Moze is a playable Vault Hunter and known as the Gunner class in Borderlands 3. This former Vladof soldier still knows how to bury her enemies in an avalanche of lead, and if she needs to step things up, Moze can digi-struct a giant mech that’s equipped with various devastating weaponry.
Once a soldier in the Vladof army’s Ursa Corps, Moze left their service to pursue her own mercenary interests and hunt for Vaults. When the going gets tough, she can use her digistruct pack to summon her heavy mech “Iron Bear” and face down an army without flinching, using powerful mounted weapons to mow the opposition down. A veteran of wars from across the six galaxies, Moze and Iron Bear are a force to be reckoned with.
Moze is a battle-hardened former Vladof army soldier who specializes in mechanized combat. She uses an action skill to digistruct and climb into her bipedal tank, Iron Bear, which has hardpoints suitable for mixing, matching, and mounting high-velocity Railguns, rapid-firing Miniguns, semi-automatic Grenade Launchers, flamethrowers, pneumatic fists, and homing rocket launchers.
Moze’s main Action Skill is the giant mech – Iron Bear – that can equip two devastating weapons. Each weapon can be augmented with new combat mechanics through her Skill Trees.
Cooldown: 100 Seconds when using Iron Bear for the full duration. It’s only 35 seconds when instantly exiting Iron Bear.
The Minigun is capable of sustained rapid fire. Firing for long periods causes the Minigun to overheat, rendering it inoperable for a few seconds.
The V-35 is a semi-automatic grenade launcher. Its grenades are not affected by Moze’s equipped grenade mod.
The Railgun fires electrified high-velocity projectiles that deal Shock Damage.
Moze summons the Iron Cub companion in place of Iron Bear. Iron Cub equips two of whatever weapon is equipped in the remaining Action Skill slot. While deployed, Iron Cub follows Moze and will target and attack enemies for the duration.
Skills that affect Iron Bear affect Iron Cub. Iron Cub still uses Fuel, but uses less of it and deals less damage (because it’s smaller).
Note: Iron Cub is part of the Designer’s Cut DLC
Moze’s Bottomless Mags skill tree focuses on shooting and sustaining that. There are multiple ways to extend the size of your gun’s magazine and refill it.
Moze’s Demolition Woman skill tree focuses on doing splash damage by increasing the size and damage output of explosions for both Moze and Iron Bear. There are skills that increase the longevity that Moze can stay alive, prolonging the time she has in Fight For Your Life and increasing the fuel capacity for Iron Bear. A noteworthy perk is that there is a skill that allows Iron Bear to act on its own as a sentry turret.
Moze’s Shield of Retribution skill tree is a risk and reward tree. There are a lot of skills that keep you in the fight, however, the closer you are to dying, the more damage you can do. So, do you like living on the edge?
The Bear Mother skill tree really wants you to double down on using incendiary weapons, as igniting enemies will trigger multiple skills. While some skills trigger when applying a status effect, there are a few that trigger when using incendiary weapons. The Capstone skill will cause your Iron Cub not to consume fuel, which will result in it lasting longer on the battlefield. This has great synergy with an augment that gives you increased damage for every second Iron Cub stays in action. Having multiple weapons with the same element can also stack damage.
