Really good damage, but for open world damage is not all that matters, and it's quite hard to play properly. Condi mechanist is generally better since the mech will tank most enemies for you and the build is much simpler to use.
5 stars
Starlitjupiter gave this build 5 stars • July 2023
cHolo is one of the highest DPS options in the game at the moment, especially for solo. It has a difficult rotation but the potential damage it deals and the versatility it brings is incredible for open world players that like a more complex class.
