User:Schreierj/Solid Snake

This is based on how I played Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid 4 (love the M14EBR and the SOCOM pistol) ... basically it focuses on sniper rifle skills combined with pistol fire.

I really noticed that Loaded made a big difference in how I used my sniper rifles - made them much more effective in actual combat so I chose that over Riotous Remedy ... if you have a health regen shield, I find killing badguys much more important than a little healing ...

As far as weapons ... I just use weapons that benefit from the build ...

1 Sniper Rifle (biggest can find with elemental damage and reasonable rate of fire)

2 Revolvers (big damage + different elements)

1 Machine pistol (use against little guys that are way too fast to aim)

Grenade Mod - Transfusion (healing = good ... especially in cases where you need to start throwing grenades ... means they're way too close)

Shield - biggest w/ good regen speed and health regen

Class Mod - Gunslinger or Sniper .... preferably both (have 1 of each w/ ammo regen - swap as needed and as used)

Ideal equipment:

Sniper Rifle - Maliwan Volcano (http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Maliwan_Volcano)

Revolver 1 - Atlas Chimera (http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Atlas_Chimera)

Revolver 2 - Tediore Equalizer (http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Tediore_Equalizer)

Machine Pistol - S&S Thanatos (http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/S%26S_Thanatos)

Class Mod - Gunslinger AND Sniper, both with ammo regen and best stats otherwise (http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Class_Mods#Hunter)
