Build help,must equip mods ?

[Zx_Cryogenic]

Im still doing the story on normal mode at glutch and have seen a bit of a spike in difficulty,im kinda overwhelmed with all the mods and all the differant builds online,i havent invested in a legit build yet because half the stuff is farmed from hard mode so just trying to get normal done but as far as a non build character what are the best mods to use and upgrade until i get a real build going like the no brainers for descendant and the 3 weapons,im currently using assault rifle / shotgun & scout rifle

I'd say starting out just figure out your own build that covers your characters weakness and enhances their strengths. Use what you have available and then down the line you will see where you are lacking and where adjustments need to be made.

Some general mods I use on most characters are ones that increase health and defense. If they use a shield equip a mod for that as well. Whatever melee weapon you decide to use level that mod all the way up because it increases capacity. If your character has a polarity available for a good mod then you can level that one as well because it will be half capacity cost. Skill cooldown is also useful.

As far as weapons one that I used for most the game is the Thunder Cage. But on bosses something like a Tamer is better. 2nd weapon slot I usually have a scout rifle or laser though lasers are kinda niche. Last slot I almost always have a rocket launcher of some sort. Vestigial Organ or one of the unique ones that have either high fire rate or magazine size.

I only use Shotguns on characters that fight up close like Sharen or Velby. Don't really have a favorite yet because they all do some crazy damage.

I might edit this later and put the proper names for modules.
