Skill Descriptions

Time to Hunt Icon Time to Hunt can only use Pistol & Rifle skills. This gives you more room to spend skill points not only on your primary DPS abilities, but also filler skills. Majority of your DPS comes from your Rifle skills with your pistol skills rounding out the remaining two or three.

Tripods

Prioritize Rifle skills' tripods first to secure a large increase in DPS. Pistol skills like Bullet Rain Icon Bullet Rain & Meteor Stream Icon Meteor Stream also have some that you will want to obtain. Those skills are a good chunk of DPS, combined about a quarter of your damage so don't skimp on those tripods!
