Overview
This concise Gunzerker’s guide will help you to deal massive damages using dual pistols (Maximum pistol damage & fire rate). Even ultimate vault hunter mode won’t be much of a challenge when you follow the guide.
1. Skill Build
This skill build is mainly about Gun Lust skill tree since the purpose of this guide is to increase damage and fire rate. I have put full points in the most important skills.
ATTENTION: Adjust your points in “Filled to the Brim” skill of Rampage tree so that your DP Unkempt Harold can fire full last round (6 ammo). For example: My DP unkempt harold has 28 magazine capacity and 2 points in “Filled to the Brim” increases it to 30 capacity and 6 ammo is fired as the last round from magazine.
Down Not Out is a must have skill because it allows you to gunzerk in Fight For Your Life
Gun Lust Tree
Because Gunzerker deals most damage when gunzerking and you want to gunzerk as long as possible, Last Longer skill should be maxed.
Rampage
At least one point in Hard to Kill skill is useful when you use Titan or Legendary Berserker mods. Incite skill increases your movespeed and reload speed whenever you take damage from enemies. It’s your choice to decide how many points for Incite.
Brawn
At lv61 you get 57 skill points total; which allows you to go down into 2 skill trees.
LV61 Skill Build
The important skills are with green border. You can spend the rest of the points for whichever skills.
LV72 Skill Build
2. Guns
You can use any pistols you want, but I highly recommend “DP Unkempt Harold” as it is the strongest pistol right now. it’ll only use 1 or 2 magazines to kill a superbadass when you follow this guide. EXPLOSIONS!!!
(Rare drop from Pyro Pete or Purchase from Torgue vending machine)
Harold
A slag pistol is also very effective off-hand weapon since slagged enemies now take x3 damage instead of x2. Slag Rubi is my favorite pistol because it has high slag chance and 12% health steal based on damage dealt.
(Rakkaholics Anonymous mission reward)
Rubi
Grog Nozzle is an alternative choice if you don’t have Rubi. It has 65% health steal and makes you drunk sometimes( guns will fire more bullets per shot while drunk). This gun is available only when “The Beard Makes the Man” mission of Tiny Tina’s DLC is active. So if you want to keep the gun, don’t complete the mission.

3. Relic
The relic you will be using is “Sheriff’s Badge”

4. Class Mod
Most of you know about Legendary Berserker mod, but it is not always the best class mod for Salvador. I recommend 5 different legendary, purple or blue class mods, and you can switch between them depending on different situations. I prefer blue mods over purple mods because of 6 skill points instead of 5. The prefix of the mods are variant, but the pictures show the best versions for this build.
(Random drop from badass enemies, bosses and weapon chests)
Greatly increases Pistol damage and Pistol Reload speed (Due to improving I’m Your Huckleberry skill)
Renegade Mod
Renegade blue
Regenerates all ammo except rockets. Useful when you’re running out of ammo. Legendary Hoarder Mod is better than any other variant and is available by purchasing ultimate vault hunter upgrade pack 2.

Hoarder Blue
Gives more survivability but also increases gun damage. Legendary titan mod is better than any other variant and is available by purchasing ultimate vault hunter upgrade pack 2.

Titan blue
Try to get the “Auspicious Raider” version. This mod gives Money shot skill points in addition to the points you invested. When Money Shot skill is maxed, you will deal up to 880% bonus damage with the last round fired from magazine.
Raider Mod
Raider blue
P.S. Money Shot skill doesn’t apply to infinity pistol
Adds points in Money Shot skill. Also gives more critical damage and constant fire rate. (Drops from badass enemies or chests in Tiny Tina’s DLC)
This mod or Auspicious Raider is the best choice when fighting raid bosses because your last magazine round will deal massive damage to their faces (usually critical spot).
Chaotic Evil Monk
5. Shield
There’s no specific shield I would recommend for this build. But my favorite shields are The Sham, Evolution, Hide of Terramorphous, and Inflammable the Bee (Fire immune).
And special mention goes to Rough Rider shield. It has 0 capacity therefore gives your shots chance to not consume ammo due to “Inconceivable” skill. (drops from The Bulwark bullymong in Hunter’s Grotto).

6. Grenade Mod
You can equip any grenade mod, but I recommend a singularity grenade which pulls enemies to the center of explosion. Then blow them up into pieces with DP Unkempt Harolds
Quasar
Also a slag grenade is very useful since you can deal x3 damage to slagged enemies.
