Borderlands 2: What is the Best Sniper Rifle in the game for Zer0 the Assassin? (Zero)

[@jeff4195]

I still can’t believe that the borderlands 2 community is still doing amazing and I hope it stays alive.

[@keynanmartinez]

Until Borderlands 3 but yes it has aged extremely well.

[@XAlted1]

All the years I've been playing, the borderlands community is nice and more outgoing than any other community from then and current. They've helped me with raids, op levels and setting up characters with their classes and what not. Other communities are toxic and just talk crap a lot if you can't do something

[@Bram25]

It's a win-win for Gearbox/2K. I mean: You could work with polls and "what do you want in the game?" but it is smarter to let the community patch the flaws so you can learn from it as a developer. :) Increase drop rates or let bosses drop certain items more often, balance weapons, etc etc etc.

[@Bram25]

@Grym Like many E-tech snipers. And yes: I can imagine it's a big source of information of what players want besides using polls.

[@Bram25]

@Grym Don't act so defensive dude. Really. You behave like someone who got a broom stick up his ass. Sideways. A good source of information on things that could be adjusted. You know, before you release a product and don't come up with something nobody likes, people complain (with Pre Sequel that was legit, because respawnable (mini) bosses came there in a patch about 4 months too late.) about your game and the community dies within less than 3 months, which is the case for most multiplayer games not being Call of Duty or Battlefield. And yes. Again. You could do things like polls, and surveys, and hire people to look into what some people want in their weapons. And yes. Bandit/Scav IS the worst manufacturer. Literally: It's bang for the buck with shitty weapons and the most ammo possible..

[@peterxiong5118]

just start playing this game last month. i know im kinda late but damn. this game is awesome.

[@mitchellh5869]

Actually as a 800 hour Zero main I sort of disagree. If you are Crit Ascent build, just use Lyuda all the time. Using a low level sniper to build stacks makes no sense. Those are essentially bullets wasted, because you won't be actually damaging the enemy. Sure you'd be building your stacks higher so you can one shot the enemy later, but why waste 30 bullets doing that when you could shoot 7-8 with Lyuda and get the kill, plus stacks. Sure your stacks aren't higher, but you'll still be killing enemies and building stacks. At the same time though, you don't need as high of stacks because you are using a DPS sniper. Thats just me. I don't like the low level sniper because you blow your ammo to make a huge investment in stacks thats quite easy to lose.

[@autisticpete5978]

That's because Puma isn't actually good at the game and just repeats what other KZbinrs have said years ago. I've watched maybe 50 of his BL2 videos over the years and have yet to hear one original thought of his.

[@JustLikeYou.]

@@autisticpete5978 unfortunately yeah I think you're right, I like him but it doesn't seem like he is that good

[@Its0nlyDylan]

Yeah I agree I use 0 fuze slag transfusion for health and go ham with lyuda mainly if on high stacks I use pimp tho its fun

[@charlitopside2377]

Yep....You dont need stacks of c.a. with the right gear this tactic is pointless. But puma is glitching all of the Time, because he sucks at the Game. I really enjoy his videos....but he is a sucky player haha

[@The_best17]

If you have played zero for 800 hours what's the best sniper for zero. Because some say the lyuda and some say the pimpernail

[@joshlewis5065]

I feel like Borderlands is on the rise again. Not just because of the VR, but because it is such a playable game. The RNG combined with the different abilities make it playable for years and years. It is such a unique game in that aspect.

[@galant.nebula2477]

Keep the vids going borderlands 2 Will never die

[@snowstorm6757]

I hope

[@strangerofthe2067]

I'd really like to see a video in this similar style on gaige, like maybe an elemental gear guide, or one based on maximizing stack potential and gear to use. Everyone has done the 'best character builds' but I'd like to see potential for other builds too. I've been trying out different builds and putting points into stuff I wouldn't normally do just to experiment and is like to see someone else do something similar to that and maybe show off some builds and gear based on different character builds. Gaige would be cool. Thanks for the videos man!

[@philipschroeder5427]

As a side note: Editing C:\Users\MyName\Documents\"My Games"\"Borderlands 2"\WillowGame\Config\WillowEngine.ini (if it is read-only uncheck the read only flag), setting MaxParticleResize=16 made the Interspersed Outburst game freeze not appear anymore for me.

[@pedroc.machado6648]

Hi, use shotguns, like the striker, and use prefixes and parts for reload speed and less mag, so you can stack anarchy while not suffering that much from the accuracy loss

[@eselloverjones]

As a Main Sniper Zer0 I think that prestacking CA is a good idea when you try to take down bosses like say Vorac, but for general mobbing I'd say that you don't need to farm such a high stack count. If you're fast enough you will achieve it anyway. I agree with your final recommendation.

[@itsdripordrown7702]

Love that you make bordalans 2 vids again

[@24ds99]

On my first run, the hyperion guy from "The Good, the Bad, and the Mordecai" dropped an Orange rarity Lyuda (that I'm pretty sure had a bayonet). I had gotten to level 20 and I had a sniper that did a bit more damage... and get this, I didn't sell it... I threw it away!!! I admit that I feel really stupid about that!

The Lyudia, Pimpernel, and Skullmasher personally are Zeros best snipers to use.

[@jadedkratos5528]

Maliwan Rail Rifle, mightn't have the best DPS but the projectile is insanely fast and deadly accurate if aimed properly. Since the Maliwan Rail Rifle obviously is going to be an elemental having a Slagged or Shock variant would work best as its funny to watch them dance or look like they're about to vomit.

[@RedSetGoYT]

Pimpernel is the best thing ever to grace this game. No slag needed and it makes the game 10x more fun on higher difficulties

[@harvardstudent3389]

I like the long bow Don't judge me

longbow isn't a bad weapon though. it's pretty good if you can use it.

The ambience at Sanctuary, the background guitar riffs playing so angelically in the Torgue DLC. The massive and amazing visuals the locations have. Man. Brilliant game. For being PVE, it's the only game I have ever given a 10 to. It's sad how bad the Pre-Sequel was. I hope BL3 is just as good as BL2. We can only hope.

He was using a weak gun so he could get crit staks

[@carlosjf504]

For my sniper zero I use a fire lyuda and all pimpernells for the rest. I don't really care too much about CA stacking since I've never been able to solo a raid boss (except for gate crush gee and bore hyperious of course) plus the pimpernell is so fun and colorful. Pair that with the antagonist and a transfusion for slag and so I don't die and I'm good to go.

completely unrelated to the vid but does anyone know a good farming spot for the badass heads. I'm currently farming the 4 badasses at frostburn canyon but is there a better/faster method?

What is the most op weapons and gear for zero and what is the most op build for zero and what build

[@filthycasul1804]

this might not be the most overpowered build for zero, but if you invest into his "one shot one kill" perk and use the infinity, every shot counts as the first shot in the magazine, and thus gets the damage boost from the perk. that combined with the high fire rate = chaos lmao not to mention you can get an infinity pistol with corrosive, fire, and shock damage to adapt to literally anything thrown at you, and you'll never run out of ammo because... infinity :P

Definitely land in the lyuda camp. Not only can you farm it. Its waaay easier and more reliable in damage output

[@austen9556]

Why would you use a low lvl sniper when you could get the stack with a lyuda and switch to something with more damage unless the low lvl has faster fire rate or larger mag or both

[@dizzlethedevil6845]

Plus, the legendary sniper class mod takes too much off your shields. It's almost not worth it.

[@filthycasul1804]

1. you can edit your own comments 2. the sniper class mod doesn't take too much off your shields. a sniper is supposed to sit back outside of the effective range of the enemy, and pick them off from afar. because you'll rarely be getting hit if you're doing it right, you probably won't really need a shield that can take 100 hits in one go. the only real exception is in boss fights, or in arena style fights where you can't put distance between you and the enemy, in which case you SHOULD have another class mod as a backup that doesn't reduce your shield capacity so much. however, in general, a low shield capacity shouldn't be a problem if you're sniping right.

[@dizzlethedevil6845]

Sniper Zero is just broken. By the time you use a low lvl sniper to stack, any other character could already them killed. Also, let's be honest. Who can get a crit every 6 seconds so the stacks don't start to decay?

[@shaddow2022]

You're joking right? Pre-stacking CA isn't needed when mobbing. Only when you're facing raid bosses is pre-stacking CA helpful/necessary. Check out some of Man Of Low Moral Fiber's videos here on KZbin if you want to see how brokenly overpowered Sniper Zer0 can be.
