    Notes:
    • If you prefer to have a medium damage increasing buff over an incremental damage increasing buff you can swap out the |Q| Piercing Bullets Buff for the Ranged Expert Buff.
    • If you prefer to deal more damage with explosives over dealing more damage with guns, you can swap out the Tank Slayer Buff for the Extra Powder Buff. If you instead prefer to be able to crowd control the tank by freezing it, you can swap out either buff for the Freezing Grenade Launcher Buff.
    • If you prefer to crowd control your dormant tank by freezing them rather than stunning them, you can swap out the |E| Zapping Gun Buff for the Freezing Grenade Buff.
    • If you prefer to to have a buff that lets you heal automatically after taking lethal damage, rather than just having moustachio bless active, you can swap out the Guardian Moustachio Buff for the |E| Auto-Medical Buff.
    • If you prefer to be able to crowd control the tank by freezing it rather than benefiting from regeneration, you can swap out the |E| Advanced Morphine Injector Buff for the Underbarrel Launcher Buff.
    • If you don't need the additional maximum HP to survive but do want to be able to afford health items more easily, you can swap out the |E| Promise Buff for the Prescription Medication Buff.
    • If you prefer to hold 2 health items for survival over having a chance to save ammo with your weapons, you can swap out the Dummy Rounds Buff for the Infirmary Buff. If you prefer instead to blow up the dormant tank for damage and crowd control, you can swap out either buff for the Grenade Trap Buff.
    • If you don't need the additional maximum HP or don't have the buff effect stacks to survive but do want another way to not die should you take lethal damage, you can swap out the |V| War Wounds Buff for the |V| Guardian Dispenser Buff.

    Tips for effectively using this buff set: <top>
    • Be sure to have a way to protect yourself from SUPREME BULLET RELEASE, since trying to heal your way through the fury ability won't work. Either having you hide and the other player using the enraging waves + protective bag to keep the tank at bay or both of you activating the Protective Bag Buff should stop anyone from dying.
    • If you get low on health, be sure to heal with a first aid kit before you get incapacitated or killed.
