Dragon's Breath Shotgun Build - Fire and Fury
By Iberian Husky
Anarchist shotgun build that uses (abuses) crit fire. Amazing on Deathwish and probably pretty good on OD as well.

Overview
This build utilizes the akimbo Grimm shotguns with Dragon's Breath ammo alongside the Anarchist perk deck to turn you into the ultimate crowd controller. Makes you nigh-unkillable on Overkill, and trivializes Mayhem and Deathwish. I personally haven't tested it on One Down, but I'd assume it'd work quite well considering how easy it makes Deathwish.
Perk Deck
Anarchist, obviously.
Mastermind


You need Inspire aced so that you can carry the bads. Not much explenation is required here, really.
Enforcer


Your basic shotgun and armor skills. You don't actually need Shotgun Impact or Overkill here since the crit fire is going to be doing all your damage for you.
Technician


Not much to see here. I personally like Hardware Expert, but you can use that point pretty much anywhere you want if you like.
Ghost


Low Blow for your crits and Sneaky Bastard for some dodge. I also like Shockproof because ♥♥♥♥ tasers.
Fugitive


Nine Lives so that you have that extra down before going into custody, and Swan Song so that you can set all the things on fire before going down. Also some Akimbo and pistol skills to buff your weapons a bit. These are optional though, since the Grimms have such an amazing pickup rate ammo is rarely a problem. Still, it's always nice to have some extra in reserve.
Armor
Light Ballistics Vest. You could probably use the suit if you wanted to get a bit more dodge, but the LBV just works better here.
Primary Weapon
The Brothers Grimm 12G

Attatchments:
  • Dragon's Breath Ammo
  • Donald's Horizontal Leveller
  • Concealment Boost +1
  • Auto Fire
  • Little Brother Foregrip
Secondary Weapon
Parabellum Pistol

Attatchments:
  • Short Barrel
  • Concealment Boost +1

This should be your ideal secondary weapon. High concealment, high damage, and high spammability for busting Dozer plates.

Alternative Secondary Weapon:

Bronco .44 Revolver

Attatchments:
  • Concealment Boost +3
  • Ergo Wooden Grip
  • Pocket Suprise Barrel
  • Slimline Body

Use this if you don't have two +1 Concealment Boosts to work with. Otherwise just use the Parabellum.
Melee
  • Buzzer
  • Electrical Brass Knuckles
  • Kunai
  • Ice Pick

Really anything works here so long as it has 32 concealment.
Throwable
I personally use Concussion Grenades but once again literally anything works here.
Conclusion
Enjoy burning down the entire map!

I used a similar build for grinder since the high ROF of the akimbo grimms and fire really make the grinder kick in.
