So maybe this doesnt warrent its own thread but i guess i want brag a bit, and also hoping for some well wishes as im about to start op 7 to get op8 status. Ive played gaige solo to this point and hope to get her to op8 solo. I know i am defimetly not the first to do this but i feel pretty accomplished as i am a casual player. wish me luck! Oh and in case you are womdering what my loadout is, dpuh, hornet, hellfire, noob nozzle, legendary cataylst, corrosive/fire bones, chain lightning, and a white turtle sheild.

Ive considered it. Found a corrosive one in a chest, buuuut im using 2 other pistols that already have high ammo consumptiom. (A hornet and a dpuh) also gaiges only skill that buffs gun damage is anarchy and that doesnt affect reloads. And she has no grenade boosting skills.
Why a white turtle shield? Iāve never played gaige so I donāt know if she benefits from using a crap shield but that seems odd.
Anyone who goes through digistruct peak (UVHM) solo, getting there op levels solo, is an elite. Anyone who says otherwise is an ignoramus. Well done sir, and congratulations! 
Please let me know once you unlock op8.

White turtle shields reduce your health more than their purple variants, so if you plan to rely on healthgate to survive, you need to get your health as low as possible
This trick works much better with Axton though

Oh, OK. Iāve been using the Bee or a cracked sash variant shield for the last several months. Slow charging shields make my balls itch. Itās intolerable.
Iāve only tried up to OP3. I never thought anything of OP8 until I started doing the peak runs. Good god, man. Itās tough. I donāt have OP8 or raid boss solo skill so good luck with that. I love the Hellfire. I got one with a Maliwan grip and Dahl sight on my OP2 run from Scorch and I was ridiculously excited.
Will do and thanks!
Yup. I actually have one that drops my max health to 1! But that seems to low. I usually die immediatly. I stick to one that drops me to about 2000 health and has a low recharge delay. (2.3 seconds) Without healthgating, the noob nozzle and my insane dot id be a dead teenage girl prodigy. Im sure it works better with axton because of grit and preperation right? However i find him to be fairly bland and hes my second least favorite vault hunter.
Iām curious to know, why the white shield? Are you limited to gear?
Health gaiting, lowering my max health means enemies do less damage. Also makes it easier to fill my health bar back up to avoid being 1 shotted.
