A bit of clarification on the Excalibastard's nova: when landing a melee on a frozen enemy with the Excalibastard, ir will create a cryo nova. Any crit with it will freeze the enemy as well, including melee crits
When I first got this game I didn't like any of the characters besides Nisha but now after seeing you play as Athena I'm having second guesses about her.
@@mariosmatzoros3553 Never played Aurelia, but it seems that to make her go OP you need to never miss a shot, obviously maybe I'm wrong since I never played her...
Is Athena really THIS broken? So health and shield regen plus constant blocking, able to auto revive teammates, tanking and dps alongside mass crowd control and practically infinite ammo and strong melee damage? Sounds like gunzerker + psycho krieg + Siren wrapped into one character.
Superheroes_Sodding_Handsome you can literally use anything on her as long as it has shock or fire. You mainly just want a storm front grenade of anything.
Yeah but not as good as Krieg or Salvador. You’re forgetting no gunzerk, money shot, overkill, bloodsplosion, bloodbath, and the melee build is nowhere near as strong.
Thing about Bloodrush: I'm unaware of the bug you mentioned, but, applying bleed to a target that isn't already bleeding allows you to immediately use the rush again.
Lasers always come elemental and a tediore splitter is like a shotgun, but each pellet does more damage. A normal splitter has a x3 projectiles but a tediore one has x6 per shot. Multiplied with their fire rate of 3.5 you can stack incredibly fast. You get ca. 11.t stacks per second, without DOTs. Each pellet has a chance of ca 6% to proc a DOT that x6 gives one of the highest chance to put an elemental DOT on your enemy. Letting you stack even more.
@@DHDragon Nah, that dude used to complain all the time about farming in his 0-OP10 playthrough. He'd have like 3, hour-long videos in a row trying to get Lyudas.
@@roebucksruin The Company Man, that he mentions as the literal first weapon and tells you to get one of each element with, is only available through a SHIFT code, once per character.
@@DHDragon Ah, good to know. I think we were miscommunicating. I didn't realize you were talking about Joltz using a save editor, while I was talking about grumpy ol' Man of Low Moral Fiber. Have a good one!
In my opinion the reflection of bullets is much weaker than the bullets they shoot you with so I would prefer prepare for glory. Once you come out of your skill who ever still standing is going to get hit with that huge damage increase along with omega senshu and smite along with Maelstrom and bleed just melts bosses and mobs a like. Especially if you throw a quasar just before it ends you'll have everyone grouped up for massive dps output.
I know this video is kinda old but does anyone know if this build still “works” it looks really good I shut don’t wanna grind the gear to find out something’s been nerfed into the ground
Cant believe you didnt include heartbreaker, i know it not suppose to be in the game but the community patch places it there and it stacks malestorm way faster than the company man on account of its higher pelt per shot and faster fire rate only down side is mag is pretty small compared to company man (13 and 19 with here storm weave skill) Edit: forgot to mention fire or shock badaboom would do more damage then explosive since she enhances fire and shock unless your going against machines or armor then just spam the shock one
Anonymous person Yeah, that’s my main problem with the game, too. The Community Patch revives a bit of replayability value, but for someone who plays on a console, it’s a hard game to come back to.
Try out Allegiance run with the next character Could be fun Something like Hyperion Aurelia, or Vladof Wilhelm or whatever I tried Vladof Gaige and it turned out to be helluva fun with the Patch
SolomonExe that’s a fun point, does Salvador’s dual wielding add more melee damage if he’s holding two melee weapons, or does it just stack once? Hell, I don’t even remember if he can melee while gunzerking
Actually, you can dual wield to rapiers and spec for fistful of hurt and all in the reflexes and be extremely OP. However I don't know if the rapiers curse stacks
I was kind of meh to using Athen because 2 of the best weapons are from the Tales From the Borderlands buy the season pass, but a the end you can use even a goddam Vladof Shock Purple Pistol and Still doing a Dmg and is kind of fun actually.
Sucks that one had to pre order or be online(shift) to get the fast talker and company man. Notice They are an integral part if most of he builds. Guess ya could just sub the company man for Hyperion shotguns and ol painful instead of fast talker but..........
I know this is a pretty old video and comment but on the community patch (pc only) and you get the company man for doing the mission "voice over" in jack's office.
Flash Freeze is more for bosses... or at least to do a hit kill on them because the bosses aren't that hard in this game... ~Sad you never ever tried to shot a lot of times in the ground with the moonscaper and blow everything up...
Hmm so some of the best weapons for this build are some you can't really easily get? I'm on PS4, so is the only way I can get these is if someone drops them for me? Like Fast Talker and Company Man.
Viral Marketer. Purple or glitched hyperion shotguns. Storm Fronts can typically stack you up fast to where you can use what you want. A Shreddifer, and The Machine also wreck as well.
For those who see this, I need to ask, how do you get a Storm Front? I’ve tried to grind 3 legendaries to get it, but moonstone grinding always leads to a purple grenade
@@BrimBlam hm, only way really is to keep scrapping legendary grenades, 2 legendaries and a purple i think gets legendary results with moonstone grinds
Been playing the beta. Unfortunately it's not a Fallout game. Bethesda really dropped the ball on that. However it's not a bad game. It's actually the perfect self-actualized social MMO survival experience. It's just... Not made for Fallout fans. It'd be much better if it were stripped of the Fallout branding. It's like Rust but good.
A bit of clarification on the Excalibastard's nova: when landing a melee on a frozen enemy with the Excalibastard, ir will create a cryo nova. Any crit with it will freeze the enemy as well, including melee crits
Actually amazing build, thanks for the experience joltz, it was really fun to watch it all!
Thats why you should never mix bloodlust with anarchy on a gunzerker
But he doesn’t even use bloodlust
stacking-based characters are always so fun
When I first got this game I didn't like any of the characters besides Nisha but now after seeing you play as Athena I'm having second guesses about her.
Yeah Athena was the only character I truly finished TPS with.
Nisha is the most broken one... the second is debatable if it's jack or she...
@@Cuestrupaster Jack and Aurelia are the second most op characters.
@@mariosmatzoros3553 Never played Aurelia, but it seems that to make her go OP you need to never miss a shot, obviously maybe I'm wrong since I never played her...
Thank you joltz, very cool! :)
Is Athena really THIS broken? So health and shield regen plus constant blocking, able to auto revive teammates, tanking and dps alongside mass crowd control and practically infinite ammo and strong melee damage? Sounds like gunzerker + psycho krieg + Siren wrapped into one character.
Blank Name Yeah the shield just on its own is OP as fuck anyway, but combined with her skills she’s just a joke
So, what’s the best guns for her?
Superheroes_Sodding_Handsome you can literally use anything on her as long as it has shock or fire. You mainly just want a storm front grenade of anything.
Yeaaah and she enjoys killing. Gotta love her laugh upon killing bandits
Yeah but not as good as Krieg or Salvador. You’re forgetting no gunzerk, money shot, overkill, bloodsplosion, bloodbath, and the melee build is nowhere near as strong.
Thing about Bloodrush: I'm unaware of the bug you mentioned, but, applying bleed to a target that isn't already bleeding allows you to immediately use the rush again.
You do the best builds, Joltz!!
No tediore splitter?
They are considered to be some of the best weapons for Athena.
My recommendation is one in all the elements
Lasers always come elemental and a tediore splitter is like a shotgun, but each pellet does more damage.
A normal splitter has a x3 projectiles but a tediore one has x6 per shot.
Multiplied with their fire rate of 3.5 you can stack incredibly fast.
You get ca. 11.t stacks per second, without DOTs. Each pellet has a chance of ca 6% to proc a DOT that x6 gives one of the highest chance to put an elemental DOT on your enemy. Letting you stack even more.
Maybe joltz prefer accuracy?
I’ve watched this video like a thousand times because of the awesome music at the end
Already almost 200k. Good work joltz.
I love all of your videos. You seem like a genuinely nice guy! They always make me want to go and play borderlands again.
This is so cool. I'd love to see a lvl 1-70 playthrough for this build like Man of Low Moral Fiber used to do.
Level 1: create the character, open a save editor, hack in the weapons.
@@DHDragon Nah, that dude used to complain all the time about farming in his 0-OP10 playthrough. He'd have like 3, hour-long videos in a row trying to get Lyudas.

@@DHDragon fuck farming developments and deliveries lol. Literally worse than legendary farming
Lmao this build is ridiculous. each character of yours i see changes my opinion on the most op character ever :D
Maybee next playthround Axton only grenade(and tedior weapon)
Вова Замятин he’s doing brick
Grenade only Axton would be sick. would you allow the turrets?
Вова Замятин I think that tedious weapons would make it too easy I would think no gun Axton so like only sentry and grenades
Even better, Joltz did gunless Axton
Thanks joltz! one of my favorite series yet.
I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
What can I use instead of company
Man? I play on console so I can't use patches
In my opinion the reflection of bullets is much weaker than the bullets they shoot you with so I would prefer prepare for glory.

Love the music! Never knew Athena's so OP :O That moment when you shot 50 rockets at once
I just realized the you got red on you is a shaun of the dead reference lol
Imagine 999 malestorm with a perfect ogre
Maybe a mod existe for this i don't know?
Ogre? Please... I want to see this with norfleet...
@Grym Ok, so then maybe with a Mongol? RIP frames!
@@Cuestrupaster 15:10 he does it with a mongol :P.......nuts.
@@Mustang1984 Yeah saw it later...
Thanks for this video joltz, you are the best
Love the vid I'm usual to seeing your vids at 4:30 in the afternoon lol any ways loved the vid
Thank you for the game save my dude :D
Ryan Davis can you get it on PS4
I know this video is kinda old but does anyone know if this build still “works” it looks really good I shut don’t wanna grind the gear to find out something’s been nerfed into the ground
Still good
Another good upload joltz
Thanks for the save, Joltz. Actually I just want that lvl 10 Storm Front because my both Athena didn't get it
Holy hell! And I thought Jack was OP!
I really like the game play music too. Joltzdude original?
Yup, Joltz wrote his own music
That Mongrol is ridiculous! :o

Joltz, the save you're showing with gear, is that the farmed gear save, or perfect gear save?
Loved this playthrough
Dope dude now im playing bls again
I want to do an athena playthrough but i cant be bothered to because of the pre sequels lack of content
Anonymous person Yeah, that’s my main problem with the game, too. The Community Patch revives a bit of replayability value, but for someone who plays on a console, it’s a hard game to come back to.
Try out Allegiance run with the next character
Could be fun
Something like Hyperion Aurelia, or Vladof Wilhelm or whatever
I tried Vladof Gaige and it turned out to be helluva fun with the Patch
Ooh, you’re getting low on characters, pretty soon we will start seeing things like “sniper Krieg day 1”
And it will be glorious!
"Melee Salvador Day 1"
SolomonExe that’s a fun point, does Salvador’s dual wielding add more melee damage if he’s holding two melee weapons, or does it just stack once? Hell, I don’t even remember if he can melee while gunzerking
@@JurrassicGamer I believe you can stack abilities (such as healing) not damage
Actually, you can dual wield to rapiers and spec for fistful of hurt and all in the reflexes and be extremely OP. However I don't know if the rapiers curse stacks
@@celerysarcade "extremely op"
you´re still weaker than melee Zer0, melee Krieg or even melee Gaige.
Thank u joltz for this bulid i need it
She makes the mongol look like an OP modded weapon

@@aamir6892 Im not on PC😕😢
Joltz makes a series Coop killersix in pre sequel
what can I use instead of the unobtainable company man(men)? They seem to be core of your maelstrom build :(
Non-unique Hyperion shotguns work well also
On sale for STEAM, 11 or 12 dollars (US)
Music was a little loud in this video
Better than hear the loud sound on the guns...
So turn your volume down
@@pillowtato9013 The issue is that it's hard to hear what he's saying
@@SkaterBlades Noted
@@SkaterBlades But you could always turn on your captions
You should do a terdoire grenade build only using the thrown guns
Never clicked off a K6 stream faster.
Loved it and the build
Can somebody give me a link of this converted to ps3(Reigion code:BLES02058) please? I am having issues with converting the save.
Best vault hunters imo too bad she was stuck on pre sequel
Is first ep of Brick going to be up today Joltz? :D
I can't find the save file folder on my lap top... I can't figure out where to add this file.
This is a maelstrom and shield build not a sword build with maelstrom. I mean your weapons help but the skill tree isn't all out melee
What is the best op8 gaige build for 4 player coop
haha the fast talker just shreds normal enemies in like 0.2 seconds
Wow! I have never seen EOS killed that fast. I have never even been able to kill him
Just like Nisha, you have to kill it fast before it kills you, an elemental hyperion thinking is awesome for building stacks
Can't get the company man shotgun on switch, any ideas for its replacement?
I thought blood rush was more like many must fall from BL2?
Hey all i search boost lvl up for my athena of pre sequel on ps4 (sorry for my english im french)
You put Metanoia for the gameplay :o
who's next ???
so many many many missles soo good.
Any replacements for the company man?, I'm on console and the new tales pass doesn't give the gun
Why do you have endless ammo?
Pro tip don't stare directly into a 999 stacks of maelstrom Mongol storm it likes to break games :P
Make a chalenge "just one mark" like a only torge or hyperion
Flash Freeze is more for bosses... or at least to do a hit kill on them because the bosses aren't that hard in this game...
~Sad you never ever tried to shot a lot of times in the ground with the moonscaper and blow everything up...
Next playthough should be the Ice Queen!!!!!
10 views, 54 comments..... ohohohohoho NICE!
35 and joltz who is next?
Okay, this is epic
Who is the next character ?
…75% speed makes it listenable
Just got a hide on my first Terra kill with Zer0
Who's next??
Brick
How can i get a practicable devopment?
Did you consider doing an aurelia run?
Is there a single god damn build where i dont have to use maelstrom
no. too good and her core
Why no celestial gladiator class mod?
Hmm so some of the best weapons for this build are some you can't really easily get? I'm on PS4, so is the only way I can get these is if someone drops them for me? Like Fast Talker and Company Man.
Whoever thought of shift code only weapons should be fired
Any regular purple element Hyperion shotgun works and also using tediore splitters
Whats next?
So.. Sniper Wilhelm?
Great video
I dont have a PC :(
They work for mac as well if you have one
Hey joltz, are we going to get a melee zero build download?
What could make for a decent alternative for the Company Man?
Viral Marketer. Purple or glitched hyperion shotguns. Storm Fronts can typically stack you up fast to where you can use what you want. A Shreddifer, and The Machine also wreck as well.
How come no melee zero save?
I’ve never hit 70 in this game. Should I do the community patch or no?
You should at least get some characters to 70 legit to experience the fun of farming and hardwork
Imagine Salvador with that fire rate haha
How do you replace the company man ?
try multy glithced maliwan splitter. it just melting all bosses))
Any replacements for fast talker/ company man?
How do I download on xbox with out pc
Can anyone let me know any easy bosses to farm for a lvl 23 Athena?
Can someone help me convert this to ps3? I don't have a pc.
Why do people want game saves though? I never got that. Like I'd rather make the build myself
MrSteeleFtw maybe to try it out and see if they like it
For those who see this, I need to ask, how do you get a Storm Front? I’ve tried to grind 3 legendaries to get it, but moonstone grinding always leads to a purple grenade
