Smoooth Insane RT run with@scottzi115 and DVR5, also thanks to @shindukess for the build recommendation! I made a few changes to tailor for my playstyle, but I think the core features are still there, and it smacks.

_________________________

The Perk Grid looks pretty similar to my standard allround Gunner build, with the most powerful essentials for each ability:
- Focus Fire + Overwhelming Fire provide easy access to Down & Out's x1.2 damage buff as well as amazing CC to stop anything you shoot in its tracks
- Disorienting Blast on the grenade gives you another hard CC, while Remote Detonator means you can knock an elite down twice with a direct hit then a delayed explosion, and also lets you airburst for optimal AOE;
- Quickload Interlink is essential for skipping a reload and buffing your team's reload during those elite takedowns, and Stopwatch provides great value firerate and reload value for only 2 squares;
- Targets Acquired keeps cooldowns low for both abilities, for only 3 squares.

The rest of my perk grid I've devoted to CQW perks, with a focus on Firerate, Accuracy, and Reload Speed to make the most out of the Zadak. Likewise for my attachments, I've gone with stuff to buff reload speed, accuracy and firerate - the Counterbalanced Brake is particularly good for a Gunner Zadak as you don't need to bring Tanker Muzzle Brake or Anti-Materiel Brake, since Gunners already have Overwhelming Fire.

That brings my total bonuses for the Zadak to +45% Firerate, +45% Stability, +90% Accuracy, +50% Reload Speed, +15% Weakpoint, +15% Mag Size, +40% Max Ammo, with an additional 20% Firerate and 10% Reload Speed when stopwatch is up. That accuracy means Runner one-shots are very reliable, and if you charge a shot up you can use this shottie well into mid-range.

For my Plasma Rifle, I've gone with a balanced mix of Reload Speed, Accuracy and Firerate again, which is good enough for engaging targets at longer range.
