Build Guide: Nisha - Deadly Gunslinger [OUTDATED]

So it's basicly a guide for pistol-zerking Nisha. You want to focus on:

• Showdown skill
  
• Gun Damage
  
• Fire Rate
  
• Reload Speed
  
• Critical Hit Damage

To make Nisha unbelievably overpowered you should go in two skill trees: Fan the Hammer[/u] and The Riflewoman[/u].

Skill Tree

So that's the tree you want to focus on:

And that's the optional tree for using mostly non-elemental (even explosive) weapons:

Weapons

1. First weapon you need is the strongest one and you're going to love it, believe me. The weapon's name is Maggie.
It can be obtained through any suitable loot source (including vending machines and slot machines)
That weapon manufactured by Jakobs is really powerful on Nisha. It's more powerful than any other revolver in the game, it has (lv 50) 1402x6 damage per 1 shot. It consumes only 1 ammo from the magazine size, that means you can take all 8 shots before you're going to reload. You can also try to farm it with Two Fer prefix with x10 damage instead of x6 but it consumes 2 ammo per shot, which means you can shoot it only 7 times instead of 14.

2.Second weapon is Ol' Rosie
It can be obtained by completing a mission The Beginning of the End in True Vault Hunter Mode only.
This weapon was proposed by user - Schno
I've seen pretty much a lot of people using this Laser Gun. The thing makes this weapon overpowered is very high continous damage bonus, it means when you keep shooting(?) an enemy, the damage you're dealing is increasing. It spawns in Fire, Cryo, Corrosive and Shock element, which I prefer farming the Shock or Fire one. It's really good in combination with 3DD1.E Oz Kit.

3.Third weapon you want to use is important. It's called Miss Moxxi's Probe.
It can be obtained by starting a mission Torgue-O! Torgue-O! (If you want to keep it, don't complete that mission)
This Maliwan pistol heals you by shooting enemies. Heals as many HP as the damage you dealt to them. It has 406 damage though but it still heals you very nice. Probe is always elemetnal becasue of it's manufacturer and it appears as Fire, Shock, Corrosive or Cryo element. I prefer farming Cryo or Fire one.

4. Fourth weapon is really important.
I'd like to use any high fire rate Hyperion Pistols with Vladof barrel and Hyperion accuracy so I can quickly headshot everyone with that awesome 15-25 bullets in magazine. When you're shooting with both of these and with Quick Shot skill, you just shoot insanely fast and you eat ammo like crazy bas*ard who forget how to save it.

Shields

1.Kala
It can be obtained through any suitable loot source (including vending machines and slot machines)
I like using this shield because of the Bullet Absoprtion. When someone is shooting you with pistols you don't need to worry about loosing ammo so much. If you know that shield, then you should know it's not only because of bullet absoprtion but of Electrocute Resistance. When you get shocked this shield will not only protect you, but regenerate itself by getting shocked.

There's another thing about the Vladof shields. I've heard someone had a chance to find The Sham in vending machine but I'm not really sure. I've tried to search for it but I weren't that lucky. When you check The Sham on borderlands wikia you can see it appears in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! as well.

Class mods

For now I have only 2 class mods that are good for Nisha.

1.Celestial Lawbringer
It can be obtained by farming The Invincible Empyrean Sentinel (TVHM mode only)
Alright, so about this class mod - IT'S TOTALLY OVERPOWERED. Let me explain. This class mod appears to be glitched, because It's not giving +5 to skills but ADDS 5 POINTS FOR EACH OF POINT ALREADY INVESTED - SAY FREAKIN' WHAAAAAT!? So basically it looks like that:

Skills	Atributes
Law 4 Points	Shield Capacity: +120%	Melee Damage: +120%
Wanted 5 Points	Damage Level 30
Ruthless 5 Points	Showdown Duration: +3.0 sceond per kill
Bottled Courage 5 Points	Showdown restores 300% of Shields	Shield Recharge Rate: +210%	Shield Recharge Delay: -210%
Bona Fide Grit 5 Points	Regenerates +12.0% of your Max Health per second	Critical Hit Damage +210%
Quick Shot 5 Points	Gun Damage: +180%	Fire Rate: +210%

And one more thing. I would be glad if someone could inform me when it's patched.

2.Desperado
It's increasing pistol gun damage which is amazing for Nisha. It increases cooldown rate so you can faster use your skill. Why desperado? It adds few skill points (depending on level) to:

• High Noon which increases Gun DPS during showdown.
  
• Bottled Courage which can instantly restore up to 100% shield when you use showdown skill.
  
• Ruthless skill which can give you up to 1 second more duration of skill when you kill an enemy.

Oz Kits

1.Support Relay
It can be obtained by completing a mission To Arms!
This Oz kit gives you +0.16% Gun Damage per O₂. Full O₂ capacity is 168 and that means if you multiply 0.16% by 168 this will give you +26,88% Gun Damage at full capacity. It also appears in 4 elements - Fire, Corrosive, Shock, Cryo and Explosive. And about the mission - it's real pain to do it but worth it!

Optional Build - Weapons

1.Zim
It can be obtained by farming Giant Shuggurath of Ice in Triton Flats during mission Bunch of Ice Holes.
This weapon was proposed by user - High Velocity Dildo Dispenser.
This weapon might be pretty nice for Nisha since it has 141 bullets in magazine o.O. This pistol spawns only in Cryo element. Why is it so good I wanted to put it in the guide? Simple - Since you have got "One for Each of Ya" skill and "Quick Shot" skill you can shoot like crazy for first 60 bullets and that's why it is optional.

2.Double Penetrating 88 Fragnum
It can be obtained through any suitable loot source (including vending machines and slot machines)
It looks like harold though but It's shooting diffrent from Borderlands 2.
As it says, it consumes 6 ammo per shot. Reload speed isn't really good, because as we know from Borderlands 2, DP Harold was reloading much faster. Now it doesn't shoot bazilion of bulllets at once, but only that 8 bullets as it says next to the damage. It's still pretty much overpowered because it has +25% Critical Hit Damage which is really good for Nisha.

Optional Build - Oz Kits

1.3DD1.E
It can be obtained by farming a CL4P-L3K during mission Eradicate!
This Oz kit increases your Shield Capacity, Laser Damage and Air Control (which isn't really important).
There's a small chance that after killing an enemy, that enemy will drop some health vials or shield boosters or some ammo. When you pick them up they're regenerating health/shield really quick. When you're taking damage, there's a little chance to release an electric beam that shocks nearby enemies.

Killing Bosses

Lv 50 Nisha Solo The Invincible Empyrean Sentinel [TVHM]

The End

So that was my guide to Nisha the Lawbringer as Deadly Gunslinger. You're probably wondering where are grenade mods. For me it doesn't really matter. I hope you're going to use it guys!
And remember to hit button if you liked it and add this to so we can put this guide on the top rated guides list!

[buysnoah]

So is there a better replacement for the Probe since it got nerfed and now its only 2% heal.

[Zen_Disaster]

Thanks for the guide Czarpos - I enjoyed it! Somethings have changed since you wrote it & I'd be happy to update it with you if you'd like - am a contributor to the Wiki etc. Like mode levels - now you can start Nisha's TVMH at lvl 30 and UVHM at lvl 45. I'd also add at least a small section on grenade mods - throughout the series & in TPS though they've never been as important for me as they've been for my friends, still I respect some mods like Quasar cos it's hard to deny they're game-changers - for me there were only 4 or 5 such grenade mods in TPS (but I agree with you about most grenade mods being almost useless). There are 2 or 3 page links I'd include to some top sites for the TPS player. Cheers!

[zamarxs]

Aww okay, thanks though for the explanation!

[Czarpos]

@zamzam
I'm done playing this game and I would have to play it all over again to correct the gude. Sorry but I'm not doing it anywhere soon :/

[zamarxs]

Can you update the guide?

[Girl Marth (◕‿◕✿)]

I think they've fixed the Celestial Lawbringer class mod.

[American]

Something you should check out, if you havn't yet, is the E-Gun. I've only played thru the game once as the lawbringer and solo'd the Invicible Sentinal with nothing but that. Dunno if the TVH mode version is worse off or what, but I've had a blast kicking ass with it.

[Czarpos]

@Sublime
When you beat the game once, you can start over in True Vault Hunter Mode restarting all missions and beginning with lv 35. After beating TVHM you can start Ultra Vault Hunter Mode at probably level 50 and enemies will get much stronger than before as well as weapons you get from missions (this also applies to TVHM)

[Sublime]

Late to play the game and I'm just wondering why your guns are so much higher in damage than my own. Main example being the miss moxie probe, yours is at 404 mine is at 6. just curious as to how the gun gets stronger or if I just have yet to find a better version of the gun?

[PeGeY]

@simfanak its fairly easy if u use the shadowtrap legendary farming where u infinitle get garanteed legendaries or u could concordia vending machine farm as well
