Best Fire Element Build in Deadzone: Rogue

There's a variety of builds for players to try in Deadzone: Rogue, and for those who want to make their guns feel extra spicy, then a Elemental build should do the trick. One can consider Elemental damage as the bread-and-butter build path in this game, and they're both simple and easy to use right out of the box.

Like in most other roguelikes, you'll want to get the perfect combination of weapons and perks to make a good build here. Players don't need that many perks and items to get a good Elemental build going, but if you're looking to deal the most damage possible in Deadzone: Rogue, here's a guide covering all the things you should look out for during your runs.

Deadzone: Rogue - Fire Weapon Build

Deadzone Rogue Arcblade versus Siphon boss

This build focuses on Burn and Combustion effects to deal massive damage. Like all other Elemental builds, this will require an Augment with the Elemental tag to maximize your weapons' proc chances.

Perks and Items

Any Elemental Augment will work with this, and what you pick is all up to personal preference. However, we do recommend Hipfire - Elemental so you can run and gun with extreme efficiency. Alternatively, Short Range: Elemental is a good pick if you like getting up close and personal (or if you find yourself dying to melee mobs often).

While you should absolutely take Primary Perks that improve Fire Damage, also keep an eye out for the following:

Deadzone: Rogue Fire Build - Perks
Perk	Effects
Shield Optimizer	Increases your Shield and reduces Shield Recharge Delay. Deal more damage when Shield is over 50%.
Locked and Loaded	Increases gun damage and refills the ammo of your stowed gun when you get a kill.
Ascending Swap	Gain increased weapon damage. When you switch weapons, you also gain increased fire rate and even more weapon damage.
Mag Link	Gain bonus damage and increased swap speed. When you swap, your shots consume no ammo for 3 seconds.

Since this is a roguelike game, you likely won't be able to get all the ideal stuff for this build. If you still want to try it out, the following are all great options for any elemental build:

Deadzone: Rogue Fire Build - Items
Item	Effect
Elemental Attenuator	Gain up to 50% more Elemental Damage for every enemy affected by an elemental debuff.
Bio Gel	Using a grenade increases Proc Chance by 40% for 4 seconds.
Power Bank	Elemental effect proc chance increases by 30%
Glow Sticks	Proc chance against nearby targets increases by 30%
Magnetized Gauntlet	Swap weapons twice as fast.
Salt Shaker	Deal more Weakpoint damage against targets suffering from elemental debuffs
Enhanced Holster	After swapping weapons, your fire rate is increased.
Elemental Catalyst	Enemies take more damage for each elemental debuff applied to them.
Pistol Charm (Zone 2)	Your Primary Weapon has a chance to also proc your Secondary Weapon's elemental effects.
Rifle Charm (Zone 2)	Your Secondary Weapon has a chance to also proc your Primary Weapon's elemental effects.

Generally speaking, anything that improves your ammo capacity, proc chance, elemental damage, and weapon swapping is good for this build.

Weapons

For this build, it's best to use two automatic weapons so you can keep spitting bullets at enemies without worrying much about range or precision. Any weapon should do, but there are some that stand out.

The Arcblade SMG and Snapdragon Machine Pistol make for a terrifying duo when used together. Both have very high fire rates, and if you stack enough Proch Chance on your items, perks, and armor, these can fill your screen with flames in no time. If you're lucky enough to get both, make sure they have Combustion and/or Ignition affixes. Combustion gives your weapons a chance to cause explosions from enemies you hit, dealing massive damage to them and nearby enemies. Meanwhile, Ignition gives you guns a chance to Burn targets.

Equip your secondary weapon, melee weapon, and grenade with different elemental damage types to take advantage of certain perks/items.

If RNG doesn't bless you with either of these weapons, great alternatives include:

Vanguard Assault Rifle
Tempest Machine Gun
Blitz SMG
Juggernaut Machine Gun

Machine Guns somewhat suffer from their low fire rate and slow reload speeds, but they hit harder than other automatic weapons, and they have much larger magazines. With the right perks and items, they become just as strong as the Arcblade and Vanguard.

As for sidearms, the Tritek-3SB is also a decent alternative to the Blitz and Snapdragon. The rest are decent, though this build does cater more to weapons with high fire rates since it relies on on-hit elemental procs.
