I've just unlocked tank legs but I'm still all-in on my reverse-leg and plasma setup. I just finished The Wall.
The next big boss fight after Wallclimber had me hard stuck for about 7 hours until I eventually built a plasma monster, 2x plasma cannons, 2x plasma mortars on heavy legs. I was really sleeping on the AOE DOT damage, those plasma cannons are better than I gave them credit for. Great for clearing trash mobs too, one shot and you're done. They carried me well on my 8 or so runs farming Wallclimber to get enough cash to get all the heavy armor parts I wanted.
The boss in question had a pulse shield that was ruining my day and after countless attempts of taking down the shield with the pulse rifle or sword and then doing fuck all damage afterward, I decided to just run plasma and deal mediocre damage to the shield and decent damage to the healthbar. It worked out fine. Plasma isn't my first go to weapon to break pulse shields but it does the job well enough, better than bullets.
Tl;dr everyone try the plasma rifles if you haven't
A Meefcake plasma build will demolish everything for chapters to come, until the chapter 4 boss comes and laughs at you
I really like how the game changes it up on you like that.
