    As an honorable mention, I might put the slayer of terramorphous class mod. It's the only class mod that boosts preshrunk cyberpunk, which increases the amount of anarchy stacks you can have. Potentially with this class mod you can get up to 650 stacks of anarchy.

  • @guilhermelopes986
    @guilhermelopes986 Před 7 lety +310

    The thing about Gaige is that she works best in solo play.
    because:
    1- other people can steal kills from you, severely halting your anarchy stack gain.
    2- once you get enough anarchy stacks there wont be shit left for the other players kill.
    3- if you are not the host suffering a disconnect and losing all stacks can be heartbreaking.

    Personally, I like using Gaige's Slayer of Terramorphous class mod, if only for the boost to Preshrunk Cyberpunk so I can have a maximum of 600 Anarchy.
    Word of warning, though - playing with that much Anarchy kinda makes bullets behave... weirdly. ESPECIALLY if the gun has low accuracy to begin with. I'm talking bullets going sideways, zig-zagging, missing at point blank, and (if you have Close Enough), missing the guy two feet in front of you only to rebound and hit some jackoff trying to snipe you from behind.

    Gaige at 600 anarchy with the twister is like the most hilarious spectacle to ever lay your eyes upon. The twister is about half the height of Gaige and as wide as two Ellies, and as they travel they begin to spread out making this wall of shock orbs. Sure shotguns with the bee are not great, but at the same time, pairing it with the bee, some decent cover, and Deathtrap to distract enemies, you'll be like "Ye Gods, what accuracy?"

      The Sandhawk and the quasar are good weapons but not as good with Gaige.. Tattler and Florentine are better smgs for her (Gaige is not a great smg user tought), and for the grenade I prefer Stormfront, Crossfire (slag version) or Chain Lightning, Get a Fibber barrel 3 and a Conference call (Or Butcher maybe) too, they work fuckin great with Gaige, and the Sham is good with rockets launchers but it's also good to have a nova shield with her, like hide of terramorphous (sorry for my english)

    • @LokiLiesGod
      @LokiLiesGod Před 6 lety +3

      For Gaige, all you need is a Bee Shield, Storm Front, Grog for Healing and a few variations of the Fibber. You will just face roll anything.
      Buck Up and Blood Soaked Shields means you will have almost 100% uptime on the Bee unless you mess up.
      The Fibber is ridiculous on Gaige.
      Maybe a Norfleet for second winds, but not even that is necessary.

    • @Caramelhypnose
      @Caramelhypnose Před 6 lety

      shamfleet (with a shock norfleet) with gaige is just insane when you use legendary catalyst, or even with slayer of terramorphous and have 600 anarchy stacks.
      Just switch for the bee + fibber when you have to kill a raid boss

    • @LokiLiesGod
      @LokiLiesGod Před 6 lety

      Shamfleeting is ridiculous with all characters and especially Gaige, period.
      The Catalyst is not even close to necessary for it to be ridiculous on her. In fact, a Necromancer class mod with +6 on WDT is better for Shamfleeting than The Catalyst could ever be. Either because of the bonus to Mag Size from the True Netrual, the Fire Rate from Chaotic Good or the Reload Speed from the Good version.

    • @Caramelhypnose
      @Caramelhypnose Před 6 lety

    Interspersed outburst is awesome, not only does it slag it also increases damage. At 10/5 it will take 1/2 of an ultimate baddy's health.
    Also, I think the Bee synchs great with Blood Soaked Shields. Kill an enemy and hello amp damage.
    Finally, a great item for Gaige is the class mod that increases magazine size. Why? Hello infinity + anarchy.

    • @minhducnguyen9276
      @minhducnguyen9276 Před 9 měsíci

      Interspersed outburst is great as a skill to dump stats on when you already spec into the more important skills. Having a chance to slag on every weapon I'm holding means I don't have to swap weapons or throw a slagging grenade. At higher levels whether either you are oneshotting or getting oneshotted, a second to throw a grenade or swap to a slagging gun can be very costly.

    A note about Interspersed Outburst: the damage doesn't scale with rank, only the slag chance. The slag chance is Rank×Stack Count×2%, and can be boosted by More Pep and BAR.
    If you just want the extra damage (slight though it may be), you don't need more than one point in IO.

  • @petethenotreet3311
    @petethenotreet3311 Před 7 lety +3

    The flakker should have got a mention as it has a fixed shooting pattern so the accuracy drop isn't a problem on gaige plus you don't need to rely on the ahab glitch to get consistent damage allowing the player to use more weapons (works best with legendary anarchist)

    • @minhducnguyen9276
      @minhducnguyen9276 Před 9 měsíci

      Also good against air targets that dive. Since it has a fixed firing pattern and fixed detonating distance I can easily shoot down flying targets if they get close. Higher anarchy even makes it better because not only does the flak cloud now cover a larger area each pellet also deals more damage to the point one pellet explodes near a target is enough to kill.

  • @TheDoctorOfThrills
    @TheDoctorOfThrills Před 7 lety +37

    Pardon? The Fibber takes skill to use? Speaking as a Gaige main, there in no skill involved with the ricochet Fibber, all you have to do is pour 5 points into Close Enough, and the auto target takes over. The damage penalty is negated because, like all ricochet weapons, the algorithm is bugged to not reduce the damage and instead auto-pilot the ricochet. Coupled with the Fibber and the Buck-Up bug, Gaige is one of the easiest Vault Hunters in the game, but also reliant on a buggy, pistol build.

    • @TheDoctorOfThrills
      @TheDoctorOfThrills Před 7 lety +4

      That is, if Close Enough procs at the same time of a ricochet, but a 50% chance means that's negligible. It's also the same reason a Pearlescent Stalker is a great choice on Gaige. I agree with the placement of the Fibber on this list, but I don't think you quite understood why.

    • @TrapWHre
      @TrapWHre Před 7 lety +2

      TheDoctorOfThrills while i do agrer with you, that the fibber doesnt really need a lot of thinking of the player, especially with the buckle up glitch and a bee shield, which pretty much guarantees you full amp damage with ecery shot while being in the middle of the mayhem thats going on around you, i do not understand why you keep resetting uvhm for more fibbers? if youre on console, ask a friend to pick up your fibber and turn off the console, let him give it back to you and get 1 more. on pc you can do it without the help of anyone, finish a quest to the point where you can turn it in. quit the game and make your save file read only. get back in and get your gun. then stash it into claptraps stash, its content is stored next to your save file called profile.bin. you can get as many fibbers as you want. everytime you start the game, no matter if u took the quest reward or not, you start with the quest being ready to be turned in again. however you dont lose them once u put them in the stash because its content is stored in the file that was untouched. if youre done, remove the read only and off u go

    There is a synergy that you didn't talk about in your video. The Fibber that you say is the best for Gaige has a weird synergy with her "Close Enough" skill: the ricochets have up to a 50% chance of homing in on enemies AND does not suffer from the damage penalty from "Close Enough".

    Im sure I'm not the only one who pointed this out, but if you have close enough with the fibber it becomes easier to use. Not to mention the projectiles that ricochet are unlisted so it gets full amp damage from bee shields and the damage reduction from close enough becomes void. If you shoot literally any surface everything dies, it's really powerful and more practical than shamfleeting. Try it, it's cheesy.

  • @Malacite
    @Malacite Před 6 lety +6

    Just wanted to add 2 things you left out that are actually pretty nuts on Gaige.
    1) With the right Necromancer Mod (80%+ magazine size) you can negate the penalty from her other tier 1 skill and actually make use of the infinity, which if you also have cooking up trouble, means you are always regenerating health and never running out of ammo - pretty sweet once you have a high anarchy stack
    2) The Deliverance is absolutely batshit insane on her. Normally Tediore weapons aren't viable, but this one is fine because you don't care about the reload damage - what you care about is the fact that the damn thing will home in on a target and then proceed to do obscene amounts of damage from the special effect. Oh, and The Bee also works on said effect making it even more ridiculous.
    3) The Nukem, while not as powerful as the Norfleet, is a lot easier to obtain and pretty damned satisfying. Just be really, REALLY careful you don't frag yourself lol. With high stacks it basically wipes the screen, at least on lower difficulties I've not had a chance to try it UVHM.

Not to mention the right gear that will boost the chances of both of you to win almost every encounter.

    Very late to the party and just started to play as Gaige, but has anyone else noticed you can get anarchy stacks for shooting the ice piles near the bullymong nests at three horns divide? I was using a 3 magazine shotgun that fired 2 ammo a shot and every reload after shooting one I'd get an extra anarchy stack. Same for skag piles too. If you have a gun that has essentially two shots, you shoot a pile with the first then just fire the next into the air and you'll get an extra anarchy. I spent a while driving round three horns divide killing enemies and shooting the piles too. Those accidental reloads are killing me. I'm not used to playing gaige I unconsciously reload sometimes and I'm devastated

    I just finished my first playthrough of Borderlands 2, first time playing any Borderlands game in fact. I played Gaige, in a coop campaign, and I had a lot of fun, but I'm not sure I played her... what you'd call 'properly'. I put most of my skill points into anything but the tree with Anarchy, because I also focused on using sniper rifles, revolvers, and stuff with high accuracy and damage, instead of instead of low accuracy and super-high damage.
    Gaige was still a lot of fun to play, even though I'd always forget to use Deathtrap. It makes me sad that she's not in the other games.

Since we are using a sniper rifle, might as well put the morningstar in another slot and use the morningstar glitch for even more insane damage.

    "The Conference Call".
    I've spent most of my time in this game farming for this gun. First against the Warrior way back when, on my Ps3, then the Handsome Sorcerer when I got the Switch version a few weeks ago. In all this time, I've never seen the Conference Call drop. Hell, if I hadn't seen the gun in use online, I'd have been convinced the gun was literally a myth. In all that time, I've gotten over 18 Flakkers, 13 Impalers, 29 Volcanos, 12 Handsome Jack head skins, and 3 Legendary Class Mods, but no Conference Calls.
    I don't understand how so many people can get so many of these things in an hour when I can't get one in 7 years.

  • @m3chaw0lf
    @m3chaw0lf Před 3 lety +2

    I know this is an old video, but since I am still playing borderlands 2, I feel there are many honorable mentions for gaige in terms of weapons:
    Florentine:. This is pretty much the chulainn without the self slag. While it is decent with anyone, when combined with little big trouble skill tree, this weapons becomes a monster. With electrical burn, more pep, evil enchantress, and wires don't talk, you now have a weapon that deals electrical, slag and fire elemental effects and damage at a fairly high frequency with very good damage. The chulainn can work the same, but any difficulty higher than normal makes the cost of self slag not really worth it as you're only making yourself easier to kill.
    Any weapon with a fixed or homing projectile patern will always work with gauge's anarchy. Homing weapons sacrifice the ability to crit, but with anarchy, you aren't really going for crits as much as you might think. The point is that a fixed or homing projectile pattern is always good for gauge's anarchy build. Richocet weapons can also work, but homing and fixed patterns will be far more reliable
    Any decent elemental weapons will always work, but with gaige, shock elementals will give you the most bang using little big trouble skills. I personally found a blue rarity bandit fire zooka, which is a very good substitute for the norfleet for now. I also have a slag maliwan sniper with a vladorf barrel for a fast rate of fire with a high slag chance, very useful in co op play as I can focus on slagging everyone while my teammate follows through with damage.
    Elemental resistance shields can be useful for those new to gaige. Many elementals can run the risk of being danger close and causing player damage, so if you are resistant to said element, you won't take as much damage. In terms of legendaries, the neogenator is best for that, as it also has health regen and increases max health. If you're not worried about that, elemental spike or nova would work. It doesn't have to be that high since gaige has several skills that boost shields and you will want to take advantage of elemental attacks. ideal legendaries include flame of the Firehawk, black hole if you can handle the singularity effect, and maybe the impaler. For anarchy builds, probably go with an absorption shield to keep your ammo stocked. The 1340, the transformer and the sham are good suggestions for that.
    Elemental grenades, just like the weapons, are always useful. For uniques or legendaries, the quasar, storm front, lightning bolt, chain lighting or magic missile are the best. Again, gaige gets more use out of shock elemental weapons.
    Relics really depend on play style. For anarchy builds, pick your primary weapons and get an artifact based on that, either an aggression relic or a stockpile relic. Probably stockpile since you're already going to be doing a lot of damage with anarchy. For little big trouble, find either a shock elemental relic or a maliwan allegiance relic, since shock elemental weapons will be your focus. If you wanna focus on deathtrap, get a proficiency relic so you can summon him more.

    @DarkPegasus87 Před 7 lety

    While it is true that the Norfleet is a groan response for this list, it is best suited on Gaige and not for the Anarchy point. It is the ultimate "no accuracy required" weapon. I have never tested this precisely but you can very likely kill any enemy at maximum Anarchy (600 stacks) just by being in the same area and firing that sucker off. You don't even have to be facing them because a Norfleet has such a wide area of effect. You don't need to aim. You don't need to face the target. You JUST need to be standing close enough to them. AND. THEY. WILL. DIE!!! It is perfect for getting Second Winds because of this. You only need an enemy close enough to you when you go down. This is great because, honestly, Gaige is a little fragile in that regard. She's powerful like getting hit with a meteor head-on but sometimes it seems like she takes the least amount of damage to down. For that reason alone, a Norfleet is best suited for her.
    I can't invest too heavily into the damage over time skills at my current level given my preferred style but I think I'll get around to them at some point. I prefer a Trickster style to my gameplay as Gaige which means Close Enough, Cooking up Trouble, Cooldown skills and Anarchy.
