Borderlands 2: Gearbox Creates More Problems With Krieg

I’ve hit level 61 w/ Maya, Zero & Axton and I have to say thus far I’m having the most fun w/ Krieg. I could careless about not being able to complete a challenge here or there.

To all the people whining about having to pay for a character or complaining b/c it’s not part of the season pass. Or the constant internet rumblings from butt-hurt gamers crying about other games w/ micro-transactions…… There’s an easy solution:

Don’t buy it.

Micro-transactions in games are not mandatory to play/complete the game. DLC for any game that cost money is not mandatory to play/complete the game. I’d rather have the option to get more game play for a little more $$, then have the developer not come out with or release any additional content.

Quit your bitchin.

So, what you’re saying is, if you’re OCD, have magnets on you in order to cause items to fly towards you, enjoy being tossed off cliffs, and don’t understand why not using the weapon that applies the melee bonus doesn’t grant you that melee bonus despite the fact that you can have upwards of 500% damage (including all buffs granted by the Mania tree), you’ll be disappointed by this class.

Few inaccuracies with this piece, by the way. Almost as anecdotal as yours, except that unlike you it appears I’ve actually played this class for longer than it takes to get to the first area.
First, Roids. I’ve received the bonus while in Buzz-Axe Rampage. I’ve been using Roid shields since I found my first one on top of the Bloodshot Dam. I’m currently using the Love Thumper. When I read this, I went to test it, both with a Roid shield on, and a Roid shield off. With the Roid shield on, I did significantly higher damage.
Second, no, Zero isn’t a better melee fighter. I haven’t even maxed my Krieg’s Mania tree out yet, and he’s still doing significantly more damage per shot and going down significantly less than my melee zero does. This is despite the fact that my melee Zero is a much higher level, and despite the fact that he doesn’t work best when his shield is down–meaning that I have a high-capacity, low recharge delay shield equipped to him. Krieg’s Buzz-Axe Rampage is capable of killing Badasses in moments; I won’t lie, when I saw this I was expecting it to be an article about how overpowered he was.
Yes, Light the Fuse is terrible. There is nearly no justification for taking it. But that’s easily patchable.
And for Gods’ sake, man, the whole season pass thing was something that we knew several months ago when the Season Pass was released. If anything you should be pointing out that the people who are complaining about that should have read the description on the item before purchasing it.
A few other people have already said this, but I’m having more fun with Krieg than any other character, including Zero, including Gaige. And until this article, I’ve met exactly 0 fans who actually dislike Krieg. Every friend I have who has bought him seems pleased with their purchase.
I’ve noticed that you didn’t link a single example of these videos or articles or even a comment stack which showed displeasure at Krieg. That makes you slightly less credible than some kid talking smack at a high-school; at least the kid has an excuse for not including links in his talk. You had one link, and all that did was explain why the Rapier didn’t do as much damage as Buzz-Axe Rampage. And even then, you completely missed the point by quoting something most people could have figured out by reading the description.
This article MIGHT have a legitimate point. I don’t know. But if it does, whoever wrote it needs to do some serious editing before it can be taken seriously.

I agree awesome who gives a fuck a bout challenges it the fun and power

Krieg is so far been my favorite character. Who are you to judge gearbox for making a fun character. Oh wow two challenges, so what. Get a life and quit complaining

Wow…. You are sad you know that. Have you even played with him past level 5? He is a bad ass! By far the most fun I have had with the game and well worth the $10. Sure he’s not perfect, but he’s so much fun to play as I (and obviously my fellow gamers) love him. You fined one thing off like not able to complete a challenge and have to start picking at little things and try to make it seam like its the end of the world. He is FUN. Grow up, stop bitching, and play the game for the fun. Also take this article down, your just sad.

I found the aint my first time at the rodeo challenge hilarious, i was screaming at my monitor calling krieg fatty for like an hour. (even after i had given up on the challenge)
Krieg is hands down my favourite character thus far. i personally fin d the extra classes so much more fun then the base classes which for someone who poured over 250 hours in the first game is great because the base classes just feel like extensions of the original 4.

My friend was able to complete the slab UHF challenge with Krieg. He did have hard time doing it and mentioned having to adjust hi jumps differently.

when playing krieg you want him to be easy to hit so his size is important. most of kriegs best abilities and combos only come into play when his shields are down and health is low.

i havent had any problems at all with loot or achievements and in all honestly, and this coming from a man who always plays the sniper, i have had more fun playing krieg then any of the other character. it is a game of cat and mouse played with death. if you put off his trigger skill till you are almost deadyou can perform and endless cycle of his trigger skill withought having to wait for the cool down making him as effective with melee as brick if not better.

if you play him i do reccomend the mania tree as a building block and then moving into another tree after you hit the pinacle skill. mania/hellborn seems to be the best for leveling and over all survivability

to me this guy is like a new brick form bl1 but with an axe those complaining are just attension seekers… fucking assholes

80153015 problem on xbox showing up everytime im buying kraig. for some reason xbox wont let me buy him i dont know why? i did what they told me to do. is anyone having the same problem?

My stance on this is: Who ever wrote that article is a moron. Who the hell cares about 2 little challenges or nade jumping. You try to nitpick here and fail miserably (oh god, how dumb the loot deflection part is), because you ignore the one most important thing of all -> Krieg is a BLAST to play. But you probably don’t know, because you don’t even seem to have played him.

Finally there’s only 1 thing to say, a quote from old Jack: If you could just off yourself, that’d be great.

all the whiners talking about how krieg has no gun abilities, and how you have to take damage to even be good, thats the POINT krieg has abilities centered around taking damage so you can do devastating attacks and get your health back quick. a tip, have mania as the center to pretty much any build you do. light the fuse and redeem the soul make klieg nearly invincible. the whole idea is to get up close, get your shields sown and wreck some fools with your shotty by using salt the wound, and chop them up with the buzz axe. if yo got klieg hoping to stand back with your rifle, you were wrong.
