Best Engine Rifle Build in Abyssus

Tier C The Baseline Weapon Starter (bottom tier)

The baseline automatic. It struggles with damage and overheating and its mods do not rescue it — move to another weapon as soon as you unlock one.

Recommended Engine Rifle build

If you are stuck with it early, its saving grace is the high fire rate: Fortune (Goldburst) turns every shot into gold-scaled damage. Otherwise, swap it out the moment a better weapon drops.

⚑ Best Aspect

Goldburst (Fortune) — strong on high fire-rate weapons

✦ Key Blessings

  • Exponential Gold to make the high fire rate pay off
  • Golden Skin for survivability

⚒ Ancient Forge mods

  • Reload Speed
  • Magazine Capacity
  • Damage

◈ Recommended Charms

  • Gold Lure
  • Golden Ticket

➤ Ability

Any

Pros / Cons
