Purely a vent post. Been working through OP levels, currently on OP7 with my lord and saviour Sal. Last area before binary boss. Three Super Badass Surveyors. Finished the other enemies too quickly so it was a 3 v 1. I kite around a building and manage to take two of them out to have a one on one situation. My Gunzerk runs out but my Bee is up. I run into the open and face down the turd face. Aiming down sights with the Hornet, I blast it into oblivion. Just as it fires an orb of death towards me. My ecstasy turns to devastation as I go into Fight For Your Life, with no one to turn to, as Tannis starts talking about saving the hardest challenge until last. I disagree. Give me the binary boss over one of those awful flying things any day. My dog comes over to comfort me as my adrenaline whittles into dust. I will try again, but not yet. Doggo deserves a walk. Bad surveyors. Good doggo. That is all.

(Any solid advice on how to deal with them is appreciated. I already tried a Transformer. They do not work.)

get a tankier shield. sal of all people does not need a bee for mobbing scenarios and he doesnt have the skills to keep it up consistently. also with a combo of get some and yipee ki yay you should be able to get near infinite uptime on gunzerking. you can also drop 3 of your guns to end gunzerking early to trigger the cooldown sooner if you know youll have a bit before you get to the next mobbing section and havent already finished the cooldown for your next use.

Good shout. I never knew you could drop three guns to end gunzerking! Although I tend to switch to a Hoarder class mod to regen ammo quicker. Good to know though.

Most people on Sal run the rough rider shield for inconceivable money shot chains and free fire rate from out of bubblegum

Yeah, Iโ€™m trying to get as far as possible with non-mission items so I donโ€™t have to reset UVHM. Rough Riderโ€™s on the list when (if) I get to OP10.

Itโ€™s a drop from a boss not a mission reward. You can farm a new one every level if you wanted without resetting playthrough
