    What's up guys! This is VinylicPuma, back with another Borderlands 2 video and today, I figured I could go ahead and attempt to answer the question of whether Krieg The Psycho is a Fun and Good Character to play in both a Solo and Co-Op setting. In this video, I think you'll find Krieg can excel against Raid Bosses and can also be a fun character to play by yourself if you want.
    As always, if you liked this video, feel free to leave a like and let me know if you think Krieg is Worth it or not in the comments!

My record is three times in a row (but that's when I died so for all I know, it could have kept going). Incidentally that was the reason I decided to test it out.

    I play Krieg, my spouse plays Maya. They make an amazing team. I like to spec into Mania, getting Release the Beast and Redeem the Soul. My spouse as Maya has Res, so we can instantly revive one another. What happens is whenever Maya goes into FFYL, I instant revive her which puts me into FFYL, then she instant revives me, which puts me right at 33% or less health, so I can trigger Release the Beast, have about 5 seconds of invulnerability to close the gap to the nearest enemy, and the cycle repeats. If she ever goes into FFYL while I'm in Release the Beast, I just revive her, she revives me, and I start it up again.

    When I started playing as Krieg I just didn't get him at all. In fact I *hated* him! It wasn't until level 30, and then level 60, that I truly understood him (he's OP8). And he then became one of my favourite characters. This is why I love Borderlands 2: 6 characters each with 3 skill trees, and an infinite way to play each of them. Tired of melee? Go explosive. Tired of explosive? Try a bit of everything. Etc etc etc. Infinite replayability, in infinite combinations. *I looked into the heart of darkness...and I ate it all!*

      Lucas Jimenez with Gaige I typically go anarchy and elemental with the perk that makes your bullets bounce and roll with some form of jakobs shotgun with a small magazine, a hyperion or etech smg, grog/rubi/kitten, and a torgue weapon, magic missile (x4), legendary mechromancer class mod, an amp shield or shield booster shield. That’s if we’re talking after multiple play throughs and after gearing up pretty well. If we’re talking a new game I go anarchy all the way and focus on shotguns and explosive weapons at close range as much as possible and being a little cheap with spamming the contraband sky rocket or x9 bonus package if it drops to rake in the XP in early game.

      I main Gaige. I use a shock Tattler while using her many shock and weapon perks (plus a Bee). They make me feel unstoppable. I just shoot near an enemy, with 600 stacks of anarchy, and watch literally everything in the general area die. She sometimes feels easier to play than Salvador in my opinion.

    I consider Krieg my main. He's fun and very powerful. But I definitely still have some problems with him. At level 80, no OP, he does great against general enemies. Like, that's fine and dandy. Against bosses, he struggles. Take the Badassasaurus Rex, or the new Hadarax the Invincible, for example. Krieg has good damage, but he just can't deal enough to make a melee fight with these bosses viable. My other issue with Krieg is with the Silence the Voices skill. The problem often isn't actually the damage you deal to yourself (though it can get very high), it's the fact that it takes significantly longer than a normal melee, and you can't do anything while it's happening. If you get really unlucky, and hit yourself three times in a row (which happens more often than you'd think), you're pretty much screwed unless you have some other item (flame of the firehawk or a grenade paired with grog nozzle) that's killing shit and healing you. If you can put up with lots of stupid deaths because Krieg smacked himself over and over... and over again... and you can deal with big health bosses being really tough, play Krieg. It's lots of fun to bloodsplode and oneshot cronies.

    Fuel the rampage is useless if you have release the beast. As long as you transform at/under 33% health (there's a ! Next to your health bar when its there) not only do you become a badass psycho that gets a full bar of health after every kill, but when used this way, BAR is literally back as soon as you return to normal. As long as you keep your health low and a long shield restoration, you can literally keep BAR available FOREVER

    Krieg is a freaking monster. He's got a very high-risk, high-reward playstyle. You're gonna be getting in much closer to your enemies, intentionally taking damage in order to keep rampaging. Once you've got that down pat, Krieg becomes damn near unstoppable. Unlock the "Release the Beast" perk, and it honestly feels like you're cheating.

    Y'all nay-sayers need to max out Krieg using Gibbed (except for the silence the voices skill, which is terrible), and run him at full power. He is like a god. When you time your rampage ability with your low health, you not only dodge death every time, but you also mutate and become a sheer juggernaut. Combined with the Legendary Psycho class mod, Blood of the Ancients relic, the Fire Storm or Magic Missile grenades, and the Teramorphous shield, Krieg becomes so OP it isn't even fair. He's definitely the most fun character to run.

    I think that Release the Beast also deserves a mention, since the boost to his survivabillity and damage output is incredible, and it really makes you feel overpowered during your TVHM playthrough, and makes you happy that you didn's have to get specific survivability gear for UVHM. It's also incredibly satisfying to have almost 100% uptime on your action skill.

When he said "do you really need to make your turret stick to walls?" about the mag-lock, and then said that longbow wasn't a good idea because it wastes so much time with the turret falling to the ground, it made me eye-roll hard.
      He simply never pieced together the idea that you can get the quickest deploying turret (that you can, more or less, place anywhere on any but the largest of maps) that is rendered extra-safe and extra-resilient from enemies by having the extra quick deployment of the longbow (and the substantial bonus health) with the instantaneous deployment of the mag-lock. I take it he doesn't play much online? it is nigh-impossible to have not run into the fearsome double-barreled-slag-mag-lock-phalanx-longbow turret pair ( 26/11/26 being the capstone focus of it) because of how insanely good that build focus is.

    I think one of Krieg's key and more fundamental issues is his early game potential. His skills don't synergise as well as they could until he hits 31, making the risky play style early on somewhat tedious.
    The moment he unlocks RTB or BS however? Completely different experience.
    It's as you said, he seems like was balanced better for the later game due to UVHM.
    He's not ultra bad early game, but pretty much any other character is more enjoyable and essentially more useful, especially in group play.
    The game opens up for him by TVHM.

    krieg is the second strongest character in borderlands 2 he can kill most raid bosses in seconds,is not gear dependent in any point in the game except the OP levels,he has very diverse skill tree,can have many different builds,can make use of most weapons in the game even on UVHM and can work very well with other characters in co-op like Maya,Zero and Axton.the people who say krieg is bad are the same people that use garbage like pimpurHab,grog+FoTf or shamfleed pretending to be playstyle or saying shit like Axton is the worst class,bore is broken or (insert anything that is not SALVADOR) is not viable on op levels.

      He is great with Maya. Me and my girlfriend play and i Tank while she slags. If she goes down Kriegs redeem the Soul picks her up instanlty and she uses her phaselock to pick me up right after with just enough health to go badass psycho on everyone. And sometimes she misses me and phase locks other ppl but her phaselock acts as a singularity and slags so i just run into a crowd and hold x to blow myself up. Just my suicide kills most enemies but if it didn't the Bloodsplosion kills anyone left. We rarely actually die.

      If you don't like the play style doesn't really matter how strong a character is

    krieg can be summed up as, "I don't know what I'm doing but everything is dying so I'll keep doing it."

    Is there a site or something where I can check for char builds, I am interested in the firehawk shield build he mentioned.

    I choose Krieg because because He’s shown that any game would be significantly more entertaining if your character yells insane nonsense the entire game. The melee focus makes him really fun to play and he’s completely fucking hilarious

    I love krieg but I think you are forgetting about 1v1ing a badassasaurus rex on uvhm. Have fun with that

      All you have to do is die to him once, and then get to wear the metal door and concrete blockades are and hide behind it while shooting it throwing axes, it's just a long grind

    I’m on my 3rd or 4th playthrough on my buzzaxe only level 80 Krieg and just now decided to try a plain ass quartz Bandit double barrel shotgun, just to take advantage of salt the wound and blood filled guns. There is so much fun to be had and such unique variety

    He is very difficult to use and has some trouble with some raid bosses in my opinion just because of his melee focus but still a fun character. I don’t know if he would be in the top 3 since zero, sal, and gaige are ridiculous at times but they are sometimes a little more heat dependent
