Here’s a short video of me mowing down MaxTac on Very Hard with just a Chrome Compressor, no real operating system. The key to this build is using the iconic Firecracker mod from Phantom Liberty along with the Pyromania perk and its sub-perks. Most guns I’ve tried with Firecracker don’t actually proc Pyromania for some reason, but the MA70 LMG does and that means you can get 100% mitigation chance and infinite grenades from just firing your gun. Full build at the end of the video.
Walking around blowing everything up with grenades and explosive rounds while being mostly unkillable feels very satisfying, although this isn’t on the same level as something like Katana + Sandevistan. You could use the bones of this build with a real OS like a Sandi or Cyberdeck and it would probably be even stronger but that’s really due to those OS being godlike rather than having any synergy with explosive LMG.
The biggest problem with this build is LMG’s low max ammo. It doesn’t get in the way of completing missions or anything, but you have to constantly open the menu to craft ammo or you’ll run out, and against MaxTac you’ll run out after a few minutes and then you’ll have to hide to craft more.

You mean, infinite grenade chucking build is real and can hurt you?

Took me a sec to realize you where throwing grenades, I thought you where doing some kind of magic with the hand waveing

That particular lmg shoots explosive rounds with or without firecracker that’s why is proccing pyromania.
Firecracker adds damage/low burn chance/and AOE still an excellent all rounder mod, but that’s all it does
Great video btw. Cheers

Cool build, just kinda sad it needs the nade spam to makeup for it’s less than stellar dps. Also if I am understanding your build right, the nades are setting up your crucial perks. Meaning you could be using any gun in this vid and be doing fine.

I call it Big Body V. He’s about as subtle as a sledge hammer.

Tried this one and my dmg wasnt good enough, is there any good legendary LMG?

How fast is your grenade respawn?!

I think the kicker is that LMGs eat more lead than the entire city of Rome circa 200 BC to make this build sustainable.

They went from zero to hero with this police system. Not even GTA has this level of badassness.

The MA70 is honestly just an HMG. Slap firecracker on that bad boy and you get an HMG+

You should be hacking them to get the +80% explosion damage.

This is honestly so much cooler than yet another Sandevistan + Katana build.
We need less Sandevistan.

A real LMG with an unreal grenade launcher 🤣

Now imagine if we could do that with the projectile launcher instead of grenades 🥲

Bombs? You want it? It’s yours my friend, as long as you have enough MaxTacs

Nice. I was thinking of going full tank build for my third run.
Although my pre 2.0 netrunner was basically already unstoppable with a smart shotgun.
I think it was the Kang Thao L-69 Zhuo.
And enemies would just drop dead while I wasn’t even really aiming.
Made the endgame a total blast on Very Hard.
