Also, use the Legendary Anarchist to stack anarchy, not the Legendary Mech. I was a little rusty on Gaige and forgot. Make sure to read the description for the full overview. Thanks guys 🔥

[@darkohm1379]

Wow dude , never once did i think shock build gaige was doable in op10 , thanks for this! Also maybe drop save next time? Some people just want that.

[@metroschannel]

@@darkohm1379 a lot of builds are doable on OP10, you just have to know your character and what’s good with them. I will see about sharing the save file, however all my videos are done on my Xbox account besides the screenshots and area views that I record on my PC. I’ll have to see if I can figure out how to make the save on PC and then I’ll share it here. Thanks!

My favorite line from gaige is AHHHHHahhhAhh , oh and AHHHHH is good too, i love DoTs , music to my ears.

[@avaunat8146]

this is now my favorite way to play with gaige, i also found that switching between the Little Evie and Grog is pretty effective as well, by far one of my favorite builds in borderlands 2. tbh it’s kinda revived the game for me

[@metroschannel]

That’s great to hear!!

[@JukeHighwalker]

The first video of yours I ever watched. Fantastic editing and just all around BADASS! Keep 'em coming...

[@metroschannel]

Wow thanks so much! 🔥

[@eliaspatrikis1926]

Really good editing here, interesting and informative

[@ssick3402]

This was the best build video I’ve ever seen goes crazy

[@metroschannel]

Wow thanks! Made me smile. I’ll probably come out with builds for all characters every once in a while, all will be under 5 minute long videos.

[@zackjones3503]

I’m gonna try this out for sure. Looks fun!

[@Tensei07]

This build looks sick!

[@menacetosociety2997]

Gotta say you deserve way more subs than what you have, great quality content and great editing as well, and you get straight to the point when it comes to these videos new subscriber earned🥳 I'm looking forward to the future content🫡

[@metroschannel]

Wow this means a lot! Thanks! 🔥

[@kamlo815]

hello, please make more videos with builds to other classes like this, fantastic job

[@17eli187]

1:02 You can stack on every kind of this box as well as heal while holding Moxxi guns. There is also an equal type in the Hammerlock DLC. Your editing is very nice. I will definitely give it a shot!

[@OdenShilde]

Its because anarchy stacks from reloading and empty mag? So you can stack from literally anything and everything

[@17eli187]

@@OdenShilde no, you actually have to shoot an enemy/target ("be in combat") and somehow these boxes are coded something like that. If you're standing in Sanctuary for example and empty your mag to reload, you won't get a single stack.

[@thatfromageguyOG]

Cool Build! Love it! Small Issue though for anyone wanting to play this in Coop. The Talent "Interspersed Outburst" is possibly causing my friends to crash in multiplayer on PC (Steam). I ended up choosing 20% Cooler in the short term to try other talents. Just be careful in case others want to play this build!

[@metroschannel]

Interesting. I might exclude this in my next build video for gaige. I am actually planning on releasing this build again but update it and make the next video a lot better, since it’s a build I made and love 💙

[@QuakeAndGravy]

@@metroschannel Would love to see it. Great video and build btw! Playing an Anarchy Gaige on my current playthrough with less shock involved but might have to try more of the shock style.

The editing goes crazy

KLAATU BARADA NIKTO! (which was a phrase used in the sci fi classic the Day the earth stood still to let this huge robot attack people or possibly destroy the entire planet earth)

[@metroschannel]

I’ve always wondered what she meant by that. Thanks for sharing.

[@Tor-Erik]

0:53 Gaige is hacking her attack speed (I know this is just speed up). Finally a good Gaige shock build. How shocking! Thank you!

[@Kaspar69]

Love your videos man!

[@rodrigoleonides2960]

Wooow, this videos are very cool. I thought this was a huge channel by its production, keep up the good work man ❤

[@metroschannel]

Thank you! 😎

[@Over_9OOO]

Nice video man. Describes the build perfectly

[@Adprofundees]

As a newbie gaige whos barely lvl 80, goddamn the climb to greatness is steep, the shotgun used in the video is so hard to get man, AAAA

[@waltlock8805]

That's the one item I don't feel bad about gibbing into my save. Screw that farm.

[@turabisu]

I just clicked on a random BL2 video on impulse and was surprised with Tame Impala at the end. You earned my like! P.s. IMo Powerlines was better in the Currents Collectors edition trailer lol

[@metroschannel]

I have a lot of tame Impala on my channel. Easily one of if not my favorite artist

[@FooeyTurtle]

This build with patch on is Uber good and hella fun

[@mattburn23]

Incredible build guide! Great channel! 🤙

[@corralmcneil]

Love the editing

[@natesadz]

I have been wanting to take a Gaige to level 80 recently and this seems like it will make a great build

This was a perfect video

[@michalluty6501]

And then, the shock nomad comes XD

[@michalluty6501]

And some bosses electric phase

[@fallencastle]

You know to go stack fake killskills at Magnys lighthouse with the reload shock explosion, right?

[@metroschannel]

Yes however that is an exploit and makes the game very easy.

[@fallencastle]

@@metroschannel yeah, it makes the Bee a functional defensive shield. I love it. I farm tvhm with it. I'm starting uvhm and swapping between story and Oasis.

[@GZR_10]

Nice build!! New subscriber⭐️ Plizz do more Gaige builds🦾

[@tima8901]

Yeah but does it work against raid bosses

[@_apple_juice_]

Against Son of Craw and Pete for sure, but I'm not sure about the rest since matching elements is important especially on higher difficulties

[@stefannilsson2406]

That's nice and all, but wouldn't you do more damage by just using say, fire on flesh enemies?

[@metroschannel]

Why would you need to do more damage? At 250 stacks you’re already almost one shotting all enemies, at 400 you’re OP. It’s more fun to do a shock build because gaige is the one that will benefit the most out of it, and makes her unique.

[@stefannilsson2406]

@@metroschannel Fair enough

[@boxerheadninja4281]

​@@metroschannelshe does benefit the most out of it but it still does weaker damage than matching the elements

[@tar170]

@@boxerheadninja4281 Well, an argument can be made that 10 points in Wires Don't Talk is multiplicative to Anarchy's bonus damage and thus worthwhile. (If WDT were only worth about 18 stacks of anarchy, it would be a truly pathetic skill.) However, 400 stacks is effectively 520 stacks with 10/5 in WDT. Curiously, a maximized WDT bonus (30%) is added to the Shock Bone of the Ancients bonus (42%), so you can get a combined multiplier of about 1.72. That's very close to fire on flesh (x1.75) and corrosive on armor (x1.75). Of course, Fire Bones and Corrosive Bones exist! But a fair amount of players don't want to swap relics each time the target's surface type changes. Cycling through 4 weapon slots is simple enough, although in multiplayer in which the pause button is disabled, swapping relics/shields/grenade can be tedious -- although it will result in a more efficient and powerful setup.

Why not ust legendary catalyst mod?

[@paulblartmallcop3917]

I have been farming for so damn long on Xbox One trying to get the Texas Orphan Maker with Tedior grip. 60 runs and only one Texas prefix has popped up, all the other have been either captain blade’s, Doc’s or Huntin. Agony

[@metroschannel]

You can use many other Jacobs shotguns with tediore grip if you want to!

[@reecieboy7376]

This build looks very fun and im definetly gonna try it. How good is it to kill bosses and raid bosses?

I play ps4 no laptop to give myself perfect gear...had a laptop to gib perfects into my ps3 save cant transfer it to my new console as forgot my log in! Miss the twister so bad

[@metroschannel]

You can farm one! The twister isn’t super part dependent. I’ve gotten about 4 of them total so far. It’s about a 1% chance each run to get it.

[@gigacanno750]

@@metroschannel Well, 1% chance to spawn Triple O, but he has a 33% chance when he does show up.

how do you get your twister to have 5 mag size?

[@soevilspider]

matching grip prob

[@rodrigomda08]

Masoquist she.

[@DuK-2102]

uhh, Gaige only has 1 build, which is stack anarchy. This is still stack anarchy build. You only use all shock weapon element and that's it.

[@khrashingphantom9632]

Okay so this build is on the right track but it is NOT a good Shock build. I know you said you shouldn’t need to pre-stack (which was correct FANTASTIC job!) but you should have shown gameplay when you hadn’t done so. Also your load out doesn’t demonstrate the Shock portion of this build. For starters NO NORFLEET Topnea is the BEST for Gaige simply because of the faster launch and swap speed of Vladof launchers. Additionally if you’re going to play a Shock build your best shield or at least a STRONG shield is going to be The Black Hole. It has the bonus of disorienting enemies, shocking them, potentially healing you with a Moxxie weapon and constantly going off with Blood Soaked Shields. Additional you need to use a Legendary Catalyst for ANY Shock build if not for the Evil Enchantress skill boost alone. This may seems “odd” but Gaige does VERY well with Sniper rifles especially with higher anarchy so a shock Pitchfork or The Storm does well, same goes for The Longbow. Also throw in The Transformer as well for shields since it is Shock immune AND regens ammo. The Slow Hand is also BEASTLY with that shield if you have a shock version, but also you will want to carry a slag one for slagging. The Slagga also needs to always be in the arsenal along with The Tattler which Gaige does VERY well with especially a shock one. You’ll want to avoid The Interfacer with it’s ammo consumption and go for a Conference Call instead Shock preferably. The grenade choices were ALL wrong. If you’re using a shock Gaige The Chain Lightning, The Storm Front, and The Quasar are your BEST options for both healing and constant damage. Again you were on the right track.

[@ItsSLAXZG]

Sniper rifles? What are you on😂

[@khrashingphantom9632]

@@ItsSLAXZG Sniper rifles have high accuracy so they their effective range doesn’t degrade as quickly/drastically at higher levels of Anarchy, BUT they still get that large gun damage boost. Basically they go from long range to about mid-range at 150+ stacks. This is ESPECIALLY the case with The Longbow. The Storm has good synergy with her Shock Tree as does pretty much any Maliwan sniper (The Pimpernel WRECKS with high Anarchy stack without too bad a accuracy penalty) These are the things you don’t really see because KZbin meta doesn’t bother learning how Gaige ACTUALLY works. Lol

[@ItsSLAXZG]

@@khrashingphantom9632 that is true, but using sniper rifle close to the enemy while you can’t be long range with all your other weapons? Gaige is super powerful when you are right next to what you are aiming at( I am talking about 300+stacks) and in higher difficulties you can’t miss your sniper shots and waste ammo. Maybe she’s ‘’strong’’ but not really effective in my opinion.

[@khrashingphantom9632]

@@ItsSLAXZG Which is why you don’t use a sniper rifle close range, it’s at about mid range especially with 300+ stacks. The mid range attack is for softening up enemies or picking off trash mobs if they’re grouped up but too spread out to get all at once. This is especially the case if you’re using Deathtrap at all which he can pull aggro while you pop enemies at a safer distance. Some sniper rifles CAN be used up close though like The Pitchfork which is BEASTLY with high Anarchy stacks especially on larger strong enemies like Badass Pyschos and Constructors. Using Snipers is more of a hybrid choice which helps Gaige with her survival abilities in higher levels since she can’t health stack and relies so heavily on shields. There’s entire video dedicated to Sniper Gaige if you ever wanna check them out and I used to post builds about her back in day when the forums were still up. I did quite a bit of research with Gaige since I played her so much, and found there’s lots of cool stuff she can do outside what the KZbin meta said, which was terribly limiting and got quite a bit of community engagement with it. Hell the community even help me with my builds at that time. So YES Sniper Gaige can be do well with enough powers to play at high level ALTHOUGH the kicker is whether or not you can ACTUALLY play the game being able to manage resource, aim and hit crits (can is possible with sniper rifles with higher stacks), and adjust on the fly to situations that need it. Gaige can be damn near as involved to play as Zero when you start really diving into her skills, but me even saying that is BLASPHEMOUS in the KZbin space. Lol. Give a try.

[@ItsSLAXZG]
