NERFED

This build is wasted by the Aug.15 update. With reload speed capped at 100% it only does half dmg of what it did before. The dmg showcase below was pre-nerf dmg. I wish everyone luck that the build you are using wont be the next one that gets nerfed.

The set up for the build remains the same after the nerf.

Damage Showcase

To give you an idea what damage you'll be getting in the end. Not trying to flex(lie)

Worth noting that the double barrel dps varies at a wide range due to it having occasional delay in reload animation giving it a inconsistent firing rate, may be caused by a bug or ping(200ms for me).

Flat dmg on dummy, without any consumable or deviant buff

Dmg on dummy with shellfish food buff(8% additional vulnerability) and butterfly deviant activated:

Dmg and total damage to Ravenous Hunter pro prime war when fighting it with only 3 people

Total dmg are done with 3 shield breaks

Dmg comparison to others when fighting Ravenous Hunter pro with a larger group

Starter Gears

Starchrom-free set to accommodate at the beginning
- 3 piece Falcon
- 2 piece Scout
- Earthly Boots

Mods

Sorry for this mess. Zoom in to not hurt your eyes.

Info not mentioned in the image:

For chest mod, you can use a blue 9% weapon dmg mod for more offense
For glove mods, all of the following works as well. Between them choose the one with best sub stats:
- CRIT AMPLIFIER(+10% crit rate 15% crit dmg)
- MUNITIONS AMPLIFIER(+15% weapon dmg)
- WEAKSPOT DMG BOOST(+25% weakspot dmg)
For mask mods, all of the following works as well. Between them choose the one with best sub stats:
- TARGETED STRIKE(+10% crit rate 25% crit dmg hitting marked targets)
For sub stats, you are looking for: Weapon DMG, Crit DMG, Weakspot DMG, DMG against normal/elite enemies (order ranked by importance)

There is currently a bug with Three Strikes mod. If you fire your gun immediately after reload, it will not take effect, and it only takes effect if you pause a little after the reload before firing. At the moment consider changing leg mod to blue weapon damage or crit mod until they fix this bug.

Cradle Override

6 must have perk.
SPRINT(5% movement speed) is good to have but can be replaced if you need more than 1 slots for your other weapon

Calibration Blueprint

Accessory

Find it here. Burn the vines get the crate.

Shopping List for Complete Armor Sets

For your transition from starter gear to endgame gear.
Ignore what it says about weeks as they are based off the time I'm writing this to my friend.
The priority order to buy your gear with Starchroms and their cost are as following:
1. The double barrel (8000)
2. Four-piece Longwolf set (12000)
3. Seasoned Hunter Leather Boots (8000)
4. One-piece Bastille set (3000)

Just a heads up for everyone, 5 out of 9 builds got nerfed in a month due to incompetence of the devs and failure on beta testing, and they do not offer any compensation or refunds for anyone affected. So try not to treat this game too seriously or invest too much time in it, as your effort are always at risk of being in vain

@Pocky I've tested it before I made this guide and it works. But after some more testing today I can confirm that Three Strikes currently has a bug causing it to not function properly: If you shoot right away with a double barrel after reload, it will not take effect. But if you pause a little after the reload then shoot, it will take effect.
It might not be bug with the mod but rather but with double barrel, as I noticed its reload speed and timing is highly inconsistent. Not sure what's causing it but I reported to the devs hoping they'll fix it soon. Until they do, consider switching leg mod for blue weapon dmg or crit perk for higher dmg.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention led me to notice this bug

That's too much trouble to prove something that's common knowledge which can be verified by anyone. It works, take my word for it. The calibration reduce the mag size to 70% which down to 1 mag, but Longwolf 1 piece effect gives 10% capacity making it 80% back to 2 mag.
Fun fact if you dont use Lonewolf and it gets just 1 shot per mag, that shot will receive the 50% weakspot dmg bonus, making it better than 2 shot mag in a sense since the Three Strike will work 100% of the time instead of half the time. But you definitely need the crit bonus for Lonewolf

Pocky 11 Aug, 2024 @ 7:35am

can you make a clip or recording of the mod working with this? considering that unless your mods grant you enough mag capacity (basically nullifying the calibration downside) you have a single shot. i'm quite doubtful it actually does anything

S.C.P.D. [author] 11 Aug, 2024 @ 12:22am

Three Strikes affects the first 50% of the bullet in the mag up to 3 bullet, for the double barrel with only 2 mag, only the first shot of the double barrel will be affected. If you average out it's a 25% weakspot dmg increase overall which is still pretty darn powerful

Pocky 10 Aug, 2024 @ 5:40pm

how would even three strikes work... doesn't the weapon needs to have 6 shot at least

S.C.P.D. [author] 8 Aug, 2024 @ 12:10pm

After testing I found it does indeed not affect it's damage. I changed and updated the cradle just now, ty for point it out for me.
The in-game wiki(V's presentation) says status damage affect Key Words, which includes Bullseye and led me to think has some sort of affect on it. Turns out not

LostME 8 Aug, 2024 @ 12:01am

Why use status dmg cradle? Is it fire, ice and electricity or am I wrong?

S.C.P.D. [author] 31 Jul, 2024 @ 10:28pm

@twitch.tv/gobrinsan No, it only works on double barrel. A huge amount of damage comes from few buffs that only take effect 3s after reload, and the first few bullet after each reload. Only double barrel can fully benefit from them.

Gobrinsan 31 Jul, 2024 @ 11:44am

would this work with other shotguns?
