This is a guide to building the Assassin, a Trickster Build in the game Outriders. To learn about the weapon, gear, and mods for the Assassin Build, read on.
List of Contents
This Trickster build focuses on maximizing weapon damage as well as using skills and unlocking class tree nodes that work perfectly well with weapons, especially Shotguns.
Skill | Description |
---|---|
Borrowed Time | Receive Shield and mark your location for some time. Triggering the skill again will bend spacetime and teleport you back to the marked spot. |
Venator's Knife | Throws a temporal knife at an enemy. The blade will ricochet at enemies within a small radius, marking them while also dealing damage. All marked targets will be inflicted with Slow, and for a few seconds the first damage dealt will be doubled. |
Twisted Rounds | Fill your current weapon's magazine with Anomaly-infused bullets that increase your Fire Power. The skill lasts until you reload or switch weapons. |
Borrowed Time, when paired with the right mods, is capable of granting you Shield, Armor, and Firepower bonuses upon activation.
Venator's Knife is not only good for crowd-control, but also gives a significant buff to the first damage you lay on an enemy affected by the skill.
Twisted Rounds will be partnered with your Venator's Knife to achieve the maximum amount of damage your weapon can dish out. Pair this with the Perpetuum Mobile mod and you can have potentially limitless rounds of Anomaly-powered bullets.

Why do you have ‘Hunt the Prey’ Mods included when that’s not a Skill you suggested? Shouldn’t that be TWISTED ROUNDS mods instead???
