    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 stun and damage the tank for a time over having additional movement speed, you can swap out the Adrenaline Area Booster Buff for the |C| Discharger Buff. If you prefer instead to be able to crowd control the tank by freezing it, you can swap out either buff for the Underbarrel Launcher Buff.
    • If you prefer not to use grenades but want to reload your weapons faster, you can swap out the Freezing Grenade Buff for the Tactical Reload 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>
    • Try not to ever let the Dormant Brutal Tank hit you without being protected by immunity to bad status effects. If he manages to be able to hit you, it becomes much harder to escape his grasp for a good amount of time.
    • If you get low on health, be sure to heal with a first aid kit before you get incapacitated or killed.
