User:DISSA/Heavy Gunner

Description
This is a purely offensive Roland. This focuses on laying a barrage of heavy weapons fire and bringing out his turret as quickly as possible. Roland never runs out of ammo and grenades with Supply drop. Cauterize grants him some healing ability but clearly not as good as Medic builds. This build is only possible when you acquired the extra 2 skill points from the Underdome.

Strategy and Equipment
-Use your turret to draw fire/attention and stay behind cover or jump around to avoid getting hit. Roland is not a tank. He is a SHOOTER, and shooting is what he does best. -Get a decent Heavy Gunner class mod. Ideally one with a high mag capacity and fire rate bonus. -Shotguns are great. SCATTERSHOT makes them even better. -You can divert the 4 skill points from Assault to other skills if you feel like 36% recoil reduction and mag capacity doesn't make any difference...(it does to me, that's why i have it. and i use TORGUE machineguns mostly). Likewise, you can replace supply drop if there's a Support Gunner around. -You only need 1 point on Overload. The Heavy Gunner mod already has an insane magazine capacity bonus. 5/5 Overload is Overkill ^_^. Some of those points should go somewhere else.
