    Notes:
    • If you have binded the Goggles Buff with the Binder item, you can swap it out for the |E| Dying Berserk Buff.
    • If you prefer to be able to buy pills more often and don't mind being slowed down by the acid from the tank, you can swap out the |E| Slow Resistance Buff for the Prescription Medication 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 |V| War Wounds Buff.
    • If you're levelling up any class from class level 4 to class level 5, the |E| Ground Absorbent Buff would be the best to replace since removing it from your buff set gives the least amount of impact on your Hunter Tank fights, you can swap it out for the |Q| Prowess Buff.
    • If you want to gain more bounty to be able to afford more health items over saving yourself should the Hunter Tank strike you down, you can swap out the |E| Auto-Medical Buff for the Hunting Reward Buff.

    Tips for effectively using this buff set:
    • If you see any visible traps other than bear traps currently out, try to trigger them before anyone else does. Some of your buffs such as Special First Aid / Reactive Inoculation or even Mutation Shield can save you from harmful bad status effects and prevent any other survivors from suffering them.
