Help on a sniper Zero bulid

[The Light From Ice, Icehart]

I just want to know what skills i should be leveling and weapons or tips

[pill cosby]

I use this build http://bl2skills.com/assassin.html#504331225150255105212350410000 Your main weapon would be a corrosive and fire Lyuda (Gettle in Dust, after mission The Good, the Bad, and the Mordecai is finished), a slag (preferably Banbury which is fire rate) Pimpernel for Slagging. A butcher is nice for second winds, you can get that from the final boss of Digi Peak. Shields I would use are the Antagonist (Tiny Tina DLC vendor). I would keep a Bone of the Ancients in all elements (Legendary Loot Midgets, farm Wildlife Preserve for best results) for the elemental boost and for the cooldown, more cooldown= more Deception, more deception= more kunai more kunai= more DPS, more Deception= more DPS with Ambush (multiplicative). I use a Legendary Hunter class mod because I think it gives the best benifit for my playstyle but other people like the Legendary Sniper, bothe are useful and can be farmed from Tubby enemies at level 61+. I like farming Spiderants behind Ellie's garage as I've had the best of luck there. For Crit Acension you want to keep a fast pace as to keep your stacks high. Look at Man of Low Moral Fiber on Youtube for more tips, he's an excellent Zer0 player, and Derch's guide on Pimpernels on Youtube as well.

Thank you on that, But why should i be using the Lyuda more then the pimpernel?

Lyudas are better overall for Zer0 because you can just get straight crits with them easier. Yes with the Pimpernel you can get crits but even if you get all the other bullets to hit you might not get a crit. Lyuda is more reliable then the Pimpernel for Critical Acension Builds. You can ignore the point in Critical Acension and make Follow Through 5/5. Also I forgot to mention you can use a Bee shield with the build.

I prefer the pimpernel for mobbing. It has ridiculous clear speed, but with the caveat that you need to offset your aim. With enough practice, you can figure out the sweet spot for every enemy and kill them in 2 - 3 shots without slag. Usually a single shot with slag.

This is the build I run using pimpernels:

http://bl2skills.com/assassin.html#505051045150455105015050500000

I don't grab execute because it is situational. There are very few instances in which it is actually useful, but even then it's unnecessary. I prefer to max f0ll0wthr0ugh for the speed and dps boost.
I don't grab ir0n hand because it is a useless skill in general. I adds a negligible amount of melee damage due to where it lies in the damage formula (it's also additive damage), and the extra health is a nuisance for health gate (remember that you are the squishiest character).

Tw0 fang is not your friend for critical ascension, even when using the lyuda. It's not good to take it as a sniper Zer0. It will usually cause you to miss upon proccing. Better to stick those two points in fearless.

Precisi0n is only marginally useful, even with a lyuda. It will make the 3-pellet split a bit tighter; however those points could be used elsewhere. You can also manage the split by finding hte lyuda's sweet spot and shoot from that distance.

I don't take vel0city because it messes with the pimpernel's spread. The more points you have in vel0city, the more you will have to offset your aim. However you can still take vel0city and adjust your aim accordingly (I simply don't like to, but you can give up kill c0nfirmed for it very easily). I also messes with the distance that the lyuda pellet splits into 3, so you will have to account for it when shooting (the idea is to get the bullet to just spread before hitting the critical hit spot)

If you want to use the lyuda this will serve you much better:

The lyuda is much more useful for critical ascension. The pimpernel is not good for critical ascension, but it's much powerful on its own and is better for ammo consumption.

I will almost always switch to lyudas anyways for raid bosses as it is usually the better option in that case. I just prefer the pimpernel for mobbing.

General tips: Always stay mobile, and use deception to exploit b0re, kunai, and ambush whenever possible. Aiming down you sights and triggering deception causes you to skip the animation and enter deception instantly (can save your life). Zer0 also throws his decoy at a 45 degree angle, so jump up to the side and turning enough before triggering deception will place the decoy directly behind you (can also save your life).

Sniper stockpile relic helps (I use this for mobbing, but will switch to a bone of the ancients during raid boss fights). I would also not recommend a bee shield for mobbing, but an antagonist instead.

Can't remember other stuff off the top of my head right now. Hope this helps.
