You can pause the video to see all the details for the gear at the end 09:47 - Gear Mods
Because maybe I didn't showcase exactly the Name of the armor pieces but mainly the mods and not everyone can figure it out from the last chapter where the name is displayed...
I am using
- Beret (helm)
- 2 Scout pieces Mask and Pants (for +8% weapon dmg)
- 3 Falcon pieces Jacket, Gloves, Shoes

You can use Lone Wolf if you afford to buy it with starchrom and get even better numbers.
Except the AR all other gear and weapons you can get from mystical crates/drops

2 questions: 1> What are the mods you are using for Chest and Pants, 2> Why are you using the Falcon set instead of Lone Wolf?

Sick video bro keep up the good work!!! 🔥🔥🔥
I'll definitely be coming back to this to try this build out once I get the currency to buy the blueprints.

Hey man. Just a quick question, what ammo are you using for your tests? Just standard blue tungston or purple AP tungston ammo? I also wanted to know, do you find taking the extra crit against marked targets to outperform 100% shrapnel weakspot hit mod on the mask and then for the helm, running the momentum up being better than the mod that doesn't do weakspot dmg but gives you crit rating and crit dmg? Thank you :)

[keanov]

What weapon calibration you using?on each weapon

[七hconvict]

Thank you for this budget shrapnel build, would like to ask if wildfire can be alternative to crossbow? Thanks!

[maoriking]

hey bro where do i find your mods on all your gear an weapons for shrap build?

[chgaming]

I use ballista gears for more weapon damage while my wolf taking the agro

[PrettyboyPa]

I see the crossbow and the axe I click away lol

[youssefhamdi]

I have tried some shrapnel builds i saw but i can never go past 200k damage total on dummies. How can you get this much damage? i literally have my weapon at +10 **, i have the gear and some of the mods but i can't get this much damage. How are you doing this?

[oFii]

what is the best calibration for SCOR ?

[NotRoyster]

what mods were you using for the sustained damage build since im not sure if you showed it

[bryansanchez]

I really dont understand. I have pure gold stat crit damage.. Lonewolf and bastile. Iam not even reaching 50k dps.

[iShion]

i should test with wolf deviant next time, but if im dtill doing less dps, then im probably doing something wrong, i did only 43k dps without the wolf deviant, but i was on shrap food buff, fortress warfare, and xbow, and normal tungsten ammo.

[willrevillame]

How come every single shrapnel guide is almost perfect except that the guide maker always forgets to include the calibration.

[ArjKm]

does the axe bug still work ? You just swing cancel your axe before shooting and it give you fortress warfare ? or do you actually have to hit something to get into fortress warfare?

[Thheyakkk]

i dont get it, i have even better mods than this and i cant get anywhere near that damage on the test dummy

[dallinostler]

I have more stats you in all of categories.... calibrated everything to 10 same mods, same food buff, higher rated deviant, and still pull no where near this kind of dps....

[alexander.sabinin]

No armor, no armor mods - it's very far from "full guide".

[MarceloYuri]

Meanwhile, elemental builds bypass damage reduction and have no need for any weapon combo to get extra buffs. physical builds suck right now.
