Viability

Due to the popularity of The Babysitter Build & multiple requests to make it much better in term of survivability & mobility, I have decided to make another build centered around sentry gun for Death Sentence difficulty that is capable to fulfill this condition. After multiple trial & error, I do believe I have come up with some of the most fun builds to play.

FAQ
For this section, I would answer all those FAQ regarding this build.

Q: Why Infamy 2 & Level 100?
A: To maximize the potential of the build with 120 skill point.

Q: Why I need to pick Set Of The Corrupted Infamy?
A: To reduce the cost of skill point for Mastermind skill tree (Inspire).

Q: Can I use it despite not having 120 skill point?
A: You can, but it is not recommended with One Down enable or in Death Sentence difficulty.

Q: Why I need DLC?
A: Cause the build either need perk, throwable, weapon modifier &, etc that only available from DLC.

Q: Can I use this build even though I do not own or only own part of those DLC mentions in the requirement?
A: If you do not own any of those DLC mentions in the requirement, the answer is no. If you own some of the DLC, it depends on the circumstances.

For example, if a build requires you to either use weapon attachment from Gage Weapon Pack #01 or Gage Spec Ops Pack and you happen to owned only Gage Weapon Pack #01. Instead of using weapon attachment from Gage Spec Ops Pack, you can just use weapon attachment from Gage Weapon Pack #01.
Strategy & Method
  • Don't bother to shoot, leave it to your sentry & convert.

  • Always redeploy your sentry, that is the way to prevent yourself from running out of ammo. You would also repair your sentry by doing so, preventing them from being destroyed.

  • Find a suitable position to defend, particularly a chokepoint. It serves as an ideal spot to defend without exposing yourself to hazard.

  • You do not have Swan Song, Injector or Flask is your key to survive. Time the usage properly.

@Heat Seeking Toad Missile Prolly not due to dmr ammo, but you can try.

Is Little Friend worth using with this considering it's (surprisingly good) ammo economy for the launcher?

@The United States of America. Glad you like it. I usually recommend killing to be left to sentry & convert so you can constantly spend the time to repair & refill the sentry gun ammo infinitely since the sentry ammo run out quickly even with AP enable.

Silas, this build is seriously one of the best builds I've seen and its also really fun to play. I've been using it since about April as one of my main specs and its done great. As for "Don't bother to shoot, leave it to your sentry & convert." I find that most of the time I stay in the green after I get all 6 set up. So you actually can support your sentry guns and your team even more. If you take out a cluster of enemies you can also pretty a pretty good return on ammunition which makes you more self reliant and sustainable.


I have been called a cheater a few times though by noobs which is funny until they kick you :(

@Ash So long it isn't DS difficulty. Ex-president isn't the type of perk that is easy to use in DS.
