Borderlands 3

I'm such a bad gamer :(

I just got to that huge ball boss thing and I can't freakin kill it. I must have died 15 times in a row. Lost all my money too :(

I tried various weapons but nothing takes it down fast enough. My Zane is useless as all my buffs trigger after I kill enemies and this boss doesn't have any minions.

Are you using the right elements? Corrosive for the first bar of health and shock for the rest.

Is there like a cheatcheet for elements?

Corrosive weapons work best against armour (yellow bar).
Shock weapons work best against shields (blue bar)
Fire weapons work well against flesh (red bar)
Sl*g weapons increase the damage other weapons do.
Explosive weapons work against everything, with reduced but reliable damage.

I haven't got radiation weapons yet.

My main issue with him was running out of ammo, due to all the fights in the run-up.

Respec you Zane build at the customization station near the Sanctuary fast travel station, I was running a Shield/Drone build, with less focus on kill skills.

Also try to keep 2 of each main gun type (for ammo redundancy) with an elemental and non-elemental damage type.

I think when I did this boss I was running:
Jakobs pistol, plus a non-Maliwan elemental (I think I was still using the 9-Volt pistol from Killavolt) pistol.
Jakobs/Tediore shotgun, and elemental Tediore shotgun (Fire).
Vladof/Hyperion/Tediore SMG, and elemental one (Corrosive).
Vladof/Hyperion/Tediore assualt rifle, and elemental one (Shock).
Jakobs Sniper.

I don't bother with rocket launchers generally, and the above means I have base kinetic damage for all gun types, and clutch elemental when I need it. I try to keep that sort of mix, sometimes having multi elementals for a gun type (currently a corrosive AR and a shock AR, both legendary).
 
I’ve found the explosive weapons are best so far against the bosses as it could be that they have a higher DPS because of splash damage being factored in.
 
Today we’ll release an update to Borderlands 3 by or before 3:00 PM PDT that fixes a number of reported concerns:

Performance

  • [PC Only] Reduced the amount of texture streaming that was occurring when aiming down sights.
  • Addressed a reported concern where certain users with a lot of people in their friend’s list saw more frequent hitching.
  • Implementing General stability improvements.

No sl*g in Borderlands 3, thankfully.

Make sure to keep some weapons of different types around even is there a bit under powered also with the ball boss stay close to a large barricade or something like that you can hide behind if you need make sure to do it when he fires is missiles they maybe slow but have a punch.
