This build completely breaks the game by abusing reload-triggered Psionic effects. When built correctly, every single shot causes a reload, and every reload becomes damage, crowd control, and survivability. On high difficulty, you can literally stand next to bosses and let the build do the work.
R.I.P. Reincarnation Insurance Program Psionic Build Guide
The entire build revolves around one rule:
Reload as often as possible.
Every reload triggers:
- Explosions
- Shields
- Projectile bursts
- Status effects
- Massive Psionic damage scaling
If you reload after every shot, the game collapses.
Character & Weapon Requirements
You must use a character or weapon that reloads after every shot.
Best options:
- Grenadier
- Sniper with single-shot weapon
- Assault character with a 2-round weapon (single-shot versions can appear in orange slots)
Magazine size must be 1 (or effectively 1).
The faster the reload cycle, the stronger the build.
Main Skill Tree: Psionic
You fully commit to the Psionic tree. Reload-triggered Psionic effects are the engine of this build.
Mandatory Skills (Build Core)
Shockwave Protocol (Epic – Psionic)
After reloading, you release an explosive shockwave around yourself.
Why this is broken:
Since you reload after every shot, this shockwave triggers constantly, turning your character into a walking explosion.
Frost Shield (Legendary – Passive)
After reloading, gain a temporary shield.
- Shield refreshes before it expires
- Scales extremely well
- Makes you nearly unkillable
This is what enables true AFK boss fights.
Split Projectiles (Legendary – Psionic)
After firing the last bullet in the magazine, shoot multiple projectiles outward.
- 13 extra bullets
- +25% bullet damage
- Excellent for applying freeze, poison, and explosion procs
Even if your base weapon damage is low, this effect carries the build.
Explosions Are Art (Mythic – Passive)
Explosion effects have a 10% chance to deal 500% damage.
Why this completely breaks the game:
- Shockwave Protocol counts as an explosion
- Split Projectiles frequently trigger explosive effects
- Reload frequency is extremely high
Bosses melt in seconds.
Best Damage Types
The strongest combinations are:
- Freeze
- Poison
- Explosions
Freeze + Poison is ideal. With the right perks, you gain shields when damaging frozen or poisoned enemies, which stacks perfectly with Frost Shield.
If you hit this synergy, bosses physically cannot break your shields.
Armor & Stats Priority
- Heavy armor is strongly recommended
- Health > Shields > Psionic Damage
- Movement speed is irrelevant
You are not dodging. You are tanking everything.
