POP POP POP Rocket Spam Human Soldier Build!
Alright, I've been having a blast with this one nyuk nyuk. This is a real team synergy kind of build - as with most of my builds, I focus on fun, creative builds that work well with others. It's great for crowd control, but you'll need some heavy hitters on the team to make work of the big un's. It'll stagger whole waves like it's nothin' so that your team can make short work of crowds, but if you get a bad team where everyone's fragmented and doing their own stuff, this build loses it's usefulness fast.
Adrenaline Skip!
Concussive Shot Force, Recharge, Hammer
Frag Grenade Damage, Max Grenades, Armor Piercing
Alliance Training All power and weapon weight
Fitness Not melee
Weapon Falcon with extended clip and extended barrel
The secret is alternating concussive shot with Falcon blasts as fast as possible. There's some zen to hitting the timing. As soon as your concussive shot launches, focus on your next target with the Falcon. You'll have a very impressive barrage going.
If there's more than two enemies around, I alternate my shots, keeping them all constantly staggered. I usually start with a concussive shot rather than a Falcon, since if I don't need an immediate follow up shot, I can launch another concussive instead, staving off a reload. However, if you're loading cryo rounds, you obviously want to flip that routine. Also, choose according to context - a fast moving enemy that might dodge a concussive can be staggered with the much faster Falcon blast first. And of course concussive is great for getting around cover.
Try it with your friend running a vanguard and you can plow through whole crowds!
Edit: As some people pointed out, this build definitely needs a good ammo mod. Also, while I use this for gold, if you're not experienced working tightly with a team and you're just jumping into golds, there's more survivable builds - for the experienced, this is meant to be a fun build to experiment with different gameplay.
