[SIZE="20]The Huntress[/SIZE]
Markswoman (5/5):
Critical Damage, a unanimous choice for a build based on sniper rifles, also, 100% more Aim Speed because why not?
Only the Best (5/5):
Gun Bullet Damage and Speed for the literal meaning of DPS. Powerful and fast.
Culling the Herd (5/5):
For a pure DPS build, more gun damage is always good.
Long Ranger Killer (1/1):
A point which depending on your situation can help considerably, and for the cost of just one point, it is worth.
Silver Lining (1/1):
Spending that point depends on your choice, I distributed in this way because I think it’s interesting ‘conserve’ bullets because some of snipers rifles consume a lot of ammo (in the case of Vladof). This point is not really necessary.
I Never Miss (5/5):
Like the Critical Ascensi0n Zero’s Skill Point, this point is the key for the smash of the enemies.
Magic Bullet (1/1):
A little bit of health regeneration, because why not? Remain stable is important.
Custom Loads (1/1):
Another skill point that depends on your taste. Not much necessary, I put because I think is a cool skill point.
[SIZE="20]Cold Money[/SIZE]
Avalanche (5/5):
Good skill point. Freeze enemies while having a Sniper Rifle in your hands is very interesting, facilitates the chance of getting critical damage. Also, increase the cryo damage, which is very nice.
Bitter Riposte (1/5):
Good for freezing this enemies and makes the game easier as fuk.
Short Summer (5/5):
Increase the weapon damage and stabilizes the cooldown rate.
Frigid Touch (4/5):
I put some skill points here because it is interesting to have some health based on your freeze chance, as this skill tree is focused on cryo element.
Fragment Rain (1/1):
I put point in this gamechanger skill because is nice to have cryo damage when you have too much enemies in the screen. The Ice Fragments spawns is really cool.
Frostbite (5/5):
Increase cryo damage, because why not?
Cold Advance (5/5):
A little bit of Critical Hit Damage, because what the hell not? Also, increase the Action Skill Duration.
Whiteout (5/5):
This skill point is ridiculous and too much overpower. Makes the damage from enemies turn into dust when you active your action skill.
Polar Vortex (1/1):
I put a skill point here for getting Synergy with Bitter Riposte.
Wintertide (1/1):
Interesting skill point, because after killing an enemy you will give your arms a Cryo Effect, which is very nice because you do not have to change your weapon to freeze your enemy. Also, increase the cryo damage.

Slot 1 – Longnail/Droog
I like the Vladof’s Sniper Rifles because they are fast and powerful. Longnail is a cool gun, and Droog we already know from BL2. I know that the Machine is impossible to get at the moment, but in the future he can be fixed. This is my choice for the Slot 1.
Slot 2 – Skullmasher/Pitchfork/Snider
I like to have another type of sniper on slot 2 are kinda because of different enemies in this game. Unfortunately we do not have a great variety of sniper rifles good until the moment, so these are my options for Slot 2.
Slot 3 – IVF/Bullpup/Rosie/Torrent
It is important to have an weapon in other type in Slot 3 in the case of missing ammo with their sniper rifles. You can use any weapon you want, I put some I have in my inventory. The preference is that you have a cryo weapon variety of any other weapon you have, because this build focuses on cryo element (this serves for ALL slots).
Slot 4 – Probe/Nukem/Badaboom/Cryophobia
These weapons are for emergencies, to avoid Fight For Your Life, or if you fall to FFYL, get the Second Wind.
Shield – Reogenator/Sham/Avalanche
You can use any shield in the game that will not matter, depends on your choice. I put these shields because I would have in my inventory. Sham and Reogenator, in my opinion, are universal shields, and Avalanche because of Cryo Nova and Cryo Spike Damage.
Grenade – Cryo Grenade/Quasar/Storm Front
It depends on your choice. I like the Cryo Grenade as priority one because of the numerous buffs in the Skill Tree. Quasar and Storm Front, because in my opinion are universal grenades.
Class Mod – Celestial Baroness/Chronicler of Elpis/Foxy Big Game Hunter/Indifferent Gentry/Frost Queen
The Celestial Baroness is for they want a bonus for all skills (cryo/sniper). The Chronicler of Elpis is for the people they want a bonus for cryo, but this class mod have bonuses to skills point which we not spend, so I will show other 3 options, particularly my favorites.
The Foxy Big Game Hunter is a class mod for those who want more bonuses using the sniper, and that makes the game so easy because it’s so ridiculous when you have +6 points I Never Miss (7692% more damage with 999 stacks). With 300-400 stacks you destroy almost everything in 1-Shot.
Another option for this build is the Indifferent Gentry, which increases the bonus of cryo stuff. It also increases the cooldown Rate, which is important because with this skill you establish a synergy with the rest of the tree.
And we have Frost Queen, which buffs cryo damage. I prefer the class mod Gentry instead of the Queen. Because with Gentry you benefit the rest of the tree when activate your skill action, increasing the cooldown rate is interesting. In addition, the Queen buff cryo damage, and we may be using other elements instead of cryo.
Oz Kit – Precision Strike/Arctic Duality Cryo/Arctic Duality Laser/Sniper
Precision Strike because increase the critical hit damage. Also, buff accuracy, which is very nice. Duality for the people want more cryo or sniper damage.
