Ikr krieg is my favorite character and every time i do op levels with him theres constantly the feeling of "hahah die die die" and "i hope they dont die and i burn myself to death"
Awesome video! Here are the timestamps for each build if people want to use this video for reference. 25:07 Bloodbath Build 26:05 Same Bloodbath build w/ a different setup 27:09 Explosive Build 28:10 Torch Build 29:14 Melee Build 30:22 Javelin Build

Thank you for this! Krieg was still my first character and since I hopped into the Borderlands series right before BL3 was announced, he’s my only level 80 max character atm. It’s also a struggle to find up to date guides on characters for me atm, so this video helps a lot!
This is the first character I ever played, it took me about a year to really get into BL2 because without knowing how to build him or what guns to use, I just thought it was a ridiculously hard game. Now I have an OP10 Salvador, Gaige, and Krieg. One of my top 5 games, for sure.
I love that you talk about all the little interactions with the unique effects like how pistol firerate affects buzzaxe throw speed. I've always been one who loved all the weird interactions with krieg. kinda like how if you have the right build you can make e-tech dahl assault rifles deal negative damage on critical hits, still hope that borderlands makes another super out of the blue balance patch so I can use e-tech snipers. Like imagine if a maliwan e-tech sniper gets bonus splash damage on hits and only consumed 1 ammo per shot. you could have some really unique builds with krieg or axton.
Absolutely awesome video. I have tried out the melee build and love it! I’ve tried to copy the idea before but following your distribution of points has helped me to balance him and survive much better. Many thanks Joltzdude. Always impressed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I prefer a tediore mag relic for javelin because it makes the reload faster and the mag grow faster which mean faster and much higher damage chucks before waiting for stacks to decay. On the other hand javelin is the only OP10 viable build that takes full advantage of krieg's health stacking so the blood relic is a lot better for survival.
I must show this to my brother, we're doing an axton and kreig play through. And I'm obviously Axton because the hail is my favorite gun in all of borderlands So thanks joltz for the video!
@@thekingtoastamo5808 lead storm is more accurate and damage is better but, hail for me is more superior by a slight margin just because of its healing functions, expanded splash damage size and its fire rate may be slower but it doesn’t take time to spin
@@thekingtoastamo5808 lead storm 100%. It's an absolutely devastating rifle on gaige. It may take like 3 or 4 seconds to spin, but once it does, you get soooo much damage since the bullets actually split and have way more fire rate than the hail. Make sure to wear a bee and have 650 stacks
For anyone like me who hates the visual effect of the Flame of the firehawk there are great mods that remove the flash making it much easier on the eyes
@@axolotl339 I don't see how this is a woooosh moment considering Kriegs quotes have been known for years yet he still managed to mess them up, But thank you for the compliment lmao
@@philswiftdestroyerofworlds1988 How do you know they did it on accident? It's been a couple days and I'm sure they would have corrected their comment by now.
the first time i played bl2 i played krieg and used a bladed gun for a melee build , i also didn’t know what skills to use so i just went down the hellborn tree
i have been waiting for a video that reliably explains krieg and also has all his builds (most videos dont explain anything so i dont get it or something like that) and this is perfect. for once i actually understand krieg and have a simple video where i can find all his builds and weapons. thanks joltz!
this is amazing, i really like krieg, he is my favorite and always will be, he just has a very unigue play style and character roleplay. thank you so much Joltz! also can you do a bandit only krieg? that would mean a ton to me.
Joltz! i just realized that you are almost at 1 mil! half way there! i started watching you at around 150k subs and you have come all this way! keep up the amazing work man! love your vids!
This pleases me Thanks for pointing out the new updated glass tank shield. Also can't wait for your ultimate krieg 1 to op10 series, looking forward to seeing your rendition of bloodsplosion raid boss kills. I've done most of the raidboss tech for krieg but there are some I couldn't do, would love to see your version haha 😆
For the legendary torch build i didn't see the slag Orc - ogre combo.. the fire rate from the class mod plus the extra random fire rate from orc and ogre will build up insane fire rate. Everything will melt around you.. just a thought of mine..
Finally! I am trying to get krieg trough the op levels and really needed a guide like this! I noticed that the peak opener is so strong, but it being a late addition to the game I always thought of it as a bit "cheaty" so I try to not use it very often. Right now my worst pain is to farm the conference call, it seems to me that the most efficient way is with the handsome sorcerer but still no luck. Anyway, love your work, keep it up!
Another tip about the Torch is that it's the best class mod for survivability... ~Also just a tiny correction: Strip the Flesh does *not* give fight for you life time, it gives 15% more explosive damage *while* in fight for your life. ~ALSO WTF THAT ONEY TAKING THE BLOODSPLOSION LIKE A CHAMP! I knew he resisted explosive damage but not that much... almost same as Pete resist corrosive/fire...
Krieg has a passive bonus to melee damage based on his level, and this bonus doesn’t stack with bladed weapons. So, past a certain level it’s actually detrimental to be holding a bladed weapon with a 50% damage buff because it overrides the passive melee damage boost which would be more effective. TLDR, don’t use bladed weapons on Krieg past level 50, unless it’s the Law or the Rapier.
Something that would have been sick was if you used your action skill you would have a buzz axe to use and throw in your left hand but in your right hand would be your regular weapon like an unkempt Harold but if you hold the action skill button you two hand your buzz axe like normal and beat the crap out of enemies with it
Krieg brought me back to BL2 when I quit because I said: "Borderlands 1 is the authentic game, ho-ho!" But when I saw Krieg I quickly jumped back to BL2. And hell I was so fortunate to do that! Now I say: "Borderlands 2 is more authentic than Borderlands 3, ho-ho!" Damn nostalgia! XD
Subbed and liked because im tired of vynilicpumas content…and yours seemed to explain thongs far better and go over multiple builds… Id like to add that i respecced and took a few of your suggestions and theyre working out far better for me than i thought: Got rid of the more melee focused skills like the buzzace duration and dmg reduction while in buzzace for the kill skills goving reload and swap speed…made a HUGE difference…and instead of(after taking bloodsplosion) going straight into the fire tree, instead went for the health regen from mania…good shit!
a very very good vault hunter indeed. while some would disagree with you, i don't tbh, he has such huge variety of playstyle and everything u do with him is strong
Ha can't wait for the Gaige video. "Hey guys, Joltz here with all one of Gaige's OP10 builds... It's Anarchy, thats all she has... have a nice day and see you in the next one"
Shock build, anarchy gun focused, melee, deathtrap, elemental effect stacking... as a gaige main I can say she is extremely underrated (Ik that joltz has said the line you used in the past though 😰)
You ok man? You don’t have to be mean to me. He just inspires me to be a better version of myself. So if something is happening in your life to make you feel like you need to let it out, it will be ok, you don’t have to be mean, you can tell us what is happening man. This is a no judgment youtube Channel where the people here like me for example want to help you feel better. 😊 If I can help you can just ask me I’ll see what I can do.
@@Hjackd_ i don't mean to be mean to you. It was more so a joke. I just don't understand why every video Joltz uploads the first 5 comments are "i can breathe now that Joltz has uploaded" or "my day has new meaning now". It seems hella excessive and unnecessary to me and honestly makes some people seem like they need help. Because your sustenance of life shouldn't be coming from a RU-vid video. But it sure as hell seems that way for some people. I like Joltz and all, been watching his videos for years. This man still to this day puts out some of the best borderlands content I've seen in all of my 12 years of playing. But some of the comments are a little too much and honestly disgusts me
Wait, does "Team kill skill duration" stack if you are playing co-op? If yes, add or mul? Would be cool if you could kill a Skag Pup and keep kill skills for minutes for bosses.
So I know you say in the video light the fuse doesn’t scale well and you are completely correct. However, I’m still wondering if that one light the fuse build where the only objective is to die still works because that is still one of my favorite builds. It’s just really fun!
Joltz, your videos are very on point and on time. I'm trying to convince my gf to play bl2 (95% positive) with me and with these builds i can have an idea of what we should do/aim for. Cheers!
Hear me out a second Homing Pandemic in Torgue bar fight = complete chaos Rounds 1-3 everything melts within a few seconds on Normal mode going to test round 4 and 5 on Normal and 1-5 on TVHM to see if it still works 😅
Joltzdude I appreciate the epilepsy warning thank you. Didn't cause any issues for me, but I just don't see many people do that. Also awesome video. I was having a hard time with him OP10. This is much better than what I had going on. Lol
Nice work on the Krieg build! I just beat the game in normal mode now I am entering the true hunter mode. I am at level 34 now and I was wondering what tree you started off with when building this build for Krieg or what tree would you recommend starting off with? I was liked your Maya build vid also! Have a great day!
YAY!! I really wanted to get this video because I had levelled up my Krieg to the max level but I can't do digi peak because I don't have a good build. Atleast I can do op 4.
