Helix choices and why

In this section I will go over which helix choices you should roll with and why. The highlighted choices are my personal recommendations.This one depends on the person playing Whiskey Foxtrot. If you are experienced with using Sticky Grenade, I recommend Weighed Down as it makes the affected enemy an easier target. If not, I recommend either Shield Scrapper or Flak Off depending on if the enemy has a lot of melee characters or not.Another situational choice. If you have previously picked Flak Off I recommend Scrap Banker as it allows you to hold additional charges for your Scrap Cannon. If not, I recommend Swiss Cheese as it allows you to do 25% extra damage to enemy targets.Had this been before the 19th of september 2016, I would have recommended the ACOG scope. But since Gearbox changed said scope for the worse to the point where you have very narrow vision, making tracking targets incredibly hard, I recommend the Red Dot Sight.This is a matter of personal taste. If you are good at hitting with the Sticky Grenade, Stick 'n' Sap is not a bad option for draining the shields on an enemy target, allowing them to be finished off by your Tactical Rifle. For all other situations I would recommend either Sticky MIRV or Triple Threat as it allows you to blanket an area easily with grenades, increasing your chances of hitting a target.Health regen on killing an enemy is good. Health regen when killing an enemy is even better. Get this as clearing a minion wave becomes much easier with Sticky MIRV, allowing you to replenish a lot of health very easily. In lieu of this mutation, I recommend Speed Burst for relocating more rapidly.Napalm; the smell of victory. This upgrade is excellent for area denial and minion wave clearing. Always choose this if you can. If you lack this mutation, either of the other two will do, although Flack Back in combination with Flak Off will be helpful against melee Battleborn.Having faster reload means that you are more likely to finish off that elusive low-health enemy. Shield penetration is only useful if the enemy has full shields and very low health, an unlikely scenario.As Whiskey Foxtrot is best used at medium range, I recommend getting Long-Distance Flak to maximise your chances of hitting an enemy with your Scrap Cannon. The inherent spread from Spread Shot makes it incredibly difficult to hit an enemy at range.As Stronger Stickies doesn't affect napalm damage, I recommend Swift Stickies instead to reduce your cooldown time on the Sticky Grenade.Picking Overoverdrive gives you an additional 25 rounds with which to gun down the enemy with, being especially useful against enemies with no shields. However, should the enemy team have a Reyna or Kleese, What Shields? is an excellent alternative as you can negate their rapid shield-regenerating abilities completely.
