Builds are broken down by their primary function. However, this does not mean that a build under the “Gun DPS” tag ONLY uses guns. The tags are set up so that we can organize builds based on what their biggest strength is. This should make it easier for people to find a build archetype that they want to play with.

You MUST have a thread or cloud document dedicated to your build. Just a video showcasing it isn’t enough.
Tips and Tricks for an AWESOME build write up
Here are a few key things to have on your dedicated page, thread or document for your build.
- Have either a screenshot or a link to a skill calculator with the build set up
- Describe what the build is intended for
- If your build requires or is dependent on a certain gear set up, list needed gear items, and if you can how to acquire said items.
- Be descriptive. The more information you provide about your build, the better. Describe why you’ve chosen the skills you have, why the gear or weapons you have listed are a ‘Must Have’, even videos of the build in action. Anything helps people make a better-informed decision on your build and if it’s something they might like to try.
