Community builds that use it

CyborgKeep the Minigun, add guns that scale with Ranged Damage and Engineering weapons (Wrench or Plank), and put upgrades into Ranged Damage rather than Engineering, since Ranged Damage converts to Engineering mid-wave.
LichDamage comes from healing scaled by Max HP, so stack Max HP, HP Regeneration and Life Steal and use weapons that trigger healing often or scale with HP: elemental burn with Snake and Scared Sausage, Slingshot, Chopper or Spiky Shield. Sources differ on the main weapon.
MutantLevel-ups supply most stats because items cost 50% more, so buy only key items, take Luck for better upgrades and rush all six weapons early. Quarterstaff scales with level; SMG, Double Barrel Shotgun or Minigun with Ranged Damage from upgrades are the gun route.
RangerGun build that stacks Ranged Damage (boosted 50%), % Damage and Attack Speed; SMG is the usual pick, with Double Barrel Shotgun, Revolver and Minigun also recommended. A Crossbow variant instead stacks Range and Crit Chance and skips Ranged Damage.
SickUse fast or multi-hit weapons so Life Steal outpaces the 1 HP-per-second drain: SMG, Slingshot or Lightning Shiv, with Bandana and other piercing items. Never buy Weird Ghost.
