Buy Borderlands 4 Contracts

In the previous Borderlands series of games, Sirens has always been one of the best classes chosen by the most players, and this tradition is also the case in the recently launched Borderlands 4. Vex is the resident Siren in this new game, so both newcomers and veterans prefer to start their exploration with this character.

However, it must be pointed out that Borderlands 4 is an action-playing game, so while focusing on shooting, you should also select some appropriate skills, weapons, and gear for it during the exploration process to make your character more combat-effective.

Since there are currently many build options available to you in the game, in order to save you the time and effort of trying them one by one, here are some options for the best Vex build, including skills, weapons, and gear. Of course, these can be modified according to your play style, and everything is based on your gaming convenience.

Skills

The first type of option we’d like to introduce is skills. Based on player feedback, allowing Vex to fully utilize elemental and status effect damage is the easiest way to build a strong skill tree. Although both effects can be achieved by using any of 3 Action Skills, it is highly recommended that you make corresponding adjustments based on the weapons you choose later.

For example, if you are using corrosive damage-dealing weapons, then Dead Ringer Action Skill and some skills in its tree are perfect pairings with such weapons because they maximize the potential of status effect damage.

The best skills recommended for you on Dead Ringer skill tree are Portents of Suffering and Prismatic Ichor, which are more suitable for early game content for emphasizing and enhancing Status Effect damage; Blight Attunement and Necrosis, which can enhance your Corrosive emphasis in the endgame.

Don’t forget to use Wither as your Augment and place Grim Reaper in your Capstone skill slot, both of which can further enhance your status effect damage. In the endgame, unlock as many Killer branches as possible, with Killer, Contamination, Compounding Afflictions, and Overkill being worth your special attention.

If you want Status Effect boosts, consider digging into other skill trees. For example Incarnate’s Bloodletter skill is a good option. It should be noted that since this skill tree may be different from Vex’s in terms of exploration style or combat style, if you want to make it more suitable for your needs, remember to invest more Borderlands 4 Money in it to upgrade it.

Weapons

Once you’ve settled on your skill choices, your weapon options are pretty obvious: Ripper or Maliwan Corrosive guns, both of which deal significant elemental and status effect damage, and maximize the scaling of Vex’s Corrosive effects. However, since the drop rate of these two weapons in the game is relatively low, you need to farm as many times as possible in zones that can provide you with weapon item rewards.

In terms of priority, Ripper SMGs are the first choice. Although the Ripper shotgun, pistol, and sniper rifle have high strength in looting and shooting, they are not perfectly adapted to every battle, that is, their versatility is not that high, so they can be used as your auxiliary weapons. Or if possible, Heavy Weapon Ordnance, which can cause Corrosive damage, is also an option worth trying.

By the way, Corrisive elements of Vex builds will quickly deplete the enemy’s health, so generally speaking, regular firearms are enough to make you powerful. However, in some special cases, such as when you encounter an enemy that is immune or has high health, it is recommended that you convert one of them into an alternative weapon with a different status effect.

Gear

As for the Gear options introduced to you at the end, generally speaking, try to choose those that can synergize with other build options such as weapons or skills, such as Ripper Enhancement or Maliwan Enhancement, which can complement any weapon you end up using.

Additionally, you should try to pick Class Mods that improve your skills, such as those that greatly enhance Portents of Suffering, Blight Attunement, and Necrosis. While your Repkit and Armor Shield won’t have a huge impact on the effectiveness of your build, they shouldn’t be chosen haphazardly.

You should focus on Repkits with Elemental Affinity and/or Status Effect-boosting features, as well as shields that make your elemental resistances stronger. As well as Phase Clone Minions, it will be more suitable for use in single-player games, because they can act as turrets to provide support and can also be used to irritate enemies in encounters and transfer damage that would otherwise be inflicted on you to them, giving you some breathing space during the campaign.

The above are the various recommended options for the best Vex builds in Borderlands 4. Hopefully, with their help, you can complete the entire campaign faster and get more loot and experience points to achieve a rise in the rankings and gain honor. I wish you happy gaming!
