Best UVHM Zer0 pure gun build?

[Airu]

This is what i've come up with so far: http://bl2skills.com/assassin.html#505001500050555135515050510000

1. Any weapons, other than Twister, that you can recommend?

2. Which shield, grenade mod, relic and class mod are the best for such a build? Im planning to use:

Shield: Antagonist

Grenade Mod: Longbow Slag Transfusion

Relic(s): Bone of the Ancients

Class Mod: Legendary Killer

I don't play Zer0 much myself, but as far as I know, the strongest melee weapon in the game is Captain Blade's Rapier: http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Rapier

If you want a gun that synergizes with Zero's skills and is specifically not a sniper rifle you may want to try the Infinity. Put as many points as possible in 0ne Sh0t 0ne Kill. The bonus damage applies to every shot, and his bonuses to accuracy can help tighten the otherwise obnoxious spread.

Other than that, shotguns with lots of pellets for more B0re procs.

I tried out Twister and it is absolutely incredible with B0re, wrecks everything in seconds even in UVHM

Should i change anything about the build i linked / items im planning on using?

Antagonist is bad for melee build (even the occasional melee) due to self slag. Learned that the hard way

[Airu]

I think i'll go for a pure gun build afterall, melee is seriously lackluster in comparison to what the Twister is capable of. Updating the first post to match that

i wouldnt skill into unforseen. its really weak and not that common that your decoy is near enemies

Couldn't think of anything else to put the points into, i was starting to run out of worthwhile skills to get. What should i put them into instead? Ir0n Hand for bit of extra health and kunai dmg?

iron hand or even one shot one kill

Should i use Evolution, Antagonist or some other shield entirely? Shields (shield points, not the actual shields themselves) don't seem to do much in UVHM and elemental dmg is a constant issue so i'd say Evolution, but im not sure

It doesn't help that Antagonist seems to slag me more often than it does the enemies

Should i move the points from Ambush to Precisi0n? Precisi0n might improve the Twisters dmg output since the shots propably won't spread out as much

I am not primarily a Zer0 player, but here's what I found effective through OP4:

Re the first, for an AR, Bekah in the first instance, or Hammer Buster if you can't get one, or purple Gatling Gun if you can't get Hammer Buster.

For SMG, B!tch is great.

For pistols, Harold or Maggie, and Grog Nozzle for healing.

For Sniper, you have a lot of choices, including Skullmasher; (preferably purple) Diaub, Muckamuck, Snider, or Droog; or Lyuda. Things like Sloth and Pitchfork are good but are more geared to sniper Zer0.

Lots of good shotty choices, almost anything with 4 barrels of blue rarity or higher is viable (e.g. Ravagers, Quads). Some mission rewards like Swordsplosion and Octo are great.

For launchers, Topneea or if you can get it, Norfleet.

To answer your second question in part, Love Thumper is good for solo play _only_ if you intend to use Law/Rapier or other bladed weapons for frequent melee too. If you're not going to be meleeing much -- and you should be even with a gun build -- a purple fire- or corrosive-resistant turtle shield with fast recharge time/rate works.

For nades, a good singularity (Quasar is ideal) is great for setting up B0re, but a purple sticky longbow slag transfusion with a short fuse time is also great for combining healing and slagging. The you might want a Tina nade for replenishing, plus Chain Lightning and Magic Missile are both very useful in themselves for stripping shields/instahealing and slagging, respectively.

For relics, a purple stockpile or an Etech relic (e.g. Bone of the Ancients) are good, but if your build is heavy on pistols, a Sheriff's Badge with a Stalker com works. Shadow of the Seraphs is useful too, it increases Tw0 Fang to the point where it's almost guaranteed to proc on slower weapons.

If you're not going to be mainly using pistols, you might want to roll with a Rogue, Legendary Killer, or Legendary Sniper com (which because of a bug boosts stats for all weapons, not just snipers). Blue Professional and Killer coms can also be very useful, and are easily overlooked and underrated.
