Mom's old age and sickness has turned her into a Glass Cannon. She can't see too well either, so forget about ADSing. This is a build for the field medics out there who enjoy shooting enemies more than bandaging allies. You're the one in charge of calling out special mutated ridden for the squad and preventing damage by making sure they're dead before they reach the team.
STRENGTHS
This is the perfect build for groups who don't quite need a dedicated healer, but would benefit from simply having Support Scavenger. Though you're built for damage, you'll also be able to find bandages and pills everywhere to keep your team healthy, and you won't even notice Glass Cannon's drawback once you've healed yourself as an Experienced EMT. Ammo Stash is important to pickup to alleviate disputes over ammo. Make sure you're marking enemies and tagging them with a shotgun or SMG to get those damage boosts up for your team.
WEAKNESSES
This build doesn't handle surprise hordes very well, and naturally with any Glass Cannon build, you need to play somewhat carefully and strategically. More than that, although the accuracy cards will carry you somewhat, you still need to have great (consistent) aim. There's no healing efficiency in this build. Your team cannot be taking too much damage, as you're not a full-on doctor. They need to know that you're playing offense, or support to the support, not the main support.
NOTES
I'm toying with Group Therapy and Mag Coupler right now, and they both work amazingly well in this deck. Under circumstances better than your random public game, you could easily drop Front Sight Focus and Ammo Stash. I've had a lot more success with this deck in public games instead of using the dedicated healer build because this one can rely on its offensive capabilities to assist the team.
SUGGESTED ALTERNATE CARDS to use until you unlock the ones you are missing
Group Therapy, Mag Coupler, Confident Killer, Poultice, Pep in Your Step, Field Surgeon
CHARACTER
This build is specifically made for Mom but it works with anyone to a lesser degree since it fills both a damage and a support role. It works great with Doc if you want to further the support aspect, but you can also play as Jim, Walker, or Karlee if you're more interested in offense.
PRIMARY WEAPON
Any sniper rifle can work, but the Phoenix is my preference. Mom also starts with an always excellent choice, the Ranch Rifle.
SECONDARY WEAPON
Any gun can work, but Mom's default Belgian is my preference.
