N-radiated Ego
Science maxed and speech set to pass any check in the game. Maximizes use of gas energy deflection apparatus paired with tutelary impact converter on helmet. N-ray perk from science lets you melt any enemy at higher levels! Last Whisper shotgun(fire), Goomerang(corrosive) and Feedback Cannon(electrical) are my weapons. Goomerang is ridiculous. Any armor and helmet. Marisol is a good paired companion. Your shield can also reflect dmg with one of her perks.
