Melts everything

Remember to always check these little weapon crates, you never know what’s inside😅

i’ve killed him thousands of times. i owe a lot to him. one day i’m going to spawn him in and leave without killing him as thanks.

Working on bringing back things from previous games !

Sucks that I no longer can roll the Tortoise Collector though.

Loot midgets make looting more exciting because they appear at random and usually have good loot on them. If BL4 gets a year 2 please add them and add a Synth version of Jimmy Jenkins

Randomly stumbled upon this while completing one of the storyline quests in the DLC and it’s absolutely insane compared to any other weapon in my inventory. It does almost triple the DPS of every weapon I’ve picked up/found so far. Would you guys consider this a good drop? I haven’t played BL since BL2 so I know nothing about anything as of right now lol. I’m the definition of a causal these days. Really enjoying the game so far when I have time to play! Just figured I’d share this! Lmk!

Best if done on mayhem 20 for better drop rate, you can also try to go for marshall claw at the same time since the snipe ain't half bad. We don't care about the lil sister right? If you kill all three they won't respawn so either kill 1 or 2.

Aside from the save editor, who do you think is the most farmed boss in the game. My thoughts are between origo, sol, and splash zone. Radix, lictor, and road birds are probably also in contention. Captain willis probably as well.

Only the initial bonus damage applies though unless if you start firing your gun while aiming.

Shout out to Power Pyx and every other player that managed to find this dumbass burritos organically and upload it for us. You could give me 100 years and I wouldn't have been able to find ONE 😭

Neat little trick if you are C4SH and running out of ammo in M15+ Takedown.

Was it always in the game? I just noticed recently after 200 hours in the game.

how are you as all dealing with cash ammo? he always seems to run out of ammo. I have 3/3 on war wagon and maximized kinetic damage to feed into it but ammo Regen still seems weak. I tried super soldier as well. still weak.

So there is a glitch where you get all the ennemies in first round, then you can also fight all the rest of the round as usual and that makes a silent crisis with 2 bosses.

Did you guys ever get that glitch?

Since when has DLC weapon drops with non installed been a thing. Can pick it up but can't equip it.

Right now for bossing i use the crow sourced and solar temper while mobbing i use a shalasheshka and a mantra but I want more options what do you recommend ?

Hi All,

Having a bit of trouble finding anyone through matchmaking so seeing if anyone wanted to party up?
I’m a level 34 Exo-Soldier currently, have completed campaign and looking to team up to take on some of the Invincible Bosses or other difficult bosses you may suggest.

I’m on PS5 but not sure if that matters as I noticed crossplay is enabled? I’m also located in Australia if needed to be known for timezone or connectivity reasons.

Let me know, thanks!

So, maybe I am a dummy, but how do I access the mayhem or timed modes for Subjugator and Thol?

I have been them both ways, pretty fast but nothing extra?

How do I activate this, can someone explain this like to a 5 year old ?

Thanks all.

As said, zero melee. Plague Star contamination/status effects/gun build. 59 points green. 5 points red. 5 points blue.

Green tree Loveless seemed to top out at UVH 3/4, especially so in bossing. I’ve been determined to push melee-free status+guns Loveless to UVH7. Absolute success (still enjoying some min-maxing/finalizing).

Surprisingly, bossing is the easiest part. Generally essentially instantaneous, hence the minute-and-ten-second UVH7 Subjugator & Thol clear in my provided picture.

There are a few key elements. It certainly uses some strong, meta equipment. Watts, Decompiler, Devourer. Additionally, the Plague Engineer class mod, + a Ripper teleporting grenade of choice. Skillcraft x3, Deadeye or personal preference x2.

Essential basics:

–Farm element-matching sets of Decompiler shotgun + Devourer sniper. Loveless boosts both corrosive & radiation damage, so I do 99.9% of content with those 2 elements, depending on situation or preference. (I switch to an incendiary set to shave off seconds of the latter half of raid boss fights).

–Bossing Decompiler shotgun: Requirement–Torgue Stickies. For example, mine has a corrosive mag size of 4. I fire 4 sticky shots onto any boss, immediately switch to corrosive Devourer and hold the trigger down for 1 shot. Everything in the game dies immediately, with the sometimes-exception of final-form raid bosses, which can take 1-3 sticky/snipe volleys (aka a few more seconds).

Edit: The Ripple assault rifle defaults to have corrosive stickies. It has far less high-end DPS, but is an easy access option for you to try the sticky volley/snipe. Basic tanky enemies/bosses will demonstrate well. Technically also very strong for mobbing with this build, but I find sticky mobbing to be slow and clumsy. Testing with a Ripple, it would be ideal for your Devourer sniper to have a fast charging time/fire rate to shoot the shot as fast as possible.

–Mobbing Decompiler: any, whatever is your favorite/ feels the best. (Element matching w/ sniper) Note mine is an SMG swap (photo).

–Grenade: Ripper grenade. Will teleport to the enemy you hit with your Plague Star, and instantly proc the skill E2 Pulse via Unsupported Peripheral. Thus instant +40% status effect damage, overshield, etc. Min/maxing grenade & action skill play is to shoot a grenade first, activate action skill at an enemy, then fire guns. (Yes, the Alignment grenade is excellent, but does not instantly proc. By all means, use for fun.)

–Plague Engineer class mod: all rollable skills are valuable. Yes, Cat 5 is excellent, but in all my exhaustive testing, when you’re firing on all cylinders, we’re only talking about shaving seconds off of the Takedown. Same goes for your secondary modifier: I find each of Elemenental Damage, Gun Damage, and Skill Damage to all essentially wash. Personal preference between those 3, your favorite, or tolerance for farming Subjugator and Thol to find what you believe to be min/maxed best in slot.

–Skill Tree: Red points=Corrupted Path, Blue=Disdain. I do not have video capture/a You Tube channel/Twitch to have a much easier venue to show and “teach” the tree & build. But reading skills as you enter points, and play experience will of course be the best teacher. Know that I exhaustively tested and respecced to arrive at the build you see. One note: the upper left skill Nootropic Energy Drink is also excellent if you want/don’t mind keeping up Triple Bypass spam. I did not spec that here because I wanted a slightly more “neutral, passive” showcase. Note 2: bottom center point distribution leans to survivability. You could (I may) easily lower overshield spec and lean into damage elsewhere. Highly recommend leaving at least one point.

–Skill Tree Auments: I like d://file (and radiation) for mobbing, Lag Switch (and corrosive) for bossing, though that’s really “win more” and kind of unnecessary.

Yes, Decompiler/Devourer, etc., are primary, but of course don’t let that stop you from testing and having fun with all the different toys you like. I certainly have.

Also, I’m just happy to be nerdy and share. Surely this could be pushed even further (especially mobbing capability, Takedown platinum seems to fall off around Mayhem 8/9+).

Have fun if you try this out! This is a lot, and I could’ve written plenty more. Very happy to answer questions, receive input, etc. There’s certainly plenty I don’t know as an average player! Cheers.

Edit: I mistakenly neglected to add a Specializations photo. Added in the comments.

Edit 2: I’ll add some random information here. The status DPS of an elemental Draupner is massive. Not best in slot, as Ripper grenade proccing many synergies are lost, but also fun to blow up with Devourer snipers. (The swap & fire has to be as fast as you can make it, and will still be far outclassed by the sticky Decompiler combo).

Critical Decay pistol damage is mid, but a Jakobs roll has become my Crystal breaker. (Everywhere but Bloomreaper phase 1. That sucks no matter what). Interestingly you never need to fire it for it to attach stickies everywhere. Simply have it in hand. The enemy just needs to have some Radiation status ticks. Doesn’t matter how they got them. Opens interesting gameplay (infinite looping, permanent overshield…)

Edit 3: (No need to read. Surface-level explanation of how this bossing damage is working) The stickies work best here on Loveless because of the Plague Engineer class mod. A sticky magazine delays & funnels damage to all occur “at the same time” as you’re charging and firing a devourer sniper bullet. The mod text “If there is no enemy to spread to, deal 50% of the status effect’s damage immediately” begins to cascade on all of the stickies all at the same time, and then the Devourer comes in and explodes all of that cascading damage. Without the stickies to delay and compile all of the damage “on top of each other,” the large status damage spikes dissipate very quickly. A normal mag is already done spiking most of the extra damage by the time you get through to the end of the mag. Certainly I am no mathematician, and there is a lot more going on under the hood, but that is the basics of why this is working in this build case (as best I can understand/communicate without conversing). Note that with this logic, without the Plague Engineer & Loveless skill tree boosting, the Decompiler sticky/matched Devourer shot combo would still be quite powerful on all characters.

I assume this is a bug because neither Krieg nor Moze struggled with revives when it came to using their action skills, and I struggle to make an excuse as to why it's not possible with these two too. Personally, I'm enjoying Rafa's melee thus far but I may have to entirely forgo it simply because I often run into a downed ally during the duration, and it's jarring to waste time turning off the skill just to get my friend back into the action!
