Author's category · 5 items
1. 1
  Sharpshooter
  Built from High-Velocity Rounds
  the only time you ever get close is to lasso (can't shoot) or to commit to a kill with barrel, rest of the time you should be poking from afar

1. 1
  Superior Duration
  amazing item on holliday, skipped to prioritize gun in the gun build, but it is the optimal buy every game
2. 2
  Superior Cooldown
  cd is always great, more so if building barrel and lasso, upgrades to transcendant if util
3. 3
  Boundless Spirit
9I've gotten out of worse spotsoptional
Author's category · 18 items · if you want additional survival
1. 1
  Healing Rite
  great item early, but apples, healing troopers, and smokes can give you plenty of healing if you need it
2. 2
  Rebuttal
  incredibly overstatted item balanced by the fact it takes up a slot. beware parrying is now a self stun and throwing them out there might kill you if you arent getting the parries
