It depends what you're looking for really. If you want a build that has rapid health regen so you don't really ever need to worry about tonics so long as you aren't just Rambo'ing everything constantly, then this build is great. Just headshot with a repeater and deadeye. It really kicks in at lvl 3 for each card:

Paint it black - While Dead Eye is active you can paint targets onto enemies. Fire your weapon to shoot all marked targets. Each shot drains Dead Eye.

strange medicine - You regain a little health whenever you inflict damage. Your health will otherwise regenerate at half the normal rate.

cold blooded - After killing an enemy you will get back a little health over the next five seconds.

eye for an eye - Headshots restore a little Dead Eye.

If you want a loadout that will also help you if players attack, then I much more recommend this one:

Paint it black

Iron Lung - Your Stamina regenerates faster, and you take less damage depending on your current Stamina level.

Peak Condition - You inflict a little more damage if your Stamina is at least 75% full.

Never Without One - Your hat will block one headshot and then fall off. If you are not wearing a hat you take more damage.

This second one is my favorite and can be altered depending on the situation. If you want more regen for those bounties, switch peak condition for Cold Blooded. If you need to be a super tank, then switch Peak Condition for Fool Me Once. But start with the base cards first.

In any case, I don't go without paint it black. It's good for PVP. It's good for hunting. It's good for PVE when enemies are in the tough to reach spots behind crates. If you absolutely want to do without it, then I'd recommend Slow and Steady or Quite an Inspiration.

I like the one that increases damage for each hit under 10 seconds

Cheat me not, Paint me not and Bug me not. Sadly they're not in the game yet though.

The build I use is an immortal one and works well on legendary 5 star bounty hunts that include a lot of fighting.

Quite An Inspiration+Strange Medicine+Fool Me Once+Kick in the Butt. I Just run in with this activated and can't die. Get guns that can reload fast so you can dish out constant bodyshots to upkeep strange medicine and run in the open to utilize Kick in the Butt.

For me, the best PvE Ability Card Combo is:

Quite An Inspiration - Fast Team Healing.

The Unblinking Eye - Dead Eye lasts MUCH longer.

Eye for an Eye - Head shots rapidly refill Dead Eye.

Iron Lung - Greatly reduces damage based on how much stamina you have.

With this combination you’re basically unkillable against the NPC’s. o_O

Is there a Card to reset the aim accuracy faster(that thing that closes on the crosshair, i believe is called bloom?)?
