What is the easiest raid boss to defeat?

[BlasteR]

SO I've been going back fighting raid bosses and wondering what you guys think is the easiest. IMO pyro pete is the absolute easiest raid boss to kill.

The trick is to ammo up, remove your grenade mod, when pyro pete spawns you nade jump up to the right of where he spawns. There's a room up there you can get to and you stay in that room. Slag/electro combo works best and infinity pistol is helpful if ammo becomes an issue.

I use commando usually so as soon as he spawns I throw out turrets to keep him occupied while I nade jump up (just in case I need a couple tries to do it). It's basically just timing but you get the hang of it.

He will eventually jump up towards you in the shack over and over.

At some point he will either jump onto the shack or onto the railing. If he jumps on the railing, keep shooting and he will eventually walk up onto the top of the shack.

Sometimes, pretty rarely, he will jump up and get stuck somewhere else but doesn't happen much.

Once he is on top of the shack just keep shooting and remember to take cover if he is charging up his acid or fire attacks.

The only thing that really works well on pyro pete is electro, explosive/torgue, or non-elemental. But when pyro pete is right on top of the shack he is so close to you that rockets and torgue shotguns can damage you also - so electro or non-elemental guns work best for this.

It's not really a glitch but it's great for getting lots of eridium and other loot. Killing him can take a while but it's pretty easy once he's on top of the shack.

Best place for turrets is up on the ceiling above the shack where pyro pete can't get to them. Best nades against pyro pete are probably Tesla. Transfusion isn't needed since you can easily avoid his attacks - but if you do get hit you need to jump down, wash off with water and get back up to the shack.

He will sometimes jump down to follow you.

Anyone else have some raid boss tips to share?

I've heard Zero has a special ability that makes Hyperius the Invincible easy to kill.
Even with OP8 characters, playing OP0 raid boss can be difficult. It's all about strategy.

as a zerker hyperious is easiest with the pimpernel norfleet and the ammo boost mod (forget its name) might be true monk mod... but you say your a commando so your doing the right method of killing pete so he might be easiest for you.....if you have 2 turrets then the raid boss on hammerlocks dlc (forget its name) is do able with a commando just throw down a turret right in fron of it and right behind it, they ll trap it while the turrets are active..if you have a few team mates to help and dish out the damage u can take it down b4 your turrets die out

[CatPerson]

Depends on class and gear. But if we're talking cheese methods, rubi using zerker and that spot on the rock where it cant hit you 90% of the time makes Terra super easy/fast. That spot only helped my Siren tho...it didn't make it super easy or all that fast.

[rresuggan]

zerker with pimp +nukem/ahab glitch can kill every raid boss in seconds

Wilhelm. With the right weapons for example the Teapot, and a shock weapon and the right skill build as progressing in Normal and TVHM, should be very easy. Rocket Launcher too makes killing Wilhelm easy.

But Wilhelm isn't a Raid Boss. He just respawns as himself and that's it.

I think the easiest, when fighting as intended is Hyperius: The idea with Pete is to avoid getting the status effect (it can be removed, but at high difficulties you'll get overwhelmed). But in the arena there is only one area, where you can take cover from his novas.
While the idea for Gee is good, it simply doesn't work. Unless you hav a skill, that boosts movementspeed permanently (like axton + thief) you are simply to slow.
The Dragons are pretty straight forward, but the basilisks spawn to infrequently for how easily you can get oneshot, since again, basically no cover.
Hyperius on the other hand has only one problem: You are very likely to kill all his robots, before he reaches half health. Since his attacks a relatively slow and he moves predictably you only need patience and ammo.

The intended way ether pete, hyperious or theramorphous.

[Mister Torgue Flexington]

believe it or not, Master Gee is technically the easiest, and for 2 very good reasons......

1) if you're gonna fight him the regular way, i'd strongly recommend using the Flame-of-the-Firehawk shield (w/all Maliwan parts) and the Grog Nozzle to constantly keep your health up (as the novas will do that for as it constantly goes off), and you'll want a singularity grenade (best one is the Quasar w/"Sticky Longbow" prefix) to pull him into the areas where the Sand Grubs would pop out, so he can soak up the acid

(NOTE: Tedious as f*ck, yeah I know, I get it. But this is the best way to handle him, at least for me it is)

and 2) or you could just simply pull him over to his own gate with Singularity Grenades and crush him with it

No exploits Pete
With exploits Gee
About hyperious yes he's easy but requires more gear for a an efficent kill , pete can be killed with more accessible gear and i'm not talking about sal, i'm talking about all the other vault hunters. Krieg , maya are fine examples.

Well Krieg is not the finest example since all he needs to glitchless one shot Pyro Pete on UVHM is legendary sickle and preferably some slag. So it's one of the most easy ways to beat him. Not very simple, requires some skill and rng, but also not hard to pull off.

That's what i meant, krieg can kill pete with basically no gear compared to other vhs, same for maya . Legendary cat , sandhawk , bee and you are ready to go. You can't say the same for hyperius, cause without the norfleet it takes a noticeble amounth time to drop his shield.
And if you want to kill hyperius with gaige instantly without norfleet? Farm a hive...surely the easiest gun to obtain and farm in the game .
Edit : Basically any vault hunter can kill pete fast with very accessible gear. While you can't say the same thing for hyperius.

Can you teach me how to kill hyperius with gaige xD?

[Christ Goodbye]

To Robot.
That depends on your gear . The first video is the drunken hive, takes practice but it's extremely powerful. Basically you spam the menu for the drunken effect while you hold the grog, once you have max drunk effect you take the hive shoot , go to the inventory and swap it to a weapon and equip it again for insta reload and shoot and repeat ...

Or you can go for a more classic approach

The best weapon to kill hyperius for gaige after the Hive and norfleet is the fibber but...
You risk that the minions will reflect bullets to you and it's game over if it happens. so you basically want to take out the minions as fast as you can (he uses a norfleet but a pbfg or a topneea will do the work aswell) and in the phases where hyperius is vulnerable use the pimpernel to avoid being bullet reflected. Once the minions are down you can go crazy with the fibber.
Edit : Forgot to mention the most brain dead one
You can also shamfleet him, good luck obtaining the gear for that tho

thanks for the tips man

[Linukas164]

Side note: if doing a hive kill try getting one with no maliwan parts, since those increase rocket speed. Also it requires quite a bit of gear, but it's one of the easier ways. Fiber should also be super clean and easy, corrosive topnea/pbfg would be the best option to remove the shield
