I

Monster-Kugeln

Buy to clear waves + hp regen and jungle later. Works on Guardians/Walkers/Patron/Shrine/Weakened Patron. Keep until you destroy enough objectives for 2 extra slots or upgrade to Cultist to keep it.

III

Tesla-Kugeln

Optimal for farming faster, clearing troopers faster and applying Bullet Resist Shredder. Tesla can be sold later when you no longer have slots for bullet resist shredder and this item.

I

Erweitertes Magazin

More ammo to shoot more from laning phase to mid-game. Sell when you need to buy a bigger item and have no flex slot.

II

Riesiges Magazin

Buy when you find yourself out of ammo often or against a heavy spirit team with less gun.

I

Zusätzliche Regeneration

Sell later when you need slots. We buy this over Resto shot b/c it gives max health & we already have a built in heal so our sustain is great already but u can skip this for Resto for more gun.

I

Zusätzliche Ausdauer

Buy during laning phase against Haze or Warden (they remove our stamina). We can sell this later after we already have Fleetfoot + Heroic Aura.

II

Kampfweste

Buy 1st or 2nd (after Monster) if enemy has 2 HEAVY duo bullet damage in order of priority: Haze, Vyper, Wraith (in lane mostly gun), Warden, Drifter, Billy, Ivy and uncommon spirit hero doing gun

I

Schnellfeuer-Magazin

Fire rate combined with our massive ammo pool = high dps while fighting or farming.

II

Reduzierte Kugelresistenz

Spirit damage required to proc bullet shredder. Pair with Tesla or an active item (that deals any spirit damage) if you don't have Tesla. Walkers or enemy Heroes become much easier to kill with this.

III

Hohlspitz-Kugeln

Hunter's Aura can be used as a subsitute however you will be required to play sidelanes to get more benefit out of it while Hollow Point can be used more consistently.

II

Kommando-Kugeln

Buy for cost effective fire rate for 800/1600 is a steal. It also beats Burst Fire for objectives since it requires Hero damage to proc as opposed to Swift Striker needing nothing.

II

Kugellebensraub

Skippable till later b/c you have a heal anyway. Buy Bullet Lifesteal when fighting enemies. Upgrades to Vamp Burst later.

IV

Aktiv

Vampirischer Kraftstoß

The most crucial 6000 item of the build. Provides massive lifesteal to turn the tables on the enemy and gigaburst them with your gun or gives you extra ammo when trying manfight

II

Aktiv

Splitterkugel

Buy this when predicting a grouped fight like a midboss contest. Makes a huge difference when multi-hitting enemies with Mcginnis' huge damage combined with Vamp Burst.

II

Aktiv

Schnelle Stiefel

Shoot without movespeed penalty. Pairs insanely well with Heroic Aura. Bullet resist adds up combined w/ other sources for tanking up while being mobile.

III

Aktiv

Kultopfer

Buy ~8-12 mins AFTER Tesla. Use on BIG red neutrals. Insane investment item to get ahead later while giving insane stats. Takes up 1 active slot mid to late game, but can be sold very late game.

III

Aura des Jägers

CHOOSE HOLLOW POINT OR THIS. Play sidelanes to get the most out of this item. Provides bullet resist shred up to 24% (if only 1 enemy Hero) or 8% (2+ enemy Hero). Paired with BRS or Suppressor usually

II

Wappen des Zauberers

Buy IN LANE against HEAVY SPIRIT duos (2 Spirit Heroes in lane). Heroes like Seven, Pocket, GTalon, Viscous, Holliday, Kelvin (unless gun), Yamato,Mirage (unless spirit), Geist, Lash, Mina, Sinc, Shiv

III

Aktiv

Bluttribut

Extremely good item to prevent getting stunned or CC'd by long duration stuns. You have full control of when to turn it on/off. Firerate and movespeed is a plus.

IV

Heilungstempo

Expensive but amazing upgrade to our 2. Gives spirit resist and fire rate. The extra healing makes a big difference while standing your ground.

III

Verstärkte Magierüstung

Buy against heavy CONSISTENT spirit damage. Can be OVERKILL if you already have Healing Tempo. High value if enemy is 4-5+ spirit Heroes.

IV

Glaskanone

Infinite damage. This item basically doubles our damage (aprox ~1.5x plus). We don't care about the Fire Rate stacks thats just a bonus.

IV

Querschläger-Kugeln

Buy if you can combo w/ team (Lash/Dynamo ult). Firerate is also a huge plus.

IV

Panzerbrechende Munition

Buy against BULLET EVASION (main use), PLATED ARMOR or HIGH BULLET RES. While it doesn't completely counter PLATED, this is ONE of the options (LUCKY SHOT BEING THE OTHER just math wise).

IV

Aktiv

Unaufhaltsam

Buy against CC like Lash ult or Mo&K ult/disarm or just use it to take the weakened Patron in less than 10 seconds if you have Vampiric (you can lifesteal from Patron).

IV

Glückstreffer

Buy only when you have high amounts of weapon damage 170+ (Remember to count Berserker stacks manually). This item will give you insane extra bonus damage additively.

III

Berserker

Efficient damage/tank item for weapon damage increase based on damage taken. Sustained damage taken is BEFORE BULLET RES REDUCTIONS = faster stacks. PAIRS WELL W/ BLOOD TRIBUTE.

IV

Panzerrüstung

Tank up even more ontop of the bullet resist that we have. Even if enemies buy armor piercing rounds it doesn't completely negate the usefulness of this item at all.

III

Aktiv

Heroische Aura

Buy with Fleetfoot to become racecar god. Also good bullet res combined with Fleetfoot. We dont really care about our turrets benefiting from this b/c we don't use em. Burst Fire can be substituted.

II

Verräterklinge

BUY FIRST ITEM IF 1) you want to apply pressure or kill enemies and 2) if you can hit enemies behind with your gun. Remember the proc has 25m min distance. Good vs Vyper in lane for example.

II

Experimentelles Magazin

Cheap but effective weapon damage item for Mcginnis. Buy sometimes when you need damage at low cost.

III

Feuerstoß

Choose this or Heroic Aura. Provides massive gun burst against enemy Heroes. Buy if you are trying to KILL enemy Heroes. PASSIVE DOES NOT TRIGGER ON BUILDINGS.

III

Bleikugeln

Incredibly efficient weapon damage, spirit resist and debuff resist. Since we don't have much movement anyway. Recommended when you have Fleetfoot + Heroic Aura.

IV

Aktiv

Kondensator

Upgrade from Tesla to debuff enemies mainly for Return Fire. Can also screw over Mo and Krill while they are burrowed and lose all their bullet/spirit resist or against Viscous Cube or Metal Skin.

IV

Verstummer

Buy when you have Ricochet and need more crowd control in silence and a passive -25% spirit damage debuff. Very useful utility buy if you have Ricochet.

II

Imbue [E]

Quecksilber-Nachlader

Quick reload for more ammo. The best situations for this is when you are suiciding for Walkers and the reload time of 3 seconds is too long. Active Reload also does the job +buffs, but QsR is instant.

II

Unterdrückung

Amazingly efficient item to hinder enemy fire rate early game in lane via wall, turret damage and later tesla. Nobody will be able to trade with you, especially if they're walled off.

II

Aktiv

Fluch der Langsamkeit

Buy against enemies who rely on their escape like Wraith's teleport, Calico's slash/ult ,Shivs slice&dice, Lash's grapple or Warp Stone abusers etc... Look up the entire list online.

IV

Aktiv

Fluch

Buy against near unkillable targets that always use mobility to get out (Pocket, Holliday etc).

II

Stiefel des Dauerläufers

Buy with fleetfoot to become racecar GOD but WITHOUT LOSING AN ACTIVE ITEM SLOT. Also slow resist is more important now than ever this patch.

III

Aktiv

Schwächungs­entferner

Buy against DISARM and additionally gain status resist alongside Blood Tribute later for massive anti debuff + remover when necessary.

III

Gegenzauber

Buy against Lash ult, Wraith ult etc... It works the same way Hazes' 2 maxed does but for spells.

IV

Zauberbrecher

Buy when you need 1) Spirit Resist & 2) Debuff Resist and spirit resist & 3) Have a lot of money to spend. Debuff Resist is for annoying things like Curse.

IV

Moloch

Pairs incredibly well with Suppressor to become an anti-m1 machine and you move very fast thanks to movespeed and slow reduction.

III

Giftige Kugeln

Often needed due to lack of anti heal on team. Pairs well with Healbane for -55% enemy heal reduction for cheap.

II

Heilungsfluch

Cheap effective anti-heal that can easily be applied by our spells and tesla consistently even if debuff remover'd. Sometimes you'll need at least 2 anti-heal items to deal with big healers.

IV

Inhibitor

Extremely good item for healing reduction and reducing enemy spirit + gun damage. Requires buildup but works like Toxic Bullets after buildup and can reset duration forever.
