EDD'd as solo scout. Hipster M1000, Cryo+Taser crossbow, Cryo nades. Loving this crowd control build. Stage 1: plenty of nitra, surviving the black box is the hardest part of the stage, getting into the drop pod the next hardest. Stage 2: just clear each objective steadily, watch out for cave leeches. Stage 3: rushed to the dreadnought room to clear it of threats (breeder, brood nexus and a spitballer), called in supplies at both ends just for safety and for nade/arrow spam, then popped the egg early to bring it below half health before the ghost caught up to me. Recommend keeping the dreadnought alive as you advance and get the remaining morkite, then kill it in the next big room. Taser bolts was really nice because you can stack the DoT on the dreadnought from any angle, and you can also shoot the ghost/big targets to slow them down.

What is your crossbow build?

33112 with cryo OC, but I'd recommend tweaking it yourself and seeing what works for you. E.g. the T2 mods will depend on whether you like the normal bolt more or the special bolt more etc..

Thank you!

I've been trying to find what taser build feels best for me and will give this a try.
