    2. Gas Mask: Take only 1 gas based damage while the Gas Mask absorbs the rest. The mask absorbs 1000 damage (500 in VS) before breaking. Recharges in 3 minutes after breaking. Smoker smoke won't shroud vision while the gas mask is active. (Goggles)
    3. General Dominator: Removes map limits. On non-finale/survival maps, max stacks reduced to 10 and -5 seconds faster stack decay. (Finale Dominator)
    4. Armor Piercing Grenades: Pipe bomb explosions ignore target's defenses, halved instead on tanks. (Extra Powder)
    5. |E| Armor Piercing Bullets: Shots may reduce more Tank armor/Flesh armor/Barrier health with bonus reduction equal to weapon's bonus damage per shot. 100% chance VS Flesh armor or with AWP/Scout, otherwise 33% chance. (|Q| Piercing Bullets)
    6. |E| Vigor: Increases heal effects from buffs/regen boosters by 3HP. (Tenacity)
    7. Blood Transfusion: While incapacitated, increased bleed out gain is equal to (standing allies count) %, but killing Commons/Specials/Ubers heal 10/100/200 HP and delays bleedout damage by 1/3/5 seconds. Reaching full health from a Special/Uber kill will revive you. (Mindset Change)
    8. Overcharge Arms: While Hyperactive is active, 1/3 swing speed penalty. While Hyperactive is on cooldown, halved swing speed penalty. (Hyperactive)
    9. |E| Deadshot: After 5 Deadeye shots, you can fire a Deadshot (hold USE and fire) at a Special/Tank, killing the SI or ignoring tank defenses and staggering it. It also blasts inside 300 units for the same damage, igniting them. Infected hit/killed don't trigger Deadeye. (Deadeye)

    <top>

    1. Zombie Shredder: Deal 50% bonus damage to Common Infected. (|E| Zombie Eradicator)
    2. Lightning Hands: Once every 30 seconds, gain double bonus reload speed. (Tactical Reload)
    3. Adaptive Shell: Reloading early will grant +1.5% reload speed per shell currently loaded. (Compressed Shell)

    5. Short Fuse: Lowers fuse time down to 6 seconds. (Seeking Grenade)

    Notes:
    • If you have binded the Goggles Buff with the Binder item, you can swap it out for the Finale Dominator Buff.
    • If you prefer to be able to receive full heals with your first aid kit over reduced heals, you can swap out the Tenacity Buff for the Mindset Change Buff.
    • If you prefer to use a more powerful buff for DPS against Special Infected or Tanks or if you want to have a better chance at scrap, you can swap out the Hyperactive Buff for the Deadeye Buff. If you instead want to kill common infected faster for a better chance at scrap from them, you can swap out either buff for the |E| Zombie Eradicator Buff.
    • If you prefer to use shotguns rather than other weapons as a means of dealing damage, you can swap out the Tactical Reload Buff for the Compressed Shell Buff.
    • If you prefer to have grenades that take a longer time to explode but can seek in on infected over grenades that can instantly explode when hitting surfaces, you can swap out the Frag Grenade Buff for the Seeking Grenade Buff.
    • If you're levelling up any class from class level 4 to class level 5, the Dummy Rounds Buff would be the best to replace since removing it from your buff set gives the least amount of impact on your Hunter Class abilities, you can swap it out for the |Q| Prowess Buff.

    Tips for effectively using this buff set: <top>
    • If you want to take advantage of the Complimentary Munitions ability. be sure to purchase the pipe bomb throwable, and throw it on any tank you want to target with additional damage from the Extra Powder Buff. You'll be able to get another chance to deal large damage to the tank again once you do throw your next pipe bomb, since the throwable won't get consumed.
    • Be sure to get any survivor nearby to crowd control the tank with stuns/freezes after having placed a bear trap and trapping the tank in place. This can be useful in some cases where all survivors can deal free damage to the tank for a short moment of time.
    • With the Stockpile Draw ability, you should have all 3 throwables on you. Then get near any tank that you want to deal massive damage to, activate the ability and watch the throwables all activate at once. As long as you can keep the tank nearby, you'll be able to deal a lot of damage to it.
