The interaction this build abuses is between Engineer's relic perk, which refills ammo into your heavy weapon/turret, and Invader's Reboot ability, which resets your relic charges to the amount you had on cast, effectively granting infinite relics with the only limitation being skill CD. Reboot normally resets your heavy weapon ammo as well, but we can get around this because when the turret is placed down, it retains all ammo generated during Reboot. Between Reboot and Overclock, we get a turret that we can constantly refill with ammo to kill bosses without shooting our guns at all.
You don't have to use the Flamethrower with Energized Neck Coil. Any of the turrets will work (I recommend Impact Cannon with Detonation Trigger for bosses with smaller arenas), I'm just using this combo here because it kills the trash ads pretty well to prevent the boss from healing off them. For the amulet, Ankh of Power and Legacy Protocol are also both solid options.
Explanation of the Co-op support build:
The Cleansing Stone amulet creates a strong pulse of healing over a massive 30m (with Amplitude) radius and cleanses you of status effects every time you use a relic while affected by status. Despite stating that it works with specifically elemental status effects, it does in fact work with bleed, as demonstrated at the end where cleansing the bleed healed my turret. However, the healing pulse does not heal you, only allies, making this interaction only useful in co-op. By using Atonement Fold to permanently bleed ourselves, we can trigger this heal with every relic use and output a ridiculous amount of burst healing to all allies in a large area, on top of having an infinite ammo turret to contribute to the fight while we're munching relics.
Note that my turret was affected by bleed during the demonstration at the end, causing it to receive only 50% healing - that is how strong the heal is. As a bonus, using relics while your turret ammo is full makes you shit out ammo bricks, turning you into a walking ammo depot for your allies.
Burden of the Divine combined with Tranquil Heart lets us share a small amount of passive healing with allies to keep them topped up between Reboot relic spam rotations. Tormented Heart is also solid if you want to pulse some AoE while munching relics. Burden of the Stargazer lowers Reboot and Overclock's cooldowns even further. I would recommend the Impact Cannon for co-op, since it can't friendly fire on your allies.
This build is pretty hard-countered by Empathy bosses, which is why you bring Twisting Wounds to cut their healing in half. If you keep bleed on, don't mindlessly spam relics, and instead only heal when your allies need it, Empathy is not a dealbreaker, and it's not like this is a super serious build anyway.
Use whatever you want for weapons and mods. Nebula is great since its mod will do its thing while you're walking around munching relics, and Feedback gives it high uptime. Song of Eafir is my utility mod of choice (we also already take Amplitude so its AoE is massive), and the long gun is only there to carry Twisting Wounds for bleed if necessary. You can also slap on some heavy armor since we already get Fortify from Engineer, and Atonement Fold has great synergy with Hardcore Metal Band to give 5 permanent Bulwark stacks, allowing you to get quite tanky. Hardcore Metal Band is the flex slot, swap it for whatever you want if you don't care about the extra DR.
I would also recommend the Wrathbringer melee if you don't need the projectile of World's Edge, since Atonement Fold's bleed permanently stacks its passive for +50% damage.

Very cool build.👍 I’m at the end of my first Apocalypse Build. Annihilator has “Spiteful/Thick Skin” and is wrecking me. I’m using a Medic/Summoner Tank build but he’s wrecking me. What kind of build would you recommend. You have a new subscriber. Enjoyed the vid. 🤘

I don't think the first build is goofy at all. Personally I'd use it as an explosive build with Rupture Cannon and Tormented Heart.
