Co-op Build
How to Build Gaige in Borderlands 2
So you want to play with your friends? Well then you’ll want to be focused on dishing out as much damage as possible, won’t you? To do that, it’s time to take Deathtrap back into the workshop and give him as many delightfully brutal ways to bring the pain as possible.
Each of the trees in Borderlands 2 for Gaige houses a bonus for Deathtrap’s killing power after 5 points have been spent, with Little Big Trouble and Best Friends Forever having one available at 15 points. That’s one of the most important parts of this build. You’ve got to be strong, while Deathtrap can kill on your behalf when you’re out of range.
That means you’ll have to deal with that wonderful little Anarchy skill again. It’s not the end of the world though because Anarchy and Discord work astoundingly well when put alongside much of the Little Big Trouble tree.
Their greatest asset in fact is the Shock and “AAAGGGGHHH!” skill. Whenever you reload a huge electrical storm will roll around you. Now with plenty of Anarchy stacks you don’t want to reload, so it doesn’t sound that great but bear with me on this.
Whenever your magazine gets a little low you’ll just be setting off a free explosion. A nice benefit by all accounts. If you’re in trouble however, then Discord works well with Shock and “AAAGGGGHHH!” to give you a rewarding boost at the point of pain.
Throwing out a Discord reload when you’re low on health after moving in closer to whatever is killing you means that you’ll heal yourself while dealing loads of damage to whatever is nearby.
If you’re using this build, try to prioritize Shock weapons as Little Big Trouble is immensely helped by these. Also keep Deathtrap in view so you can shoot him to grant the robotic badass a little helping hand.
Don’t forget that these builds aren’t set in stone. Your build may suit you better. If you’ve got one you use, share it with us in the comments below.
