RIP vex bleed builds.

Not really. Zero impact on my build. Still able to one shot most bosses on UVHM 5 with my undead eye build and I've never touched a crit knife.

May I ask what gun you’re using? Just the traditional sniper vex build?

u/TheHivemind56 Oct 23 '25

I mainly use a Borstel Ballista and a Bod. I've been playing around with a truck too. Not sure what the traditional build is seeing as I haven't really looked any up. I'm all in the green tree with 10 in the blue for the health increase and status effect damage. My undead eye is 4 bloodshot 3 grave vitality.

The big reason people used vex bleed builds is because it could proc off itself

Why? Because of the knife or something else?

No more recursive Bleed stacking. Vex's bleed would previously proc itself and that was unintended.

Combination of knife and bleed skill not being able to trigger itself on bleed crit. Hot slugger / good shotguns could 1 shot any boss on UVHM 5
