It very much depends on the build. On a sniping build the grog is obviously a no-go and at the same time you can stay out of harms way enough to rely on transfusions. In a melee build however you'll want to run the Chain Lightning for shield stripping and that makes a moxxxie gun, of which the Grog simply is the best in terms of healing pretty much manadatory as your only other option would be a law&order combo which would greatly reduce your damage output in comparison.

I've only played BL2. I played the whole game solo with Zero. Yep, he works. Get the best shield available and whenever you get overwhelmed just use the invisible thing to stay out of harm. Go invisible to buy time so that your shield recovers. Go slow and you can do it. He's pretty cool.
I struggle playing zero when I can breeze through with other characters the only reason I keep going back is zero by far is the coolest looking character
I honestly hope that bl3 brings zero back as an NPC with major significance. We need his backstory to be known, but it'd be cool for his backstory to be slowly told to the player via a (very) challenging line of quests.
I love playing Zero when in co-op. My partner playing an in-your-face tank drawing in all the attention while I stay far away and snipe. In some areas he has the advantage and I'm hiding and trying to help, in others my companion has barely made it to the enemies before I've killed them all. Those two styles together meant we could tackle any area or hurdle together and rely on each other really well.
Zer0 is like any other typical assassin class out there, and that is kill everything faster than it can kill you. High dmg modifier + high crit dmg modifier = a god damn good time.
Zer0 was the character for me even though I just started playing last year. I initially started with Gaige, but I love to snipe in any FPS. Turns out he worked to my playstyle perfectly since I always tend to play these things like one shot will kill me. Only downside is the butterflies I get in my stomach still when I go in for a melee shot and there is more than one enemy around. XD And then fuck up the swing because I get too nervous.
I really think you glossed over the melee playstyle. Like...big time. Melee Zer0 is, by far, my favorite character in BL2. It's the reason I keep going back to it. It's technical but so very rewarding. And hit's like an absolute dump truck when set up correctly. I really wish you would've given a lot more time to how incredible and fun melee Zer0 is. :-/
With a little bit of aiming skill, sniper zer0 is a beast vs bosses. You can 3-4 shoot them,and of course, every regular enemy is dead with one shoot, which is extremely satisfying.
Zer0 is my favorite character when it comes sniping and ambushing enemies when cloaked. If you like playing a sniper or stealth(or ambush) approach and don't like charging into fights, he's your guy. Just be careful when enemies like badass psychos charge at you cause you can be in deep shit so plan your strategy when taking out enemies like those..
Tbh if you have a decent melee build just cloak and execute the badass psycho. The only trouble i have with him is that he takes a lot of damage comoared to others for some reason. A copter kills my zero faster than for example my friends axton. And his char is 5 lvls under mine.
I feel like that's true for a lot of characters. I often find myself reseting my skill points depending on which boss or area I'm going to before I get to a high level.
I find him amazing at killing bosses and shitty at killing basic enemys and fighting groups of enemys. He's good if ure in a good position or have the high ground or have good cover. Areas without cover or high ground and your screwed. That's my experience anyways
@@magicmanscott40k nah, melee build zero with correct gear and taking on mobs is easy. You can skate the through an entire room of enemies with many must fall and 1 deception and 1 hit everyone.
I main Zer0 ever since I got the game Puma & heck, I even use his "Bone Head" head & "Ninja Star" skin & named him Waluigi for the memes & I sometimes like to say WAAAAAA everytime I kill an enemy in an insane way. Plus I mainly play gun Zer0 & I also like playing Sniper Zer0 & Melee Zer0 from time to time. Also, BORE IS OP!!! EDIT: I've always found Zer0 a very easy character to play & very fun.
Bore is not op by itself. The developers intended for bore to be used in mobbing scenarios, utilizing deception to line up enemies. However, they fucked up and now we can instakill some bosses
Actually I picked up Zero becuase as a NINJA style character I expected himto have realy low defense, but some awesome attack and critical damage potential. I was happy with that
I think everyone misses the invulnerability every 15 secs. It's also overall easier since you get a escape plan every few seconds instead of having to deal with wathever you get into The sudden high damage is amazing too, you can kill bosses in seconds with good setups, making bosses look like normal enemies
I love playing melee but I think one of the things you raised as a plus (easy to obtain melee from side quests) can actually be a negative as you get that gear and that's it - the issue is more the lack of gear options for a melee character really (BL1 had the same issue). It would be nice if they could overhaul the entire melee system so you can upgrade your melee attacks without just getting a gun with a bayonet attachment, as one of the common complaints with Zero is his sword attack is much better looking than using the Love Thumper. The other issue was game was so reliant on using elemental weaknesses and unlike the original you couldn't attached an element to your melee attacks, which limited your damage output. Melee always seems to be an afterthought in BL as you have millions of guns but typically have only 1-2 viable melee build rely on the same gear. Even in BL1 melee Brick was by far the weakest co-op play style as the enemies got tougher Brick's damage and resistances didn't scale at all, the only saving grace was his revive skill but given you needed guns to revive yourself you were better off going Blastmaster with explosive weapons and just using Berserk mode to heal when you found cover - especially given melee was completely ineffective against at least half of the bosses.
i always liked "like the wind" i find myself dead if i stood still for too long and since he was my first character i got good at the run and gun with a sniper play style
The zero I have is more of a balance of sniping and melee damage. I might respec into sniping only but I do love that forward dash that resets if u get a kill.. like genji's swift strike
Notice how 90% of RUclips Borderlands 2 videos only use Gunzerker and Siren in their demonstration videos? Cos these are the easiest classes, Zero is simply difficult to be played well. When you do have the skills to play him well, he's an absolute beast.
Just when I was prepared to give up on 0 I watched ur video. I refuse to "boost" or go online for free op gear so amongst ALL other Zero videos I found urs the most knowledgeable of character. So kudos Master Jedi, second chance was a thing I forgot.
Im playing zer0 as a shotgun guy with my friend as commando, i have very offensive gameplay (jumping in fight and shooting hedshots with a shotgun ) while my friend sits with turret on the back with slug type Rocket launcher. Love this game.
I always play as a sniper in first person shooter games (Except fortnite because that game is trash now) and my aim has been on point. So when it comes to borderlands, you know I’m gonna pick the sniper. Even though many people think he’s a little hard to control, I’m gonna give it a try. (Which I did, he is badass, especially when he does his Haiku poems. Top 5 best snipers in my opinion!!)
I just love Zer0 and especially his melee slash attack. It does really high damage and after killing someone with a melee my deception restarts and i can kill another dude. Its so fun i can kill everyone without them even knowing that im there.
Agree on his flexibility, skills and ease of gun choices. Kinda feel talking about Zero being 'exposed' probably comes from tryna play him a little more like a tank than he'd like or at least not appreciating how many leg days he's missed reading poetry. Which is not how one plays a glass cannon. An archer doesn't rush into the middle of the mob. This Haiku dropping bodysuit likes his personal space and has range over most of his enemies, fighting them at the same way as we do with Axton or Salvador, Maya or Gaige is somewhat missing the 'pre-built character' in favour of our meta obsessions. Somewhat judging a fish by it's ability to climb a tree. He kinda has more 'Ts&Cs' than some of the rest, as such, though he can be fun if those are met.. *I use he/him for Zero and he hasn't complained, so I'm sticking with it..
Bore is insane! I remember one shotting enemies and thinking my game was broken or glitched, but no, that's just how absurd that skill can be at times.
Bro was my first character and god damn this is brutal. I’m pretty bad at games so I was struggling with solo play. Didn’t realize you’re only supposed to follow one tree and thought his ability was awful just meant to run away or finish off enemies when you run out of bullets
that was my first character in Borderlands 2. I didn't really play in the late game though. Been playing the absolute shit out of Borderlands 3 recently though. Makes me wanna go back and play 1 & 2. That's how I discovered this channel actually hah
ive always sucked at sniping in video games, whether it's a bad computer, over-compensating a lead on a moving target, or just twitchy hands. so i initially didn't like zer0 at all. later on i realized how fun he can be without even touching a sniper rifle. his melee and cunning trees are incredibly fun and flexible, and even his sniping tree can have skills that work with usable guns :)
I feel like unforeseen is underappreciated. Get a relic and mod that decreases cooldown time, and you can pretty much suicide bomb entire crowds, in combination with blossom and bore. Charge a huge mob, use deception right in the middle of them, unload kunai, chuck a singularity grenade, then light them up. Even better if your mod increases unforeseen or ambush
You don't understand. But I love zero forever man, the bloodshed skill tree and the disturbed survivor class mod, are just godly. Especially with an slag rapier.
Zero to me has awesome skills that have the right balance in melee and gun damage. Mostly his B0re skill is really OP with the right timing, in the end he is my favorite character in the franchise.
I think his problem is that in the early game he takes more damage. My theory is that his head is larger and so is it's hit box so he actually takes more head shots.
Speaking on the Godbore you said "If you're curious, this is ehat that looks like" Cuts to add: man fishing as he cracks open a coors light 😂😂😂 Get that money Mr. Puma!!
I just got into this game ever since I got it for free. It’s a shame I waited for so long to discover this awesome game. I knew who I would pick the moment I saw masked character with a sword. I have a weakness for ninjas / assassin classes. I also knew that I’d be the weakest in defense because usually assassin/ninja classes are low in defense but have high damage output / high crit rate / crit damage. Nothing is more satisfying than picking out mobs from distance with a badass sniper rifle.
Murtaza Rizvi What are you’re talking about? Play however you want to play. I never said that’s the only way to play. But considering Zer0’s shitty defense, beginners would do better to pick the enemies off from the distance.
@@Scream357 i was talking about coz was having trouble not played with snipping mostly. but i upgraded the bloodshed skills so i prefer the action with stealth kill more. also i think that zero should have elemental damage in melee too with a skill point. also zero's skill kill which give shield regeneration is the best defense. its a life saver. i think zero has two playing style. either snipping or stealthy-combat style.
Depends... Melee Zer0 is 100% Gear dependent. Without a high tier Roid shield, ideally a Hide of Terra with all Maliwan Parts you don't even need to try. At least on higher difficulties, melee Zer0 basically turns into a roid damage delivery system. The catch with playing Zer0 is that most of his good skills are indirect buffs or require certain conditions to be met. Despite being one of the two classes that people would generally consider melee classes he does for example only have a single skill that just directly boosts melee damage and it's not even good enough to be worth picking. Zer0 is a lot less sustainable in combat than other Vault hunters and that can set people off. I really enjoy playing him but that doesn't mean I didn't get frustrated from time to time.
People think B0re is just for Hyperius or Bunker and some more, but no. If you manage to control the battlefield and your surrounding using singularities or even the enemy behavior, you can kill tons of enemies with a couple of Pimpernel shots for example. I do all the time when I'm playing as a Sniper.

So true

Zero can bore Hyperius with a God damned basic repeater. The first gun you get on the first playthrough. Madness.

I have a question what does a badass rank mean and do?
@@hanc6989 I gotcha so basically it permanently boosts certain stats for all characters on your account. Such as element damn explosive radius or bullet damage. You can also turn them off if you feel to op
Og Xbox360 player when I was 7, now I’m 13
@@ThatMetalHead08 I was 6 when I played borderlands for the first time back in 2009 and I got borderlands 2 on release when I was like 11 I belive now I’m 18 and I preordered 3 and was kinda disappointed with it tbh it was alright but not the best borderlands 2 will always hold a special place in my heart tho I have so many memories of that game
I've only played BL2. I played the whole game solo with Zero. Yep, he works. Get the best shield available and whenever you get overwhelmed just use the invisible thing to stay out of harm. Go invisible to buy time so that your shield recovers. Go slow and you can do it. He's pretty cool.
I struggle playing zero when I can breeze through with other characters the only reason I keep going back is zero by far is the coolest looking character
I honestly hope that bl3 brings zero back as an NPC with major significance. We need his backstory to be known, but it'd be cool for his backstory to be slowly told to the player via a (very) challenging line of quests.
I love Zero he is amazing
Yeah he was my 1st & I still have my same fisrt Zero play through from 2012 my absolute favorite honestly I never knew people hated him
zero genji cool
Who's Zero? I only know Zer0.
TeaBaG AssAss1n Same. I jumped into borderlands 2 and just picked the robot did not know anything when buying the handsome collection.
Zer0's my main squeeze.
I love playing Zero when in co-op. My partner playing an in-your-face tank drawing in all the attention while I stay far away and snipe. In some areas he has the advantage and I'm hiding and trying to help, in others my companion has barely made it to the enemies before I've killed them all. Those two styles together meant we could tackle any area or hurdle together and rely on each other really well.
The God Bore gives me a massive chub when that sound hits.
Zer0 is like any other typical assassin class out there, and that is kill everything faster than it can kill you. High dmg modifier + high crit dmg modifier = a god damn good time.
Next one will be "Why Salvador Isn't Overpowered"
good one lol.
Zer0 was the character for me even though I just started playing last year. I initially started with Gaige, but I love to snipe in any FPS. Turns out he worked to my playstyle perfectly since I always tend to play these things like one shot will kill me. Only downside is the butterflies I get in my stomach still when I go in for a melee shot and there is more than one enemy around. XD And then fuck up the swing because I get too nervous.
I really think you glossed over the melee playstyle. Like...big time.
Melee Zer0 is, by far, my favorite character in BL2. It's the reason I keep going back to it.
It's technical but so very rewarding. And hit's like an absolute dump truck when set up correctly.
I really wish you would've given a lot more time to how incredible and fun melee Zer0 is. :-/
Yeah Borderlands 2 is and always will be the best borderlands game
With a little bit of aiming skill, sniper zer0 is a beast vs bosses. You can 3-4 shoot them,and of course, every regular enemy is dead with one shoot, which is extremely satisfying.
Zero and krieg are my favourite, because they require a unique play style
I started BL2 by enjoying some mindless shooting, but when I finished UVHM, I came out as a master of mathematics.
Zero is my favorite character but I find it difficult to play uvhm with him due to his lack of crowd control but i still like him
i reccomend you to improve your build.. i mean zero is so stron but correctly builded is better and way stronger
i just bought game and started playing zer0 cuz he just looked cool
having blast playing him
hey man this games a blast, im on true valt hunter mode with Maya
His dialogue is just great in the DLCs dx
Zer0 is my favorite character when it comes sniping and ambushing enemies when cloaked. If you like playing a sniper or stealth(or ambush) approach and don't like charging into fights, he's your guy. Just be careful when enemies like badass psychos charge at you cause you can be in deep shit so plan your strategy when taking out enemies like those..
Tbh if you have a decent melee build just cloak and execute the badass psycho.
The only trouble i have with him is that he takes a lot of damage comoared to others for some reason.
A copter kills my zero faster than for example my friends axton.
And his char is 5 lvls under mine.
Zero is one of the best after you hit level 52, before that point he is a struggle in my experience
I feel like that's true for a lot of characters. I often find myself reseting my skill points depending on which boss or area I'm going to before I get to a high level.
But then that goes for every character tho...
U just suck
To sum it all up zero is a glass cannon
I find him amazing at killing bosses and shitty at killing basic enemys and fighting groups of enemys. He's good if ure in a good position or have the high ground or have good cover. Areas without cover or high ground and your screwed. That's my experience anyways
@@magicmanscott40k true that
stolen
@@magicmanscott40k nah, melee build zero with correct gear and taking on mobs is easy. You can skate the through an entire room of enemies with many must fall and 1 deception and 1 hit everyone.
@@vletur I still don't enjoy gear hunting and finding the perfect set up.
If zer0 is playable on BL3 he would be op
That's some great insight into Zero. Makes me want to maybe try him on our next playthrough.
He's personally my favorite because I can't get enough sniping and melee and I don't like using Krieg.
Zer0 is my go to character! He has one of the best comments in the game. So satisfying!
I main Zer0 ever since I got the game Puma & heck, I even use his "Bone Head" head & "Ninja Star" skin & named him Waluigi for the memes & I sometimes like to say WAAAAAA everytime I kill an enemy in an insane way. Plus I mainly play gun Zer0 & I also like playing Sniper Zer0 & Melee Zer0 from time to time. Also, BORE IS OP!!!
EDIT: I've always found Zer0 a very easy character to play & very fun.
Bore is not op by itself. The developers intended for bore to be used in mobbing scenarios, utilizing deception to line up enemies. However, they fucked up and now we can instakill some bosses
NEED MORE ALSO
Lmao
I love how your picture is one of Russian badges thumbnails
That's pretty lit
Actually I picked up Zero becuase as a NINJA style character I expected himto have realy low defense, but some awesome attack and critical damage potential. I was happy with that
I love playing zero.
I played borderlands for 2 days straight with no sleep once before and zero was the best person to play as
I think everyone misses the invulnerability every 15 secs.
It's also overall easier since you get a escape plan every few seconds instead of having to deal with wathever you get into
The sudden high damage is amazing too, you can kill bosses in seconds with good setups, making bosses look like normal enemies
I love playing melee but I think one of the things you raised as a plus (easy to obtain melee from side quests) can actually be a negative as you get that gear and that's it - the issue is more the lack of gear options for a melee character really (BL1 had the same issue). It would be nice if they could overhaul the entire melee system so you can upgrade your melee attacks without just getting a gun with a bayonet attachment, as one of the common complaints with Zero is his sword attack is much better looking than using the Love Thumper. The other issue was game was so reliant on using elemental weaknesses and unlike the original you couldn't attached an element to your melee attacks, which limited your damage output. Melee always seems to be an afterthought in BL as you have millions of guns but typically have only 1-2 viable melee build rely on the same gear.
Even in BL1 melee Brick was by far the weakest co-op play style as the enemies got tougher Brick's damage and resistances didn't scale at all, the only saving grace was his revive skill but given you needed guns to revive yourself you were better off going Blastmaster with explosive weapons and just using Berserk mode to heal when you found cover - especially given melee was completely ineffective against at least half of the bosses.
i always liked "like the wind" i find myself dead if i stood still for too long and since he was my first character i got good at the run and gun with a sniper play style
Tip: Cast Decepetion while ADSing to get more Deception time (well, more time to do actions because you skip the cast animation)
I like a aggressive play style you get while playing zer0
The zero I have is more of a balance of sniping and melee damage. I might respec into sniping only but I do love that forward dash that resets if u get a kill.. like genji's swift strike
Notice how 90% of RUclips Borderlands 2 videos only use Gunzerker and Siren in their demonstration videos? Cos these are the easiest classes, Zero is simply difficult to be played well. When you do have the skills to play him well, he's an absolute beast.
Just when I was prepared to give up on 0 I watched ur video. I refuse to "boost" or go online for free op gear so amongst ALL other Zero videos I found urs the most knowledgeable of character. So kudos Master Jedi, second chance was a thing I forgot.
Had this game for a couple years now only have one character.. zer0 my main and only.. but I'm only lvl 53 on TVHM lol
Same but I'm lvl 52. Just the grind o so boring and trying to use a different character. After zero? Yea that never ends well...
Zer0 was my main vault hunter when borderlands 2 first came out
Im playing zer0 as a shotgun guy with my friend as commando, i have very offensive gameplay (jumping in fight and shooting hedshots with a shotgun ) while my friend sits with turret on the back with slug type Rocket launcher.
Love this game.
I always play as a sniper in first person shooter games (Except fortnite because that game is trash now) and my aim has been on point. So when it comes to borderlands, you know I’m gonna pick the sniper.
Even though many people think he’s a little hard to control, I’m gonna give it a try. (Which I did, he is badass, especially when he does his Haiku poems. Top 5 best snipers in my opinion!!)
First person shooters
Fortnite
I just love Zer0 and especially his melee slash attack. It does really high damage and after killing someone with a melee my deception restarts and i can kill another dude. Its so fun i can kill everyone without them even knowing that im there.
Awesome puma! Zer0 was always my favorite
He's my favorite out of them all
same
Agree on his flexibility, skills and ease of gun choices. Kinda feel talking about Zero being 'exposed' probably comes from tryna play him a little more like a tank than he'd like or at least not appreciating how many leg days he's missed reading poetry. Which is not how one plays a glass cannon. An archer doesn't rush into the middle of the mob. This Haiku dropping bodysuit likes his personal space and has range over most of his enemies, fighting them at the same way as we do with Axton or Salvador, Maya or Gaige is somewhat missing the 'pre-built character' in favour of our meta obsessions. Somewhat judging a fish by it's ability to climb a tree. He kinda has more 'Ts&Cs' than some of the rest, as such, though he can be fun if those are met..
*I use he/him for Zero and he hasn't complained, so I'm sticking with it..
Bore is insane! I remember one shotting enemies and thinking my game was broken or glitched, but no, that's just how absurd that skill can be at times.
Bro was my first character and god damn this is brutal. I’m pretty bad at games so I was struggling with solo play. Didn’t realize you’re only supposed to follow one tree and thought his ability was awful just meant to run away or finish off enemies when you run out of bullets
Zer0 was my first character and now he is my best sooo I think he's actually really good ngl
that was my first character in Borderlands 2. I didn't really play in the late game though. Been playing the absolute shit out of Borderlands 3 recently though. Makes me wanna go back and play 1 & 2. That's how I discovered this channel actually hah
ive always sucked at sniping in video games, whether it's a bad computer, over-compensating a lead on a moving target, or just twitchy hands. so i initially didn't like zer0 at all.
later on i realized how fun he can be without even touching a sniper rifle. his melee and cunning trees are incredibly fun and flexible, and even his sniping tree can have skills that work with usable guns :)
I thought zero was bad but it's acctually really good
I have been waiting weeks for this exact video
I feel like unforeseen is underappreciated. Get a relic and mod that decreases cooldown time, and you can pretty much suicide bomb entire crowds, in combination with blossom and bore. Charge a huge mob, use deception right in the middle of them, unload kunai, chuck a singularity grenade, then light them up. Even better if your mod increases unforeseen or ambush
THANK YOU SOMEONE ELSE THINKS SO
You don't understand. But I love zero forever man, the bloodshed skill tree and the disturbed survivor class mod, are just godly. Especially with an slag rapier.
I use the b0re skill for bosses because a few of them have god-b0re potential. The Bunker is a great example
Zero to me has awesome skills that have the right balance in melee and gun damage. Mostly his B0re skill is really OP with the right timing, in the end he is my favorite character in the franchise.
Well said. Characters with no weaknesses are boring, in my opinion, and I think that in Borderlands 2 the characters are generally well designed.
Zer0 is so good that if he had more defensive skills he would've been soooo OP
That's why Salvador and Krieg is exist
I think his problem is that in the early game he takes more damage. My theory is that his head is larger and so is it's hit box so he actually takes more head shots.
It cool that zero know how to use guns.
Zero was my first character in boderlands 2 and now heres op 4
Same here but he was op8 hear ago
Same here he is my first character to play as
Speaking on the Godbore you said "If you're curious, this is ehat that looks like"
Cuts to add: man fishing as he cracks open a coors light 😂😂😂
Get that money Mr. Puma!!
I just got into this game ever since I got it for free. It’s a shame I waited for so long to discover this awesome game. I knew who I would pick the moment I saw masked character with a sword. I have a weakness for ninjas / assassin classes. I also knew that I’d be the weakest in defense because usually assassin/ninja classes are low in defense but have high damage output / high crit rate / crit damage. Nothing is more satisfying than picking out mobs from distance with a badass sniper rifle.
so i just snipe the enemies with zero? i thought he would have a melee weapon that caused damage with elemental but noooooo
Murtaza Rizvi What are you’re talking about? Play however you want to play. I never said that’s the only way to play. But considering Zer0’s shitty defense, beginners would do better to pick the enemies off from the distance.
@@Scream357 i was talking about coz was having trouble not played with snipping mostly. but i upgraded the bloodshed skills so i prefer the action with stealth kill more.
also i think that zero should have elemental damage in melee too with a skill point.
also zero's skill kill which give shield regeneration is the best defense. its a life saver.
i think zero has two playing style. either snipping or stealthy-combat style.
Depends... Melee Zer0 is 100% Gear dependent. Without a high tier Roid shield, ideally a Hide of Terra with all Maliwan Parts you don't even need to try. At least on higher difficulties, melee Zer0 basically turns into a roid damage delivery system.
The catch with playing Zer0 is that most of his good skills are indirect buffs or require certain conditions to be met. Despite being one of the two classes that people would generally consider melee classes he does for example only have a single skill that just directly boosts melee damage and it's not even good enough to be worth picking. Zer0 is a lot less sustainable in combat than other Vault hunters and that can set people off.
I really enjoy playing him but that doesn't mean I didn't get frustrated from time to time.
"Glass Tank" never heard that term before. Did you mean Glass Cannon?
I run into enemy lines with a sniper, a smile on my face, and no scoping everything in my way
People think B0re is just for Hyperius or Bunker and some more, but no. If you manage to control the battlefield and your surrounding using singularities or even the enemy behavior, you can kill tons of enemies with a couple of Pimpernel shots for example. I do all the time when I'm playing as a Sniper.
Renan Mota you can B0re Saturn with Tidal Wave shotgun
@@holyshiet787 That places you in ashamed book. You can b0re saturn motor mama hyperious and bunker with any gun. But b0re is NOT OVERPOWERED. YOU STUPID PEOPLE.
