Bolter is Better

Its a bolter build with focus target and frag/bleed grenades

you sacrifice the cool kid’s damage perks like skirmisher or agile engagement to maximize your quality of life and defensive capabilities, you will be a tank amongs terracotta pots

you can still get your 2million damages if you game hard enough so it hardly matters, with the caveat that you won’t die at the first poxburster that your team mate will pop on your face

The crux of this build was to work on a bolter build that had both +25 toughness nodes, you’ll end up with 152 hp and 141 toughness on level 40s

but if you are a spergie like me you can lower your toughness to 140 by using a 16% blessed curio

when you are swarmed by rotten armors elites you apply your bleed stacks with grenades (and most importantly you stun them) and finish them off with your duelling sword, its pretty simple

Interesting… With swapping PS for DS you don’t need the Trench Fighter Drill…
Does the +15% base damage really make a difference (I mean as for breaking points in Havoc)?

i started playing this with power sword, but being able to fly around and 1 tap shotgunners and scab gunners with your DS its just.. better

i love it, i can’t count the times puncture finish off those specials with that, dreg gunners still need 2 shots though, that can’t be helped, unless you are at max pinning fire stacks, then maybe you have a chanche to one shot them
reapers die with 3 headshots, doesn’t matter how jacked up they are

its the best attempt to conjure up a ranged build for havoc, that doesn’t rely too much on grenade spam

i would say it influence your bleed aswell but i’d rather equip my melee and farm uncanny strike stacks to pump my bleed

Since I’ve got demoted from Havoc 33 to 22, I think I’ll test it out.
What could possibly go wrong?
It’s not like I’m gonna get demoted to single digits… right?

that sond tragic situation, i can help out with my zealot if you want

I’d love that.

bro your bulild works, just did 2 million damage on my vet with it

provided there wasn’t any psyker in the game

I have almost same build, I prefer Weapon Specialist as it helps the reload speed.
I too use 4 Sprint Efficiency ! on each curio and even on the bolter.
I even add Reload Speed on the bolter, so I have none fire power added on it (but this spacemarine tool is still very powerfull as is).
I think all these small things make the runs more pleasant with this so heavy weapon (I guess its vanilia so slow use is why it’s almost not chosen in the builds).
