonus assault rifle damage provided by the Heartbreaker set.
As you build your Heartstopper stacks, the damage will continue to grow.
You could also use a Vector if you don’t have it.
The second is also linked to Heartstopper, and that’s the sheer fire rate of the thing.
If you want a Dark Winter, farm SMG-targeted loot.
It can additionally drop from named item caches that can be bought from the Countdown or Global Events vendors.
Skills: Shield
The only essential skill I would pair with this build is the Crusader shield.
In the second slot, you might run whatever you desire.
Go forth and experiment!
But the basic principle is the same regardless of the stats you currently have.
It’s also a great build for speed running in the frequent leagues when time is of the essence.
But the best part of perfecting a build is experimentation.
Try your own tweaks and see what works best for you!
