This build uses various hidden buffs to optimize Pain Train damage. especially regarding the weapon. To get the best results, you should bring down the durability of the Gatling Plasma to 1%. Note: firing into the air to get bullet storm stacks does NOT cost any durability, just ammo. Notes on the armor: Vulcan is the BIS for this build, but any PA that can have Tesla Bracers will do (no Excav/Ultracite!)

When he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

When he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

When he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
