Holy Crap, How to beat UVHM Deadlift?

[Osamaru]

Ok, I get it, Deadlift is a Shield Tank, but my god man, I should not have to Empty and entire pool of Ammo, even using a lvl 50 Shock weapon, only to have him have drop only half his shield. AM ireally gonna hve to go back to the Grinder and hope I get a Piercing Rounds Weapon just to beat Deadlift?

Basically Deadlift is a broken OP enemy in any playthrough, really can't beat him in solo unless you're way higher than him.

Ya, only reason I beat him in TVHM was because I brought in a Percing Rounds Fatale, but that blasted thing is gonna take forever to grind out again.

Use a shock sniper. Vladof is best but Maliwan is good too. 120% crit bonus is ideal. Once his OP shield is down he can be killed much easier (depending on your character & build). Use transfusion grenades if you need extra health regen & try hiding in the doorway on the right, just as you walk into the 'arena'. Let him come to you.

Bosun can be a PITA too.

Just said I am using a Shock SMG, Purple level 51 even.

shock weapon and don't go in after him, make him come to you

This,and i go straight to top level exit and work on him from there.you can duck back around the corner to recover shield/health/skill.

Solo UVHM Deadlift at level 60 is a serious pain.

Stay in cover, and when he goes for one of the shock-floor generators by the stairs, try to rush to within melee range of him and circle strafe to stay behind him. His AI seems to get stuck trying to turn around to punch you.

Broken boss deserves to get his AI exploited.

Shock Rosie or Vibro (after TVH finished, back door will give L50 one). Cover till he starts to knock fuse box (or whatever how its called - thingy that charges platform) and pour all mag in his backpack - criticall spot. If needed, scavs around may provide kill skills if build is made around those.
Same goes for UVH60. Continuous laser to his criticall spot while he's tampering machines..

i call bull|shiz on this he is easy to beat did it with frag-trap he was 52 i was 50 easy as hell

For frontal assault he is broken for all but Athena with her Aspis imunity. But his weak-spot gimmik is rather simple.

Shock resistant Shield/Oz kit, cryo weapon/homing grenade and/or shock weapon/homing grenade.
Vibro and shock kiss are easiest to get.

I did it the cheesy way... when u enter the room go to the left near the jumppad (on ground lvl) there's a round thingy you can hide behide when your shields are low. I just stood there and snipe him untill he died

[byq.]

It's all about the build u have. With Nisha it's pretty easy, just spec down the middle tree and get a decent class mod and ur good to go. My friend also struggled with his cl4p trap so he found an explosive build. u just have to do a little farming on tvhm for better weapons.

Atleast his shields dont regen if you dont die, i soloed him in TVHM with baron and hid in the bottom right alcove doorway jut to the right as you enter and just thru special skill at him till his shilds down then rocked him with 600 dmg fire sniper, once the shield down hes easy silly OP shield tho.

Make your game public, then after the fight kick the person and make it private. I could never beat Deadlift alone on any playthrough...

Yeah, he is tough, but doable.

Get a shock immunity shield and really good shock weapon and grenades. You can farm VMs for these ... or I just keep them on my other chars for use with later chars.

Then occasionally (or a lot) you will just get a bad run against him and all the scavs that spawn. Can't do much about those, just start again.

You can hide under the stairs or chase him down. I like to chase him and butt slam him, but have used the stairs when I couldn't find him initially to start the chase.
