Overview

If you miss the crazy free amp damage, you could get back in Borderlands 2 with The Bee shield and want it back in Borderlands 4, look no further!

Guide

To make this work, you will need to be playing on Vex.

The reason you want to play her is because you can take advantage of her Teen Witch class mod. This will make it so your lifesteal will now apply to shields and overshields.

You can then pair that with any amp damage shield, so when you shoot, it will drain a portion of it but grant bonus damage.

Since you have the Teen Witch, it will heal the drained damage that the amp shield does, meaning you will always be at full shield even though you are losing shields.

If you pair this with any high damage-based weapon, you can keep this chain going forever and do some crazy damage. My recommendation for this would be the Hot Slugger.

It's also worth noting that you will need lifesteal skills for this to work effectively. Be on the lookout for Essence Leech, Leeching Attunement, and Grave Thirst when crafting your build.

Any gear that can also provide lifesteal can help, too. Firmware like Rubberband man and Lifeblood can also provide lifesteal.

You can even take it one step further and play into legendary shields like the Sparky Shield, Super Soldier, andWatts 4 Dinner since you will always have full shields. Just make sure they come with the amp damage perk.

Notes

To get the Teen Witch class mod you can farm Radix in the Carcadia Vault

To get an amp shield, there isn't a specific farm, so always be on the lookout for your drops

To get the Hot Slugger you can farm Callous Harbinger of Annihilating Death
