Hello vault hunters. Im curious to know what your favorite ways to kill enemies in stupid or stylish ways. Kills that are so overpowered that they make you laugh or just silly strategies that suprisingly work.
Ill start. Personally my favorite way to kill bnk3r is to throw a deliverance at him and bore him to death on zero. Theres something so satisfying about it.
Hitting 3 targets at once with a Godfinger that procced Nth degree/CE. Have yet to replicate that.
This thread has @Adabiviak written all over it. Heās kind of the community mad scientist/encyclopedia killtanica.
What about using the Buffalo at near-Godfinger range? Doesnāt really work in UVHM of course (mostly because itās true to the Jakobs one-shot approach but cannot keep up with the 4x enemy health buff), but in the lower modes it feels so satisfying when you manage to pop a distant head without a scope.
Donāt try it with the Elephant Gun, though. The low accuracy and the lack of iron sights on its Hyperion barrel make it much harder. Zer0 might be able to pull it off with a few accuracy buffs and the crosshairs while aiming in Decepti0n, but the others ā¦ good luck.
Another one: hitting a flying enemy with Kriegās thrown buzzaxe. Last time I visited Sawtooth Cauldron with Krieg (several months ago) I didnāt have any suitable guns for the buzzards, so I lobbed tons of axes their way. They all died ā¦ eventually.
Not impossible. But for me its easier to handle a Unforgiven.
But kudoās if you manage to pull this off, definetly requires a keen eye.
Killing Motor mama with Light the Fuse by tossing it at a slag barrel after she had gotten off her bike and chased me nearly to the exit- that was a hell of a fight! 
Itās how I roll for sure, and Iāll post some favorites here as they occur to me. As I think about one to start with, I have two viable, however thin, niches for using the Midnight Star grenade:
If you have access to a huge cliff and Rakk, you can throw it far enough that the return grenades will time out and explode before they get back to you. If you get the timing down, it turns into a delayed cluster bomb right over your head, and you just need to time the Rakk flight to catch them therein (but not hurt you).
The return grenades adjust their flight path based on where you are at the point where the MIRV initially splits. Get a feel for how far you can throw it, and how much time to death you have with those throws. With this in mind, toss the grenade, and run past an enemy such that youāre next to them at the point when the grenades calculate their return path. The grenades will aim for the enemyās location, and youāll be continuing on your way to safety. Hereās a video of this from my random series (Loaders are easiest for this, since they donāt move fast).
Why not? Itās got insane accuracy, hits very hard, and with Zer0, you get crosshairs while in Decepti0n. Add a Sure Shot class mod with points in Precisi0n and 0ptics if needed, and youāll be good to go.
If youāre having trouble with damage output with this method, get yourself an E-Tech slag dart, fire a few rounds at the target (make sure itās in your crosshairs so the darts pick up on it), and you should have plenty of time to go into Decepti0n before the darts stick and explode. If you do this right, the enemy wonāt become aggro, theyāre slagged, and youāre on your way to the end of the Decepti0n timer with 5 stacks of Kill C0nfirmed on deck.
Come see me after class. 
Iāll have to check this out. When you hit the first target, the shot should turn into seven, which then continue on their way. Are those seven subsequent shots at liberty to fire Close Enough and Nth Degree (or did the one round just pull that off)? If so, thereās an interesting niche for Gaige to use that gun at close range.
Note to self: if this works, it might provide the conditions to confirm or deny whether or not the Godfinger shots will combine their two hidden mechanics (extra pellets per air time, and/or seven pseudo-B0re pellets upon impact with a target). Now thereās a slim niche. 
O.O
And I thought I was smartā¦ Iāll just stick to drawing. Anyways I got another weird one today. I managed to get pyro pete stuck about 20 above the floor of the arena. I WAS attenpting to do the trick where he gets stuck (waa feeling lazy) and he kind of just got stuck. I thiught he was floating at firstā¦ which he kind of was but it was intersting none the less 
Details are vague, but it works best on enemies with overlapping hitboxes. Might be Nth Degree in its entirely because 7 pellets, maybe CE had a hand in it aswel.
Taking Raid Bosses out with White Gear (Melee Krieg vs Pyro Pete, Sniper Zer0 vs Dragons ā¦)
Thanks. I just did another such shot in Ore Chasm. Iām not sure how it compares to the Godfingerās optimal range because I havenāt used one in there, but here it is: From the usual hiding spot on the lava catwalks I killed an EXP Loader with a critical hit. The loader was hanging out at the spawn points right below Innuendobotās chamber. No Deception crosshairs were used, but to be honest seconds earlier I failed to crit an ION Loader at a similar distance, possibly due to visual pollution as it was hammering the wall in front of me with its rapid shock blasts.

[/quote]Thank you for that personal lesson. 
The next awesome moment Iād like to share also happened in Ore Chasm during the same session as the situation described above. TVHM probably made this easier, but ā¦ try executing three badass surveyors in a single Decepti0n. without catching them using a damaged target. I got lucky there, and I wasnāt even trying to do that, just panicking because several badass surveyors and their big shock blasts are dangerous when youāre without cover.
Noneā¦ like you say, the damage is there, but youāre only in trouble if you get in a situation where youāre so close that if the first round doesnāt work, they can get you before the second round is on deck, but I wouldnāt fault the weapon for that.
Thatās some serious Execution (Executi0n?), I consider myself lucky if I catch one. 
Nothing crazy but one-shotting Jack at Op8 with melee Zer0 is always a good feel.
Just something about that giant health and shield bar disappearing in one fell swoop 
Oh wow, what did you hit him with?
edit - fine, donāt tell us about it. 
On the subject of Buzzards, I generally have a favorite weapon or two for each allegiance character that I use for taking them out as follows. I do play rules where I limit myself to a certain range of weapons, so there may be more interesting ways to dispatch Buzzards if I let myself wander from this, but here we are. For todayās playthrough, I took each of these to Tundra Express, where I went to the Buzzard Academy for some target practice. All these characters are using a corrosive Bone of the Ancients relic (except Axton, whoās got an Explosive Damage relic).
Quite a few pieces of Jakobs gear can drop Buzzards if you hit them in their critical spots, but Iām always looking for an excuse to use the Stinkpot. While sheās rocking Cloud Kill, the only time it really cooks them is if I catch them stationary (which isnāt often). The Stinkpot can drop them without slag, but given their resistance to Phaselock, her only ability to heal during Buzzard combat like this is to Phaselock one immediately after a kill so Ruin feeds Life Tap (or if I grab a regular target at distance for sustained Elated). A slagged Buzzard drops in a few shots, and conveniently the cooldown from Ruining un-Phaselockable targets is very fast.Oh wow, what did you hit him with?
Just the standard combo.
Deception > kunai > shield strip > last second execute w/ rapier / hide of terra.
Canāt remember if he was even slagged. Zero single target damage OP.
Using Execute or a singularity grenade to throw Mad MIke into Satanās Suckhole.
Kiting the Duke of Orcs onto the tracks to grease him with the minecart.
One I really liked for smallish rooms full of baddies: Walk into room and Phaselock enemy nearest center of room with Converge in my spec, immediately throw a Bonus Pacakage at the ground by the Phaselocked target, exit the room and listen to the carnage. Re-enter the room and collect the loot.
Edit: Similar vein: As Krieg, killing most of the brooms during the TTAoDK quest given by Claptrap with Bloodsplosion.
First time I did that I couldnāt stop laughing - I think I fired one shot 
Yea thatās pretty much how it went for me, after I fired a few shots and realized what was happening I just stopped shooting and watched with a wide smile on my face, chuckling a bit.
I once got a quad headshot with a DPUH. All of them just died, and it was the BEST. I managed to replicate it (kinda) with my Maggie in TPS by getting a triple headshot, so yay
