Laser Gun

Community builds that use it

• BuccaneerPicking up materials resets weapon cooldowns, so use slow, high base-damage guns such as Laser Gun, Double Barrel Shotgun or Shredder, and collect materials only when enemies are close. Large auto-pickup items such as Sifd's Relic work against this.
• CreatureCurse provides flat damage, so stack Curse and lock shop items so they become cursed, with Fish Hook to get more. SMG or other ranged weapons tolerate the Range loss best; Javelin is a reported alternative, and capped Dodge protects against cursed enemies.
• FishermanPrimitive melee with reach, Spear or Stick, to cut through the bait swarms; take few Bait early, build Luck and Harvesting, then raise Bait later. Armor early and up to 60% Dodge by waves 15-18 are recommended; Spiky Shield and gun builds also appear.
• JackFew enemies with high health, so use high base-damage weapons such as Laser Gun and Revolver, stacking Ranged Damage, then % Damage and Crit Chance, plus Speed to evade elites. Spears, Jousting Lance, Icicle and Brick (tripled material drop) are reported alternatives.
• RenegadeUse single-projectile weapons that gain most from the +2 projectiles: SMG with Ranged Damage and Life Steal, Revolver or Laser Gun, or Ghost Scepter. Buy every new tier-1 item to offset the -80% Damage; explosive guns, Javelin and Flute builds are also reported.
• SoldierStand still to shoot and move only to dodge: Double Barrel Shotgun, SMG or Revolver with lots of Ranged Damage plus some Max HP, Dodge or Life Steal. Javelins (scaling with Melee Damage) are another reported option.
• WoundedOne hit ends the run, so use long-range high-DPS guns: SMG, Double Barrel Shotgun, Icicle or Rail Gun, prioritising Ranged Damage and Range. Laser Guns are advised for Nightmare, where a mutated enemy releases bullets when struck by ranged attacks.
