Tiggs and Kybs are still a thing?
Redistributor is under TG while Kybs is HM. Is this it?
What is the best Tiggs version, x9 or x18?
Definitely enjoying the Beacon ā splash Maliwan pistol in the style of the Hellshock ā and Proprietary License ā Hyperion version of the Kaoson.
UPDATE: Gargoyle is really good too ā should make a wicked COV Moze build.
2ND UPDATE: Flipper is also splash. Will probably be extremely well-suited for an MS build.
3RD UPDATE: Donāt sleep on the Peashooter. It is a purple quest reward you get at the beginning of the DLC. Pellets are splash and crits create homing ricochets that are also splash.

Tiggs still seems great. I havenāt tested it extensively but it still obliterates Maliwan mobs on Athenas even with a build that isnāt great for it. I would say go for a higher pellet count for MoD procs, since that helps with its low mag.
Kybs is also fine as HM. Kaoson and Flipper are better, but it still works.
(I just did a Maliwan Takedown and go 3 Kybās, 3 Tiggās and 1 Redistributorā¦ got insanely lucky with drops xD).
Iām not sure about Redistributor. It is in TG since I havenāt revisited since Mayhem 1.0 days and I need to farm a good one and try it out again.

Tiggs still worked pre dlc 3 patch, one of the few pre-cartel weapons that still worked on M10. It is more viable now, but I havenāt played the new content to compare yet.

Not only is the flipper splash but all the projectiles are unlisted and each can proc a full damage short fuse blast.

Has anyone used the Compressed Frequency? That is a weird gun. Iāve killed myself a lot with it.
EDIT: Complex Root with TCP will kill you even at max range.
Iām sleeping on the pea shooter since i dont think it can come with an anointment? But if Iām wrong on that then Iāll be all about it
Iāve been waiting so very long for ogre to be good again as well; hasnāt happened yet, sadly

Yeah I just soloād the guardian takedown using a corrosive/shock flipper with a worthless annointment + a blast master. Doesnāt melt bosses as fast as a Sandhawk but it also never even comes close to running out of ammo. Pretty sure a consec hits flipper is going to be the new Kybs Worth/Kaoson for Moze
Oh, and the flipper wonāt deal self damage so itās really great for the crystal charging phases in the new takedown

Yeah Shock Flipper w/n2m Shock and Green Monster should be really good for Guardian crystals. As well as full corrosive for the bosses.
Every shot kills me no matter my distance from the enemies
I did exactly that, CH flipper and lightshow for the entire takedown (and fire monarch for the few critter areas). They arenāt as powerful as the sandhawk or the monarch, but they donāt ever go out of ammo and I can sustain them with blast master.

Couple questions: with +5 TCP is it a good idea to put more points into TCP? 10 seems like you are asking to blow yourself up! Also, for AB whatās the best loadout? I usually run rockets since I pilot but the AI is trash with them.
I would definitely put a full 10 points in TCP. The splash radius is the same size no matter how many points you put in. The only thing that changes is the change of doubling the radius. In the instances where you feel that you will more likely blow yourself up, use a different gun doing self damaging splash damage or equip a transformer and use a gun with the shock element.
I find that the best loadout with AB are Sabot Rounds and Capacitive Armature. Iron Bear has fantastic accuracy and those do great damage. Sabot Rounds also do splash damage so you Iron Bear gets life steal.

I just tried out the shock/corrosive laser combo on Auto Bear with Rocketeer in the Guardian Takedown andā¦ yeah itās amazing. I had a really easy time with the crystals because the guardians swarmed Auto Bear.
Iām running this spread so that I can still swap to a BlastMaster when fighting bosses:

Iāve also found it beneficial to place Auto Bear on some kind of elevated platform, so that heās shooting down at enemies.
Iām also going to start farming for a +5 TCP with Action Skill Damage / Splash Damage in anticipation of an Iron Bear nerfā¦

Yes AOE damage affects IB hardpoints that do splash like Corrosive rail gun (Sabot?)
The other thing to keep in mind is that the AOE roll on artifacts increases both the size and damage of AOE attacks ā so if you keep blowing yourself up, you may want to not use it.
Good thinking. I still havenāt been able to get a good COM for a Rocketeer build. Hopefully heās not hit too hard with the nerfs; if he becomes useless again I will cry.
Also, in general, is anyone feeling that, in spite of the grenades scaling, most legendary grenades are still underperforming? Everything Iāve tested (including Epicenter) has been disappointing.
Iāve not tested enough grenades in terms of DPS yet, but I would vouch for Itās Piss being top gear, at least when it comes to piloting Iron Bear. When grenades only have a 20% chance of dropping, itās not frequent enough for consistent grenade DPS. With Bearās hardpoints doing almost all the damage, you may as well use a grenade that allows them to hit harder.
