hehe,, Odly enough, I built my zero for melee... which is rare for me, I'm always the sniper. I guess I still use him as a mid-range sniper, I always end up scoring 90% of my kills with a sniper rifle, or precision Jacobs revolver shots. nothing super long range... usually kill 40% at long range with a sniper, then kill another 40% at medium/short range with a pistol... and finish the final 20% at melee.... somethings its 100% melee though :) .... the law and order shield combo has saved my ass so many times....

Yep. Every once in a while I respec to melee build (on your recommendation IIRC.) With the Law and that +200% melee rifle from Scarlett, you can do some serious damage.

But I came across a corrosion sniper rifle (Dandy Pimpernel I think?) That, at point of impact, splits off 6 more rounds. The thing is unreal. Between that and a 27k base railgun and a couple other orange goodies, it's just insane.

Plus I'd always run in to the problem during a melee frenzy where I'd hit something and it wouldn't die. Then I'd come out of stealth with a Wile E. Coyote "uh oh" and get squashed.

:r :r

yeah, I've had those moments. Although that's where the Law consistently saved my bacon. Just start swinging away till everyone died, or stealth recharged. Almost always lived through it. I discovered that hitting them in the rear while stealthed was critical to getting the one-hit kill. Also waiting until the last 1/2 second of stealth also built up the damage enough to almost always one-hit kill them. but a quick frontal attack failed more often then not.

My biggest problem with the sniper build is that I "usually" killed folks just fine while sniping with a regular build... but with a sniper build, I had that Wile E. Coyote "uh oh" moment *EVERY* time I tried to not snipe them, and habits are a bit*h, I kept trying... and trying... and trying... :tg

See that never bothered me much. Things get too close, whip out a big ol Tediore shotgun, fire it once, then throw it at them for massive damage. Rinse. Repeat.

I really miss the old Mordecai pistol build with the recharging ammo and a Jakobs revolver.

Played a whole bunch with my Zer0 character when BL2 was first released. Recently started a new game with a Berserker - honestly I'm having way more fun with him than Zer0. Still haven't played any of the DLC's, but I'm going to hit the pirate one as soon as I'm 30.

I've been playing this for about 2 months or so (maybe a little longer) with a commando. Fun game! I'm not quite at level 30 with him yet. I love all the side missions you can go on, and the multi-player options.
