Why This Build Exists

Weapons
The Minigun provides high DPS with a fast rate of fire, ideal for sustaining damage output while also benefiting from the character's increased Ranged Damage.
Chain Gun complements the Minigun, delivering a high-fire-rate burst damage at close range, while also benefiting from Ranged Damage bonuses.
The Rocket Launcher offers explosive area damage, dealing with multiple enemies at once, essential for managing hordes in later waves while maximizing Engineering.
Main Items
The increased Max HP and HP Regeneration are crucial for sustaining health during intense waves, while reduced Luck is manageable.
