Build Overview

Unfortunately, in it's current state, Zero-Point Harlowe is extremely underwhelming, ESPECIALLY IN UVHM5. Because of this, this build is more for fun then actual high level content. Even though we will not be erasing enemy's at UHVM5, that does not mean that this build is not good at all. Mobbing will always feel very nice on this build and will be it's main purpose.

Strengths And Weaknesses

  • Excels at Mobbing
  • High Cryo Damage
  • Bonus Radiation Damage
  • Not good at Bossing

The gameplay loop of this build is to have Zero-Point being up as much as possible, doing a boatload of Cryo damage while guiding your bubble to groups of enemies.

- This build isn't "optimal" for single target bossing but is well capable with the amount of gun damage buffs from skills like Creative Overflow, Neutron Decay and Parallel Circuit.

- Why is gun damage important? Well the Specialization skill I Am A Gun gives our Action Skill 50% of all our Gun Damage bonuses. Which synergizes very well with another Specialization Riddle You This (Faster fire rate guns will stack it quicker)

- Survival skills Keep Ice On That, Mains Hum

- Skill NotesInertia is vital in keeping your action skill going even after a kill, when done correctly you can chain your bubble forever. Cold Plunge is AMAZING for grouping and gives us a Cryo nova every time we slam so we can proc a lot of useful skills like Triple Point, Flash Freeze and Keep Ice On That.

Equipment

Weapons
Repkit & Ordnance
Utilities

Weapons:

Plasma Coil is decent for mobbing and always rolls Shock & Radiation

Hot Slugger good to synergize with Stun Lock for free Statis affects

Anarchy with Cryo & Radiation AND a Jakobs crit part = GOD ROLL

    • Combo this with a Jakobs Bounce Pass Enhancement = **CHEF'S KISS**

Wombo Combo preferably in Cryo but Radation can be useful too

Gear:

Jelly we want a Cryo and Radiation one of these with a Nuke attachment

Triple Bypass + Now With Caffeine for Zero-Point spam

    • War Paint works well here too but will not take full advantage of Now With Caffeine

Super Soldier for the ammo regen (our shields will always be full)

Skeptic with +1 point in Stun Lock

Enhancement:

**We are either looking for a Maliwan Toile with Transfuser and Mixologist or a Jakobs Bounce Pass for the extra ricochet on crits with the Hot Slugger which will proc Stun Lock more often**

**There are currently no Firmware options that directly buff this build so we will be opting for the strongest general buffs Firmware can provide**

2/3 High Caliber for the Gun damage as well as buff the projectile speed of our Plasma Coil

3/3 Deadeye for the extra Critical damage (while crits are not required for this build, they are always encouraged)

**Keep an eye out in future updates, Dev's have said that in future expansions new Firmware will be added, those might transform this build**

Specialization

Specialization 1Now With Caffeine
Specialization 2A Honed Mind
Specialization 3I Am A Gun
Specialization 4The Best Defense

Now With Caffeine + Triple Bypass to spam Action Skill

I Am A Gun and A Honed Mind to buff Zero-Point damage

Option 4:

The Best Defense for a flat 30% damage boost since our health will always be full

Riddle You This can stack up to +50% damage boost, but it needs to be maintained
