Drifter

Description

Optimal build for "Hold M1" Drifter. This hits all investment at the best time and makes you strong quicky. Fire Rate is great on him so hit those slides and dig your claws into your prey!

Deadlock Item

III

Hollow Point

You have a ton of Weapon DMG before getting this so its Bullet Shred works great. If you go Fury Trance instead of Fortitude get this before Burst Fire.

Deadlock Item

IV

Crippling Headshot

Incredibly strong. Lucky Shot used to be in here, but I feel like it's much weaker now.

Situational

Heals, Shields, Counters

Deadlock Item

Battle Vest

Can be skipped. Really good in this Meta. Look at your lane and decide which Shield is a better replacement.

Late Game/Counters/Experimental

Tools to help you deal with pests

Fortitude

This or Fury Trance, your choice. This item feeds more into the character's Hunter identity.
