- minmax build based around "Two is One and One is None" with shotgun/rifle combo, works optimally on Hoffman.
- recommend the AA 12 + AK47. AA12 is best for dumping tons of damage into mutations/bosses, AK for almost everything else.
- with Hoffman you shouldn't be short on ammo at any point. Buckshot Bruiser should help with early health.
- ALWAYS utilize admin reload once you have it and never manually reload. AA12 is best for this as it's instant rather than per-shell.
- RECOMMENDED: rebind your "reload" key to "weapon switch" and rebind your "aim down sights" key to crouch. once you have "Hunker Down" you should ALWAYS be crouching to fire.
- also: can swap out rifle cards for either sniper/SMG/LMG cards, but rifle+shotgun seems to have the most benefit.
update: swapped out combat knife and vanguard in exchange for Mag Coupler and Killer's Instinct. the reload speed from mag coupler DOES affect the admin reload speed and drastically lowers weapon downtime.
