Some items in this One Armed T-800 shotgun build build require unlocking before they can be used. Note that items listed in "Avoid" sections are also shown here - check the build details to see if unlocking them is necessary for this strategy.

From the start of the run, prioritize increasing your Ranged Damage and Attack Speed. It's also worth investing a little into Economy, but don't overcommit to it, as this build is designed for fast wave clearing rather than maximizing income. Generic Damage is also a valuable stat. Try to avoid items that reduce Range, Armor, or Speed.

By the mid-game, try to upgrade your Shotgun to Tier III or IV as early as possible. This will make clearing enemy waves much easier. Continue building your offensive stats, but start shifting your focus toward survivability by increasing your Max HP and Life Steal. Investing in Critical Chance is also worthwhile. Most importantly, keep your Range at a comfortable level—around 80–120—to ensure consistent performance.

Keep investing in Damage, Ranged Damage, and Attack Speed while continuing to improve your defensive stats. Ideally, you should reach the Dodge cap (60%) by around Wave 17–18. Maintain your Range at a comfortable level, but increase it whenever you have the opportunity. Don't be too aggressive against Elites early on. Once your Shotgun is clearing entire waves with ease and dealing massive critical hits, start attempting to kill Elites and Bosses. If an Elite or Boss deals more damage than you can survive, back off and recover your health through Life Steal before re-engaging.
