When you get dropped, what is your go-to for getting back up?
I’ve tried the Norfleet. It’s colorful. It’s beastly, but it always seems to swerve AROUND every enemy. If I’m playing straight sniping, I just swap back and forth between slag and matching element Pimp. That almost always gets me back on my feet.
If I’m not sniping, I’ll use the UH. I think it’s a bit of a cheap weapon. Buuuuuuuut when I need a kill, I’m not above using it. I’ll usually equip it on my Melee Zero because there is nothing more annoying than trying to crawl toward a psycho who is back peddling across Pandora. They love to stay just out of reach.
Usually whatever weapon I’m holding. Like for Maya, it’s usually my Tattler. However, if the target is too far away to effectively use the Tattler, then I’ll switch to my shock Bitch. For Gaige, it’s whatever I’m holding, be it my Twister, my Hail, my Florentine, ect. Axton is my Swordsplosion (which is what usually puts me in FFYL in the first place :P) Krieg is just Light the Fuse.
Slag doesn’t deal less damage. It just doesn’t benefit as much from an already slagged target. Slag guns deal normal damage against shield, flesh and armor, and it could double as a mass slagging tool… All in all, along with shock, it’s one of the most versatile element for a Fleet.
Since Maya cannot ADS while in FFYL, the next time I go into FFYL I am going to try using a Practicable Interfacer (Fire) and see how that works out. Normally I have a Sand Hawk (Fire) equipped, but being DAHL it really benefits from the burst fire you get while ADS. With my luck, whatever puts me into FFYL will be Fire resistant.
These builds use unique weapon types per element, so the choices here are only available depending on how I’m rolling. For simplicity, I’ve just chosen my favorite per build.
Vladof build - Topneaa
Bandit - Badaboom
Hyperion - Butcher
Maliwan - Hive
Torgue - Topneaa
Jakobs - Twister
Tediore - Baby Maker
Dahl - nothing (that dude is screwed if he goes down).
outside of Rocket Launchers, the best guns to get out of FFYL are usually Hyperion ones, because they remian very accurate even when you do not ADS. The Bitch is a GREAT choice if you can aim. Otherwise, the CC does wonders.
