Whether you're a newcomer to Borderlands 2, playing the assassin character, Zero, for the first time, or just looking for some better builds to get the most out of combat, this article will help. I've listed my four favorite builds for Zero, each focused on a particular skill. They are:
Sniper: The best build for distance shooting and critical hit damage.
Slice and Dice: The best build for melee action. The more enemies, the better!
Close Range + Balanced: This build allows for both close and long-range combat.
Shotgun: Combines Zero's snazzy assassin skills with epic shotgun abilities.
Build 1: Sniper
This is the most effective sniper build in Borderlands 2. It has easy critical hits, especially with Bore (TIER 3) revealing enemy critical spots. It also delivers plenty of critical hit damage bonus, resulting in lots of damage given and not much taken. The Critical Ascensi0n (TIER 6) skill also provides for ridiculous damage when facing bosses with big Crit spots.
Build 1: Sniper
Note: Skills in bold are more important in each build.
Tier 1
Headsh0t 5/5: Crit Hit Damage +20%
Ir0n Hand 5/5: Melee Damage +15%, Max Health +15%
Tier 2
Killer 5/5: Killing an enemy gives Crit Hit Damage +50% and Reload Speed +75% for a few seconds
Precisi0n 3/5: Accuracy +15%
Grim 5/5: Killing an enemy regenerates +3.5% of your shield per second as well as Deception Cool Rate +7.5% for a few seconds
Tier 3
B0re 1/1: Shots pierce through enemies and deal +100% damage, Enemy crit spots are shown when Deception is active
Vel0city 5/5: Bullet Speed +100%, Critical Hit Damage +15%, Gun Damage +10%
F0ll0wthr0ugh 5/5: Killing an enemy increases Movement Speed +40%, Gun Damage +30%, and Melee Damage +40% for a few seconds
Tier 4
Kill C0nfirmed 5/5: Aiming down sights grants up to Crit Hit Damage +40% the longer you aim
Tier 5
At One with the Gun 5/5: Sniper Hip-Shot Accuracy +125%, Sniper Reload Speed +50%, Sniper Mag Size +5
Critical Ascensi0n 1/1: Scoring a Crit Hit with a Sniper Rifle increases Crit Hit Damage +6% and Damage +5%, stacks up to 999 times and slowly decays.
Build 2: Slice and Dice
Fast and deadly, this build includes skills such as Execute (TIER 3), making Zero a much more exciting melee character compared to Borderland 1’s Berserker. Endless melee bonuses and Many Must Fall (TIER 6) make staying cloaked and killing many, many enemies easy.
Build 2: Slice and Dice
Tier 1
C0unter Strike 5/5: Counter Strike Damage +250%
Ir0n Hand 5/5: Melee Damage +15%, Max Health +15%

Tier 4
Innervate 2/5: When Deception is active, Gun Damage +4%, Regenerate Health +1.6% per second, Movement Speed +14%
Resurgence 5/5: Killing an enemy with a melee attack restores up to +20% of your health; lower health = more restoration
Tier 5
Like the Wind 5/5: When moving, Gun Damage +15%, Melee Damage +15%
Tier 6
Many Must Fall 1/1: Killing an enemy with a melee attack while in Deception causes you to re-stealth and add time to Deception’s duration
Build 3: Close Range + Balanced
This build is geared towards those who want to use Zero for close quarters combat, combining non-sniper gun damage with Deception and Execute (TIER 3). Velocity (TIER 3) and F0ll0wthr0ugh (TIER 3) both give very solid weapon DPS bonuses. If you want to use guns but don’t want to give up Zero’s snazzy skills, this build is for you.
Build 3: Close Ranged + Balanced
Tier 1
Headsh0t 5/5: Crit Hit Damage +20%
Fast Hands 5/5: Reload Speed +25%, Weapon Swap Speed +50%

Execute 1/1- A lunge melee attack from within 3 meters that does massive damage
Build 4: The Zero Shotgun Build
This build is for players who don’t want to give up the aforementioned snazzy Assassin skills but still want to use shotguns. You’re going to be up close after using Death Bl0ss0m (TIER 6) and Execute (TIER 3) anyway, so why not use shotguns? Tw0 Fang (TIER 5) is particularly effective with shotguns; every 10 clip magazine basically shoots 13 bullets.
Build 4: Zero Shotgun. Assassinating has never been so loud
Tier 1
Headsh0t 2/5: Crit Hit Damage + 8%
Fast Hands 5/5: Reload Speed +25%, Weapon Swap Speed +50%

Tier 6
Death Bl0ss0m 1/1: When in Deception, throw a handful of kunai that will explode for random elemental damage. You can throw 5 kunai and it doesn’t bring you out of Deception.
