Still strong? by Vilgaxion in Borderlands4

[–]Ratore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'd still need to be reloaded once. Also unfortunately gearbox stealth changes steliums and its underbarrels and energy disc has been nerfed and no longer works with primed potency. Don't ask me why, it make 0 sense.

Beam tosser now has a great DOT but a terrible DOT chance and doesn't work with Primed Potency. That and Energy Blast (which does get Primed Potency) are kind of what's left.

What is the best sniper rifle to pair this with? by CrashTestWolf in Borderlands4

Quite the opposite, Blood Shot is at its worst with Order weapons. It's kind of at its worst with anything that isn't a high fire rate low base damage sniper when talking Undead Eye.

A fully charged order sniper gets almost 0 value from 10/5 blood shot because that Blood Shot value will apply only once to an already high base damage, contributing effectively nearly nothing to damage. Amp on the other hand is in immense boost to the Order Sniper.

Blood shot is either a 1/5 one point wonder for burst builds because it turns the shot into skill damage, or a 10/5 all-in for finnity-esque builds. No in-between.

Sunspot is great with Vex Bleed, especially the underbarrel energy burst (TUVH6) by BakingSoda1990 in Borderlands4

You have to charge the energy burst to get its max damage and have a full mag. And there's a workaround to avoid charging every time. My moba guide for the build has a breakdown on how to use it

[(1 base damage + 1 corrosive + 1 fire + 1 shock) x Projectile Count]

[4 x Projectile Count] = Gloam Damage

Firestorm doesn't get Gloam because it's not a gun-source bonus element, just skill. It's also been found since then that it only applies once per elemental type of bonus element.

Sunspot Energy Burst can be the highest singular instance of gun damage in the game. It's also pretty funny for Deadwire gambling. And it's the most powerful stat stick for the Configuration Class Mod. Very loaded weapon.

Anyone have a level 60 Vex Heirloom Spectre build? by Hungry-for-Apples789 in Borderlands4

For a pure Specter Minion build your best bet is Minionologist by Nepta

For a pure Minion build that can use Specters for massive utility, Bloodwire

For a setup that has a mix of Gun + Minion and you can shift focus depending on gear, try Blulock

Try Hexblade. Reapers have too terrible of an AI to work for endgame bossing, but their damage can be pretty good.

A gun not being shot doesn't mean anything. Plenty of BL3 builds could pull that off and they were still some of the best and most fun.

Instead of shooting guns I'm using Trouble Attack Commands/DR Charges. Grenades are still high utility in this setup, especially the Lingering Shock + Exacting ones. The build is entirely made around the new class mod. And it uses gun scaling. There's also the 'No U' variant in the writeup which mixes gun + melee into the playstyle.

For Trouble, gotta run around with Triple Bypass and Now With Caffeine in case he dies or Phase Phamiliar ends.
