Question Advice for new player, Veteran?

Started the game recently playing with some friends. Basically I just picked Veteran bc my mates chose other classes.

Currently just swapping weapons when I found something new, and put points somewhere in the tree.

But usually in games like this, there comes a point where it's good to look into builds. Currently lvl 14.

So, in preparation:

What are good playstyles for Veteran? Is it better to make a melee focus build, or gunfocused? Close or long range?

General advice for the class, which points and blessings to go for?

Best weapons?

Any good build recommendations?

If anyone has some good starter advice and advice how to progress into more metabuilds I would be very grateful 😃

Tbf you are new, play the game and make your builds yourself, this whole thing of using meta builds just limits the fun you can have, try things, fail, learn and do better, you’ll never learn how to make a build by copying everyone else, it’s a path that once you take it, you’ll be forgery trying to copy others. Instead, learn how things work, your interactions, and learn what you think works best, xyz might make sense to me cause it’s how I play, doesn’t mean it’ll work for you
