    Sacridfire's Death from Above Build (Sniper of Zer0)

    Another build for Zer0, this time for snipers. The goal here is to get as many Critical Hits as possible to rapidly increase damage, but at the same time you want to reload between every shot to keep your damage increase from 0ne Sh0t 0ne Kill. To make up for the constant reloading Gearbox has decided to give Zer0 a ton of reload speed increasing talents. To effectively use this build you want at least two accurate snipers, one for long range (higher zoom scope) and one for short range (low zoom scope) The most important factors when choosing a sniper rifle are the damage, reload speed, and fire rate (In that order). Clip Size won't matter since you will be reloading between almost every shot. Another thing to remember is to use Deception to find an enemies weak spot the first time you encounter them.

    1. Headsh0t is a passive Crit Damage bonus. Man Zer0 has alot of simple talents!
    2. Optics increases zoom by up to 15%. 15% more zoom means 15% bigger heads to target.
    3. Killer. Grants crit damage and reload speed when you get a kill. Good on its own better with 0ne Sh0t 0ne Kill.
    4. Precision grants up to 25% more Accuracy. Nobody likes missing so miss less with this.
    5. 0ne Sh0t 0ne Kill. This here be the center of the build. The first bullet of every clip has up to 60% increased damage, sounds amazing on its own and gets better the more Crit Damage % you have.
    6. B0re is taken not for the piercing but to discover where weak spots are on your opponents. The piercing is still nice though.
    7. Vel0city increases Bullet Speed which is a must have for long range shots. The faster the bullet travels the less time they have to dodge it. It also increases damage and crit damage.
    8. Kill C0nfirmed grants bonus crit damage when using scopes/sights. The longer you stay zoomed the more damage you do (In case you need to pop off multiple shots in a row instead of reloading in between shots).
    9. At 0ne with the gun is taken almost entirely for the Reload Speed. You should rarely be firing a sniper rifle from the hip.
    10. Critical Ascensi0n is just plain overkill. Every critical hit you get gives 6% crit damage and 5% normal damage per stack. *Pause for dramatic effect* It stacks up to 999 times for a maximum of 5994% Crit damage and 4995% normal damage.

    1. Fast hands is the only other choice that you can access that does anything at all for a sniper. Increased reload speed gives more shots with 0ne Sh0t 0ne Kill.
