What's the first build everyone is going with?

[Bleezip]

I'm going with a dual flintlock and dagger build. Not too far into the game yet but it's been immensely satisfying just slashing up Roaches and Rats.

I went with the Assault rig, with Complex Capacitor and Armorer as the first two skills, which synergize well. There were a couple of tight spots, but overall less difficult than I'd anticipataed. Mostly using 1-handed blade + shield.

Very cool. I forgot what my gadgets are called but one freezes enemies and the other greatly reduces cooldown on my swings.

thauma rig so I can properly try the energy weapons which are new in Vaporum Lockdown.

Don't mind me - I'm just here to say how much I love to see you guys discuss character builds in our game! <3

:D I love these types of games, I think in the first game I went with a two handed gadget heavy build so I really wanted to go with that rogue archetype with much heavier resistances this time.

Also without spoiling anything...The Elevator Ding followed with the Guardian on it nearly gave me a heart attack. :P

Hhhh, really? :) That's "unexpected".

Thauma rig, with Thauma Catalyser, Fusion Conversion and Energy Weapon.
Hopefully it'll work.

I imagine all the kind of ways to play works, best of luck though! :D

I'm going with a low-life energy weapon build! Assault rig, 3 fusion conversion for xp greed and energy regen, 5 complex capacitor for life-into-damage, 5 into energy weapons for reduced energy cost and cooldown, and any extra into Armorer to increase max vitality to turn into more damage.

I'm at level 8 and its going well so far, even just the 75% damage from the rig is enough to kill things fast enough to avoid most damage.

Here I am, trying to run a dual-wield elemental assassin. At least that's what it's supposed to become when I can get 2 skills to 5.
So far so good, extra damage on low health is terrific but I find myself abusing timestop mechanics much too often for my taste.
I'm planning to move dual-wield into lifesteal (no, not dual-dual-wield) and elemental into chance to proc in melee. And either a gunnery support skill (pistols, likely since they have nice synergy with dual-wielding) or thauma support.

i pick heavy rig because it looks universal in any situation and RNG may be on my side.
I go with blunt for the stun on hit in the end.
I didn't decided between dual wield 2h (for dmg, depends on items i find) 1h (for leech) or shield (shield is good too for now, also has stun in the end)

[JaseMourne]

Wow, I second .smx. in that it's a blast just reading through your reports on playthroughs. Many interesting build ideas! Keep it up! :)

[Master]

I am doing the build I used in the first game max integrity heavy rig and get the integrity depositor perk as soon as possible big damage.

[Gweihir]

Energy weapons, no secondary. So far this seems to be working well.
