Strong build for "Hold M1" Drifter. This hits 4.8K Investments, is strong and bursty. Fire Rate is insane on Drifter so jump someone and watch their HP bar melt.
Left → Right | Hit early Investments fast.


I
Melee Lifesteal
Good heal, increases Rend DMG. I was wrong about this Item before doing extensive testing. Sell it ASAP for slots.


I
Spirit Strike
Get this early if you constantly go for Rend and are dominating lane. Don't go Snatch if there isn't enough Spirit DMG on both teams.


I
Close Quarters
Very strong DMG upgrade on Drifty. You fight close often.


III
Spirit Snatch
Skip if you want. Strong early if you have lots of Spirit DMG pals. (bait in a lot of games, delays your potential)


II
Bullet Resist Shredder
Easy to trigger during Ult.


II
Kinetic Dash
Best item. This is your new best friend!


II
Enduring Speed
Don't sell. Great Item!


III
Active
Fury Trance
Power Spike! A little weaker this patch, but still strong. Go Fortitude if you like MAX HP and SPEED!


III
Hollow Point
Great Bullet Shred. Increases your DPS and overall DMG a lot.
Must Haves/Bread n Butter


III
Toxic Bullets
Anti-heal is great. Got nerfed recently, but overall DMG is still high.


III
Point Blank
Power Spike! You hit another Investment threshold.


IV
Lucky Shot
Biggest Power Spike!


IV
Crippling Headshot
Incredibly strong against RES heavy teams. Break their defences!


IV
Juggernaut
Really strong right now with all the M1 Characters trying to hit you.


IV
Active
Vampiric Burst
Replaces Fury Trance late game.
Heals, Shields, Counters


I
Active
Healing Rite
Get this if you get really low.


I
Rebuttal
Great against Billy, Abrams, Yamato lanes. Amazing stats and only 1 Parry makes it worth it.


II
Weapon Shielding
Rarely taken. Heavy Weapon teams are hard to find in this Hybrid Carry meta.


II
Spirit Shielding
Is OK against really heavy Spirit Burst lanes, but Healing Rite and playing safe fixes that in most cases.


II
Reactive Barrier
Extremely good against heavy CC (especially Bebop).


II
Battle Vest
Conditional Stats are a good bonus. Look at your enemies and decide if it's worth it instead of Enduring Speed.


III
Active
Debuff Remover
Great Item in almost every game. Especially good against Bebop and Infernus, but Fury Trance already helps with that.


III
Active
Metal Skin
Best Item against M1 Carries. BUY THIS!


III
Counterspell
Buy this if you're feeling comfortable using it. It's insane in most games and completely shuts down Lash and Yamato in particular. (goes really hard against Pocket if you master the timing)
Tools to help you deal with pests


IV
Frenzy
Feels strong against teams that burst you down and have no real followup.


IV
Active
Colossus
Is actually very strong in you late game.


III
Fortitude
This or Fury Trance, your choice. This item feeds more into the character's hunter identity and is really fun.


III
Superior Duration
Get if you have max Ult.
Can work in some situations.


II
Intensifying Magazine
Really really good Item. Fits this playstyle really well.


III
Hunter's Aura
Used to be part of his main kit, but feels really weak now.


IV
Silencer
Really strong against a Spirit heavy lineup. Some players don't know how to react to this.


IV
Ricochet
I really love this Item, but it's inefficient. Buy it only in VERY long games.
