March 26, 2022: We're going to make a start on updating this Lost Ark Gunslinger build guide to reflect the most recent patch.

If you’re looking for a scrappy ranged fighter, then our Lost Ark Gunslinger build guide has exactly what you need. The Gunslinger in Lost Ark is a dynamic DPS class focused on high mobility and dealing extensive damage at all ranges, though settling on a class Engraving may remove their up-close attack capabilities

Either way, the Gunslinger is a solid choice for PvP and PvE, especially with these builds. This Gunslinger guide covers the best choices for leveling (PvE, essentially), Raids, and PvP. Note we've opted for the Peacemaker class Engraving, which boosts critical rate and lets you continue using the shotgun.

For more guides, we suggest reading up on Lost Ark controller support. That's a nice way to play it like a console game on your couch. And if you're playing for the first time, our Lost Ark leveling guide can speed things up.

Bset Lost Ark Gunslinger Build For PvE

The Gunslinger’s leveling build includes a broad range of attacks and attack types, from heavy-hitting combo moves to those designed to increase mobility. That’s good, since mobility is key in most of Lost Ark’s bigger conflicts. When you need to keep your distance and do more damage than just the regular sniper rifle allows, Spiral Tracker, Death Fire, and Bullet Rain keep you safe without letting the fight drag on.

This build's shotgun and rifle skills are where most of your damage comes from, and unlike the PvP build, it leans more heavily into AoE attacks and those that deal continuous damage.

Best Lost Ark Gunslinger Build For PvP

The Gunslinger PvP build uses most of the same skills, but the skill point investment is heavier, which opens more options for runes/tripods. The goal here is augmenting the base skills and giving them more destructive power. For example, AT02 Grenade is fine on its own, but the Freeze rune gives it significantly more utility in a PvP setting. Adding Excellent Mobility lets you move even further after using a skill, including skills that already have extra movement built in. Your enemies can’t hit you if they can’t catch you.

The Shotgun and Rifle skills are fairly straightforward and focus on dealing tremendous amounts of damage and close and long range. They might be more limited in scope, but these are the skills that will see you through to victory.

What Are the Best Gunslinger Raid Skills?

The Raid build emphasizes the shotgun and rifle more than the pistols, expanding on the Gunslinger’s more powerful skills to make short work of foes. The Shotgun build in particular brings out the best of the Peacemaker Engraving and works wonders with a Crit-focused equipment loadout, especially Rapid Fire and Sharpshooter. It's a powerful build sure to see you through the toughest endgame challenges Lost Ark throws at you.
