2Early Optionaloptional
Author's category · 3 items · Tempo
1. 1
  Opening Rounds
  If you want to fight a lot in lane this item is amazing. Skip Monster rounds and go straight for Burst fire for 4800 invest
2. 2
  Enduring Speed
  Green spike, lets you slide from standing without spirit investment
3. 3
  Battle Vest
  Very strong after buffs, gives you 200 extra HP and good damage
3If whole team is spirit buy one
Author's category · 3 items
1. 1
  Hunter's Aura
  Single best item if you are side laning against a weapon carry, otherwise Hollowpoint is better for camps and objectives. Literally fling yourself at them in 1v1
2. 2
  Hollow Point
  Better than Hunters if no weapon carry, helps you take neutrals
3. 3
  Weighted Shots
  Alternative to hunters if there are no M1 carries. Probably still worse
4Mid game
Game stage · 12 items
1. 1
  Split Shot
  Buy when you want to fight, it's basically aimbot on vyper
2. 2
  Tesla Bullets
  Buffed this patch and feels really good when ahead
3. 3
  Bullet Lifesteal
  Lifesteal doesn't feel good with recent system changes, you can probably get more value out of enduring/active reload until you buy blood tribute
5Mid Optionaloptional
Author's category · 5 items
1. 1
  Glass Cannon
  Great if ahead otherwise go for ricochet/merc mag/capacitor as first 6.4
2. 2
  Cultist Sacrifice
  Built from Monster Rounds
  If you are side laning whole game
3. 3
  Weakening Headshot
  If you don't buy any 3.2k shreds this is a good alternative
6Late game
Game stage · 11 items · L -> R average value
1. 1
  Unstoppable
  Always buy past 30 minutes UNLESS indom is enough cc resist (Very rare)
2. 2
  Silencer
  The best debuffing item in the game. Buy with Rico/Splitshot
3. 3
  Armor Piercer
  Plated armor or high bullet res? Lets you farm t3s almost instantly
7Prioritise bola AP if you feel there will be a midboss fight soon, not really set on T3 venom or slide first. You can go slide if you need the shields early (very strong spike) but I prefer venom most of the time for farming and ease of finishing killsb
