Author's notes

test build, different order

Item categories

1. 1Early game

   Game stage · 7 items · Can get battle vest after or before 1.6k gun items

   1. 1

      Restorative Shot

      swap order with cq if u want`, sell first

   2. 2

      Close Quarters

      gives the most dmg to gutshot and nades this early, best T1 he can get early

   3. 3

      Opening Rounds

      easily his best t2 item, nades now hurt alot and gutshot will chunk them especially with wallstun

   4. 4

      Slowing Bullets

      highest raw weapon dmg t2 available, builds into weighted now which is even better

   5. 5

      Battle Vest

      always good and useful vs m1 lanes. sell late for better defensive options

   6. 6

      Enduring Speed

      might test more stam mastery, both are good. with stam mastery skip bullet lifesteal

   7. 7

      Bullet Lifesteal

      hp and nice little survivability, builds into vampiric

2. 2optional

   Author's category · 4 items · Cancer lanes

   1. 1

      Monster Rounds

      I usually always grab this for rem/grave lanes

   2. 2

      Healing Rite

      op

   3. 3

      Reactive Barrier

      bepop, graves, haze etc. honestly a life safer

   4. 4

3. 3Mid game

   Game stage · 7 items · Get 4.8k Green then start 9.6k gun invest

   1. 1

      Extra Charge

      cheap easy buy and timed well for nade max

   2. 2

      Recharging Rush

      One of his best synergizing items. Nade and gutshot can pop it on their own + fairly low CD. Can skip if you go cultist as to not mess up investment timings and save a slot

   3. 3

      Weighted Shots

      Built from Slowing Bullets

4. 4Up to youoptional

   Author's category · 1 items · Always good

   1. 1

      Cultist Sacrifice

      Built from Monster Rounds

      tempo stealing farm maxxing. still a great item, skip opening and slowing if u go this route for smooth 4.8k

5. 5Late game

   Game stage · 6 items · Roughly ordered in value, get whatever you need after BE

   1. 1

      Vampiric Burst

      Built from Bullet Lifesteal

      fat spike in survivability and dps. use before dropping nades / ult for the most healing or after mag dumping to instantly refund your ammo

   2. 2

      Glass Cannon

      Biggest dmg spike possible. Makes Nades Nukes and better than ever after the global hp and green investment changes. Can skip or go earlier / later if you want

   3. 3

      Echo Shard

      very, very fun and actually compy. extremely underrated in non melee builds

   2. 2

      Spellslinger

      Luxury item. can be a huge dps boost, also helps stack inhib/silencer

   3. 3

      Greater Expansion
