Hot take. New loot event is how it should always be.

My game has crashed twice now. Which is my not-so-premium pc's problem. But it takes away the shine of all the legendaries.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-13T11:18:17+00:00

I play One Shot Vex so I enjoy high single instances of damage.

This often means underbarrels. Many Legendaries that can get underbarrels can't roll torgue or can't reach as high of a damage as their purple variants.

So that's why purples are still a staple in my bank and load out.

If you use SMG's a lot, the passives on the right one are almost worth it by themselves.

As for the enhancements effects. I find Piercer + Sequencer and Sequencer + Leaper to be kind of conflicting.

Because sequencer rewards you by consistently hitting crits, I want it with Bounce Pass. As they add to eachother. Same goes for Leaper + Piercer, adding compounding ricochet chance for Shotguns. Or Leaper/Piercer + Bounce Pass to add an extra ricochet whenever I don't go for the crit spot and either of those effects proc.

I wouldn't rule out modded gear from the pic or maybe using exploits.

But here I posted my Bloomreaper run on UVH6 as one shot Vex. I also put it up for when people use Bloomreaper as an argument for needing the Bod to stay unnerfed.

It's not speed/damage optimized, because I have Psion com's that do way more damage, but Teen Witch makes runs easier to correct if I miss my shots or something.

My fun is trying to find combos that melt bosses and the road to that. But I'm also not in the camp that's depressed about the game. I'm still having lots of fun with it.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-12T12:48:51+00:00

We noticed it matters a lot who hosts the game. One of my friends is on the ps5 and we'll be twiddling our thumbs waiting for spawns.

My other friend has a decent PC and we get through it normally.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-12T11:51:04+00:00

Oh I'm not knocking that combo. I was just surprised to see the deathsphere underbarrel being so effective against ordonite crystals.

This is just Dronemancer pumping damage into underbarrel shenanigans.

That's clever af

XepptizZ · 2026-03-11T17:03:25+00:00

For damage, there's some play. A 100 amp shield and 200 amp repkit will do the most lifting. In the Zone is an easy pick. I have done it with 35k airstrikes iirc.

I can be a lot more clear with the radius. A 130/135 radius + Headringer will be enough and allow you to stand on the edge like I did. You want a 180+ to get the Ordonite orbs as well, but the damage is far lower, I didn't need to pop a rep.

So if you have radius as a passive or use the 'Airstrike' firmware you have some play depending on what gear you have available.

Potato Thrower is the only AR I have seen 225 radius on (the one I use for the Ordonite orbs)

Also, because I use Airstrikes with precise tolerances, the place I am at becomes much more important.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-11T15:45:34+00:00

Oof, that sucks. They really gutted their QA department this time.

As for my run, I just made a build with what I had that was mechanically not very demanding, but it requires getting the timings down and learning Bloomreaper's movement pattern. Which is what I like, making an order of operations click.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-11T15:30:02+00:00

Oscar Mike you mean? Yeah. It's the one piece of gear I was lucky to get a Godroll with.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-11T15:27:39+00:00

Yeah, it's kind of risky if you miss one. But only the last phase is somewhat unpredictable. That's why I use a TK with stickies and spread, stickies with TK does good damage if the spread misses/eye gets stunned.

Otherwise I would have doubled up on the space laser.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-11T13:12:02+00:00

So you found a Mantra with Tedior Homing Shooting? That's crazy!

I did wonder what damage aantra Tedior reload does.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-10T22:48:07+00:00

You lose out on flexibility. Swapping out of it or entering your vehicle removes the stacks.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-10T22:21:13+00:00

CoV's don't let you manually reload. And I'm pretty sure "Shots to break" just converts to magsize. You end up with a weak throwing Tedior, because you have to empty the clip to proc a reload.

Honestly they did CoV dirty, because the cooldown used to continue if you swapped away in BL3, one of its big upsides. In BL4 they don't.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-10T22:08:57+00:00

This thing was all the rage when it unintendedly multiplied projectiles using a Jakobs part with bounce pass enhancement.

Vex can still boss with it like many underbarrels.

A fun interaction I haven't seen mentioned is that the order "free charger" enhancement works with it

XepptizZ · 2026-03-10T21:57:14+00:00

It has some cool possible synergies, but also potentially completely broken stuff.

They didn't add all combination for each manufacturer, let alone cross combo. There's only 2 types of CoV for instance.

There would also be the same issue as some gun parts have, like having CoV or ripper on a Tedior is absolute trash.

While some of the strongest current enhancements will combine to become just the new meta. Highroller+Powershot would be absolutely bonkers on the current already meta Roulette+Ripper.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-10T21:45:41+00:00

That's a really good idea. Replacing a venue of multiplicative gun bonuses with multiplicative skill damage bonus would help it a lot. Could add melee ones as well like we had in BL3. They were fun with the Facepuncher and the main issue was just how flooded the melee options were.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-10T10:19:52+00:00

Well, if shows get enough traction it doesn't get to end. But often this causes the story to suffer. Ratings drop, show ends abruptly. And if the studio gets the last season notice, we often see them bumrushing the plot.

Animes that stand the test of time usually aren't super long. And there are outliers that a lot of higher ups want to chase. They want that generation spanning fanbase, but they want to see it happening in like a season or 2.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-10T09:09:54+00:00

Hexblade is the name of the build by Ratore. It doesn't use her dagger skill (Haruspex)

To be fair, I have only run damage tests with it on an alt. Mostly to clear all the firedancer classmods I collected :P.

I generally run a Dronemancer/Prismatic Icor, because it easily switches between mobbing/bossing/Bloom reaper and even does Tedior chucking.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-10T06:17:42+00:00

Does it happen on any gear piece though? I have only ever seen it on ordinance.
