Any spectacular gun-based Zer0 builds?

[the_bat_turtle]

I was just wondering if anyone has any good gun builds for Zer0, as I’ve already tried melee, and I enjoyed it quite a bit, and I’m no good at sniper, and I recently heard of people playing a gun-based Zer0, neither sniper nor melee. Is this actually a thing and if so, can someone suggest a build?

[Frightning (The quick and the dead)]

afaik, non-sniper gun Zer0 is usually gun-melee hybrid, which you might find really fun (I think, when I hit 72 and feel like changing up my Zer0’s playstyle from sniper, that is what I’ll try next on him).

[Frightning (The quick and the dead)]

As for specific setups, maybe something like this with Leg. Hunter:

A gun melee hybrid build sounds interesting. As long as there’s variety and not just a bladed slag moxxi weapon and a rapier with a hide of terra or love thumper

What gear would you reccomend for this build?

[Frightning (The quick and the dead)]

I honestly dunno, but bladed weapons are certainly excellent for it, anything that’s good in CQB, especially anything that can dump alot of damage fast (reload speed isn’t much of a problem w/ Killer+Fast Hands). I haven’t gotten outta NVHM w/ my mains yet, so I can’t really comment on specific endgame gear (I am a vet of BL1 though, so I understand the big picture of BL gameplay in general and actually do have a lot of hours in BL2, taken the slow road to getting to 72).

[Frightning (The quick and the dead)]

I should mention that my intended final build is as much a pure gun Zer0 as you can get, but that kinda guarantees that you have a sniper leaning because you have enough points to get all the good gun stuff+the sniper specific stuff.

My target build:

There are a lot of gun builds for Zero that aren’t melee hybrids
And there are also no needs for snipers to enter the mix at all.

Here are a few examples:

This one is based around shotguns and deception/Unforseen:

[Build] Spy Zero

Updated to level 80! With the latest patch, Gearbox balanced a bunch of skills that were either bad, or that scaled poorly in UVHM, and Zero’s Unforseen is among those. Upon learning of that, I immediately set out to make this old favorite build of mine a reality. This build is both old and New: I have played through the game 5 times with it… but never past level 50 since it was not viable in UVHM. Yes, I actually made 3 separate Zeros just to be able to play it again and again, as it is, in m…

This one is based around the Kitten:

[Build] Kitten Zero

Updated to level 80! Note: This is not a new build. I’ve just been really slow porting my stuff over from the old forum. You can find the original Thread here. … Inspired by Dark Souls’ Kitten video for the old Top gear thread, I decided to give this a shot, and boy did my pistol build just took a hike There is nothing really new about this build, I just want to share my experience and maybe make others want to try it, as I am having a blast I soloed everything t…

…And those are just my builds … there are a lot of other builds out there.

Zero works great with pistols and shotguns, especially Jakobs.
It’s very easy to make a build around the infinity or the Maggie for example.

Here’s another good example of a generic pistol build for Zero:

[Build] Pistolero Zero

Pistolero Zero I noticed there were no pistol builds on Zero’s build collection. So I am going to add a general one. The Build [image] Sniping 5/5 Headsh0t 5/5 Killer 5/5 Precisi0n 1/1 B0re 5/5 0ne Sh0t 0ne Kill 3/5 Vel0city Cunning 5/5 Fast Hands 5/5 Ambush 1/1 Death Mark 5/5 Rising Sh0t (Should be 11/5 with Disturbed Stalker com) 5/5 Innervate 5/5 Tw0 Fang 1/1 Death Bl0ss0m Bloodshed 5/5 Killing Bl0w 5/5 Grim 5/5 F0ll0wthr0ugh (Should be 10/5 with disturbed Stalker com) 1…

A typical Cunning/Bore gun Zero build looks like this usually:

With the remaining points going into Velocity, precision and/or Unforseen, depending on the gear.

@Chuck80’s already given you some great suggestions. You’ll find a wider collection of builds of various types here:

Assassin Master List: Build Collection

Thanks to Mirrorada for originally doing this. If you have a build you wish to have added to the OP please list the following when submitting your build: Manufacturer: (name of manu.) OR Type: (Gun (and type), Melee, Misc/Boss) Name and link: Level of build: (please list if it is OP 8 compatible) Specific Gear needed: Yes or No Difficulty level: Low, Med, High Builds are broken down by their primary function. However, this does not mean that a build under the “Pure DPS” tag is ONLY a DPS…

The individual builds usually have suggested gear, but there’s also this:

T0p Gear f0r Zer0 - Videos being added; list complete

[image] Zer0 has several playstyles that go from melee to sniper, passing through Cunning/B0re that makes use of several different types of guns. With so much variety to him I thought it was only fair we have our own thread dedicated to gear and what is best for him at end-game. I’ll cover first the Cunning/B0re area of gear, finishing off with Sniper builds gear and melee build gear, since the last two are the ones that have “less” variety and options to it. So let’s get started. I will not…

I’ll give some of these a go and see which one I like most. Thanks guys

Most of Zero’s sniper tree synergises well with shotgun play, so it’s completely viable to run a gunner build.

Check out some of Man of low moral fiber’s does it suck shotgun runs with Zero for some ideas on the build.

Left and middle tree mainly and probably killing blow.
