    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 help take care of the breeder CI over having more headshot damage against ankle biter jockeys, you can swap out the |E| Focused Buff for the |E| Zombie Eradicator Buff.
    • If you prefer to have more crowd control resistance and ways to activate moustachio bless over resistance to slows from the ankle biter jockeys, you can swap out the |E| Slow Resistance Buff for the |E| Super Moustachio Bless Buff.
    • If you want to have more ammo for taking on the breeder infected and ankle biter jockeys over reduced damage for infected surrounding you, you can swap out the Infected Swarm Protection Buff for the Dummy Rounds Buff.
    • If you want to be able to instantly kill those ankle biter jockeys with a deadshot buff enhancement over having health regeneration, you can swap out the |E| Fentanyl Injector Buff for the Deadeye 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| Advanced Morphine Injector Buff would be the best to replace since removing it from your buff set gives the least amount of impact on your Breeder Tank fights, you can swap it out for the |Q| Prowess Buff.
    • If you don't have tenacity equipped but want more defense against those breeder CI and ankle biter jockeys, you can swap out the Steadfast Aim Buff for the |V| Persistence Buff.
