What this is
A fast, fun, and filthy-strong Cryo setup for Whistler’s Maw focused on Amon — built around the Scourge to freeze, shred, and control the battlefield with style. Play smart: proc Cryo, kite into cover, and watch enemies turn into brittle targets while your team finishes them off. Perfect for solo runs or chaotic co-op chaos. ❄️⚔️
Why Scourge for Amon Cryo
The Scourge’s damage-over-time and DOT arc make it ideal for locking Amon into Cryo status and keeping him staggered while you stack freezing debuffs. It lets you maintain Cryo uptime without having to be glued to his hitbox, giving room for movement, heals, and revives. Use alternating burst shots to apply Cryo then swap to high-burst for follow-up damage. 🎯
How to play casually
• Start by applying Scourge Cryo ticks from a safe flank.
• Move when Amon telegraphs big attacks, then reapply Cryo to interrupt and control.
• Use cover to bait adds, let Cryo do the crowd control, and finish with heavy bursts.
• Keep gear that boosts Cold effect chance and status duration, and lean into shields that regenerate fast. 🛡️
Vibe
This build is about clean freezes, clutch plays, and cinematic takedowns — messy in the best way. Throw on some lo-fi beats and make Amon your ice sculpture. 🎧❄️

01:13Anyway, Borderlands, boy, I'm going to stream this for you guys, but that answer is my streaming
01:19software and OBS.
01:20No, yeah, my streaming software and Borderlands do not get along.
01:24Do not get along.
01:25It's one or the other.
01:25They're like, nope, I'm the one that's out.
01:27Nope, I'm the one that's out.
01:28One's running.
01:29The other one does not want to participate.
01:30So, yeah, let's get it.
01:33Let's get it.
01:34But I'm going to be dropping content like this for you guys.
01:36You want to do this?
01:37We're doing this.
01:38What is it?
01:39We're doing this mine today.
01:42Let's go.
01:42I forgot the name of it, but let's go.
01:45Let me get through all of this for you real quick.
01:47This is my new build-off cryo.
01:50Link in the description.
01:51Link in the description.
01:54And if you're a Borderlands player like me, you want to hop in, hop in, let me know.
01:59Follow me on Life is Real TV, Xbox, Steam everywhere.
02:03Primarily Xbox.
02:04It's easier for me to communicate that way.
02:09Let's get it.
02:10Let's get it.
02:11Sit down.
02:12Sit down.
02:13Hey, man, God damn why he died, bro.
02:18Let's go.
02:20Freezing everybody to death over here, baby.
02:23Freezing everybody to death.
02:25Ah, where you going?
02:26Still stuck in place, ain't you?
02:28Still stuck in place.
02:29Let's go.
02:36No serve.
02:37No serve.
02:38He thought he had it.
02:39He thought he had it.
02:41Keep it going.
02:41Keep it going.
02:42Oh, look at the big boy right there.
02:44I thought I killed him.
02:46Well, apparently not.
02:46But he down right now.
02:47He down right now.
02:49Sit down.
02:50Let's go.
02:52Let's go.
02:52Hey, look at him just trying to show back there.
02:54No serve.
02:55You thought you got a sight on me?
02:56Sit down.
02:57No serve.
02:59I didn't go to assault rifle on your ass.
03:01You had a little bit too much of a distance.
03:02And you, I'm going to pop, pop.
03:04Sit down.
03:05All right, let's get ready to go next door real quick.
03:07Hold on.
03:07Let me make sure this area is clear and I ain't leave no treasures, ladies and gentlemen.
03:12All right, that's cryo.
03:13Look at me going to go with that.
03:15All right.
03:16So let's keep it pushing.
03:17Let's keep it pushing.
03:19Hey, man.
03:20If you're a gate up in here, how y'all feel about that firing of Billy Napier?
03:23And what do you feel about who our next coach should be?
03:26Everybody saying Lane Kiffin.
03:28I don't doubt Lane Kiffin.
03:29My only issue is, bro, every time when it matters, Lane sends to choke.
03:36And, yeah, we'll get to the playoffs, but I don't know about winning at all.
03:40How does it really make y'all feel?
03:41The man y'all fired is now 6-0.
03:44I did not agree with Billy Napier.
03:45I mean, not Billy Napier, but damn only getting fired, ladies and gentlemen.
03:49I don't know why they did that, but it is what it is.
03:52It is what it fucking is.
03:53Let me touch this off a little bit of this thing.
03:57In my face.
04:02All right.
04:06Yeah, that's over there right there.
04:08That's probably going to be a problem.
04:10Got to make sure I watch that.
04:15Somebody over there.
04:16We got to be careful.
04:17Ride the edge real quick so we have some type of cover if they start busting at us.
04:23All right.
04:28No sirski.
04:30No sirski.
04:32I hear that music.
04:34Where the fuck are they at?
04:35Look at this.
04:35Who the fuck?
04:36Where is he at?
04:38Did y'all just hear them footsteps?
04:39That panning was crazy.
04:41Left, center, right.
04:42Left, center, right.
04:43Oh, there you go.
04:43Right there.
04:44Sit down.
04:45Sit down.
04:46Another good shot.
04:48Let's go.
04:49I'll whip that one.
04:54Whip that one.
04:55Let's go.
04:56Need a critical.
04:58There we go.
05:03There we go.
05:03Efficiency kicked in.
05:09And you sit down.
05:11That's why I like the sniper rifle.
05:12When you get critical hits on it, it does some damage.
05:15You got to take your time with it.
05:16Sometimes you run in it like a shotgun, like right here.
05:20See what I'm saying?
05:21Get around that.
05:22Cut through their little shields.
05:27Come on.
05:28Yeah, there we go.
05:28Give me that.
05:29Give me that.
05:29Give me that.
05:30Sit down.
