Torrent for Athena (she’s using 2 of them actually) and the Plunkett for Nisha.
Torrent is pretty much a “what if S&S/Vladof would make SMG’s” and it makes for a excellent mobbing gun imo.
Specially with skills that give you free ammo. Love it.
Plunkett looks pretty good aesthetically, is Jakobs, and it is pretty much made to abuse Nisha’s Crackshot and Magnificent 6 when using the Six-Shooter COM.
I tried to keep it to some of my more obscure one’s to make this post more interesting.
I like ‘One Last Thing’ looping the Plunkett as Clap-trap.
I also enjoy jumping really f*cking high with the Moonscaper.
Awesome posts. The Torrent is a huge favorite. I haven’t used the Plunkett much, but OLT and Nisha’s skills (so many…) make it look extra appealing.

Which guns and set ups get you fired up?
[/quote]Literally: all of them but one: I haven’t yet found a lethal niche for the Party Popper yet.
I remember when the game was still new and I was hellbent on finding that thing. Just couldn’t wait until I had Athena at cap.
Claptrap, SWAB-ing with a Too Scoops. Nearly forgot that one, but the Too Scoops was one of the reasons why I started a Claptrap playthrough.
Claptrap and the Flakker is a lot of fun.
Another lucky find* of mine has been a glitch x2 Pepperbox with 04L4M0A0. That thing is stupid fun. I use Sponsored By to toss shock on it and go nuts mobbing.
*I actually spend quite a bit of time running around in the Clappy DLC, and I collect glitch guns until I’m full, then grind the undesirables until I get cool stuff.
Taser - Cryo on Aurelia, shock on Athena and Claptrap. One of my personal favorites.
Glitch Crowdsourcing - Cryo on Aurelia, shock on Athena. Aurelia’s is a Critical one, wrecks everything; with her Duchess stacks combined with Hyperion recoil, you can basically snipe with it. Athena’s is pretty basic, but once you get some Maelstrom the thing doesn’t stop firing.
Fatale - Pretty standard but it’s such an awesome gun. Carry it on everyone, have luneshine 10% crits and 30% ignore shields. SMG-snipe hybrid.
Glitch Ravager - With Claptrap and Aurelia. Pretty self-explanatory. Crazy good with both, things die quickly.
Last one off the top of my head, Longnail and Machine - fun for the whole family. Can pick people off from far away, or with Aurelia and Athena you can get within shotgun range and no scope everything in sight.
Regarding the Fatale: that’s another example of a gun I LOVE in this game, but don’t care for in BL2. I use it very heavily with Jack, but I never use the Bitch despite having 3 classes at OP8. The Maggie is another. I occasionally run with it on Axton or Maya, but only casually. That gun is a staple for me in TPS.
Frankly, I feel like more guns are useful in TPS.
Speaking of the Maggie, I ran with a Deputy style build earlier, except with the Celestial Doppleganger and Maggie. Chucking Quasars until 0/10 grenades, with 10/5 Just Compensation, I had something like 22 in the mag (Bandit grip), plus 5/5 AA. That was a lot of shooting between reloads, and I never got below 700 ammunition.
The Spadroon is just amazing to use on Athena. But slam with Hades Shackles + Epicenter, kill the first Scav and see Overload kill the others. Freeze one Scav in the next pack, Blood Rush, repeat.
I miss playing TPS, but starting all over again is seeming painful enough to keep me away as Im already restarting BL2 due to console issues. :(pensive:
The Hail does that for me, in BL2 I only used it once, but in TPS it is one of the weapons that i always have equiped on Athena. And hope I can gett it to work with Claptrap aswell.

Once the lightning elemental has been summoned, I’ll try to keep it alive as long as possible by following it around and working over the enemies it lands on. It’s insanely satisfying to be able to juggle it around a mob several times without letting it die.
[quote=“l_gabrielcruz, post:14, topic:1203754, full:true”]Freeze one Scav in the next pack, Blood Rush, repeat.[/quote]Are you freezing for Flash Freeze or for something else? Blood Rush sounds fun, but I’m still way too hooked on her Ceraunic Storm tree.
[quote=“l_gabrielcruz, post:14, topic:1203754, full:true”]I miss playing TPS, but starting all over again is seeming painful enough to keep me away as Im already restarting BL2 due to console issues[/quote]I’m keeping TPS in the bank for that rare occasion when I tire of playing BL2 (but dang if the Dahl Training Facility, Holodome, or Mutator Arena aren’t worth a little vacation). It’ll still be there whenever you’re free to go after it with a fresh set of eyes. Do you have a gaming PC? As in, if you’re starting BL2 over from scratch, this would be an opportune time to spice it up a little by playing on a new platform.
The Dragon COM is especially good as the DoT passed goes with Omega-Senshu boost. I stoped at lv 50 (Didnt buy the Season pass yet) and it was the best COM for DoT by far. The Storm is really good for Elemental Barrage abuse but I was tired of it already.
Yes, Flash Freeze to keep the stacks for the next pack. I was rolling a Xiphos/Ceraunic Storm build. Just skipped the first tree entirely. 
PS3 only, unfortunately. Really want a PS4 
Sorry to necro this but since were both on ps3 we should play together sometime.
party popper + wintertide = good times.
its getting to the point i’d rather pay that re-spawn fee than swap weapons.
I’ve recently had a ton of fun with:
Jack, using shock Machine and corrosive Machine, ‘Sponsored By’ each other for stupid fast fire rate, with 11/5 Absolute Advantage. That’s a very good time, and a fast way to burn down Eclipse!
Jack, using the Absolute Zero + Casual Flakker, ‘Sponsored By’, and a Celestial Doppleganger COM for 10/5 Just Compensation benefit at 0/10 grenades and the extra accuracy and a Bomber oz kit. That rips up the Holodome BA round like nobody’s business.
cryo T4S-R with Nisha. I got it as a drop while running the Holodome with Nisha for extra XP at level 24, and picked up the Unforgiven soon after. What the eeefffffffff. They should have simply called her far right tree “All Dead Everything”.
I generally dont like legendary weapons, because they often require grinding and even boss-gringing and I dont like boss fightes in general. Just whailing all your ammo reserves on 1 big tank that can sometimes 1-hit kill you… So I list non-legendary weapons.
Torgue assault rifles, mainly ones with 20+ clip I just like using them 
They deal more dmg than non-elements and no one resists them (I have no dlcs so dont now if that changed).
Ravagers (Torgue 4-barrel shotguns) Orginally, I didnt use them, because I thought they dont deal enough damage per clip to kill mobs without reloading. Then I tried explosive Claptrap with them and just exploded frozen shuggaraths to pieces with one clip. I ended up using them on my other characters too!
Bandit shotgun and rocketlauncers I just love been able to keep firing with these guns! Bandit launchers get me out of ffyl better than other launchers because extra shots mean extra damage before reloading. Shotguns I can just keep firing until target is dead.
Lasers i just love variety of thise weapons! I dont have exact favourite, but I prefer railguns which can outdamage snipers in some cases.
Revisiting this discussion after a recent, slow evolution in taste. My preferred lasers used to be beams. I recently got ahold of a Dahl cryo beam with Aurelia and have really come to appreciate it. That prompted me to try them out a bit more with Wilhelm. What I’m finding is that accuracy boosts + crit boosts make them incredibly easy to kill quickly with. The light recoil is fantastic, so it’s basically rapid fire crit chaining until the target dies. That doesn’t take long with cryo beams!
Do you mean blasters?
Yes. Whoops!
