The Cryo Claymore Commando (Human Infiltrator) {An Update}

So about a month ago I presented a Claymore Commando that was meant to debuff and assassinate enemies one by one. It was nice and useful at the time, but times have changed.

Thanks to a few buffs in the weekly changes, I have altered the build to be better suited at assassinating enemies. So here is the new build that I use currently. I'll explain the logic behind the changes next.

For easy comparison, this is the old one and this is the modified one.

So what changed?

I now have Grenade Capacity V- I had this for a while, but it really synergizes well with the next relevant change.

Sticky Grenades had their damage buffed- I mean, they have been buffed a lot. Combining this with me taking power damage evolutions in Alliance Training, I would guess the grenades now do double the damage with this build than the previous build at that time.

Two Sticky Grenades in Tactical Cloak, or a Sticky Grenade and Claymore Shot with some equipment, can kill a Brute on Gold. Those grenades are quite potent.

Cryo Blast got a buff, especially in its evolutions- Granted, I only made one change (Cryo Explosion to Speed Reduction), but I found Speed Reduction to be more useful than the small damage buff I got with Cryo Explosion.

Mastery of reload cancelling and versatility of Duration Cloak- With my newly acquired mastery of reload cancelling with the Claymore, I felt that having that extra 40% damage wasn't necessary because I could quickly fire another shot off to finish an enemy. I view the Cloak Duration upgrade as more useful because it helps doing objectives, reviving teammates, and maneuvering for the right shot.

Making this, I kinda feel bad for kojak2091 because I don't know how he will handle this in his list o' builds thread, which should get put on the sidebar sooner rather than later. NOT THAT I AM SUGGESTING THAT A PERSON WHO IS NAMED AFTER A TYPE OF SAUCE TO HELP WITH THAT.

So yeah, have fun, post in comments, and all that. No pressure though, on the having fun part. NO I WILL FORCE YOU TO HAVE FUN. HAVE FUN HAVE FUN HAVE FUN.

I think this may be evidence of me needing a Reddit curfew after midnight. That would probably be for the best for my clarity of thought.

Addendum- The AT-12 Raider.

So this gun, which was just released, is basically a Piranha and Claymore mixed together. It has some advantages over the Claymore, namely better burst damage, clip capacity, and ammo capacity. The Raider does have inferior accuracy and damage per bullet. To compare, the Raider is better suited for small maps like Glacier and Reactor where low accuracy is acceptable due to the tight nature of the maps, while the Claymore is better suited for more open maps like Giant and Dagger, where accuracy is highly valued.

Basically, the Raider has more raw power while the Claymore has more efficiency in bullet damage and accuracy. Choose as you wish.
