This is the build for the new guide, meant for new players who prefer a structured route through Quests and other PvE content.

With this build, you will have the flexibility of 2 fighting skills: Small Guns and Close Combat. You'll use Combat Shotguns, pistols, and SMGs, but you'll become a skilled fist-fighter too, doing a lot of knockdowns while enemies will often miss. With some Levels, recruit NPC companions and build a combat support team to follow you around and back you up in fights. This is a combat-capable lead character, for quest-diving, and getting set up for your expansion, which will include additional Characters (combat specialists, etc).
