Vicious Cycle

Vicious Cycle lets you follow a melee hit with a ranged shot that does heavy damage. It is a Tier 1 Ranged skill that mixes melee and guns into one quick finishing move.

Type: Active
Skill tree: Ranged
Tier: 1
Cost: 1 skill point
What it does: Lets you follow a melee hit with a ranged shot that does heavy damage.

Good to know

It is a Tier 1 Ranged skill, so it is available from your first skill point.
Land a melee hit, then fire right after to trigger the big damage shot.
It works best against a single enemy up close.
Focused Shot and Fight And Flight share its tier.

Is it worth it

It is a fair Tier 1 pick, but Focused Shot is more important. Take it when you need another point in the tier.

Works well with

Bull Rush and Talk Shit, Get Hit, which set up close-range moments.

Tips

Use it on a human who closes in on you. The shot after the hit is often enough to finish them.
