Player-submitted builds (post-release edition)

Please share your builds here. It helps us to see how people play and it helps new players still trying to figure it out. Thank you in advance.

For you it's not, but that doesn't mean it's not useful for everyone.

No, this is the absolute truth :-)

I've managed to: Win in all possible fights in Chapter 1 (I've got Level 7 right before The Factory);
Detroit City Gang*, but only with Smiles (I've used the same tactics that used Arday on his YouTube videos);
All Speech in Chapter 2, including Eden Crow and Menzel for his 2000 Credits;
Helped Protectors in Warring Kingdom quest;
Win in all fights in Chapter 3, including the Ol' Bub and Red Hydro critters;
Killed Brotherhood strike team with Garret in Armory (I've got Level 11 right before that battle);
Killed Azrael, Tau Six and Delta Nine, when they tried to stop me;
Killed Sheffield and his security team in Kingmaker quest;
Riggs have killed Mercy and took over in Pit;
Got Return to Sender (without Azrael) and War Hero endings (but at the cost of the lives of Romeo and Cobra)

* I haven't done that in my recent playthrough.

And yeah, it's possible with this build to convince Stanton to aid the Grangers, but ONLY if you defeat the Detroit City Gang.

Nice. (I still haven't done "Return to Sender"; nor a Lone Wolf myself. But I still follow this thread. Maybe time to do my first CS playthrough on Linux. Game seems to run fine from what I could see after loading an older save).

I thought an offense-slanted Juggernaut wouldn't be able to keep up with other builds, but then again Violent Vinnie never liked wise guys either.
Or fool guys.
Or guys.

Started 10/8/6/6/4/6, wanting two companions to access non-combat content and pad the Act 1 weaknesses of a low-THC badabonker such as ourself.

It got easier by the tail end of Act 1, when I got a smidge over 100 Accuracy, and from there it got progressively easier.

Now, for the crowning jewels of this playthrough:
-the Heavy Energy Armor is just ludicrous when paired with natural DR, even without the dermal implant
-the Kinetic Hammer is what dreams are made of, also please contact a specialist if your dreams resemble those of Vinnie. Hitting crits for 60-70 damage was hysterical.

The Mission above all!

My second version of Mastermind Hybrid Underdog build, but with blades:

What Marcella can achieve in her journey:

Win in all fights, including Courthouse fights and critter fights in Chapter 1;
Kill Mercy with her guards and Regulators in an open fight:

Destroy Detroit City and Black Hand gangs;
Passed all Speech checks in Chapter 2;
KIll Shadow and his scavs with turrets without Romeo and stims:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUIeA0wYaC0
Steal the Eye from Church;
KIll Great Mother for Landing Ending

She destroyed the Ol' Bub alone, without Romeo:

Beat the HARDEST stealth encounter in Colony Ship:

Get on friendly terms with all three Habitat factions for Ava and ECLSS. Yeah, I've attacked Church soldiers with Mathias, but even with -1 reputation (if Mathias leaves) it's possible to get Cordial relationships with Protectors, Brotherhood and Church for Sigma ending, where player characters will get monk augmentations.
