I LOVE IT! Ugh… as an explosive Axton i’m wondering if i should use slag grenades with the BBB or main a Bee but not have as many grenades.
Less risk of downing or killing yourself when the enemy be all up in yo grill.

It depends on your playstyle. A 0 fuse Longbow Slag Transfusion won’t slag multiple enemies, but it will almost certainly slag the enemy you threw it at. If you want to slag multiple enemies at once (but not necessarily the one right in front of you) and don’t really need the healing from the transfusion, a low level Slag Crossfire or a purple x4 Magic Missile are pretty good slagging grenades. The Crossfire needs to be low-level so it doesn’t hurt you and it’s a great tool to keep large, stationary targets slagged. The Magic Missile is almost certain to slag multiple enemies and automatically refills your grenade supply over time, but it’s kinda slow and might slag/hurt you if you’re not careful. They all have their pros and cons, but all three are very good slagging tools. If you want to single out specific enemies to slag and could use some extra healing, go with the Longbow Slag Transfusion. If you want to constantly and randomly spray explosions/bullets/slag everywhere, go with a low-level Slag Crossfire. If you want to preemptively slag multiple enemies before engaging them, go with a purple x4 Magic Missile.

Damn, thank you! That crossfire sounds awesome. Do you think Double Up is a good enough source of slag? Or would i need crossfire?
the BB/crossfire bullets don’t hurt you. but the child grenades, well those do hurt.
Depends on your level. At OP0 and maybe the next couple of OP levels it should be good enough. At OP8 you might need some other source of slag, just in case. It is my only source of slag on Axton at OP0 and I do just fine.

If i wanted to 100% slag a single enemy in front of me, is there a legendary or serapj grenade that could do just that? The crossfire seems to involve a bit of luck and isnr always 100% slagging chance.
Just a small correction, the child grenades from the crossfire don’t spray bullets, they’re just regular grenades with the same element as the main grenade, also, the bouncing bonny does exactly the same thing as the crossfire but spawns child grenades at a slower rate.

If I’m not mistaken there isn’t a way to get guaranteed slag on impact with grenades even with Krieg, your better choices for slagging chances are still either a slag transfusion or a slag betty/bonny/crossfire since they have Area of Effect damage.
Gwah?
Please, Homing, (or better yet, Sticky Homing) is far better than longbow! Especially for a gun Zer0, he can move and dodge faster and throw from behind cover. You don’t even need to aim! Just pop out, rain down a hail of bullets on whomever is purple, then duck back behind cover.
This grenade was the cherry on the sundae that resulted in me finally soloing OP8 Ancient Dragons.
This brings all the love:
The mod’s delivery mechanism is mostly a matter of preference, with a homing delivery you can’t guarantee which will be the target the grenade will home into and also you won’t get the grenade to deploy as quickly as you would with a longbow.
Preferences apart, I find Lobbed as the best all-around in ease-of-use, range, speed and accuracy.
Longbow is generally considered to be the best delivery method for a slag transfusion (and not only transfusions) precisely because you can aim it at the exact enemy you want to slag and the fuse time is shorter. If you’re lucky you can get one with 0 fuse. It’s reliable, fast and precise. Homing usually takes longer to find enemies and explode and it might end up slagging a lowly midget instead of the badass with a rocket launcher right next to him. Sometimes you have no cover and still need to fast slag an enemy. Homing is still a good prefix and I use it when I can’t find a longbow, but you have more control with a longbow. Depending on your playstyle, a longbow is just more reliable. Still, it all comes down to a matter of preference and different playstyles. For me, it’s longbow or bust for every type of grenade I use.

For me it is everything Homing. Generally the only time I need to slag for a kill is for big bosses and there is usually only 1 at a time. Very few times have I had it go wrong.
My favorite is Sticky Homing Bonus Package (x10) It never matters where it lands amongst a crowd, it will strip down shields pretty quick.
try a sticky homing meteor shower

That’s what i use now and i love it. Would a slag Leech be effective at slagging?
not particularly. it basically turns your grenade slot into a dedicated healer. It’s better than the O-negative, but you lose a lot of damage.

So the absolute best grenade for effectively slagging a single enemy would be a purple transfusion?
Or a purple Magic Mistle

Unfortunately i dont have access to that dlc 
Is leech or o negative a better grenade? O negative comes in slag so that’s pretty nice.
Of the two I prefer the O- but some people like the Leech more. Honestly it all comes down to personal preference. Try both and see which comes it on top.
