Tediore Primo Rafa 2.0 | LVL 60 and UVH6 Ready | BEST All Purpose Tediore Build

Legendary Weapons

• For all guns listed, please assume you will want Shooting reload since those reload impacts will benefit 3x as much from Gun Damage. This also applies to Shooting Replicator but those are more rare to farm and I also personally do not like Replicator on my primary bossing tools.
• *As of the November 21st patch, Multi-pellet Tediore reloads do not get their full pellet count accounted for towards their reload damage. Obviously, this results in their damage being drastically lower than it should be. Certain weapons will be listed for prosperity's sake but please keep this in mind.

Bossing Guns

• Laser Disker from the Storm Demon DLC is the hands down best option for Tediore chucking at the moment. It always rolls an element which makes farming for it easier as well as making element matching for bossing more accessible.
• • Mag Size goes up to 42 but the card damage ranges from the low-to-high 6000's. You do not need a perfect roll to destroy bosses outside unless you're going for True mode showing-off.
  • The Legendary effect does apply to the reloads. Its is its own multiplier outside of everything else, but is only 2x instead of the listed 200%/3x. Nice cherry on top but this does allow you to use Homing reloads to more easily farm lesser bosses such as Bramblesong and Skyspanner Kratch.
• The Below Options gain more value comparatively against grounded bosses when the Laser-Disker's Legendary effect will not come into effect.
• Inscriber from the Mercenary Day Bounty Bounty Pack is a suitable alternative for those who do not have any of the Paid DLC's.
• • Mag sizes go up to the 30's if you get lucky with the part rolls.
  • I do also like Inscriber as a mobbing option against badasses and lesser bosses.
• Eigenburst* is also a great alternative assuming you can get your hands one with good parts. The card damage and mag size are very strong compared to other Tediore shotguns.
• • The legendary effect does not really benefit us here but it's bonus is additive with on-hit bonuses anyway so haha.
• Anarchy* is a niche option for gimmicky, yet fun bossing one-shots.
• • You can easily stack to 20 by shooting the gun until it's empty and then spamming your melee to interrupt the reload animation over and over.
  • You will lose all your stacks when you manually reload so you better make it count or prepare back-up weapons in your other 3 slots.
• T.K's Wave* is a surprisingly effective option for Tediore chucking presuming you can get the right parts on it. It has one of the highest card damages in the whole game when you take into account all of its pellets.
• • This can be hard to farm for considering we're gambling on licensed parts on licensed parts, but a Torgue Mag boosts the mag size up to 12. An Atlas-tracking underbarrel also allows the shot bullets to home in and attack the boss for extra chunks of damage. Have fun trying to get one of those without a Save Editor.
• Husky Friend* or a Purple EZ-Blast* Shotgun is a trustworthy option available as well if you do not have any of the above options. Murmur also technically exists but it's currently difficult/impossible to farm for, plus it gets outclassed by the Laser-Disker unless you get super lucky with the parts.

Mobbing Guns

• Chuck is the fan favorite-option for ammo efficient mobbing.
• • While I personally prefer standard lobbed or replicator reloads due to the increased damage, Homing and Homing Replicator reloads work perfectly fine for mobbing. I personally prefer Ruby's Grasp if I'm ever relying on a Homing reload.
• Ruby's Grasp is my other go-to for mobbing due to the ability to apply many instances of damage across multiple enemies.
• • Instead of the usual max-mag part rolls, it could be favorable to look into options with higher card damage and lower mag size for better ammo efficiency, especially in extended mobbing encounters.
• Mercurious , Birt's Bees, or any other Vladof SMG fills a great role of providing another ammo pool to pull from incase you ever run out of Pistol or AR ammo.
• • The Mercurious's legendary effect sadly does not apply to the reloads but the base stats of the gun are still good enough to be considered worth using.

Class Mods

• Grenazerker was basically designed for this build and it's hybrid playstyle. Doubling our grenade throws and adding an extra Tediore chuck to every reload provides insane value. The skills are also icing on top.
• • +3 Sinergia is the best skill roll you can have this COM. The second best roll to have is Confeti to add an extra instance of damage alongside your Grenades and Gorgon. This bonus element inherits the source damage its applied to which allows them to scale more effectively.
  • For the other Passive slot, Assault Rifle/Shotgun/Pistol Damage, Ordnance Damage, and Splash Damage are all nice to have.
• Dancer can also be a strong option to have given the right boss fight. Ideally you would need one that spawns ads quickly enough to proc Soltado.
• • The legendary effect makes our Jaque stacks twice as effective, further boosted by a Soltado skill roll. Temerario would be the primary skill roll to aim for provided you activate Lance early enough to get it stacking before attacking a boss.
  • For the other Passive Slot, Gun Damage, Assault Rifle/Shotgun/Pistol Damage, Ordnance Damage, and Splash Damage are all nice to have.

Grenade/Ordnance

Since PROJECT: Gorgon will give us maxed out Sinergia quickly, our Grenade slot becomes open to options that don't just stack Sinergia as well as possible. Since it's ultimately personal preference, I will list some options that I like using.

• Countermeasure is one of the best grenades for quickly stacking up Riddle You This as the Flares/Rockets shot out count as Gun Damage. Throw a few of these under a boss's tummy and get maxed-out Riddle You This before even throwing your first gun. It also deals good damage on its own given how much Gun Damage we will usually have.
• • Best roll for this is Divider/Repeater augment due to getting an extra set of flares and rockets.
• Chaumurky is a safe option for mobbing due to its longevity, decent damage, and minimal splash radius. Annoying part is just the long cooldown and single charge but this hybrid playstyle minimizes that issue.
• • It doesn't get many augments so just go for the damage one.
• Tediore Satchel Charge are my personal favorite non-legendaries to use. The ones I enjoy the most are ones with Nuke, Lingering (in all elements but Radiation), and Fracturing. Outstanding detonation damage as well as persistent damage in that area with the Nuke part adding extra radius to the initial explosion and the elemental effects.

Repkit

• Triple Bypass is a great utility option for its synergy with the Now With Caffeine to help give us some versatility in Action Skill augments and not just Sangre por Sangre. I try not to spam the repkit to completely alleviate the downtime but using one in between activations or when I actually need a heal helps a lot.
• • For passives I would recommend Reload Speed primarily but Enrage could also be useful in bossing.
• AF1000 is another favorite due to the long duration making it active during an entire boss fight as needed.
• • For passives I would recommend Reload Speed primarily but Enrage could also be useful in bossing.
• A purple Order Repkit with Reload Speed and Enrage could also be used if you have one for the best of both worlds for bossing.

Shield

• Watts 4 Dinner is a strong bonus element that we have access to without needing a Siphon roll thanks to Field Repairs. This bonus element inherits all source damage it's applied which allows to scale very well alongside everything we do.
• • I like capacity rolls on this if you're not going for 25% Siphon.
• Protean Cell is an effective alternative to the Watts 4 Dinner for when you need extra oomph against a boss and aren't too concerned about it stripping your health gate away.
• • The parts here don't quite matter since the drain is percentage based and not a flat amount.
• Any defensive shield can be utilized to your own preference such as Onion, Guardian Angel, and Hopscotch.
• • Honey Badger sounds cool but we do way too much damage for it to actually provide any benefit.

Enhancement

Tediore Banger is the primary enhancement you'll want as a Purple or as one of your two Legendary enhancement slots. The 50% increase to damage is its own multiplier only additive with the 1/3 Get Throwin bonus. It's really hard to compete with its consistency.

For Bossing:

• A Purple Banger with 3 strong passives is my preferred option for bossing.
• Hydrator (Banger/Digi-Divider) is another fantastic option if you have it. I personally don't quite like the 50% chance to spawn an extra Tediore chuck especially since we already get an extra one because of Grenazerker, but it can lead to higher peak damage.
• You'll want to prioritize Magazine Size rolls over Gun Damage for bossing damage since we already get a decent amount of on-shot Gun Damage from El Soldado as well as the Magazine Size Bonuses being absurdly high.
• • Generic Magazine Size is 58% and Weapon-type Specific Magazine Size is 87%

For Mobbing:

• A Purple Banger still has a lot of value if you find your damage still struggling. Otherwise, you can opt into a Purple Recycler to maintain your ammo reserves during extended mobbing (such as Ordenite Processors).
• Either the Valuepalooza (Recycler/Digi-Divider) or the Quencher (Recycler/Banger) legendaries are also fantastic to have to get the best of both worlds in regard to damage and ammo longevity.
• If you want to double down more on ammo efficiency, you could prioritize Gun Damage and Weapon-Type Damage on your mobbing enhancements.
• • Generic Gun Damage is 29% and Weapon-Type specific Gun Damage is 44%.

2/3 Get Throwin; 2/3 Bullets to Spare; 1/3 Heating Up

• This is the firmware setup I use for mobbing to get a nice balance of Damage, Reload Speed, and Splash Radius for all purpose gameplay.
• 35% Tediore Reload Mult (additive with Banger), 35% Ordnance Damage, 20% Splash Radius, 20% Mag Size, and 20% Reload Speed.
• 1/3 Airstrike can also be substituted for one of the Get Throwing slots since they both increase Splash Radius.

1/3 Get Throwin; 2/3 Bullets to Spare; 2/3 Daed-dy O

• This is the firmware I use for bossing to maximize the mag-size bonuses available to us.
• 35% Tediore Reload Mult (additive with Banger), 35% Ordnance Damage, and 40% Mag Size

Bullet Train, Riddle You This, and Now With Caffeine are the three specializations I often always have equipped. The final one gets swapped out conditionally based on vibes.

• Bullet Train allows us the scale our Gun Damage via movement speed. It also allows us to bind Shoot and Reload to the same key without hassle or ruining the movement flow.
• • Since the damage is calculated on hit, you can try to dash as your Tediores are hitting the boss to snapshot the damage for the brief moment.
• Riddle You This is a steady source of Gun Damage during mobbing that can be easily stacked via our Tediores (best with Chuck or Ruby's Grasp), their bullets via Shooting reloads, or even the Countermeasure grenade during bossing.
• Now With Caffiene is such a nice option to have for cooldown reduction. It can either be utilized to assist partially, or it can be spammed multiple times in a row to refresh your action skill if you need it in a pinch.
• The Best Defense is generally useful damage bonus across the board but ultimately can be swapped out as well.
• • Fragmentation Payload can be a fun option for mobbing when combined with Ojo Rojo. Frag Payload is chosen over A Honed Mind since its crit damage scales better on its own plus it will affect our Grenades as well. Win win!
  • You could also utilize Full Spectrum Arsenal as well with how much we're feeding into increasing our Gun Damage.
  • Groundbreaker is an absolutely busted skill. Now normally you can't melee while using Apophis Lance but for some reason you can while using PROJECT: Gorgon and PROJECT: Raiju! Struggling with a boss? Just equip and go for a free cheese kill!
  • May need to spec additional I Am A Gun and Bear Arms in place of other Specializations.
