Powerful and Fun Build

[F2AR]

This is a very powerful yet fun build for B4B. Link and breakdown below.

(YES I KNOW THAT OTHER CARDS MIGHT WORK WITH THIS BUILD. I UNDERSTAND YOU MAY PREFER ONE CARD OVER ANOTHER. THIS IS A FOUNDATION BUILD THAT YOU CAN TEST AND BUILD UPON WITH YOUR PLAY STYLE)

It revolves around Chemical Courage and Glass Canon. This setup is for a shotgun. However, you can run this with any weapon, with a few card changes. This is also subject to change depending on the Act you are on.

Mainly the cards that are subject to change are things dealing with shotgun damage if you want to run another gun. Also, the cards dealing with "Move Speed."

Chemical Courage gives you a 25% damage buff for 60 seconds every time you "pop pills." Coupled with support scavenger you will constantly find support items around the map. This with Glass Canon gives you a 50% damage buff. As well as, getting the infinite range barrel, makes shotguns (Not including melee) the strongest builds in the game.

This build allows you to Mob, delete mutations, and bosses. (Recommend AA12 for this)

With a few variations of this build I constantly and consistently solo No Hope.

funny you should mention the "Chemical Courage" card, as I often call it this game's version of the Megahealth power-up from the original "Quake" game (as the extra health slowly ticks back down to normal levels)

as for cards with Reload Speeds, i'd recommend taking out "Scattergun Skills" and "Reload Drills" and replacing them with "Mag Coupler" and "Ammo Belt", as the former gives 50% Reload Speed, while the latter gives 15% Reload Speed (65% total when combined) and 50% Ammo Capacity

I run various different builds with the "addict" (as I like to call it) build. Laser builds, Sniper builds, the list goes on. This was one I was using for Act 3.
