User blog:OnceLurker/Gaige Build - Use glitches for max fun!

NOTE: Will Update after testing with mixing greed, dahlminator, and little evie

This is a build for Gaige (obviously) that uses glitches to run through the game for fun. This Requires DLC 1, and DLC 4 is great for the Grog Nozzle. I'm going to call this the

GOTY Build, for DLCs 1 and 4. Also, UVH Pack 1.

Glitches used: -1 shot and Buck Up

Explanation:

-1 shot: This requires a Vladof Launcher and another gun. Fire your launcher until you get your free shot. When you do, switch to another gun, then back to your launcher.

Swap once more, but while swapping, open your inventory and switch the two guns' slots.

This is the weapon fusing/merging glitch. The game thinks you are holding the launcher, which is  registered with -1 shot.

Buck Up: Gaige has a skill called Buck Up (BFFs: at least lv 11.) where DT reovers her shield by 100% (Normal mode) or 30%. (TVHM & UVHM)  Un-equip your shield and travel to another location.

When you get there, equip your shield and grenade yourself to see if it worked. If your recharge delay is 0 seconds, then it worked. That's right, 0 recharge delay.

This workes AMAZING with The Bee.

The build:

For Level 50. This is a build for GOTY, so you'll have Pack #1 already. In that case, put those points in the middle tree. Electrical burn is awesome.

28 into BFFs

5 Close enough

5 Cooking up trouble

1 Buck up

5 The better half

1 Upshot robot

5 Unstoppable force

5 20% cooler

1 Sharing is caring

17 into Ordered Chaos

4 Smaller, Lighter, Faster

1 Anarchy

5 Preshrunk Cyberpunk

5 Bloodsoaked shields

1 Discord

1 Rational Anarchist

Explanation:

BFFs:

Close enough: When you have 600 stacks of Anarchy, you want bullets to ricochet off of the walls to enemies.

Cooking up trouble: When you need to heal, just switch to another gun for that. 2% is okay.

Buck Up: The whole reason you live is because of this skill.

The Better half: For when you aren't using a Jakobs shotgun, FR+ is cool, because the ammo will stay at half, so FR+ ALL THE TIME!

Upshot robot: Anything that increases your BFF that takes alot of hits' duration is nice.

Unstoppable force: Yay more movement speed.

20% cooler: Decrease duration for best bud who'll tak lots of bullets for you.

Sharing is caring: Make DT more tanky.

Ordered Chaos:

Smaller, Lighter, Faster: Must have. Not saying it's essential, but you literally need it. More of aburden than a help.

Anarchy: No explanation needed.

Preshrunk Cyberpunk: Gimme MOAR anarchy! y(e)

Bloodsoaked Shields: Very nice, if you have DLC 1. Combined with the Relic and The Bee, she becomes OP as f*ck.

Discord: If you accidentally pre-reload, Discord lets you pre-reload again to stop your stacks from draining.

Rational Anarchist: To be honest, I die a lot because I'm an idiot, so starting with 25 instead of 1 is pretty useful.

Okay, that's done, so now onto the equipment.

Weapons:

FIBBER! USE THE FIBBER! It is THE BEST gun for this build. Have it with Barrel 2, so it has the ricotchet effect. It will hit the ground then split into multiple pellets, about 9.

Make sure though, that it is not the redundant fibber for this. Most people will say that redundant is the best, but in this case, not so much. Drain your clip to half, for 60-132% fire rate increase.

The fibber without redundant, barrel 2 will take two bullets, whereas barrel 2, not redundant will shoot only one, for -1 in the clip. 60-132% fire rate increase, 50% of shots will ricotchet towards enemies,

for full damage too. The close enough and the natural ricotchet will counteract and you will have bullets ricotchet towards enemies for full damage. Also not that the other pellets created from ricotchet

will be affected by the bee. The fibber is AMAZING with this build. With shock fibber, and pack #1, you can get electrical burn. After the points put in for lv 50, you can go put one point un electrical burn.

I highly suggest you get pack #2, for the extra points from 72.

tl;dr

100% damage close enough, with the better half, at least 60% fire rate increase, 9 pellets w/ bee amp. This thing is a beast. Also if you have shock, electrical burn works well with this.

Shield:

The Bee, or a Tediore purple.

The Bee is a wonderful thing. We all know that. Now, the problem is that The Bee's Capacity is not so good. Well, to compensate, we have the Buck Up glitch.

This glitch will constantly restore your shields, and that sort of counter-acts against its low capacity.

A Tediore purple works well too. They generally have a higher Recharge Rate than capacity, so combine that with 0 Recharge Rate, and your shield is nigh-invincible,

as long as you're not one-shotted.

Relic:

Captain Blade's Otto Idol:

Curse of the Sudden-er Death! Decrease FFYL time by 3 seconds. Ouch, but actually it can help a bit if you're playing Multiplayer. This actually decreases your time

needed for a revive, so there are various pros and cons to this item. Unlocked from mission Message in a Bottle(The Rustyards).

Restore Health after kill: Its base Health Recovery is 5.5 or so, and 5 Bloodsoaked shields makes you recover at least .5 of your health and full shields. REQUIRES DLC 1.

COM:

Slayer of Terramorphous:

Just for the extra 200 stacks of Anarchy. Can swap for anything else, really.

Punk Class mods:

Up to 25% more fire rate, and up to +6 The Better Half, so when using the fibber explained before, this make Gaige CRAZY!

Grenade Mod:

Anything Works, I use Magic Missile x4, because it's awesome. If not, Quasar or Storm Front works.

Summary for Build:

-Shield recharges all the time.

-Infinite Ammo for 1-shot guns

-After Killing an enemy, you regain full shields and some health.

-When using the right shields, you become OP

-Great damage overall.

Hope this build works out for you, it works out hilhariously well for me.
