SULFUR Builds: 7 Strong Weapon, Oil and Enchantment Combos

The best SULFUR builds come from matching your oil type to the gun's base damage — percentage damage oils on big calibers like 7.62 and 50 BMG, flat damage oils on low per-pellet weapons like shotguns — and stacking a scroll that fixes the gun's weakness. Below are seven full combos reported by players, plus the gear and class rules that decide which gun to build first.

Sniper build: M182 Pierre-Fusil or rechambered Majordome

Holy Fire (fire scroll + light scroll) on a rechambered Majordome is the standout sniper combo reported in the SULFUR Steam discussions. Holy Fire pierces enemy masks — which normally eat bullets — and multiplies damage by 50%, solving the main problem slow-firing headshot guns have.

• Base gun: M182 Pierre-Fusil, or use a gun chisel to rechamber the shotgun Majordome into the same caliber. Rechambered, both do identical damage (6-round mag, 350 RPM), but Majordome has 2999 durability vs 1699, takes 4 fewer inventory slots, and can reload at any time; Pierre-Fusil reloads faster but only when empty.
• Attachments: silencer, any scope you like, and a 6" barrel extension, which takes the Pierre-Fusil to 0 spread and 100% aim-down accuracy.
• Oils: Gemini or Tandem for the projectile; players also run Helium/Satiety (Tetris) + Mosquito oil for a bottomless clip, plus Slow Punch for damage and Parallel Mag for an extra projectile.
• Enchantment: Holy Fire scroll. Its railgun effect also makes Slow Punch's bullet-speed penalty irrelevant.

Money-printing shotgun: Toxic Lobotomy

Combine the Surge scroll tier 1 (black lightning) with the Poison tier 1 scroll to get Toxic Lobotomy — +300% headshot damage plus railgun. Pair it with a shotgun and players report you will be "rolling in money all day" funding further builds. Watch the durability: Toxic Lobotomy heavily increases durability lost per shot, so add a penetration oil or two to defeat armor.

Bouncing-scatter shotgun: Flock 76 railgun

One Steam player's build: Flock 76 enchanted with any railgun scroll, plus Two Time, Boomstick, Arkanoid and Slow Punch oil. The result scatters 40 bouncing projectiles at 46 damage each — devastating in corridors and non-open environments, weak outdoors.

General-purpose assault rifle: 12-ga chisel + chain lightning

A go-to all-rounder from the same thread: any assault rifle rechambered to 12Ga shells with Two Time oil, up to two flat damage oils, one penetration oil (ideally one that lowers RPM so you can go full-auto), and the Chain Lightning scroll. Spread sits just under 10, recoil makes it feel semi-auto with a 20–30 round mag, and it handles every situation except sniping and shielded enemies. Round out the loadout with a ~600-damage sniper and a small gun (like the 1x1 Flicker) with a rocket or explosion scroll for walls and amalgamations.

Infinite ammo: the three-oil stack

Infinite ammo needs three oils since the gun-mechanics rework (previously two sufficed), according to a player build video on the newest guns: Mosquito (−40% ammo consumed chance, −15% damage, −30% bullet speed), Tetris (−20% ammo consumed chance, −40% reload speed) and Helium (−40% ammo consumed chance, −40% bullet speed). An alternative stack from the gun-building crash course video: Savior (−100% loot chance), Bulk and Keep, which sums to exactly 100%. On the Chat 98 Songbird, add Rookie oil (+50% RPM while the clip is full), Instant oil (+150% bullet speed) and an A12C muzzle brake (−35% recoil), with an ash wheel and knee pads for a slide-in-and-shoot playstyle.

LMG wall-of-bullets: Warpig + Least Resistance

The Warpig is called the standout of the newest LMGs — fast reload, good RPM, lowest base spread of its class, no gimmick — making it the easiest LMG to build. Put a 12-gauge chisel on it with the Least Resistance scroll (+200% durability loss, −90% bullet speed, but homing bullets), then Suppressive oil (+300% projectile amount), Aesthetic oil (+30 flat damage), Potshot (+35 flat damage), Feature Gun (+30% max durability) and the Breznik BMD tactical barrel. Homing bullets erase every spread and accuracy penalty the oils add.

For the Chat-Pardeur 98, a 50 BMG chisel, 6" barrel extension (−50% spread), Scroll of Explosions, Glass Cannon (+50% damage, −25% max durability), Slow Punch, Gemini and Sherlock oil plus a sniper scope gives an anti-tank feel — though the same player considers the Warpig simply better.

Accuracy-fix kit (any gun)

If bullets keep missing, stack Contained Force (−45% recoil, −20% max durability), Stable Hip (−62% recoil, disables aiming) and Dead Center (−2 spread, +1 recoil), plus a Warmage compensator. The gun becomes a laser beam using only three oil slots, leaving two free for damage or projectiles.

Gear and class rules

• Sheriff's Badge (+15% revolver damage) and Dog Tag (+15% assault rifle damage) make revolvers and assault rifles the two strongest classes to build around, per a player gun-building guide. Defensive staples reported in the same video: ballistic vest (+12 armor, +15% move/accuracy when moving) and titanium helmet (+133% armor, +90% explosion resistance); a Hazmat suit and gas mask give 100% poison protection for Noxia poison-cloud guns.
• Chisels: 50 BMG and 12 gauge are the default picks for maximum damage builds; 9mm, 5.56 and 7.62 mostly serve niche or challenge runs.
• Attachments are safe: gun cranks make semi-autos automatic (the Star & Witness with a gun crank is called one of the best guns in the game), priming bolts do the reverse, laser sights help while moving, and silencers cut recoil and spread. Attachments never affect durability and can be removed at the Weapon Workbench for a fee; enchantments are removed at the Baptismal Font after buying it from Arthur for 10 stamps, per the official Steam page.

FAQ

What are the best SULFUR builds for a mid-range semi-auto gun?

Players recommend the Deathstar or Farsight semi-auto rifles as strong bases even without mods, with a single reload oil; the M182 Pierre-Fusil with a silencer, scope, 6" barrel extension and Gemini or Tandem oil is the other favored mid-range platform, with Holy Fire as the enchantment.

Which oils give infinite ammo?

Post-rework you need three: Mosquito + Tetris + Helium (80% reduced ammo consumed chance from Mosquito and Helium alone), or Savior + Bulk + Keep, which sums to exactly 100%. Infinite-ammo builds cost you an enchantment slot for a scroll or extra oil.

Is quality color worth chasing when picking a build gun?

No. Quality (blue Common to gold Legendary) only affects the find/drop audio-visual effect; it has no effect on a weapon's stats or attributes, per the weapons wiki. Judge builds on caliber, class multiplier and the gun's individual multiplier instead.

Do oils and scrolls hurt durability?

Yes — each enchantment on a gun adds +1 durability consumed per shot, capped at 6 per shot unless an oil or scroll description says otherwise. Attachments are exempt entirely.
