Yep. I do it all the time. My go-to weapons are a DPUH (Torgue grip) and Ogre (Torgue grip and Dahl stock). I also have a Casual Ravager (Torgue grip, Hyperion stock) and a Badaboom (Bandit grip, Maliwan sight, and Torgue stock) for second winds/grouped up enemies. I use a Rough Rider, Blood of the Ancients with shotgun and AR ammo (I think), a Legendary Sickle COM, and a longbow Storm Front with a zero fuse time. I also have a longblow slag bouncing betty with a 0 fuse time for those times when I need to slag, but the SF is usually enough to get the party started. This is the build I use.
A little late here but explosive Krieg is my favourite. The obvious gear you’ve proposed, especially Swordsplosion, but also the Kerblaster. I prefer the it over the Ogre on Krieg ( opposite on Axton ). Fastball is really the best explosive grenade compared with Meteor Shower in my opinion. Badaboom for sure although the Nukem can get an impressive mag size at full stacks.
Crunch COM is good for maximum Bloodsplosion but Blister is more fun and more practical. Legendary Reaper is better still.
I’ll have to look the parts up, so I know what I’m looking at when I go farm the Torgue machines for one then, and no I’m not familiar with it at all, but I’m gonna try it out with explosive Krieg just to see if I like it, or not. Still farming some stuff for him at the moment though. Thanks for the info.
