Playstyles Edit
The Hellraiser like all classes has several different ways to allocate perks to adjust its strengths and create new play styles tailored around the player. The Hellraiser's skill tree focuses on explosive equipment damage for himself and his team as well as a smaller yet significant focus on increasing the effectiveness of shotguns. While any combination of abilities is allowed some of the more common are listed below.
None of these should be taken as the only way to build, in fact the specific abilities in most should be swapped out depending on the map being played and the builds of your teammates. These are generalist builds that will be capable for most if not all missions and difficulty. Just remember that this is a team oriented game and the higher difficulties require great amounts of collusion between players, as of now no class has a single build that can get past this so every builds most efficient state would be one that compliments the builds of your teammates and is focused on dealing with the map to be played.
Shotgun Specialist Edit
This build requires at least the tier one shotgun to be fully upgraded or a teammate with sufficiently powerful silenced weaponry in order to be played on the higher difficulties. anything lower than five skulls should be fine to handle with the basic silenced pistol. The main strategy of this build is to be the team's horde specialist while remaining reliable throughout the level. Relying on the Thumpers incredible ability to decimate hordes and utilizing Here Kitty as a five second free time to refill ammo, pickup teammates, and generally act as a secondary or primary utility when needed. The main benefit of this build is its generally above average capabilities throughout almost any stage while having a well above average horde focus. This build also has the chance to significantly increase the odds of any teams survival if the players ever find a tier three shotgun. With the upgrades to the tier three and the perks in this build the weapon can easily handle four or more (depending on map) pyramid stacking points on its own indefinitely (as long as an ammo box is nearby) This should be stressed greatly, the power increase of a team when a Shotgun Specialist acquires a tier three shotgun is incredible and getting one should be the focus of not only the Hellraiser but the team as a whole.

The choice to skip over the tier two shotgun perk comes from the lack of significant difference between the two weapons. The tier two shotgun ends with one more point into accuracy, handling, and penetration while the damage is equal and both become silenced.The argument for the tier two will cite the reload speed and penetration (How many Zekes a bullet will travel through) which on specific maps having access to two penetration early can be a major advantage, generally speaking tho with the free breaching charge from Knock Knock you will find a significant replacement for the starting shotgun before two penetration becomes necessary, often times being the tier two shotgun itself. The additional 25% damage to specials and the 50% increased range will often make you the teams Bull killer due to how ammo efficient you are when dealing with them. A common strategy with this build is to set C4 nearby your holding location and then refilling your equipment stock when defending as a last line of defense that will deal with the front line of a wave and then with Free Refill II will allow you to keep firing till you've hopefully been able to reposition necessarily or have dealt with the breach.
