Best way to kill Constructors in Ultimate vault hunter mode?

[Ryadge]

Playing as Zero, my same old ways of killing a Constructor isn't working in this difficulty!
I had over 20+ deaths trying to kill it before i finally just tried using Deception and melee attacking its eye then hide, and kept repeating until it blew up.

Is there a better way?

Rapid-fire corrosive weapon to the eye. Does decent damage and helps interfere with their constructing. Still have to watch out for nukes though.

this way

i find some cover and pull out my corrosive sandhawk and unload one mag at a time whilst moving back and forth between cover

what i like doing with the constructor before scorch at OP8 i shoot at it with either an interfacer or a pimpernel (both corrosive obviously) and finish it off with a killing blow. i play as melee zero, with a hide of terra or a thumoer from time to time. killing blow will not finish him off without a decent roid shield. when shooting the pimpernel try to aim as low as possible, while still aiming his crit spot. that will cause another 3-4 projectiles to score a crit. (with 0 velocity. if you have 5 or 11 velocity, you might wanna aim at the ground below the eye)
if you dont feel comfortable with any of those, you can always just rubi/grog stab the eye repeatedly. admitedly its a pretty reliable technique no matter how boring and unsatisfying it feels.

Corrosive Rightsizing B*tch / eye, bye bye constructor.

All these fellas are right. I especially like that corrosive beotch idear - she can tear it up FAST. I usually use that or a trusty corrosive Lyuda. I'm curious, though... what exactly ARE your "same old ways" that aren't working?

Slag and then shoot in the eye, a sniper rifle and magic missile work good with zero. Magic missile is homing allowing you to kill from afar!

U need to farm a bee first. then farm the hornet pistol from Knuckledragger. It is the best corrosive weapon againts those robots. make sure to zoom the hornet to unleash the swarm! btw, slag the robots first. have fun :D

Any clues on whereabouts of these slaggable constructors ?

Has to be an ultra rare specimen as I am yet to stumble upon it.

b*tch with a bee from a distance takes them out quite fast.

There's no need for legendaries, I'm sure if you had all the great weapons listed above, you wouldn't be asking for advice. All you need are a couple of accurate weapons like a good corrosive SMG and corrosive sniper with decent rate of fire.

Find cover, do not go in close. Now you can play peek-a-boo with the constructor by coming out of hiding and firing a few rounds then go into cover again before the return fire hits you. The cover should protect you from the homing rockets, make sure it's high enough. Shoot down any nukes that are launched.

Another tip is to use cover so that you have a part of the constructor in your line of sight but the constructor cannot hit you. Just keep on firing at that tiny exposed part of the constructor. There is no need to hit the eye. People do this because it's faster, but you probably just want to kill it. Being super aggressive without super weapons and gear is a sure way to get killed. I can't emphasize enough the importance of getting a good distance away, the longer your range, the more time you have to react to the slow return fire coming your way.

everything gets slagged. might not turn purple but slag still works

Do you have any proof or credible source to backup that statement ?

This is complete BS. Constructors are 100% IMMUNE to Slag, period, just as they are immune to any and all forms of DoT. Crystalisks are also immune to Slag and every other element. If its not painted purple, its not Slagged. Period. It doesn't work on Constructors, it didn't at launch and it doesn't now. Honestly, UVHM Constructors are some of the most overpowered pieces of ♥♥♥♥ I've ever seen. They take assloads of damage to put down and their attacks are nearly undodgable, and if you get caught in a bad patch of cover, you're virtually stuck there. I tried to fight the Super Badass Constructor 3.0 on the way to the BNK-3R and got trapped underneathe the ledge it sits on and it pretty much just released a never ending barrage of rockets that weren't damaging me where I was, but effectively trapped me there. I tried to get out so I could deal damage and died INSTANTLY. And yes I know "its not technically instant death because FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE LOL" But no, in UVHM, Fight For Your Life is nothing but a placebo because barely anything is weak enough to be killed from it, much less a Super Badass Constructor.

In short, you have no idea what you're talking about and I am venting because Constructors in UVHM are absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I literally have less trouble with WITCH DOCTORS than I do Constructors.
