Good Starting Munitions Build

By

I’ve become absolutely enamoured with Munitions.  Its an extremely strong soloing framework has some really awesome weapon/costumer pieces and has great damage.  It is also currently one of the strongest builds in the Hero Games.  Read More for what my build is and Why I picked what I did.

Superstats:
Level 5: Super Dexterity
Level 13: Super Ego

Powers:
Level 1: Gunslinger
This is your Endurance builder.  Its ranged and that’s a great things.  I think all builds should have ranged end builders.

Level 1: Two-Gun Mojo — Accelerated Metabolism
This comes standard with the Munitions build its a decent maintain single target damage and great damage to get through the Tutorial.

Level 5: Shotgun Blast — Rank 2
This is an extremely efficient and powerful attack.  It has a 30 degree cone AoE and a chance for knock back.  It has great spammable potential and I suggest not getting breaching round its currently going through a series of nerfs and won’t be very useful besides you can usually get your intended knockback just by spamming shotgun blast.

Level 5: Flight — Rank 2, Rank 3
This is just what I prefer.  Honestly pick what ever fits your play style of character.

Level 8: Mini Mines — Wall Of Fire, Rank 2
This is your Bread and Butter Damage attack it is an extremely strong PBAoE and with wall of fire it is insane.  Even with the Damage Reduction nerf to wall of fire it is still worth taking

Level 11: Regeneration
If your going to do alot of soloing this is a must have.  If used right you will become extremely hard to kill and makes Henchmen not hurt at all.

Level 14: Gatling Gun — Listen To Reason, Rank 2
This is an Excellent ranged AoE  its damage is on par with Assault rifle and has an AoE Cone.  Also listen to reason gives it a 15% chance for a fear effect.


Level 17: Lead Tempest — Tread Softly, Rank 2

This is the Damage Attack when your ready to create some chaos.  It does have a chance to not do anything but more often then not everything will be dead once your done.  And the Dodge chance increase through advantages is not bad either.

Level 20: Lock And Load

Reduces Munition Power costs.  Thats always a good thing unfortunately everything that is not munitions becomes more expensive.  But imo it is totally worth it.

Level 23: Resurgence — Rank 2, Rank 3
Again this is a great ability for soloing and for when you pull Aggro from your tank.  This is an extremely powerful self heal.

Level 26: Nanobot Swarm — Rejuvenating Injectors, Rank 2
It reduces all cooldowns by 30 seconds when activated.  Pretty self explainatory here.

Level 29: Smoke Bomb
An aggro wipe.  Also great in PVP because it causes attacker to lose target

Level 32: Immolation — Rank 2, Rank 3
It increases all damage and has a small AoE when activated.  More damage for a DPS Spec is always good.

Talents:
Level 1: Quick Trigger
Level 6: Jack Of All Trades
Level 9: Command Training
Level 12: Paramilitary Training
Level 15: Discipline Training
Level 18: Sniper Training
Level 21: Field Ops Training

I choose my superstats to be Dex and Ego because more crits that crit harder are great.  For my talents I stayed away from my super stats as best as possible.  And picked up all the talents with multiple stats on it.  I don’t claim this is the best Munitions build.  I’m sure someone is going to tell me why it isn’t.  But it is a great starting spot.

On another note I didn’t list powers I would pick from 32-40 that is because I was only focusing on what was needed for munitions.  You can pick pretty much whatever tickles your fancy in those levels.  You really can’t do wrong.

Greetings

Thanks for posting this Deeds. I just made my first Munitions Character “Sarge” and really had no idea how I was going to build him, as I really only have had experience with Melee builds and one Electricity.
Look forward to poppin’ some caps.

Cheers

@ Freshrod Glad I could help so far Munitions has been my favorite build to play with and that wasn’t because everyone viewed it as over powered to start with. I just like going in guns a blazing and thought it was really cool.
