Tips and Tricks

Montana is a heavy gunner that uses brute force and a massive minigun to demolition enemy forces. The minigun will overheat and stop, but Helix upgrades can reduce the heat or stop the gun from overheating at the risk of hurting Montana.

Keep Montana on the frontlines to withstand damage while outputting a ton. Montana has a massive amount of health compared to many other Battleborn. His base health at Level 10 is 2776 HP, but it can be more if you choose the Helix upgrades that boost his HP.

When it comes to gear, use items that boost his health regeneration and shields to withstand more damage, items that boost his critical hit ratio to output more damage, and items that boost shield penetration. Taking down shields with the minigun would make Montana a very useful ally.
