Did Someone Say DPM?

DescriptionGreat build if you want to keep these accurate guns cycling, whether it be behind cover or in the open water. Got 341,957 damage with this build, so yeah... if big damage numbers make you happy, you should consider this build. (If you're free-to-play, replace Lightful with Lemonnier or Mikawa; you need some element of stealth to be able to reposition, whether that be by going undetected quicker or getting spotted less.)
