Each line upgrades one ability. Under each rank: what that rank costs on top of the one before, and the roster level it asks for. Click a rank in the tree above to read it.
Starting abilities
OnslaughtEach attack within a single turn grants this Operator +1 Blaster Damage. This bonus applies only to attacks with this Operator's primary blaster.Builds that run Gunslinger
Each one is the focus in the order it is spent, within the 24 focus an operator earns in a campaign, and each opens in the build planner with its ranks, weapon, mods and utility items set.
The chain
A blaster pistol fires for 1 AP without limit, and every Gunslinger starts with Onslaught, +1 blaster damage for each attack made in the turn. Quick Draw is a 1 AP sidearm shot on top of that, and Keen Eye at rank three is +12% critical chance on every ranged attack. So the loop is: shoot the weakest enemy first, let the damage climb, and put the last shot into the one that matters.
Scout second for the fuel and the accuracy. The Spotter marks anything the pistol damages, which strips range and smoke penalties from the follow-ups; Tactical Timing turns kills into Advantage; Open Fire spends that Advantage on two more shots without touching AP, and Ambush on one big one. A recruit can be built for this at Recruitment on day one.
Quick Draw the enemy with the least health, again if it fell, then Open Fire or the pistol into the elite once Onslaught has stacked.
The mods are the action economy: a Cycler is a chance to refund the AP after each shot, the Ergonomic adds damage after the first attack, the Capacitor adds damage on the opening turn, and the Auto-Scope negates cover.
