Build Overview

Amp Shot Vex Is by far the strongest Vex build I've come across so far, next to Blood Shot Vex that uses 0 bugs/glitches and all damage is ethically sourced! This build like seen in the video, can kill bosses in less than 3 seconds while also 1 shotting every single mob in the game, it's power level is absolutely off the charts and is arguably better than Bloodletter builds because the damage happens instantly.

This build uses the Teen Witch classmod to give you infinite shield paired with an AMP Synergized shield so every one of your shots does over double damage! We then get some lifesteal to scale Blood Is Power for even more damage. You can technically use any weapon with this build, but the best option is our trusty Bod

Make sure to watch the video for a detailed guide and some gameplay

Grave Sights is better for raw dps output but only works on crits and the gun handling negatively impacts projectile speed which is annoying

Equipment

Repkits & Ordnance
Utilities

Guns: Bod is overall my favorite, it counts as ALL weapons so it scales off of gun damage like crazy, I like to us one with SMG mode for bosses, and sniper mode for mobbing.

The Hot Slugger is quite good for mobbing too.

Complex Root with atlas tracking darts is extremely good for bossing as well, but can be inconsistent at times and doesn't feel great for mobbing

You can probably use anything you want for mobbing if you prefer, but it's unlikely it will be as strong as Bod

Shield: Watts 4 Dinner is technically BiS but any shield you get with amp% is good. It goes up to 150%, the higher the amp, the better.

Repkits: I like using War Paint with enrage for extra damage. Lifesteal rolls on your repkit doesn't apply to Blood Is Power unfortunately.

Class mod: Teen Witch is mandatory, try to get one with +3 into Grave Thirst, the rest of the passives aren't nearly as strong. Shotgun Damage, Crit Damage, Gun damage, are all good rolls too but the passives are much more important.

Enhancements: Prioritize getting additional gun damage, and keep in mind the Bod counts as all weapon types! Gun damage on enhancements are multiplicative, so if you get gun damage + sniper damage, that will boost your damage by over 50% which is pretty insane. Fire rate and mag size help out too! If your Bod is a CoV you want to get a CoV enhancement ideally but it's hard to get a well rolled one. Ripper/Torgue enhancements can be good as well if your Bod rolled with a part from them, but again just prioritize damage.
