Intro
The build works on the DOMINATING difficulty. SMG builds are as of Feb 2018 one of the most powerful.
We use crafting extensively for the additional versatility and actually good items. Vendor items are

Base attribute consideration
- Dexterity: Put 10 at character creation. Either level up to 15 and use Eel Sandwiches for combat. See below for the the attribute's importance.
- Intelligence: Either start at 6 for the Eel Sandwich variation, or 7 and end up with 16 Dexterity as per above.
Feats to avoid
These feats look beneficial, but only superficially. There are too many good feats to use one of these.
- Aimed Shot: The critical damage increase for all SMG types is low as well. Also the single-shot damage is very low. Only good when using a proper sidearm. See below for item discussion.
- Rapid Fire, Point Shot: We're focusing on burst fire AP cost. Better take more crafting feats.
- Suppressive Fire: Debatable. May help with kiting HP-sponge types on the DOMINATING difficulty, but Nimble has more all-around benefits.
Feats discussion
These feats are important:
- Spec Ops: Lowers Burst cost from 3x single-shot to 2x single-shot. This feat and 16 Dexterity allows for 3 bursts per turn (before additional modifiers). This is without Adrenaline Shot which itself is heavily recommended before opening up.
- Commando: This late-mid-game feat provides yet another burst per turn, provided any enemy died during aforementioned three bursts.
- Sprint: Necessary despite lack of direct combat utility. See section below.
- Expertise: Increases damage a ton in mid- to late-game. Overall SMG damage is low. At level 12 with example average damage of 20, the increase is a bit over fifty percent.
- Ambush: TODO
