00:00A lot of people are asking what build am I using during the Red Moon Rising event and here it
00:05is.
00:05In my opinion, it's the only build that you need.
00:08It is super strong, super powerful and a little bit broken when it comes to Phoebe.
00:12We'll explain as we go.
00:14Obviously, there's loads of builds that you can use during this event, but this is what I've been using in
00:18the stream.
00:18And this is where loads of people are asking what am I using.
00:21So here's the video.
00:22It is a hotshot build.
00:24It's from a normal hotshot build.
00:26I have a hotshot build with two Eroldi pieces and I use Supreme Madonna.
00:30I have altered it a little bit, though, with the Iron Will.
00:34So we've got four-piece hotshot, mask, gloves, knees and holster.
00:38These have all got headshot damage on, so have headshot damage rolled.
00:42And it doesn't matter if it's prototype or non-prototype, so we're not going to talk about the augments.
00:46And it's in the PVDZ we've been using this, which is all normalized anyway.
00:50It's the Iron Will chest piece, the exotic chest piece.
00:53You know how this works.
00:54It's every two seconds you're guaranteed a headshot, no matter where you shoot the target.
00:58And then the weapon I'm using is the Prima Donna.
01:01Now, I know not everybody's got the Prima Donna, and your next question is, if I don't have the Prima
01:05Donna, what should I use?
01:06I don't know how effective this build is going to be without the Prima Donna, because this sniper rifle is
01:13so OP.
01:14It's brilliant.
01:15I don't even have the third attribute that I want on it.
01:18And, yeah, I think the health damage is definitely helping me know when it comes to Phoebe.
01:22And with this, you're basically invincible while you've got stacks, which is very good.
01:26That's what makes this sniper rifle so good.
01:29And then you've got lots of amplified damage as well.
01:31So we're using the Prima Donna.
01:32If you don't have one, the two snipers I think I'm going to recommend to try with this build to
01:37see if you can replicate some of it.
01:40Is either the White Death or the Shroud, the Exotic Shroud.
01:44I think those snipers will also work well on this build.
01:47However, you're not going to have the invincibility factor, which is a big thing with the Prima Donna.
01:52So bear that in mind.
01:54Secondary doesn't matter.
01:55Sidearm, quick step for obvious reasons, getting around fast.
01:58But that's the build.
01:59Sharpshooter specialization for all the perks that gives the sniper rifle.
02:02So I've got a decoy.
02:03I've got a revive hive.
02:04I'm now going to show you why this build is so good and why a lot of people have been
02:08asking what I've been using.
02:10While doing the PvE, DZ and taking on Phoebe.
02:13So we're just coming to our landmark to show the power of this build.
02:16It's a challenging landmark just so you can see.
02:19I'm going to have a few waves here and you'll see how good it is.
02:23You don't even need to aim for the head.
02:25And you've just got to practically one shot everything pretty much.
02:30Just like that.
02:31So it makes taking on landmarks very, very easy.
02:35Obviously that's every two seconds with the Iron Will.
02:38You might want to aim for some heads sometimes.
02:41But yeah.
02:44Remember we've got the invincibility factor as well.
02:46So we can take some bullets.
02:48And when you're playing a little bit more comfortable.
02:50You can do a little bit of face tanking with this if you want to.
02:54Face tanking with a sniper I know.
02:56But everything is just one shot.
02:58Pretty much all the time.
03:02And it's really, really easy to use.
03:05So easy to use.
03:06It's like having...
03:06This is better than what the Turin was right now.
03:10Like with the Turin, I had to at least hit a head.
03:13With this, I don't even need to think about hitting a head at any point.
03:19Oh, got a little bit closer.
03:21Sometimes it won't kill him instantly like there.
03:23So I do try and aim for heads at times as well.
03:27Just to guarantee the kill.
03:29You can take out Johnny Fives and dogs in one shot sometimes as well.
03:54And now we're on to the third wave.
03:56We'll see out the whole landmark.
04:06Nearly one shot the named enemy there.
04:08Down in two.
04:24We've got some people with us now.
04:26But you can see just how good this build is working and how comfortable it is.
04:31Now we've got more people here to take out.
04:33Crow will get a little bit more aggressive.
04:38I think someone else might be using the same build there.
04:40I think someone else is using the same build there.
04:43If you have multiple people using this build...
04:46Oh, I'm glad that happened.
04:47Because look how I get up.
04:48This is...
04:49So because I just got one shot for the one shot protection with the prima donna.
04:53This is something.
04:54The prima donna picked me up, not my hive.
04:56I can pick up my hive and go again.
04:58Because you have invincibility per your stack.
05:00So if you go down where you've still got stacks,
05:02the game recognises that you shouldn't be down and picks you up.
05:05It is really, really weird.
05:07But you're not meant to be able to take damage while you've got the stacks of the prima donna.
05:10What we're going to go and do now actually is pick up some loot.
05:13And we're going to show you how well this works on the hunters on the extraction.
05:17So we're coming up to an extraction now.
05:19You still want to take the hunters seriously.
05:21They are going to hurt you.
05:22They're going to kill you very quickly.
05:24But you do a lot of damage to them.
05:26It's not too difficult, especially if you have a nice vantage point.
05:30So we're going to use this vantage point over here.
05:32We'll call it in and we'll jump up here.
05:36And we'll see how quick we can take care of this hunter.
05:42There he is.
05:47Two shots.
05:48Hunter done just like that.
05:50The Red Moon Recruiter does take a few more shots when you get the Red Moon one.
05:55He's a little bit more tankier, but he's not that difficult.
05:57You get a few good shots at him, he will die.
06:00So the build works great on hunters also.
06:03The last thing to show you is Phoebe.
06:06So Phoebe is up.
06:07We'll show you now just how good this build works against Phoebe and why it's a little bit broken.
06:12The reason being, if you know how Phoebe works, there's weak spots.
06:14You've got to take out the weak spots to be able to do damage to Phoebe.
06:17However, I think it's the Iron Will that does it.
06:20The guaranteed headshot will go straight to damage, doesn't matter where you hit.
06:24So you can just keep on shooting Phoebe and you'll cause damage.
06:27And if you've got multiple of these builds shooting at Phoebe, she dies very, very quickly.
06:33So I'm just going to try and get a good position here and just show you what I mean.
06:37So all weak spots are up.
06:40Yeah, I did a bit of damage.
06:42You notice the headshot.
06:4522 mil.
06:45Notice the armor coming down.
06:47Now, if I shoot very quickly, you'll see the immune because every two seconds I get the headshot.
06:52But every two seconds, I'm going to take armor off of Phoebe.
06:56That's without taking out any of the weak points.
06:59Now, if another part of the DZ, the team, whoever's with you works on the weak spots,
07:04we're going to do even more damage to Phoebe as they start going as well, I think.
07:09But yeah, just aim for Phoebe.
07:11Don't even worry about their weak spots with this build.
07:14And like I said, if you've got multiple people with this build, just shooting Phoebe, she goes down so, so,
07:20so quick.
07:23Already got half armor off.
07:24I think some other teams are just turning up now.
07:28Now, one top tip, make sure you stay close to Phoebe.
07:31I noticed yesterday, a player dragged Phoebe away from us.
07:36We did all of the work.
07:38Phoebe went away like that, out of distance, where like if I shot her, I would get no damage numbers
07:44whatsoever.
07:44And they killed her, and I got no loot off of her, which was highly annoying.
07:49I didn't even know that was a thing.
07:52The armor's already gone, though.
07:55See, like that, I can't get no damage numbers.
07:57I need to make sure I'm in range when she dies.
08:08You just seen, we took that hit there from the rocket, but the prima donna stacks took it for me.
08:13It's really good.
08:16Again, if you don't have a prima donna, this is where I'm saying this build isn't going to be as
08:20good without one.
08:21And you've got the white death, you've got the shroud, where you should still be able to get the damage
08:25output.
08:25But the invincibility part of the prima donna really is what sort of makes it so good.
08:31We've just got an overlord, a capacitor, which is the favorite item it likes to drop for me, sacrum imperium
08:39and dodge city.
08:40So nothing good there.
08:42And again, one final look at the build.
08:44The prima donna, it is key in my opinion.
08:47The way you get this is from the Paradise Lost Incursion.
08:50It's the only way you can get it.
08:51It's a 10% chance out of the box at the end of the incursion, once per week or hour,
08:55with every key that you spend in it.
08:57And you can just keep on running that incursion back to back with a 1% chance per bosses.
09:02Once you've got it, it's worth it.
09:04It's such a good sniper rifle.
09:06I'm stuck with health damage right now on it.
09:08You want detox on it, probably.
09:11But yeah, and the backpack, I don't think I've covered it before.
09:14I'm just running a Neroldi backpack.
09:15I'm using the Melon Bowler that comes with Perfect Concussion.
09:19You don't need to use that.
09:20A Neroldi backpack on this build with Vigilance will be great as well, or however you make your sniper builds.
09:27But yeah, I go 4-piece Hotshot.
09:28I go a Neroldi backpack with the Melon Bowler.
09:31I go Iron Will.
09:32The most important part about this, for me, is the Iron Will and a very good sniper like the prima
09:36donna.
09:36Try the Shroud.
09:37Try the White Death.
09:38If you haven't got that, let me know if it still works well.
09:41Obviously, you're not going to have the invincibility from the prima donna.
09:44But if it still one-shots everything, it's still powerful.
09:47At least you've got that aspect of it, because it does make the grind very, very easy.
09:51And you should still be able to do what I'm doing with Phoebe there as well, with the Iron Will
09:56and another sniper.
09:57And it doesn't have to be Hotshot.
09:58If you have like an Aces build instead, however you do your sniper build, if you know sniper builds and
10:03you make your own sniper builds, it's going to work.
10:05You just need the Iron Will and a decent sniper, and this build is incredible for this current event.
10:10Hope that's answered all your questions.
10:12So asking me in stream what build I'm using, I can now link you to this video.
10:16And yeah, let me know down in the comments what builds you're using for this event as well.
10:20I'm sure there's loads of different builds people are using, and they're finding this event very, very easy.
10:24I hope you are all getting the drops that you desire.
10:28The RNG has been a bit stingy to some people I've heard.
10:32But thank you for watching this video, and until next time, take care.
