UVHM, level 55 - Stuck at Deadlift - advice?

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Nisha the Lawbringer
#1

Hey folks. As the title says, I’ve started UVHM as Nisha and I’m stuck at Deadlift at level 55. Even using my Ol’ Rosie i can’t get his shield down fast enough.

My current gear and build are jakobs style - I have a level 50 Flayer, a 51 Rustler’s Striker, a level 50 Dastardly Maggie (Hyperion grip) and not much else that’s good. I do have a level 50 Absolute Zero and a couple other things, including the aforementioned Ol’ Rosie, but nothing seems to be doing the trick.

Current build:

Deadlift is 90% shield
Use any shock gun and you’ll do 3x as much damage.

Jakoba guns are great if you can activate Tombstone, but the lack of enemies to kill to activate them makes these guns …average.

You also have NO survivability skill whatsoever: No order, no law, no discipline, no bottled courage.

So…I should go back to TVHM and respec? I’ll try the golden chest for a shock gun, too.

Any suggestions for my build? If I’m going to use my Striker more than anything, I can probably afford to drop a point from Mag6 and axe High Noon, then take Law, Order and whatever’s next. I could probably take that single point in the tier 1 in riflewoman too.

try this build here ( http://thepresequel.com/Nisha/4101410100005050150000005501005151/higcrapshooter,auto ) with your flayer, should get him dead as long as you have kill skills and showdown active at the same time.

@onlyin_kansas’ suggestion seems pretty spot on.

I would still recomment you get a shock gun one way or another though.

GOD DAMMIT I GOT A SHOCK VLADOF SNIPER AND STILL CAN’T DO THIS, THOSE HOMING BALLS OF SHOCK YOUR FIT ARE REALLY AGGRAVATING ME

this is starting to make me not enjoy this game

Please just wait like 20 minutes, I made a video showing you how to easily do it. with your level of guns, your level of character, and a build you can switch to, I even used your COM so you don’t need to do anything but change your build and watch my video on how to easily kill him. My video is uploading to YouTube, I will post it here for you shortly.

Much appreciated, but I probably won’t be trying again tonight.

#9

That’s fine, its pretty easy to kill him once you know what to do. He dies in less than 5 seconds usually as long as you execute it right. You’ll see in my video I ran my character to a certain corner right as I enter his arena, just wait there for like 15-20 seconds, to make sure his minions spawn, I kept my video as short as possible so my upload would be faster.

15 Minutes left on my upload.

Thanks. I’ve never had trouble with Deadlift before now.

#11

He can be a jerk on UVHM :smile:

#12

@chuck80 ,s idea is good too. that vladof sniper with kill skills should beast on him, unless it has crappy parts.

#13

It probably does have crappy parts. It’s got the damage prefix, I think, but hyperion barrel and frankly I didn’t check the other parts. I assume it has something dumb like jakobs stock given the recoil I’ve had.

And seriously, HOW do you deal with those homing shock orbs that seem to spawn at random?

#14

He throws them, you just beast mode him before he has a chance to do anything, trust me, the video I made makes it pretty self explanatory.

Just take a breather/break, check back here in 15 minutes, and I will have posted it by then :stuck_out_tongue:

hyperion barrel :frowning: i recommend following @charrisx 's advice, probably very similar to what i would say (i’ll guess its a variation of his jakobs build with the flayer).

#16

Yep but like I said, using all his level of weapons, with his com, so he wouldn’t need to change anything but his build to make it work.

7mins ish on upload, then processing, however long that will take.

#17

i think his problem is no hot lead. dead lift is in an atmosphere and both of us know what hot lead does in an atmosphere with tombstone active…

#18

Ya, no doubt about that.

I’m mostly certain this is the build I went with.

Yes this is the exact build I used. Video is almost done. Few more minutes sorry, crappy internet.

#19

I put at least 4 points into Hot Lead before the fight. I don’t have a com that boosts it, though.

#20

There is no com to boost Hot Lead, just use your com it works great. Video is processing.
