Bossing - Pure Rifle / Dual Calibers

***Lockpicking Lockpicking has been nerfed and you no longer need lockpicking or a key to open Boss Rooms, so you can replace lockpicking with another skill if you want to.***

This is a very good jack-of-all build / bossing set up. It is however quite a bit trickier to gear for appropriately. The idea here is to use a double rifle setup with one 7.62 and one 5.56. You want to stack enough headshot damage + Damage vs Infected + Damage vs Mutated to reach one-shotting capabilites on most/all normal zombies whilst maintaining high boss killing potential. This is to maximize ammo cost-effiency and still have a build that can tackle everything in the game comfortably.

Reloading or Quickshot

IV

The main tradeoffs here are the loss of Quickshot and Reloading. Losing Quickshot is fairly inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, but reloading is a bit more impactful. One can still boss effectively on base rifle reload speeds, but it is trickier. You could alleviate this by having a reloading stat roll somewhere on your gear. However, this is very difficult to fit in since you are already straining your gear to have double Damage vs X stats.

All in all a very rewarding build, but also quite pricy and not new / inexperienced player friendly.
