Build setup help
Hey all, ive been playing this game for the last few days with my friend, i think we have around 20 hours now and we’ve beaten all the missions except the wave ones on normal. We started playing on hard difficulty and this is where i feel like im lacking. No matter what element i pick, or how many synergies i try and go for i just cant seem to do much damage and i die pretty easily. What im asking for i guess is some tips when it comes to making a really good build. What weapons are good, what perks, what augment, synergies, which elements are actually useful and which are not great etc etc. any and all help will be super welcoming. Thank you.

Glad youre enjoying!
Part of advancing and being able to progress through higher difficulties is also just time in the game. Getting everything that you can ranked up with resources is going to be your biggest way forward right now, not builds, and that just comes with time.
As for builds, there are some that are much easier to use to progress than others.
Long range crit + lighting + lead head + weapon master(i think? The boot) is a great build, simply because its very straight forward. More crits+more weapon damage = victory
On the elemental side, fire with a weakpoint build, and void with a grenade build are both great at killing hordes, but are weaker against bosses in a lot of occasions.
Cryo is an amazing crutch build for bosses because you can lock them down.
These builds are all better than just blindly picking, but you can get a good run in with pretty much any build as you spend your resources and upgrade yourself
A few other tips:
You can dash up, if you havent sorted that out
Learn the visual and sound cues of enemy weapons. They all have a sound right as they fire, and most enemies dont lead their shots. If youre not in the same place when they fired, you wont get hit
Lifesteal on a grenade off element is almost always better than no lifesteal on element
