Close Range Brawler Build

This powerful build utilizes Colossus' Flamethrower and Lightning Coil to chain & burn through lesser enemies and even the tougher shielded / armored enemies. The close range combat compliments Colossus' need to grab health pack drops from fallen enemies, but will be suspected to enemy aggro. Reinforcing the armor of the Javelin is a must.

Gear Loadout

Gear	Description
Lightning Coil (Ordinance Launcher)	Used to detonate burned targets and as damage support
Flamethrower (Heavy Assault Launchers)	Used to burn & prime enemies, also to chew through enemy shields
Shield Pulse (Support Gear)	Used to fortify the Colossus' defense while under fire

The 2 attack Gears in this build are both meant for close range engagements. The Lightning Coil has a unique feature and are able to be used while using your shields. Use Shield Pulse to boost your defense and get close to your enemy while shielding. Engage your Lightning Coil with the shield up, then start toasting your targets with your Flamethrower for devastating combos.

Due to the nature of this build, these components are aimed to compliment to boost the damage output of your Gears as well as reinforcing the damage sustainability of your Colossus. The Overclocked Regulator and Guardian Insignia is a great tool to have to use in this aggro-taking brawler build.

Fire / Railgun Mid Range Build

This build focuses on dealing with groups of enemies from mid range with the Firewall Mortar's area-of-denial, as well as opening the enemies up for finishing blow with the powerful Railgun. This build will provide great sustained damage and some breathing space, but will have a few moment of cooldown, and require you to rely on your guns more.

Railgun (Heavy Assault Launchers)	Used to detonate combo and takedown armored enemies
Shield Pulse (Support Gear)	Used to fortify the Colossus' defense when under fire

When engaging, use the Firewall Mortar to burn and prime your targets along with with excellent DoT damage, then follow up with your charged Railgun to detonate your targets with blast damage. It would be recommended you try to aim for the tougher targets of the primed group with the Railgun to maximise its Armor Piercing effect.

Explosives Expert	Increases all blast damage.
Heavy Assault Augment	Increases heavy-assault launcher damage.
