Just kidding. :dukecheese:

Since you’re here, Pimp, any advice for the OP?

You’re lucky I like you. Lol.

To the op the build looks good. I personally always want resourceful in my explosive builds because of battlefront. I would suggest a grog so you can heal off your grenades tho I’m sure someone already said that.

So after about a week of tinkering and killing of come to a conclusion. I F*****g love the SWORDSPLOSION.

I ended up settling on this build.

Later when I have more time I’m going to go thru the master build list for Axton and see if it matches any, I hope not, I’d like to do a kinda write up about my time with the SWORDSPLOSION.

It’s a great shotgun provided you remember not to use it up close… :dukenukem:

#22

That’s part of its charm. If you haven’t killed yourself multiple times in a single Swordsplosion session you’re not worthy of the gun.

Some of us like staying on our feet, Hattie. :stuck_out_tongue:

Wait…what am I saying? This is Krieg we’re talking about. :dukefp:

#24

Yes, how’s that permadeath Krieg run going

#25

That’s basically my current explosive build for Axton. The only differences are I don’t have any points in Phalanx Shield, Mag-Lock or Grenadier. I’m not spamming grenades with this build and I prefer my turret on the ground, so I don’t really miss them. Instead, I have Quick Charge maxed out and the other points in Expertise. I also have one point in Resourceful and only four in Sentry, since I wear a Legendary Engineer with it. My relic of choice is an Explosive one. I’m still fine-tuning, though. In my opinion, your build is looking pretty good.

I’m using them for slagging, not necessarily spamming but its nice to know I have em if I need em

#28

I don’t see anything wrong with that. I see Mag-Lock, Phalanx Shield and Grenadier as “optional” skills that you take depending on the playstyle. You got all the essential splash/grenade damage and survival skills covered in a well balanced build, so it makes sense to spend a couple of points on skills that favor your personal playstyle.

#29

Totally agree. I had enough for all the major skills I wanted and put the leftovers in those 3.

I have to try this permanent death run

Also I like this build I just can’t skip resourceful in an explosive build.

#31

I don’t use my turret much, except for taking agro in Densely populated areas or when I need the extra damage from Battlefront for larger foes

#32

It’s not. I’m crazy, not masochistic.

I use to use a Legendary Engineer build and decided since I had all the right stuff I’d try something new
