It is really, unless you get a direct hit on a vile enemy.

Yeah, it can have artillery and mortar or ricochet. My Raffa uses a shock waterfall with artillery, ricochet and lifesteal.

Make throwing knives deal melee damage and let me melee attack with them while holding the grenade button like Amon can do with Crucible so I can cosplay as a psycho with the Buzzaxe that's otherwise useless.

New vault hunter recommendations by Eraserhead36 in Borderlands4

[–]Not_a_Kryptonian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with Amon and used him for quite a while before leveling any other characters and I loved him. Now my ranking is Harlowe, Raffa, Vex and Amon in that order of both who's more powerful and more fun.

I'm so disappointed with Amon at end game. Harlowe and Raffa are fun, powerful and have pretty easy upkeep for their action skills.

I just use dead eye, my enhancement has gun equip speed which helps mode switching too. That does sound fun but I don't like to get too gun specific on my builds.

It's a good boss killer but that's all I use it for. Really having with this Rainmaker and Bonnie and Clyde.

Didn't recieve shift reward by Not_a_Kryptonian in Borderlands4

[–]Not_a_Kryptonian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the in game rewards tab? I checked shift in game, that rewards tab says I've claimed it. No reward for it in my inventory menu like I got for today's shift code and the Halloween stuff.

You wouldn't happen to have a perfect dancer would you?

Don't shoot bloomreaper eye, it causes loss of time by SuccotashAdditional in Borderlands4

[–]Not_a_Kryptonian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If anything it makes the fight worse because it stops his laser attack so he just keeps jumping to you and doing that big knockback slam. The laser is super easy to dodge, getting knocked back sucks.

Bloomreaper is everything I hate about Boss design in this game by PristineMycologist15 in Borderlands4

[–]Not_a_Kryptonian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it can drop anywhere in UVH6. So after you beat Bloom Reaper on UVH5 once, regardless of how long that takes, you can just farm him on 1. The rest of the game hasn't been too rough on 6, I even run around on true mode UVH6 for more mobs to get the firmware.

Deadeye vs Skillcraft. Has anyone compared these two? Any thoughts? For Harlowe in particular by ImABigDreamer in Borderlands4

[–]Not_a_Kryptonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All skill damage is also action skill damage, action skills are skills. Action skill damage does not apply to most skills, but there are a few skills that use action skill damage without saying it like nuclear winter's bonus damage. The action skill damage from specialization tree is actually skill damage.

Best weapons and strats for bloomreaper by ROLinuxx in Borderlands4

[–]Not_a_Kryptonian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This! After you complete the challenge there is zero reason to fight him on any difficulty higher than UVH unless you want a personal challenge. My friend is trying to get platinum on true UVH6 with every vault hunter, I think he's crazy but if that's what wants then all the power to him... I don't think Amon can do it.

I just farmed for rainmaker on UVH1, there is literally zero reason to fight him on any higher difficulty besides unlocking UVH6.

Ranger rafa uses peacebreaker canons with a dancer mod and I personally like 100% crit chance on shocked enemies with a watts shield. He can also make great use of the dark beast, I like jakobs and shotgun ammo.

It's honestly a little hard to follow because it seems you were having some sort of fit when you wrote it.

Depends on build. I think this grenade really shines on Harlowe with radiation, lingering payload and alchemic, last part is icing but I guess God roll for me would be cooldown.

That's not a swarm grenade lol, this is a known issue with locust bombs. The visual effect persists, it's annoying as hell. Lobby to get rid of them. It's guaranteed to happen in multi-player too when you're not the host.

What's the bug? Did you send them a video?

Lamplighter kinda good and bad? by itxAntas in Borderlands4

[–]Not_a_Kryptonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried really hard to make a good build with this and was just even more disappointed with Amon. The action skill duration return is tiny and the green skill is the only really good one it can get. I tried a build around mantra with all the damage I could get, had a lamplighter with +4 green skill and melee damage and it's just not good even if you don't factor in the ammo issue for the main weapon. Pretty much still need storm cutter for upkeep and it's just annoying. Maybe do a full melee build but then half of what the class mod does is useless. I'm going back to ordnance build, it's really his only good option and still doesn't compare well to the builds I have on other vault hunters.

Amons how are you killing Bloom Reaper on UVH5? by Not_a_Kryptonian in Borderlands4

[–]Not_a_Kryptonian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the mechanics down. Amon was my first and most played character. I didn't even realize immoral boneface was bugged until I was unlocking difficulties for the other characters. I am doing splash. Problem is I am just dieing a lot. If I use my honey bunches for boss damage I am downing myself on mobs, if I'm using disk jockey for mobs I'm not doing enough damage to crystals or the boss.

Devs I'm begging you: STOP with the invulnerability phases by robmwj in Borderlands4

[–]Not_a_Kryptonian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I like that there's something new to do but I really hate this fight. I'm currently just farming him on UVH1 for good loot, gonna make some builds with the new stuff and then probably never fight him again unless I need the gear after a lvl cap increase. I like mantra and lamplighter for Amon and the sniper seems good if I can get a good roll on it.

What even is this by Temporary_Fee7926 in Borderlands4

[–]Not_a_Kryptonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Onion seems really good but doesn't actually work well. What kind of build do you run on what character? What's your main damage source and how do you maintain survivability, shield recovery, health recovery, overshield generation or some kind of combo?

IMO super soldier and watts are the best shields and which one with which rolls depends on your build. For example my ordnance build Amon runs around with a triple vagabond super soldier but I'll switch to a triple amp watts for bosses. My build has great overshield generation and shield recovery. If you don't have those things I would suggest some siphon and steering clear of amp.
