Deep Rock Galactic can be an addicting game, the simple yet also complex premise of going into missions, doing objectives and shooting bugs all to go back to base and drink and party is just perfect. The game may only have 4 classes but with those classes come different weapons and those weapons have different upgrades that you can get. That means there’s a lot of different possible builds to do, and that can be confusing for new players. In this guide we’ll show you some of the best builds for the Gunner Class in Deep Rock Galactic.
Deep Rock Galactic: 5 Gunner Builds For Every Situation
Walk softly and carry a big gun is what the Gunner class is all about. The best damage dealer in the team this class’ job is to lay down the pain and perform the most in terms of bug extermination. They can also help the team with ziplines and such but mainly they’re here to destroy! Here are some great builds for the Gunner.
General Purpose Build
Starting with a more general purpose build, this one can take on a wide range of missions. The Hurricane Guided Rocket System with the Overtuned Feed Mechanism Overclock will make this gun great at all ranges and you can either follow the build above or maximize your ammo with the ammo upgrades. The BRT7 Burst Fire Gun will be your secondary which is still pretty generalized and works at any range with any enemy.
Single Target Build
Next is a single target build with the Lead Storm Powered Minigun with the Lead Storm Overclock. This can have massive DPS that can melt through any single target with ease. Combined with the Armskore Coil Gun with The Mole Oveclock and you can basically kill anything from the comfort of behind a wall with overclock that lets you shoot through obstacles!
Crowd Control Build
For the crowd control build you’ll want the Thunderhead Heavy Autocannon with the Neurotoxin Payload, the autocannon is basically your go to crowd control weapon for the class. This build has a lot of AOE and DoT along with the Armskore Coil Gun with the Hellfire Overclock just to clear those crowds faster!
Ammo Build
As a gunner you usually don’t have any ammo problem, but if you really don’t want to have any problems with ammo this is the build for you. The Thunderhead Heavy Autocannon with the Composite Drums overclock just gives you all the ammo you need and the Armskore Coil Gun with the Backfeeding Module Overclock gives you even more!
Fun Build
The fun build is subjective and really it depends on what you want. For this build we’ll be going with the Lead Storm Powered Minigun with the Bullet Hell Overclock, this build has a massive bullet spread which is just funny but has a chance of bouncing into random enemies. With the Magic Bullet overclock for the Bulldog Heavy Revolver you don’t even have to aim as well!
