My friend (Shot Main) was telling me about how he was struggling to Zooka when he needed it due to the points for Special Nerf; since he knows that I LOVE building gear he asked me to modify his existing gear build so I made a whole google doc for it. Mostly posting this for the sake of having it out there I guess
For some more context he doesn't really care utility subs, and he is extremely scrappy and fight heavy with shot
Yo Yo Yo was thinking about your Lack of Tri-Zooka problem you mentioned the other day
I think for how you play shot you kind of have 2 options if you want to get similar to how it was before the Nerf
The first one is
- Your normal build but gives up a Sub-Saver and a Swim Speed for it being back to 190p (maybe you could replace an Intesify action sub but it would probably feel way worse to play as a result)
- Having one less Sub of Swim Speed and Sub-Saver might be rough though idk
- Build 1 is your Current Build (in Images Below)
- Build 2 is my Proposed Build
The second one
- would be pretty different from what you normally run but I think ComeBack could be pretty helpful to you since it gives all the abilities in the 2nd image (of this message)
- For the first 20 seconds of your respawn (unless you die in water or fall off an edge)
- The main benefit of it for Shot is the Special Charge Up so you get Zooka easier on Respawn (and you get Zooka as an immediate pressure tool against longer-range options like Chargers and Swords)
- As a side note for the ComeBack build you might want a different utility sub than QSJ I would recommend Special Saver or Ink Resistance
- You probably Don’t want to use Ink Recovery Up with your playstyle it wouldn’t likely be worth it at all
- You could also just use another sub of Swim Speed but I feel like ComeBack’s Main of Swim Speed balances it out a little where you won’t feel it as much all the time
On the note of making these builds, you could just use the Comeback Build for modes like Rain and Tower which typically snowball and are fast-paced with a lot of deaths and kills
Like you could still primarily use your old build and depending on the map or mode switch to the 2 builds I’ve presented
(or as a pocket build whenever you want to change it up a bit)
Sorry if this is a bit much building gear and thinking like this is kinda of an obsession I have me thinks
