If i left you out sorry, i was to engaged by Calculator's AWESOMENESS
Character Selection.
Every class has its ways of obliterating bosses, but salvador.... hes a different story. So what class shall i play in Borderlands 2? if you want to never die and be OP as Magic Gonads then choose Salvador simple. See Salvador can murder any boss, other characters can kill certain bosses instantly. (Psyco Bloodsplode Pete, Tediore Axton Hyperius and Vorac etc.) That is where Sal comes in.
Glossary
Normal Mode: First Playthrough
TVHM: True Vault Hunter Mode, Secound Playthrough
UVHM: Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, Third Playthrough (also the hardest)

Grenade Jump (or Nade Jump): a jump made with the help of a normal grenade (NO GRENADES EQUIPED) thrown infront of the character then jumping after the grenade bounces twice.

Moneyshot: a Gunzerker skill later shown in the Guide.

Off-hand: Left hand
On-hand: Right hand

On-host: your the host of your game.
Off-host: someone else is hosting.

Crit: Crit is a Critical hit that does bonus damage, this damage can increase depending what your gun is and/or BAR Stats are.

BAR: Bad As.s Rank (steam blocked A.s.s)

Proc: starting a event, skills or process. Example: When you use the last bullet in your gun you "Proc" moneyhot

DPS: Damage Per Secound, this term is in multiple games. Handy to know :)



Begining the Journey and Skill Specs
When you hit level 5 you will be able to unlock gunzerk.
NOTE: Your left hand is your Offhand, Your right is your Onhand
(Guns in the picture: Grog: offhand and Interfacer: onhand) When you offhand a gun the onhand gun will take on the effects of the gun in your offhand. Say having a Grog Nozzle and a Interfacer, the interfacer will heal you and will take on the drunk effect.
When you get to level 31 you want to have this skill spec.
When you get to Level 46 you want your skills set out like this. Now the fun can really begin.
This will be your endgame skill spec.
What do These Skills and Moneyshot do?
Your probably wondering why is sal so good? well this is the answer.
What is even more crazy is you can get class mods that boost it too 11/5

Inconceivable: This skill has a chance not waste ammo depending what your health and shield are at. This with moneyshot has a chance to not waste ammo on 0 ammo so the moneyshot can chain react. This is where the term moneyshot chain comes from, so you can rip appart bosses with moneyshot chains up to 20+!!! (880% Bonus damage for every moneyshot 880x20)
Maxium Moneyshot bonus damage you can get.

So now you know what a Moneyshot and Inconceivable are we can begin on the gear you will be needing.
This is a level 44 Trespasser. We are going to test what it can do with moneyshot.
Here is a normal shot.
Here is a Moneyshot.
Here is a Moneyshot with a critical.
This is a critical moneyshot with some slag. We have increased the damage of a total of 93,253. Now lets see what we can fully acheive with a bee shield
This is a Bee shield.
We hit a total of 106,934,000!
This is what you can do with moneyshot with the right equipment and abit of exploits :P 999,999,999 Also known as the damage cap.
The Gear
The Double Penetrating Unkempt Harold.... It shoots 14 projectiles, which works really well for moneyshot because every moneyshot goes into every bullet (880x14=12,320% bonus damage if all pellets land on the enemy)




Savage Lee drops the Ukempt Harold. Get the double prefix for the full effect (Double Penetrating) The drop chance is 3%

This is one of the locations Savage Lee can spawn.
Here is another location.

This is a torgue vendor any torgue legendary can spawn in the item of the day, including the Unkempt Harold.

The Grog Nozzle the bread and butter for Salvador.
The Grog Nozzle heals the player for 65% which is amazing when you wield it in your offhand.
The Grog Nozzle is a quest item
(IF YOU TURN IN THE QUEST YOU CANT GET IT BACK UNLESS YOU DUPE GIBBED VERSION OR YOU GIBB IT YOURSELF)




This is the area you can find the quest to get the Grog Nozzle "The Beard Makes The Man"
Wizard Claptrap has the quest.

The Ladyfist has a 800% Critical Damage buff. When you offhand the Ladyfist any gun in your onhand will get a 800% crit damage buff including the Ladyfist





Here is where the mission "Uncle Teddy" is found (The mission to get the Ladyfist DO NOT TURN INTO HYPERION)
Here is the bounty board where the mission is located at.

This is The Rough Rider the shield that makes sal what he is. Commonly used for high DPS when versing bosses. The Rough Rider is dropped by the Bulwork.





This is where you get the quest needed to spawn the Bulwork "Palling Around"

Location of where to get the mission.
Location of the Bulwork.

This is the Bulwork.
Choatic Evil Monk class mod, it is the highest DPS com for Salvador.
+6 Moneyshot
+5 Asbestos
Apparently the moneyshot is kind of broken and instead it gives 1056% damage increase






The Choatic Evil Monk can spawn in these chests scattered around in the Dragon's Keep DLC.


The Interfacer, the best shotgun to use as sal and maybe just the best weapon to use for moneyshot.






This is where Voracidous the Invincible is found.



You get this weapon from Voracidous the Invincible. The dickest of all bosses. hf gl.













Rocket Jumping
Rocket Jumping is very fun to do and also very helpful, when trying to get to places your not meant to be. This is the gear you will be needing.
The Badaboom. You can farm this from King Mong out in the Eridian Blight. NOTE: Get a low level Badaboom so you dont kill your self. So farm this in either Normal Mode or TVHM. (True Vault Hunter Mode) (NOTE you will need 2 to be twice as effective.) (you basically need it)
The next item is The Sham. You can get The Sham from the BNK-3R or from Pyro Pete the Invincible.
OPTIONAL. The only reason to get this bit of gear is toget a movement speed buff while gunzerking. Great if your Grenade Jumping while Rocket Jumping

This will be a picture tutorial on how to Rocket Jump (sorry if its abit bad)

Ok first of all get your Badabooms and Sham equiped.

Look at the ground and start running.
While your running jump and shoot both Badabooms. (Run jump then fire straight after you jump)







Im now going to show you what you can acheive with Rocket Jumping

This is the gear you want equiped.


This is a normal jump.


This was a Rocket Jump with ONE Badaboom


This was with two Badabooms.


This was with two Badabooms as well as two Grenade Jumps
Pimperhabing (Not advised, it makes the game EASY)
This section fo the guide is made for Pimperhabing, i dont recommend it for fun. I do recoommend it however for bosses you want to farm, that you can't beat legit.
I personally dont like using this, cause i like a element of challenge even though the gunzerker is the easiest class

First of all the gear!



You can get this from Master Gee the Invincible.



You can get this from the mission "Dont Copy That Floppy" in the Washburne Refinery.



OPTIONAL. This does help, this can be found through out Pandora!



You will need this for increased moneyshot damage, can be found in the chest mimics in Tina's DLC.



This can help with moneyshot chains for increased damage.




The Bee is also handy, Though i recommend the Rough Rider for max DPS.

Ok to start off you want your guns layed out like this.


Then waste all your rocket launcher ammo.

Then you want to hold your Ahab then gunzerk, this will merge the damage from your Ahab into your Pimpernel resulting in devastating results.


Now shoot your pimpernel, your done!

This is some of the damage you can deal.

oh ok thanks

If you offhand it, it heals from both of the guns you shoot
Nediak 10 Jan, 2016 @ 7:02pm 
how is the grog nozzle supposed to heal you? it doesnt do very much damage
Sandwich²  [author] 15 Aug, 2015 @ 8:36pm 
ahh ok
chaosmercenary 15 Aug, 2015 @ 7:35pm 
no, not at all -- I hear youre supposed to rocket jump to get to high places ... so i was expecting pictures of you up in the air looking down or getting to saturn without the elevator.... the way you did it, I have no idea how that would translate into horizontal

also I got confused how pimerhabing works -- maybe you should highlight that its a glitch and not some genius meld of the two guns' abilities

just thought I'd let you know though there's no need to change things since its such an old game.
Sandwich²  [author] 6 Apr, 2015 @ 12:17am 
I thought it was clear to see how far you jumped with the jumps i did.
Sakabato 5 Apr, 2015 @ 9:53pm 
You've shown how far people can get away from each other with the badabooms. It is difficult to gauge because it is horizontal and not vertical. Have another player come into your game. Capture a shot of the character at the height of a normal jump. Then have him equip the badabooms. Capture a shot of that character at the height on one badaboom. Then capture a shot of the character with two badabooms, and so on.

Thanks, im getting confused of what people think about the Badaboom section :/
Sakabato 5 Apr, 2015 @ 1:19am 
Overall, a great guide for gunzerker attributes. One comment is the badaboom pictures are misleading. It is easier to understand if you capture a view of the other character when he shoots at the ground. The height that he gains normal, then with one rocket, then with two rockets, and with grenades can be easier to discern. But overall, a great guide and thorough on the what and where of weapons.
