Undead Eye/Blood Shot Sniper Build - MASSIVE One Shots - UVH5

Gear

Class Mod:
Undead Eye
Very helpful for keeping up Blood Shot without having to spam repkits as much. It can also roll with Blood Shot on it, which is ideal. I haven't seen it yet, but theoretically rolling 5 points into Blood Shot should allow it to convert 100% of your health into damage. Which sounds ridiculous.
The other two points can be anywhere, though both Guns and Needles or Infernal Sum are great options.
Passives are less important than points in Blood Shot, but more damage never hurts.

Repkit:
The ideal repkit is a purple Order with Amp and Enrage on it.
Enrage is a 30% damage boost while making you take slightly more damage for a duration. This isn't super impactful, but it's the most widely applicable damage boost to the weapons we're using. Not as necessary as getting Amp.
Amp is a multiplicative damage boost, which is a huge damage increase considering most other damage types are additive. Worth noting, amp ONLY multiplies off your base damage and NOT Bloodshot damage.
[Base * (1 + Amp) + Bloodshot] * (1 + EnScale) * [(1 + Scale + Skill) + (1 + CardCrit + 2 * {CritScale})]
This information is only relevant for running calculations as regardless of that fact, amp makes you hit incredibly hard and is super worthwhile to this build.

An alternative to that repkit is the Triple Bypass, a repkit with 3 charges and a 30% chance to recharge one of them on kill. This is actually going to just be significantly better of an option for mobbing, giving you a much higher ability to spam amp. *I have no yet been able to confirm that it is able to roll with amp, will update when I do.

Shield:
Timekeeper's New Shield is our best option a majority of the time. It gives a bunch of health, constant health regen, and 33% damage resistance. This is giving us more damage through Blood Shot while also giving very solid defensive stats to keep our health full.
The rest of this shield section is wildly niche information. It's also likely explained poorly. Feel free to skip to Enhancements.

When Timekeeper's New Shield isn't always the best is incredibly specific. The other option is a normal amp shield, giving 100% amp which stacks additively with the 200% from the repkit, meaning 300% amp total. With this not scaling off Blood Shot, it means that we would go from 200% of our base damage to 300%, so the difference in value that Blood Shot is providing with vs without Timekeeper's New Shield has to be higher than the base damage of the gun.
That being said, a huge note here is that this only matters for bossing and very few guns. Timekeeper's is always providing value with a constant uptime while an amp shield needs to be full.

Enhancements:
This section will have to be updated more as I've really not gotten a wide variety of Enhancements to drop yet. So right now, we're gonna stay general and update from there.
Jakobs enhancement is the best option given the guns that I've been using. Specifically the Jakobs Piercer which gives Jakobs parts a 20% chance to auto crit.
Ideal passives would be anything Gun, Crit, or Sniper damage related. Keep in mind, as of currently, Gun Damage and Weapon Type (Sniper, Pistol, etc.) Damage are MULTIPLICATIVE damage boosts. That makes those rolls VERY impactful.
Mag size can also be beneficial.

Ordnance:
As mentioned, we are lacking auto crit in our trees and so the Penetrator Knife is very useful to carry around. Now that it no longer infinitely stacks and applies Bleed, it feels much less cheesy. Keep in mind as of right now as well, the 30% crit damage stacks with itself, allowing you to get up to 90% auto crit by chucking 3 knives into an enemy.

Other than that, use anything else that you find good. Or fun. Or both. The crit knife is not at all necessary for this build.

Weapons

Borstel Ballista is an incredibly strong sniper, splitting into a bunch of pellets that swirl around the center projectile after a certain distance. This is easily the best gun at our disposal for bossing, able to stack so much bleed and just hitting like a truck.

Truck is for when you really want to hit like a truck. Overall, it's worse for bossing simply due to the significantly lower projectile count than the Ballista, but it has a much higher base damage and can hit significantly harder if we ignore bleed potential.

Boomslang is just a really fun option. Doesn't hit as hard as the other two, but has some better AOE for mobbing. It also looks really REALLY cool and will give you style points.

Stray is a very fun mobbing option, especially if you don't feel like having to aim. It can also roll with some licensed parts, of which I'd recommend Daedalus for better ammo upkeep or Jakobs for even better mobbing potential.

Complex Root still requires some more testing, but definitely an incredibly good option for larger hitboxes. Blood Shot converting damage into kinetic also means you don't really have to worry about farming the correct elements!
Apparently the Root can roll with a Jakobs part. Makes it even more effective for both mobbing and bossing!

Stop Gap gives you up to 750% damage the longer you fire it, at the cost of the fire rate scaling down to 20% over time. This is a VERY strong option and can come in every element. Can be great for both mobbing and bossing, though easily better as a bossing gun. You can less than one mag most bosses with this gun.

Finnity XXX-L is effectively the Lyuda of this game. An absolute DPS machine to just spam into the crit of an enemy, proccing a bunch of Blood Shot through the Undead Eye and just melting down health bars. While it is incendiary locked, it can still be used against any health bar time due to Blood Shot converting to Kinetic.

Other weapons will be added as I find and test them.

3/3 Deadeye
2/3 Trickshot
Both of these are taken to just let us stack more crit damage. I would likely prefer something a bit more utility-focused than just raw damage, but there really isn't anything else that would benefit this build too much.

God Killer is an alternative option and likely still good, but doesn't give as much damage overall or for as much of an uptime. It's also almost entirely geared towards mobbing.
High Caliber is a very intriguing option, but unfortunately Gearbox hasn't figured out how to make projectile speed not suck with weapons that have particular firing patterns. For most of the guns I use this isn't a huge deal, however it very negatively impacts the usage of the Borstel Ballista.
I've been running 2/3 High Caliber over Trickshot recently as the 10% gun damage is multiplicative against most of our other damage, only being additive with Enhancement Gun and Enhancement Weapon Type damage. This is a very easy and consistent source of an additional multiplier. While the projectile speed is a bit bunk, it's a very strong damage buff.

Down But Not Out isn't strictly necessary, but is incredibly nice for if you ever go down. I really don't go down much with this build as it's shockingly tanky, but if I ever do, I appreciate having my scope available to me. If you were gonna swap out a specialization, this would be the one to do so.

Contamination is incredibly helpful for increasing your odds of applying huge bleeds.

One Shot, One Kill can be helpful for bossing, especially considering you have to kill arena enemies to get your Kill Skills stacked. It's not game changing, but it can make boss kills a little more consistent.

In The Zone is actually surprisingly nice. It can be a bit annoying to play around with, but getting stacking this has made a bigger difference than I thought it would in boss kill consistency. Again, it's not a necessity for bossing, but is quite nice.
