    A good build to use a m700 or svd for 1.6?

    I've alway played dps mainly in TD but with 1.6 getting closer i want to try something new.

    Can someone point me in the right direction for a good build to use the m700 or svd? I just want to have the highest possible damage for a single bullet. (Any other weapon suggetions are also welcome) any suggested weapon tallents are also welcome)

    (I dont mind playing as a glass cannons/squishy character)

    Btw im more of a pve then pvp

    Thanks

    Use dead eye and sentry with m700. Focus on min of 7000 fa with chd on mods. Spec rest into stamina and electronics. I like c79 scope and 12x for PvE.

    Not sure if the HS damage is still present or not, but running 3x Hunters Faith and 3x Sentry was my best bet in 1.3-1.4 meta when I was also running a solid M1a. The M1a has more recoil and reticule bloom than the SVD, but hits a bit harder. I'm most definitely going to run an all gold build for the next meta with a R700 in my backpack with a Historian as well.

    I'd rather run 3 striker/ 3 alpha then 3 hunter/ 3 sentry, as the HS bonus is now additive. Or...for that matter SKULL MC!

    SVD with DeadEye is definitely an interesting combination.

    I personally really enjoy Sentry with any Marksman Rifle but have been using an M700 or M44 recently. The extra accuracy helps make sure you get those shots off right as they are ready to go and who doesn't like a bit of extra headshot damage? Plus the stacks really help both other group members or even taking out the heavier NPCs when you are solo.

    I'm working towards putting together a 4 piece sentry set, specialized backpack, and savage gloves. Not had luck finding a solid sentry mask just yet though!

    I had a carbon M700 and an SVD in conjunction with Reckless chest/Savage gloves and an Alpha Bridge set

    my 6 talents with the M700 Carbon or SVD were Toxic/Competent/Deadly/Brutal/Destructive and Fierce, it worked like a charm.

    Use four peice deadeye. Also have percision in your talent tree. Have deadly and unforgiving on your sniper. Coolheaded works good on svd to for getting quick cooldowns. Yes it works with deadeye proc. Harmfull is good for beeld. I use pulse crit hit dmg mods. Finaly find a buddy with a hyper skill build for massive crit pulse dmg and you may just 1 shot some scrubs with m700 under right condition. Woot woot deadeye cheese.
