How to instant kill Pyro pete the invincible as Krieg (even OP8)
By Diesel
Krieg is often considered the best mobber in BL2, however he is also said to be "Not raid boss worthy". This is easily proven wrong as Krieg can instant kill some of the raid bosses in the game, one of them is Pyro Pete. (The others being Voradicous and Terramorphous, possible more.)

This guide will hopefully make farming legendaries a thing of the past and very easy, the Loot required is also very basic and the most important thing is your skill points and where you put them.

HTKPP:: Loadout
The load out required to kill Pyro Pete is very basic as I said, Some of these items arn't necessary however others are extremely important. I will mark items on how important they are giving them a rank 1-5, 1 being optional and 5 being required.

Guns
1. Infinity
This will be used to build blood lust stacks with out consuming ammo, it isn't necessary as any rapid fire weapon can do the same job. I would recommend one with a DoT element, especially electricity as this will help maintain your blood lust stacks.

Rank: 1

2. Slagga
Again I use this to build blood lust stacks and keep PP slagged, however any weapon can do this, it also won't be necessary because our grenade will be doing that job of keeping PP slagged and even if he isn't the damage you will be doing will be retardedly large it wouldn't matter anyway.

Rank: 1

3. Raiper
This will give us 200% extra melee damage which is very important as we need to a very large amount of damage in one melee swing, it is also great for building BL stacks.

Rank: 4

4. Anything

As I said gear isn't important, you will unlikely be using more than 2 weapons so have any weapon in your arsenal.

Grenade

1. Bouncing Bonnie (low level)

This is an extremely important part of our equipment as we need to be able to slag a lot of things at once, it also has to be at a low level so it doesn't kill the enemies we will be using to kill Pyro Pete.

Rank: 5 (You need this grenade)

Shields

I prefer using 2 shields so I can easily activate roid damage bonus

1. Basic, high level Roid shield.

Do NOT use a Love thumper. This is required to let us do more melee damage, we need to be doing a lot of damage to a single target, the roid damage bonus is EXTREMELY good at extra melee damage.

Rank: 5

2. Rough Rider

I use this to instantly destroy my shields, the rough rider has a 0 shield capacity which can be obtained from the Hammerlock DLC. I will quickly switch to this when I am about to let the enemies spawn and then switch back to my roid shield so I get massive melee damage. However it isn't necessary if you can get PP to destroy your shields, however that is very risky.

Rank: 3

Relic

1. Any relic

This isn't important but if you can try getting one with a melee damage buff or a resistance to fire/corrosion.

Class Mod

1. Legendary Sickle Mod

This is just to make our melee damage much greater

Rank: 3

2. Any mod that buffs Silence the Voices

Again we just need more melee damage.

Rank: 2
Skill Points
This is the most important part of the guide, I highly recommend getting a level cap higher than 50 as it hinders your overall melee damage.
HTKPP:: Level 50

HTKPP:: Level 61
HTKPP:: Level 72 + Analysis

Blood Lust
  • Blood Filled Guns 5/5 (Helps build BL stacks and isn't as useless as the other option)
  • Taste Of Blood 5/5 (Again, Another Filler, the resistance is nice for survival.)
  • Blood Over-Drive 5/5 (A filler)
  • Blood-Bath (Very helpful for not wasting Money on grenades as we will be spamming grenades)
  • Fuel The Blood 5/5 (A filler)
  • Boiling Blood 5/5 (Keeps stacks up for longer which is crucial)
  • Blood Splosion 1/1 (The core of this build, You will need this, with this skill we will be able to do Multiple 999,999 K damage to Pyro Pete.)

Do not get Blood trance, this is more of a problem than a benefit, if your attempt fails this will make sure you die afterwards.

Mania
  • Empty the rage 5/5 (Our shields will be down when we do our finishing blow, more melee damage = higher success chance)
  • Feed the Meat 5/5 (We want our shields down as long as possible and more health always helps)
  • Embrace the Pain 5/5 (Higher fire rate means more BL stacks and our shgields will be down EVEN longer)
  • Strip the flesh 5/5 (Extremely important, this 15% will apply to our blood-splosion, 15% is a HUGE increase in damage as we will be doing damage such as 500,000K... 500,000,000/10 = 50,000,000 + 25,000,000 = An additional 75,000 K, extremely worth it)
  • Salt the wound 5/5 (Our shields will be down and we get more melee damage, I think you got the picture by now)
  • Silence the voices 10/5 (If you have the class mod which gives you 5 extra points you can do 500% More melee damage)
  • Release the beast 1/1 (Increases survivability and even more melee damage if you are lucky enough to get it at the perfect time)

You have 4 left over points, spend them where ever, EXCEPT BLOOD TRANCE.
Now to kill Pyro Pete
Step One: Get to Pyro Petes Bar and Activate the Raid Boss Outpost, this will cost you 8 Eridium.

Step Two: Shoot Pyro Pete Until you get 100 BL stacks, this will increase the damage of the bloodsplosion. If you have the slagga, slag Pyro pete quickly.


Step Three: If you have the rough Rider Tab in and equip it, Tab Out and tab in very quickly again, and re equip the basic shield, if you don't have the Rough Rider get Pyro pete to destroy your shield and most of your health (Until you get the red !)

Step Four: Throw 2 or more bouncing bonnies near the RAT sewer spawning Pipe, then hit the valve, and activate the rampage. This al must be done very quickly to maintain BL stacks So stay near this sewer pipe.

Step Five: Activate the Valve for the water and Immediately hit the first rat who should be under-leveled and slagged. The rat should explode from bloodsplosion, this explosion will kill the second rat dealing more damage, the third rat will then explode doing 999,999 K damage, the 4th RAT should do the same, make sure PP is very close when this happens, you will notice Pyro pete taking Multiple 999,99 K hits and his shield will melt and his health bar will collapse until Pyro Pete explodes himself, Well done, you instant killed Pyro pete.

Video:

In this video he uses spider-ant valve instead of Rats, I would avoid doing this if you are doing OP 8 as the 999,999 K wont be enough To kill him, the rats spawn 1 by one allowing multiple 999,999 K's to be delt which is enough to kill a lvl 82 PP. (I do not own this video, it belongs too and all credit is given too Dank Rafft https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk0Z-NiPFtaR02y011ERl5w )
Mechanics Explained
Because all enemies are slagged and in UVHM slagged enemies take 300% more damage instead of 200% from the other game modes this allows damage to escalate extremely quickly, Krieg can do Millions of damage with a single swing and having blood lust stacks ensures you do NOT lose damage each time a enemy blows up, thats how blood splosion works.

When an enemy is hit it will blow up dealing significantly more damage and can chain, due to the spawn rate of the enemies in the sewers this allows them to be easily chained until it deals the highest visible damage in game: 999,999k (the visual damage cap), that is 999,999,999 Damage, if you a using rats (which you should) pyro pete will take multiple 999,999 Ks which will simply demolish his health bar. I cannot stress enough that OP 8 pyro pete cannot die to a single 999,999K from the spider ants.

P.S, the damage it self can go much higher, 999,999K is only the visual damage cap.

If you have any questions ask in the comments or look at the FAQ.

Can I just use a low level slagga for this, as I don't have a nade like that?
「THE RABOTYAGA」 1 May, 2017 @ 8:18am 
Facinating! Where can I get dat nade?
Weirdaboo 27 Oct, 2016 @ 10:14pm 
I don't wanna be a noob but does anyone have a low level slag bouncing bonny
Rizzly 11 Aug, 2016 @ 7:50pm 
I wasn't sure how to do it exactly and this guide put me to the right direction, I was forgetting the 100 stacks for more bloodsplosion damage.

So yeah, I thought this was patched long ago but nope...It still works.

But I used an explosive build for that, with the Tasty Crunch mod, 30% explosive damage relic, Slagga for stacks...

but since I died 1 second before I meleed an enemy, I got into light the fuse and detonated it so it triggered mass explosions that way and it still counted :)

I was having issues reliably pulling off the bloodsplosion kills on PP. Though my build and a few pieces of gear are different, the method of nailing that first rat is working best for me. Thanks for the guide!

i added you for a disscuss
Diesel  [author] 29 Aug, 2014 @ 7:53pm 
@Suicide, I can happily dupe mine for it, it's level 60 so if you are level 72 it will do the trick.

Also changing it to say visual damage cap
Samurai/優雅な侍 29 Aug, 2014 @ 1:07pm 
does some one has this low level grenade?:D
queer jimbo, thembo 27 Aug, 2014 @ 4:00pm 
There is no damage cap in game. There is a visual damage cap of what it shows (you stated correctly it being 999,999k,) however there is no actual damage.
