No access to
Dead Ringer but the points in
Mourning blend really well with more points of
Grave Thirst on your
Teen Witch.
Phase Phamiliar is HERE with access to
Unsealed you can have your Feline companion provide aggro relief and 50% gun damage vs marked targets. You lose out of the reloads of
Witchy Trigger Finger but this does exist a chill alternative. I like playing with this Action Skill the most.









Weapons:
Prioitise weapons with high pellets per second output in order to maximise
Mortal Terror consistency and kill skill stacks.
Crow-Sourced - Best all round. Aboslute beast of a weapon. Use with
Active Fire 3 for best results.
Convergence - Easy access start bossing weapon. Not as good as the above but high tier base game option to get the farm machine rolling.
Lockjaw - Peak mobbing for high density areas, such as the Takedown or CoS. Drops off in lower density content.
Cormano - Best Vault Card weapon for easy access. Great to get going with.
Triplicate - All rounder easy mode for mobbing, bossing, viles, and everything in between. The everything gun.
Darkbeast - New S tier weapon for both mobbing, viles, and Bossing. Jakobs for Mobbing. Ripper for Bossing Daedalus Shotgun will provide the most damage if you can kill the boss before running out of bullets.
Wombo Combo- Destroys Vile enemies.
Ohm I Got- Teen Witch lets us maintain it at full strength. One of the fastest mobbing weapons.
Hellwalker - Just abit of a beast.
Complex Root - Roll with Atlas Tracking and Jakobs Ricochet for one of the best bossing weapons in the game.
Weapon choice for this build is very versitile, if it's good, it's good here. Refer to my tier list for the general placement of weapons within the game's meta: https://mobalytics.gg/borderlands-4/tier-lists/meta-weapons-borderlands-4-tier-list
Seriously, the usable weapons list for this build goes far. All the way down to about
Vamoose, that is where I'd say you'll start pushing it.
Rep Kit:
You rep kit will want to be spammable for fire rate uptime and movement speed. Accelerator passive is comfy.
War Paint - Thanks to
Guns and Needles we can maintain 100% uptime on this Repkit, making it best in slot for general play.
Triple Bypass paired with
Now With Caffeine can be used to immediately recover your actionskill, allowing for alternative passives such as: Engrage, splash damage, go go gadget etc.
Classmod:
Teen Witch- Legendary option, use with an amp shield to maintain Amp shots.
Prioritise as many points
Grave Thirst as you can.
Shield:
Any AMP shield. Up to 150%. Even Purple shield is good.
Watts 4 Dinner - Rolls AMP, and gives an extra 25% bonus element for damage and
Mortal Terror procs.
Cindershelly - Easiest shield to get 150% amp on.
Firewerks - No AMP so less damage, but funny missiles.
Ordnance:
Jakobs throwing knife- More crits, faster kill skill stacking.
Draupner - Best bossing DPS option in the game. Use with
Witchy Trigger Finger.
Slippy with the
CQC Specialisation for peak DPS.
Torgue Heavy Weapon. Heavy Ordnances paired with
High Caliber Tier 3 and sustained
Witchy Trigger Finger can be some of Vex's Highest Boss DPS vs non flying enemies. Jump up and shoot through the enemy to hit the floor behind them.
Enhancement:
In general pair with your primary weapons. 'Gun Damage' is the best passive stat.
Jakobs Enhancement With stacking damage on crit, or extra ricochet.
Vladof Enhancement of course. Either Gain 30% chance to fire an extra projectie or Gain 20% fire rate and 20% mag size. Or both if you get a lucky legendary!
Ripper Enhancement with Gaining gun damage everyshot.
Firmwares:
High Caliber 2
Deadeye 2
Bullets to Spare 1 /
Heating Up 1 / Deadeye or High Cal Tier 3.
If using Atlas parted weapons use
Atlas Infinum.
Active Fire where applicable.
Other great options include:
The Best Defense
Groundbreaker
CQC
Pop incarnate, use your rep kit and spam as many bullets as you can! Use Eldritch Blast to refill your mag so you never reload with
Witchy Trigger Finger. Once Incarnate ends again use your repkit off cooldown to maximise the cooldown rate uptime.
The listed action skill is
Incarnate. This gives access for
Whitchy Trigger Finger for more gun damage and free gun reloads, and access to the capstone skill
Vibe Check. It massively improves our DPS especially vs bosses. It can also restock ordnance weapons on the fly too!
Leveling
Leveling is pretty simple, you can choose your skills in any order, though starting with Blue tree and
Idle Hands is a great place to start.
Then start on Green Tree and get
Witchy Trigger Finger. Non-unique Vladof SMGs will be your bread and butter. Jakobs weapons will also serve too.
