The Fibber can be a pretty good gun if you're lucky and get one of the variants that's not too hard to aim and also gives an insane bonus to crits.

And the 873 gun is funny for 30 seconds and then kind of annoying to use. The reward from Demon Hunter is the best sniper rifle in the base game but it tends to spawn with only iron sights.

The Buffalo can only spawn with iron sights, and the whole best sniper in the base game turned out to be not true. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LjTTclp2E4

I've done all of these already. I did them the moment they popped up because I thought that was what I was supposed to do. I can't re-do them for level appropriate stuff, can I?

Can I go back though and kill the assassins again? Will they drop level 30-ish gear?

And the Bandit Slaughter Dome assault rifle is impossible to use unless I'm shooting a giant thrasher or a constructor or something.


Sucks about the missions, the assassins I believe scale up to 26 in NVHM. You can grind them as many times as you want, you just have to save and quit and restart the server after killing them to reset them.

I've been playing Krieg and having fun trying out the trees, but I was wondering if he'll (re)ignite himself for the hellborn tree every time he renews a dot, or if it's only on starting a new dot.

There's always the patented "hide behind the wall and snipe the constructor in the eye with a corrosive sniper rifle" tactic. It gets me through that Super Badass Constructor... because gently caress Super Badass Constructors.

Speaking of Constructors, was just about to give up on my Anarchy-speced Mechromancer in a return to my more team-friendly BFF speced one when I came across that Badass Constructor just ahead of Bunker on TVHM. One clip of 302k corrosive rocket launcher hits later :stare:

I think I'll keep her specced that way. Even though I've never gone over a 50 stack.

Once you get to hero's pass, quit and drop back to normal. Then run through to the warrior, quit out and go back to UVHM. You have now skipped one of the most annoying places in UVHM! :D

I tried the hellborn tree now that I'm 61 and it's insane with a firehawk shield and incendiary butcher. Krieg starts off pretty meh but once he gets enough levels he's a monster.

Something I dislike a lot about UVHM is how easy it is for a single shot to blow all my shields and most of my health away, the Pirates in Scarlet's DLC are the worst about this, I have no issues killing them as a Lv 60 Siren since everything in range gets auto-slagged when I Phaselock something, its just annoying being one shotted on a frequent basis.

On the other hand, I love how a lot of fights become literal fights to the death now, Sawtooth Cauldron was the best for me, having whole groups of bandits yanked into the same spot thanks to my Phaselock pulling them all over was awesome.

I was with Marogareh during the voice change section and his Krieg went from roaring like a maniac to dead silent until after we beat Bunker.

Do you mean his 'inner voice?' The one who tells him to use restraint, threatens him with suicide if he kills an innocent, tells him to say 'Thank you' when getting a revive?

There's a good idle conversation between his inner voice and regular voice about only killing the deserving. Krieg owns. I wish they'd add backstory to him and Gaige into the DLCs, even if it's just another echo challenge.

Nah he handed her and her family in to Hyperion, you hear them being experimented on in Echo recorders in one of the Wildlife Preserve sidequests and the scientist doing the experiment mentions that they got the specimens from Fleshstick.

I thought Fleshstick sold Tina's parents to Hyperion and they died in slag experiments. That's what it sounded like to me from the logs you pick up in the exploitation preserve, anyway.

Technically Hyperion were the ones who killed her parents. Fleshstick captured them along with Tina and handed them over to Hyperion.

I've never gotten so many E Tech guns before I had UVHM, now I'm drowning in them, I found 3 in the Leviathan treasure room and another, a Shock SMG one in a random chest in Wurmwater, and all of them are awesome.

Unfortunately I received a Corrosive Pimpernel as a quest reward, so while I can vaporize robots in seconds, everything else, not so much, on the other hand, I got a Shock Lil Evie and a Fire Rubi, which are now my main guns.

Oh yeah that reminds me. I killed a LWT Loader the other day and got 2 blues and an E-Tech blaster. I've never seen anything higher than greens in them before. Can't wait to get Krieg to 61, gonna have some fun messing with his skill trees I think.

Made it to 33 with my Kreig after my friend started a new Mechromancer while I was at level 32, and he went from 1 - 21 in about two hours. I was waltzing through every last enemy and, while I was only getting 1xp, I think this was the way to play Krieg. I unequipped all weapons, so I could only use melee. I had the middle tree completed, so I never used the buzz-axe rampage unless I was knocked below 33% health - which was very rarely.
Highlights include:
* I wiped out Flynt from his tower
* I took out Bloodwing in three axe tosses, each one changing his form [the skill ran out at the last form so I cheated and used a rocket]
* I killed a super badass psycho with a single stick of dynamite
* I ran through the Roland rescue (which one?) and took out the constructor with two swings of the buzz axe. No rampage, just melee damage.

Find a pubbie game that's hilariously below your level, jump in and massacre everything for them. If you aren't 61 yet, this will be the most fun you can have with Krieg until then.


EDIT: Does anyone have a proven good shield for Krieg that is below level 50? I need something with stability to farm Torgue tokens this week.

My wife's going Hellborn and she's been having goddamn ridiculous luck. First she finds a Maliwan flame railgun in a random chest, then she gets Hellfire off of Scorch, then she finds an e-tech Bandit flame machine gun in another chest, then she gets a goddamn insane incendiary MIRV grenade mod. Between that, a really good flame shotgun from Moxxi after the safe quest, and the Firehawk shield, she's been absolutely annihilating everything by pointing in the general direction of the enemy and pushing the Make People Be On Fire button.

I'm only level 25 but I've found the Love Thumper to be the best shield ever. Since it deals explosive damage and you're in the middle tree so your damage is probably buffed a bit. I think it could wipe out the bar pretty quick. And your melee damage would be constantly buffed.

Although I'm currently using Law and Order but havn't fully tested it out yet. That could be another option.

Non-rare shields that seem to be good for a Mania Krieg are things like nova shields and spike shields--y'know, things that blow up once his shields are gone.
