I made this build right after you first introduced it. I kinda tweaked it to give me a lil durability. 2 Belstone: mask and chest w/ glass canon 3 legmo: backpack/kneepads/holster Contractors. Armor regen on 4 pieces w/ armor on kill Gunner spec 1.2 mil tick! Thanks bro!
I used to be a hard fan of Striker build. Your builds have always defied every build I've seen on TH-cam. Now, I am convinced the striker is not the best build. It's why I watch your videos. Keep it up and keep it real 😊
Great video. have shared it with my clan discord. Couple of guys want to run LMGs and I have shown them this because it is fun. Great video and great message at the end. I was literally saying exactly this last night. It is a looter shooter. Slow down and target the bullet sponge to build your stacks and relax. Keep it up!
Thank you for showing me this awesome LMG build. it really does work with all LMGs, i am running it with "Quiet Roar" on chellanging Summit right now and it is a lot of fun. Definitely my favourite build. Thank you again for showing this fun build.
Loved this video. Great ticks on the Pestilence!! It's always been my favorite LMG next to the GR9 with Negotiators. I'll give your bud a run as I was searching for a great defender drone build as Lengmo offers 30% skl health and wanted to stack as much skill health as possible to keep the drone up while tanking. Thanks for the great gameplay video!
I like your outlook on this 5 year old game and wholeheartedly agree. Will definitely make this build go with sawyers keeps because it sits my style of play. Subscribed.
Yeah Striker is good but im sick with many ytbr claiming their build is the best specially since incursion was introduced to the game 90% is about striker build
personally i love running pestilence without crits because its not needed at all. getting weapon handling and armor regen on every piece is so insanely strong because u can heal for free in cover wile everything is dying and shooting a lot of bullets and killing slower because of no crits is actually better more often. also weapon handling on every piece even makes the pestilence move like a smooth fammas
Decided to give this a try so picked up the pieces the other week but only put it together yesterday. Nothing is maxed, still to resource it up but really enjoying it & being lazy at times 😂 Nice build & thanks for the through explanation 👍🏻 I’ve never been one for a LMG build let alone, “class cannon”. Hate to say it but you’ve changed my mind with this build 😜 Like you say, play it smart 🤙🏻
I got this build already and have say the double red on legmo was the hardest things in a long time get but everything is level max on build and it slaps
Ive been running this build for 3 months now after posting it on reddit. Ive tweaked mine to now run coyotes and have a lengmo glass canon chest. All red everywhere. Went for highest crit combined with highest tick combo.Ticks at 1.57m and is a blast.
My group wiped the other day and I got the blame for triggering the start of the conflict, the other three guys were running six red cores and charged the NPC's as they spawned with shields up, their shields broke, they got melted and I got the blame. Armour cores exist for a reason. So does cover. Well said Soak.
Some nice ticks there. Personally though, I only run all around builds. I think the things they need to do is kill enemies, destroy non-human things, be viable during emp, and be able to take down hunters/rogue agents. I only run builds that can do all of those things solo. I think this pestilence build can do that, but hunters or rogue agents might get some lucky shots or skills on you once in a while
Interesting way to play, is most certainly effective! But don’t think I could manage it. It’s a personal reason, that being the same reason I don’t use skill builds, I find it dull sitting there and letting something else do my work for me. An argument can be made for, work smarter not harder and whatnot, but I like my DPS and active engagement, I do indeed use Stryker! In my defence it’s not your typical Stryker build, it’s four piece with backpack, closer chest, nightwatcher mask, all red, scanner pulse, primary weapon is the St Elmo’s.
Run Sawyer's knee pads instead of foxes and run vigilance instead of perfect Unstoppable Force and you can get upwards of 1.7 mil ticks. I have two versions of this build... one with repair skills and explosive resistance for solo legendary missions and one build with weapon handling and repair skills for openworld Heroic. I run fixer drone and decoy or Riot foam. Also use incoming repair mods as they multiply your repair for survivability
@insanedeception yes explosive resistance and repair skills on all the pieces four legendary. In the open world you can keep running vigilance or swap to perfectly Unstoppable Force and run weapon handling and repair skills or whatever you like to be honest
Thank you! I love lmg's. Do you take requests please? If so is there a solo dps build to use with St E#Lmos you can make? I have tried all variations of strikers since so popular but I am a slow to react player so need a bit of chunkiness to withstand a few extra hits while I'm busy finding cover. Replacing some of the strikers reds with blues/unbreakable chest/ etc but I think its the basic playstyle of strikers that for me provides no benefits so looking for good suggestion for other starting point. I know there is a lot of info on the interwebs already but its hard for me to separate the wheat from the chaff. TY
I have a question. How are you getting the Lengmo to drop with 2 red minors?, and 3 pieces of them at that. I am only getting multicolor with a blue main....thx for the build vid.
Someone compare this build to a ninja build with contractors, w/h glass, pacarios, lengmo 2 piece. I wanna know the sustained damage from 6 reds, 2 blues, and 1 yellow with this build and see if having the 2nd and 3rd pieces is far off. Mine has a few weapon handling rolls for a laser and reload speed. Am sure it's off by some, but not much. The crit matters only some qith this build as your building it for the plague tics. Thanks.
Me: *picks up Backbone. Thinks "I can use this talent with my Dark Winter." Goes to TH-cam for ideas. Comes across this video. Gets ready to grind countdown for all red Lengmo pieces 😂😂😂
@@SoakDisko I have the blueprint for Lengmo, but I've burned through too many resources to get the right piece. Then when you get the right piece, its stats are horrible.
Did the pestilence stacking change? It was my favorite gun in the game- I’m still giving it a chance-When shooting a yellow if it doesn’t die I can’t reapply the Debuff
Bro, I haven't seen 1.5M ticks in a minute. I love Pesti too, so I'm digging it back out. Maybe dudes will even stop running shields on easy content like scrubs.. doubt it though. 🤣
@SoakDisko played for hours on countdown. You must have got extremely lucky. The fact that it's a gear set for lmg damage but only rolls with armor is ridiculous.
Some say obliterate, however thats damage based on critcal hits. Glass cannon isnt bad when u get used to it. But any chest you feel comfortable with is what matters at the end ☺️
@@martinmiller3765 ahhh, just run a LMG with a higher RPM, like the iron lung. The pesty just does its thing on any DPS build besides strikers i think 🤔
What the hell, non-striker build and a glass cannon?!?!? At last, something original and fun to use xD Also, do you think farming control point is more profitable (xp-wise) than just completing open world activities such as execution/propaganda/elite control?
Just a small nitpick. You say you dont run sawyers cuz you dont like being stationary but the gameplay footage is full of stationary moments where if the idea is to let the tick do the damage, sawyers would be better there. Otherwise the build is great. Just good luck on that godroll legmo named backpack. Gonna need that luck for me farming that beaut
I'd just leave Striker builders, you're better than them and you knew that 😂😂😂 By the way, I still see your name on top of DH Raid completions. Any reaction video?😂

I used glass cannon in most of my build for immersive feels. High risk high reward making me to become more strategic in every combat
Same. It makes it feel like i have be tactical instead of rushing and regen everything. Basically like a sniper as well but lmgs.
Thanks for the video that is the point having fun in the game ggs 👍

This looks like really fun build!! Have to try.
used to run glass cannon with bakers dozen back in the day. true ways of looter shooter. then.. came striker..
Pestilence is the best hands down!!! Thank you for sharing and I run a walker chest with obliterate

You can also try sawyer's kneepads for extra %30 damage when you sit in cover
This build slaps man. Use Petrov holster, palisade knees red crit damage hit chance, Longmo obliterate. Palisade gives aok. It just works.
This is great for daily, weekly and summit projects for exotic components.
I run it for 5 directive control point smashing, missions, all things solo it works great 💯
Thank u for another build bredren I've been trying to make build with legmo. Good looking ✊🏿✊🏿

how many yellow and blue attributes do you roll on the gear? Every spot you can? Or do you keep some Crit Chc and Dmg still? (for solo legendary)

I have a question. How are you getting the Lengmo to drop with 2 red minors?, and 3 pieces of them at that. I am only getting multicolor with a blue main....thx for the build vid.
A bunch of countdown runs, and crafting then optimization lol. The mask and holster were just crafted untill i got the right 2 minors
@@SoakDisko Been rollin the Countdown, but with no joy, but haven't tried the crafting, will try that def....thx
Same here, multiple countdown runs and never 2 reds on Lengmo... It's been a while I was so frustrated by grind.
@@Kelzen Try the Crafting as Soak mentioned, it worked, and I got them.
Love the pestilence!!!!
Gonna try this build fo sho.
#BigTickEnergy
lmao that BTE
Lengmo, all red???🤔how is it possible??? Thank u for another build
I wonder if you can run the rugged gloves so you can cover fire without ever even having to pop your head out
Doubt id replace the petrov contractors, but the gauntlets dont let you zoom in

Was thinking of running glass canon on something with "armor on kill". Not sure if it's a good idea or not.
ofc it is, as long as ur AOK build is balanced :)

It different somehow, still works but seems a bit different at times

lengmo makes it easy now
Got the same build, made one just after you made one weeks ago 😂😂😂
Ran count down 20 times and didn't see a single peice that had 2 reds on lengmo
Yea it can be a pain, but it will come up ventually
@SoakDisko played for hours on countdown. You must have got extremely lucky. The fact that it's a gear set for lmg damage but only rolls with armor is ridiculous.
How do you get it ?
Wonder if I should get in cover ? 😂
I can’t stop using glass cannon
Ok any alternative to glass cannon??
Some say obliterate, however thats damage based on critcal hits. Glass cannon isnt bad when u get used to it. But any chest you feel comfortable with is what matters at the end ☺️
I'd classify this as a Pestilence DoT buld rather than LMG build.
It has 4 LMG pieces on it, so can be used for all LMGs, but yea the pesty works great on it 😅
@@SoakDisko Sure, but then you'd need to be out of cover a lot and without any self-sustain that's not viable in my experience.
@@martinmiller3765 ahhh, just run a LMG with a higher RPM, like the iron lung. The pesty just does its thing on any DPS build besides strikers i think 🤔
@@SoakDisko I'll try but i always just got shredded whenever I used full dps builds.
What the hell, non-striker build and a glass cannon?!?!?
At last, something original and fun to use xD
Also, do you think farming control point is more profitable (xp-wise) than just completing open world activities such as execution/propaganda/elite control?
If it ain't strikers, I gotta argue with you.

In the clips im just demonstrating is why, most of the time you will be a lot more mobile in many areas or other activties :)

By the way, I still see your name on top of DH Raid completions. Any reaction video?😂

and expertise 23 has nothing to do with it....
