    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 want to be able to deal more damage quickly against the dormant tank over having more regeneration, you can swap out the Morphine Injector Buff for the |C| Discharger Buff.
    • If you prefer to be able to crowd control the tank by freezing it over having a faster reload speed with your weapons, you can swap out the Tactical Reload Buff for the Underbarrel Launcher Buff.
    • If you prefer to be able to fire your pistols automatically and more quickly at the dormant tank over having more health items to help you in your survival, you can swap out the Infirmary Buff for the Auto Pistol Modulator Buff.
    • If you prefer not to use grenades but want to have a chance to resist stuns from tank punches with the buff enhancement, you can swap out the Freezing Grenade Buff for the Unstoppable Buff.
    • If you prefer blowing up the dormant tank over having a chance to save ammo with your weapons, you can swap out the Dummy Rounds Buff for the Grenade Trap Buff. If you instead want to crowd control the tank by freezing it, you can swap out either buff for the Freezing Grenade Launcher Buff.

    Tips for effectively using this buff set: <top>
    • Be sure to keep your distance at all times while shooting the dormant tank. If you get aggro'd into a corner that you cannot easily get out of, be sure to use mobility master buff to help you get out of there quickly. This can be useful, especially if you need to heal up afterwards.
    • If you get low on health, be sure to heal with a first aid kit before you get incapacitated or killed.
