I

Headshot Booster

Good early dmg, builds into headhunter

I

Restorative Shot

Gives you alot of in combat sustain in and outside of lane. Buy monster rounds if you can't aim

I

Extra Regen

Paradox has base 1 regen so this fixes it, keeps you healthy in lane and lets you trade while healing unlike healing rite.

II

Slowing Bullets

Good damage T2 and the slow helps a lot for sticking onto people. Makes it easier to track people too.

II

Opening Rounds

Best T2 for weapon damage. Better than mystic because we're buiilding gun and mystic can miss.

II

Active

Restorative Locket

Op item rn, 10% spirit res, ~400 hp heal and 4 stamina for 1600 is crazy. This + stamina mastery gives you 9 stamina bars lmao, basically enchanced stamina mastery for 4800.

I

Extra Stamina

Helps you chase and disengage better.

II

Battle Vest

Solid T2 for damage and defense. You can buy alot of other T2 greens over this depending on the game (Buy reactive over this if reactive is good)

III

Headhunter

Gives you aa ton of damage, in combat sustain and move speed. Easy to proc too. Gives you your 7.2k gun spike.

I

Rebuttal

Good against viscous or against 2 melee heroes in lane. Replaces extra regen.

I

Sprint Boots

Buy this if you have your 4.8k gun spike and was never poked out enough to warrant buying extra regen.

I

Monster Rounds

Buy over resto shot if you can't aim.

I

Close Quarters

Underrated item. This item is basically monster rounds but also works on enemies. You can buy this over resto shot against melee heroes in lane.

III

Hollow Point

Massive damage increase, buy toxic over this if you need early antiheal or against multiple high HP heroes like mo and dynamo. Gives you your 9.6k gun spike

II

Active

Slowing Hex

Locks people down so they can't escape your bomb or swap. You can skip this if the enemy isn't mobile, or buy other purples like silence weave over this.

III

Stamina Mastery

Amazing item if your movement is half decent. IAD around the map and in fights and your good to go.

II

Weakening Headshot

You have a ton of weapon damage already so more shred scales your damage nicely.

IV

Crippling Headshot

Solid damage item, easy to proc, and helps your team kill people faster. Everyone has a billion HP and healing so you need this every game.

III

Spirit Resilience

Most teams have a ton of unavoidable spirit damage that can one shot you so this helps you live against that. Buy Dispel magic or counterspell over this if the situation calls for it

IV

Siphon Bullets

Everyone has a 4k+ hp past 30 minutes, this helps you kill super tanks and gives you a ton of in combat sustain with headhunter.

III

Tankbuster

Everyone has a billion hp late game, this helps with that. Easy to proc with carbine

II

Reactive Barrier

Keeps you alive in fights against high cc comps. The best T2 green in combination with resto locket if the enemy team can proc it. Gives you 10 stamina with locket and stam mastery.

III

Active

Dispel Magic

Buy against drifter mark, infernus burn, shiv knifes, vin stake, mirage mark, and multiple slowing hexes or other item cc

III

Counterspell

Best 3200 green in the game, negates many impactful abilities if you can react to them, for experts only

III

Active

Warp Stone

Get out of jail free card, been liking this over stam mastery recently but choose what you prefer

II

Enchanter's Emblem

Buy this over healbane if they have alot of spirit (emblem + expansion + EE gives you enough spirit resist to skip spirit resiliance)

II

Enduring Speed

Underrated T2 on paradox

III

Active

Metal Skin

Buy against fed haze/vyper

III

Active

Silence Wave

Buy over slowing hex if you can afford it after your 9.6k gun spike. Staggering this with wall silence is good.

III

Active

Knockdown

Buy over slowing hex if multiple people on the enemy team gets screwed by this.

III

Toxic Bullets

Still good after the nerf, buy over hollow point if you need antiheal in the midgame.

IV

Transcendent Cooldown

Lower swap, siphon bullets, headhunter and resto locket cds is good.

IV

Inhibitor

Good item in general. Easy to proc. Better into heroes who dive in and heal alot like abrams, shiv, geist, victor etc.

IV

Active

Cursed Relic

Buy when you're behind or if there's a fed carry that needs to get hate crimed.

IV

Silencer

Good debuff over overe inhibitor against spirit heavy comps.

III

Superior Duration

Not required for gun build but it's nice to have for carbine and item debuff duration.

IV

Spellbreaker

Buy against lash, GT, sinclair etc

IV

Active

Divine Barrier

Buy against pocket

III

Weighted Shots

You can buy this if slot locket, -14% stamina recovery doesn't matter when you have 9 stamina bars. You can buy this and debuff reducer against abrams and venator to parry them after their stuns.

III

Fortitude

This item feels great but it's not better than resto locket + another T2 green. Fortitude is good outside of combat but in combat resto locket + reactive barrier gives you way more survivability.

II

Mystic Shot

Good item but not needed for gun build because it doesn't give any weapon damage and you don't build much spirit to scale the damage.

II

Long Range

Slightly worse than opening rounds

III

Imbue [E]

Ballistic Enchantment

Not better that expansion imo, 10% spirit resist is amazing

III

Active

Alchemical Fire

Not worth delaying echoewvshard for this but it's good after

II

Healbane

If i need early antiheal I grab toxic over this.

IV

Imbue [E]

Active

Echo Shard

Bomb build doesn not feel good after the health bloat patch as well as the spirit power and range nerfs and echo shard cd nerf.

IV

Active

Vortex Web

Can still buy this for multiswaps but it gets countered by dispel magic.

III

Active

Disarming Hex

Buy over hex if there's a fed m1 carry in the midgame.
