SULFUR Klein Bauer Build: Oils, Scroll and Attachments

The best Klein Bauer build posted by a player is the Mutually Assured Destruction Bauer: a 12ga Chamber Chisel, an A12C muzzle attachment, the Scroll of Rocket Launcher, and the oils Stable Hip, Arkanoid, Matrix and Xanny. The poster, daLootWhoreder, shared it in the SULFUR General Discussions on the Steam forums in July 2026 and called it "probably one of the craziest, dumbest, most fun and most useless builds ever" — it fires bouncing rockets out of a pistol.

How the build goes together

The Klein Bauer is a pistol, so it accepts the standard gun modifications in SULFUR: oils, a scroll, attachments and a chamber chisel. A community build calculator confirms the general layering rules: you can stack up to 5 oils, or 4 oils plus 1 scroll, alongside attachments. The Klein Bauer build uses four oils and one scroll:

1. Chamber Chisel

   Apply the 12ga Chamber Chisel first. Shotgun ammo has a high base damage value, and the pistol's damage is the ammo damage multiplied by its class multiplier, so this is the single biggest damage change.

2. Scroll of Rocket Launcher

   Add the scroll in the remaining enchantment layer. Rockets convert every shot into an explosive projectile.

3. Oils

   Layer Stable Hip (minus 62% recoil, disables aiming), Arkanoid (slows bullets about 80% but adds 10 bounces), Matrix and Xanny. Arkanoid is what makes the rockets land, then ricochet around dealing extra damage.

4. Attachments

   Slot the A12C muzzle to tame the recoil from the shotgun chambering. Attachments never affect durability, so fill the rest with whatever you have.

Durability: the hidden cost

Every enchantment you add increases durability consumed per shot by 1, up to a maximum of 6 per shot. This build uses five enchantments, so each shot eats six durability — expect to repair often. Attachments are the only free additions.

FAQ

Can I remove oils or the scroll from the Klein Bauer?

No. A player gun-building guide confirms oils, scrolls and attachments cannot be removed once attached; only attachments can be taken off at the Weapon Workbench for a fee, and enchantments can be removed via the Baptismal Font after buying it from Arthur for 10 stamps.

Where do I buy oils and attachments?

The same guide points out that Kevin sells oils and Ralphie sells weapon attachments, both at the church hub.

What oils should a simpler Klein Bauer build use?

For a plain damage pistol, the guide's community favorite is Tandem oil (minus 15% damage, plus 100% projectiles), which nearly doubles damage per trigger pull.

Check note (2026-11-06): build details come from the SULFUR Steam forums and a player gun-building video; weapon system rules come from the official SULFUR wiki's Weapons page and the Steam store page. The Klein Bauer's exact base stats and the individual effects of Matrix and Xanny oil are not confirmed by the material.
