The sequel to the Attack Speed Loader guide, Mul-T is going to be amazing at this.

Why Attack Speed?
Mul-T already has either one of the fastest firerates in the game, or the fastest firerate in the game to start with. So let's pump it up even more to make it to a ridiculous scale.
Starting off
As per usual, artifact of command.
Weapons I used were Auto-nailgun and Scrap Launcher, though the Rebar Puncher would have been a better option instead of the Scrap Launcher.
I test all of my builds in these guides on Monsoon.
Unlike Attack Speed Loader, I was able to reach the celestial portal without infinite spinel tonic, but still having a spinel tonic later in the game reserved only for emergencies (infinite spinel is fun, its up to you). I also didn't go to the void fields for items, but it is still recommended.

To start off, you are going to want to grab 6 to 7 lens makers glasses as your white items, 3 to 4 predatory instincts, and your first red item should end up being a 57 leaf clover. After you get lens makers glasses, you should go for some tougher times (6-7 should be enough), and then soldiers syringes (the amount is up to you, but don't dump all of your whites into it.) For other greens, you are going to want to grab about 4 Harvester's Scythes, and some Fuel Cells if you want to use an equipment like Royal Capacitor.
Later-game
Infusions are going to be very helpful, since they can help you amass a lot of health very quickly. Any amount works. 3 or 4 stun grenades will be insanely helpful, as they will allow you to stunlock any non-boss enemy, which can save your run quite a few times. At this point in the guide it matters a little less what greens or whites you get, but some topaz brooches for dealing with malachite elites would not be a bad idea. For your next legendary, you are probably going to want a Rejuvenation Rack (or 2), then a Brilliant Behemoth (basically just 60% extra damage), and an Aegis (in no particular order, but the rejuvenation rack(s) need to come before Aegis). For your next few red items, Dio's Best Friend is probably not a bad idea if you are trying to unlock an alternate skin on Monsoon. A few more Brilliant Behemoths probably isnt what you need, as it only increases the AoE, but if you want to be able to deal with clumps of enemies, you can do it if you want. There isn't much else I can really recommend for items, but you can grab any large amount of anything you want, since Artifact of Command is on.
End Notes
Guragura the lucky is awful, I couldn't beat that one but it would probably work against any of the other Twisted Scavengers.
Thank you for reading this guide!
Have fun with this build, and if there is anything you think could be improved, let me know in the comments.

this was made before spleen was a thing, but you are indeed correct

Spleen or ~6 Tri-tips also nets insane bleed stacks in seconds.

My friend didn't like Captain much either. Then he got a Hardlight Afterburner. He likes Captain a lot more now.

attack speed captain wont happen, left mouse button ability is charged and doesn't shoot automatically when its fully charged

@gondal
Each attack has a set proc coefficient. So yes, increasing the rate of fire increases the number of procs, though MUL-T's nailgun has a proc coefficient below 1 so it doesn't proc on every hit.

So does faster attack speed mean higher chances for on hit effects? Or did they balance the chances for him?

fire elite item also helps
