TheKillerAngel's video: Bioshock Infinite 1999 Mode - Vanguard Style

Charge it up! Gear used: Hat: Burning Halo - A solid choice, the 70% chance to burn on charge provides excellent damage and CC and I believe it can be comboed with charge to produce explosions. Vest: Pyromaniac - This was sub-optimal but I did not have Blood to Salt, which would be the best choice Pants: Brittle Skinned - Absolutely essential for the build, charge is a melee attack and will cause targets to take 2x damage for 5 seconds. Boots: Overkill - AoE stun on killing an enemy? Essential for dealing with large groups. Ideally used with both Shotguns. Charge should be your primary skill, undertow as a secondary. Use undertow to pull enemies that you can't charge. You need regular access to salts for this to be optimal, but it will absolutely trivialize most enemies on 1999 mode. Use the shotgun for mooks and the heater for bosses. A headshot with the shotgun is capable of doing over 4000 damage, and crits with the Heater on bosses like the Siren can do over 5000 damage. If you don't get the reference, go watch some Vanguard gameplay videos from Mass Effect 2/3.
