    Skip those UAC quirks and go for full meta GaussVomit. Easily one of the most obvios, but most deadly builds on the Deathstrike.

    Skip half a ton of ammo, a DHS and some armor for a single JJ, which might become handy sometimes.

    Note that I took some of the velocity nodes because I skipped on a TC. This is totally up to personal preference, though.

    5/5,
    Very reliable build: don't be fooled by the simplicity of this build. A 72 alfa strike with excelent pinpoint will cripple a torso or could even be deadly if you hit someone who doesn't torso twist properly, and you don't need to be very close to fully apply your damage: with skills you can easily apply full damage up to 450 meters.

    I personally run a slower but cooler version featuring a TC1

    1200+ damage, last man standing.
    This probably is the build I scored the most 1000+ damage pug games. I would rate it again 5 stars if I could :D



    I also had my personal highest damage of all the pug matches I ever played.

    5/5,
    The sole reason you should get a DeathStrike, however edgy that name may sound.

    Adapted it to fit a TC1. Remove .5t of ammo to bump the armor values up, if you want.

  8. With skills you can run this build at 77.4 kph.
    It will be much, much hotter and a huge sustained dps loss.
    But if your team runs faster, maybe it will work for you.

    Max DHS for invasion defense.

    Turns out it just give you one more DHS compare to

    Wasn't aware that the increase in sustained DPS would be so significant (have only played FP as IS though), thanks for sharing! The XL350 build looks pretty juicy :)

    5/5,
    Confirmed naaasty build. Relies on you being able to get sustained midrange peaks, holding the enemy at standoff distance. This build is meta, but it isn't 'easy' meta, you actually have to carefully position, aim, and manage your heat.

    I run mine with XL365 and 2xJJ:


    The 2xJJ allow you to dual gauss pop tart pretty nicely.

    I went ahead and got a 2nd Deathstrike, which I run 2xERPPC, 2xUAC10 on. I'm not sure which build I prefer more, both are quite deadly.
