None, delete the game and stop wasting your time on this massive disappointment. Go play something else instead, anything. Even Tetris and Pac-Man would be better.

Why the hell are you even here with your toxic and shallow input. Why are you not playing Tetris or Pac-Man?

I'm all for bounce. HAMR and the Sharp Blade pants. Don't even use a second weapon anymore, just some dropped loot to hold a mod. With the original butterfly deviant to give me weakspots. The gun (rebounds) finds those all by itself. Aim at the boss and the rebounds kill the adds. Or prioritise it's weakspots. High rate of fire, decent mag size. Later in the game you'll find mods that reload your weapon after you kill 2 mobs.

Not really. We have other weapons that are also effective against this boss, such as Momento, Scar, Predator, and others. It's not just Bingo.

When did the frost m4 get a healing effect? lol I think you might be confusing it with the purple m4 that has the fortress warfare.

its more about mods - in these case a Frosty blesing 10% heal when vortex shatter. and silant anabis is making vortex by dozens

i think heat have similiar mod but its like 5% heal at kill so not very usefull at bosess

Silent Anabasis hardly makes any Frost Vortex, it's either the Icy Rain or Glance Abyss. Silent Anabasis makes Icicles. Silent Anabasis is also bad at AoE but better at single target compared to Icy/Abyss.

Then guns like KVD. Shine in Prime Wars, but really not that effective on Silo/LEA Bosses (Solo).

You are doing it wrong then, Boom Boom is freaking crazy damage on single target with Pyro Dino, as long as Pyro Dino can hit it. No, it can't catch up to Bingo perpetual Weakspot with anim cancel shooting or Primal Rage, but it easily beats Outer Space or Corrosion. In fact people can do solo speed run LEA with Boom Boom.

The thing with KVD Single target is you want to time it right with Dino. Absolutely devastating, even with the "nerf" to Dino it's still exploding 150k+ (Dino Explosion + Boom Boom explosion) each burst on LEA Elite/bosses and DoT 20k-40k per second with max stack burn. It can still one shot all the Elite in LEA.

These are all the builds I have tried
Bingo with Seasoned Hunters = Perma WS, easily the best build for raw DMG. You don't care about hitting WS because almost every shot is a WS no matter where you shoot.

KVD Boom Boom with BBQ Gloves = Easiest weapon to use by a long shot. Outside of bosses that are immune to Elemental, this is simply the best newbie friendly weapon. It's almost unmatched in AoE (you tap once and all trash mobs die) and very good in single target DPS.

MG4 Predator = really really good single target DPS IF, there's a big IF, it can hit Weakspot. Without WS, you can build crit rate which is still miles better than a lot of weapons in single target DPS. Weakspot build is still the best though, and potential to be very close to Bingo/Primal on single target.

MG4 Conflicting Memories = pretty good crit rate build with Overflow BP, I can kill Shadow hound Pro in ~45 seconds (yes, that including all 2 phases that you need to break the glowing red parts on it twice) even before my shadow hound deviation expires. If you got Overflow and get over 200 bullets in a mag it's really good DPS.

Last Valour = a more newbie friendly Shrapnel weapon, but it's not as good as Conflicting Memories when properly built because you would have to reload quite often so you lose out DPS. It's just easier to use.

Primal Rage = stupidly good single target DPS, up there with Bingo.
Silent Anabasis = has OK AoE capability but more of a single target DPS frost weapon.

Glance Abyss/Icy Rain = Good AoE capability, but mediocre DPS overall. I think the issue is the Key Armour is not as good as Burn or Shock (where they add 60-100% DPS to the Elemental DMG, the Key Armour for Glance Abyss is mediocre overall). Glance Abyss is better burst DMG but Icy Rain you don't need to reload.

Outer Space = Good single target DPS but there are so many better weapons in terms of single target DPS nowadays. Suffer from not having a Shock deviations.

Corrosion = a better version of Outer Space but shorter range. Not range in term of bullet DMG degradation, it's just that you can't snipe with the Corrosion like you can with Outer Space, as Elemental DMG doesn't degrade with range but your bullet still need to hit and Shotgun bullet doesn't travel far enough. Suffer from not having a Shock deviations.

Pyroclasm = It's really good single target DPS if you time it right with Pyro Dino. Can out DPS Boom Boom in single target IF you stay in close range. However, because you need to be in close range, Boom Boom is MUCH easier to use.

Little Jaws SMG = good single target DPS, AoE range is too small otherwise it would have been a fairly good AoE weapon. A bit hard to use because it relies on you hitting the target accurately to increase Delay Unstable Bomber final DMG, can be a challenge at long range because this SMG is fastest but also has the least stability. Kinda a close range weapon because the Shattered Maiden is hopelessly close range for the DMG buff.
