How rare is that gun usually?

craggy cradle
#

Iirc it's like 1/100 for any pearl drop at level 80

tawdry shell
#

1/100 sounds way too high

craggy cradle
#

For avenger specifically there are 8 gen 1 pearls which can world drop so around 1/800

atomic edge
#

Oh wtf I got a fire logans gun but it's 2 damn levels underlevelled

atomic edge
craggy cradle
#

Also note the odds are affected by your level, 80 has the best chances for pearls

atomic edge
#

...sir there's been a 2nd giant Wilhelm...

craggy cradle
#

At level 50 (the minimum for world drop pearls) you have such ridiculously low odds it's comparable to things like PokeRus and shinies in Pokemon

#

The game will prioritize ammo types you're running low on

#

If a gun starts falling behind on higher difficulties when most other options don't I say it isn't "bonkers"

gritty yarrow
#

anyone has tips on how to kill sledge before i go in?

fair igloo

#

Well, it is true 100% of the time. Doesn't mean you'll get a bunch of the ammo types you need 100% of the time, but at 33% or less of max ammo capacity they start dropping and/or appearing in lootables like crazy.

peak ether
#

The second you start getting low on a specific ammo type the chances of getting it shoot up noticably

#

The only weapon type this doesn't happen with are rockets

neon ingot

#

Finally got Quick Charge

#

Wow not having it was painful

i did say the loot sources start getting stingy

aka times when the boosted chances aren't doing shit

Eh, doesn't matter in the end. This game isn't the most punishing in most regards.

tender aspen
peak ether
#

I'm honestly just gonna drop this truth nuke

#

Axton > Sal

#

No I will not elaborate

fair igloo
peak ether
#

It doesn't

#

I'm just a mediocre player that knows a lot about the game

fair igloo
#

statistically yes, they don't get stingy, but in reality they do bc statistics don't dictate reality

#

just because it's more likely doesn't mean it always does

violet spear
#

The statistics absolutely do dictate reality in this case. You must be crazy unlucky because I actively have never been denied ammo for more than two ammo boxes in a row.

fair igloo
#

i've had my smg ammo reach 70s and then opened 5 boxes and only get rifle ammo from all

#

yes, i am unlucky when it comes to this shit

#

this is why i use absorb shields, but i still run out

neon ingot

Because if it was Bandit that might explain why it felt weak

Not great

maliwan

Then idfk what you did wrong

#

Maliwan ones are possibly the second best

fair igloo

how i'm supposed to shot with that?

peak ether
#

Infinity is mid anyways

#

But if you have SLF on Gaige you can't shoot it

#

like a troll

#

because it says 1

#

but i got 0

peak ether
#

Your skills

#

Smaller Lighter Faster lowers your mag size

neon ingot
#

good to know the game approximate by defect

peak ether
#

You aren't missing out on much

fair igloo
#

there's a class mod that nullifies the effect

fair igloo
peak ether
#

Wait a second

fair igloo
#

but that doesn't change the fact the one i had was straight ass

peak ether
#

Were we even talking about the same gun

#

Where did you get yours

neon ingot
fair igloo
#

loot train

peak ether
#

With neutral prefix

#

Gives mag size

#

One of Gaige's best but doesn't change the Infinity's status on her

#

It's still meh

#

And the fact you can't reload it makes it loss points

violet spear
fair igloo
#

oh i'm dyslexic again

#

that's fun

peak ether
#

Wdym

#

If you say you're talking about a Maliwan E Tech pistol I'm gonna fucking laugh

violet spear
#

Dart slander?

peak ether
#

Miss me with that shit

#

You ain't catching me dead with an E Tech pistol in my hands

violet spear
#

Counterpoint I'm shooting through Ion Loader shields with that shit.

fair igloo
#

i like darts, but they're kinda weak compared to alternatives

#

atleast it's not spiker

violet spear
#

Weaker comparatively? Yes. Fun? Absolutely.

#

At least until UVHM.

peak ether
#

Counter counter point

#

Wanderlust

violet spear
#

Wanderlust for when I wanna not have fun. Good point.

fair igloo
#

i cannot for the life of me find enjoyment in using spikers, they're just darts without the homing property

peak ether
#

But were they what you thought I was talking about when I said plasma casters

fair igloo
#

?

violet spear
#

I find Spikers fun too. Using guns for the rule of cool really increases my enjoyment of these games.

peak ether
#

Saying plasma casters are ass is just something I refuse to believe without hard evidence because all signs point to them being really good

fair igloo
#

they're ass for my purposes and playstyle

violet spear
#

Does your playstyle involve... not shooting the enemy?

fair igloo
#

i can understand why they'd be good, but i prefer blasters

#

they're more my style

fair igloo
#

depends on how i'm feeling

violet spear
#

Were you using that Plasma Caster while using a playstyle where not shooting was a primary point?

peak ether
#

Or was it slag

fair igloo
#

no i was actually pretty excited to try it out after reading about it on the wiki but after i used it i deemed that it is ass, it couldn't kill anything and had absolutely horrible spread

fair igloo
peak ether
#

Oh

#

Yeah I can see why now

#

That explains everything

peak ether
#

They're honestly fine

#

I'd much rather use other ARs

fair igloo
#

see

#

i know the damage of blasters is slow

peak ether
#

But there's way worse options

fair igloo
#

but i like watching my enemies struggle, and i know i won't be able to do that in the higher levels bc high damage is required, so i prefer blasters bc they kill slower and let me enjoy the hunt

peak ether
#

If you get an E Tech SMG that's not slag and or Bandit try it again

#

It'll be better

fair igloo
#

it's for the fun of the game

peak ether
#

Preferably not Dahl either

#

Dahl SMGs are uh

fair igloo
#

i don't touch smgs unless they're maliwan

peak ether
#

Pretty meh and the E Tech barrel helps but it's still a Dahl

peak ether
fair igloo
#

this is a preference i developed back in my hundreds of hours of playing 1 bc i was too poor to get the rest of the games

peak ether
#

Let me guess

#

Hellfire

fair igloo
#

no, but i grew attached to the blue and red design of fire smgs

peak ether
#

Hyperion and Bandit are actually the best non E Tech non unique SMGs

#

But when E Tech barrels get factored in Bandit drops to dead last

#

And Maliwan becomes second best

fair igloo
#

i kept getting legendary assault rifles, shotguns and revolvers, i literally did not get any other legendaries

peak ether
#

Idk why but Gbx fucking hated Bandit E Techs

#

Bandit launchers?

#

Best normal non uniques

#

Worst E Techs

#

It's weird

fair igloo
#

bombabarbardeer solo'd my first ever warden fight

peak ether
#

However the Bandit E Tech shotgun is really fucking good on Krieg specifically

#

Because Krieg is just weird like that

fair igloo
#

i got it from the trunk chest at the starting half of the ramparts

peak ether
#

Some pretty bad guns magically become good in his hands

#

And that's like the biggest example of that happening

fair igloo
peak ether
#

Retcher should be good on him too but I don't have one to test

#

Splat guns are probably the worst E Techs though

fair igloo
#

just not a big fan of characters like krieg and brick as playable characters bc their melee based action skill doesn't suit me all that much

peak ether
#

And I think they're pure launcher splash so Axton can't do anything to help them

fair igloo
#

that's why i love summoners, they're more versatile

peak ether
fair igloo
#

i retired as a lilith main bc my playstyle had shifted so much to the point that i couldn't bring the most out of her skill

peak ether
#

So I don't really have a main but I tend to play already flexible characters slightly more

fair igloo
#

now my main shifts between roland and mordecai based on my mood

peak ether
#

Probably why Sal is misery for me

#

He's the VH I actively perform the worst on despite his mega baby easy mode reputation

fair igloo
#

i like sal, currently i'm trying to only use double dpuh

#

essentially qpuh

peak ether
#

Okay so about that

#

If you have Nklok on Sal

#

Dpuh is the worst possible version meez

#

I oftentimes say I hate Sal but I honestly just hate looking at his skill tree

fair igloo
#

i'm going rampage and brawn

eager laurel
#

Also you’re better off with a stat stick in your offhand instead of running two harolds

peak ether
#

Like why is it like that

#

Who tf designed this character

eager laurel
#

alright

fair igloo
#

quad penetrating sal

peak ether
#

Sal just has so many design oversights and quirks that he's just

#

Cursed

copper wasp
#

He literally breaks the game

fair igloo
#

cursed you say? ig i'll add bane to the challenge once i get there

copper wasp
#

Because there's no way to fix all those oversights and bugs without changing how the engine applies certain effects to your weapons

#

And that's something that probably only could've been fixed prior to release

peak ether
#

He is mad fun to play though

#

I feel like I'm playing Doom as him because his in tree healing sucks so you're forced to use moxxi guns or transfusions to stay alive so you're playing super aggressively

tender aspen
#

Sal is the true raid boss

peak ether
#

But I find all the VHs up to 3 fun so why word probably doesn't mean much

#

Like I said I prefer to be flexible across the entire roster

tender aspen
#

Sal may suck early game, but he is by far one of the strongest VH’s ever for something so simple as holding 2 guns

#

But yeah after 3, Sal became nothing more than a shitty BR host

peak ether
#

Also if you get a chance use a Vladof E Tech sniper on him

#

It goes way harder than it should

tender aspen
#

Oh of course I’ve used hoarder sal before

#

Only issue is getting a good moloko

peak ether
#

I was talking to Kasken actually

tender aspen
#

Ah..

DPUH is so comically overrated. The Harold's got other accessories that work better depending on character and circumstance.

shut path

is it really a big difference between a level 79 and a level 80 weapon? I got a butcher, but it's level 79 from the loot midgit farm, and it took me around 2 days of non-stop farming. Should I strive for a level 80 version?

#

Sticky and Homing, for when you want the fuse time to be effectively six seconds longer.

fair igloo
#

as opposed to the 10 seconds it takes the seeking transfusion thingies to find an enemy bc the leech has no air time

peak ether
#

So you do want a lower fuse time for them to spawn faster

fair igloo
#

or atleast that's how this grenade has worked

#

i throw it in the direction of an enemy, it sticks to them, it explodes, and the orbs come back and heal me

#

way faster and stronger

peak ether
#

But longbow is just straight up the best delivery

oblique kelp
peak ether
#

That's literally all grenades

#

Idk how Gbx thought "grenade instantly teleports to the target" wouldn't immediately outclass all the other options

fair igloo
#

look if you wanna gimme one go ahead, but i'm not gonna be unhappy with an upgrade

peak ether
#

Homing is fine on Transfusions

#

If my only 2 options for a transfusion are rubberized or homing I'll take homing

#

But that's rng being rng

#

You won't always have the best option or rolls

fair igloo
#

best is what brings me enjoyment

peak ether
#

My hottest take is rubberized isn't that bad

violet spear
#

It's pretty alright but you have to pay slightly more attention to use it and Borderlands players all have attention issues, as we know.

fair igloo
#

it's not, until your grenade flops like a wet spaghetti

#

bc that's gonna mean it'll most likely explode in your feet

peak ether
#

Which is actually pretty nice

#

And it's still more controllable than homing

fair igloo
#

please consider, if they home on the closest enemy, you can find hidden enemies easier

peak ether
#

The mini map already does that

fair igloo

Why though that's the reason

It's for hitting enemies from the back most of the time I never target the backs of enemies

So I put the points into velocity for the Harold

violet spear
#

It's for hitting enemies who aren't targeting you. Including who are targeting your clone instead of you.

Harold does worse with Vel0city because the bullet splits further forward compared to without. Means you need to be further from targets for it to work as well as it usually does.

This is my current Loadout for Krieg, what other weapons should I farm?

I noticed I don't have too many strong corrosive/shock ones

Hornet is always an excellent choice.

Where do you get that?

Knuckledragger.

#

There's also the Thunderball Fists from Flynt for Shock but he blows to farm.

atomic edge

Yeah, especially as Hellborn Krieg

If you do get it though it's one of the consistently strongest Shock options.

I'd probably end up healing him more than damaging him

Fireballs automatically seek out enemies who attack you

You can use stock grenades to knock him out of the arena to the ground below though and from there his AI breaks and he just sits there while you kill him.

+3 Expertise is honestly crazy bang for your buck. One point and you get all the swap speed you'll need.

#

Once you can get to I believe 6 Expertise moving while aiming down sights is faster than walking. At 10 I think it's literally faster than sprinting.

yea, i did 1 point in expertise and suddenly my bandit smg is way faster to reload and i don't have to switch guns

no

that boost to ready is amazing

i don't really need the expertise

their dumbness comes in the shape of hiring practices, or the lack of them

Aight I'm not informed enough to differentiate the bougie brands

#

Trying to fit the other bl Manufacturer's into real life fashion brand equivalents.
Tediore is often compared to Walmart, and I think that works but doesn't match the fashion theme

fair igloo
#

tediore is fruit of the loom

violet spear
#

Tediore is Dollar General, Dahl is Salvation Army, Maliwan is Hot Topic, Vladof is local brand convenience store, Maliwan is Hot Topic, Hyperion is Target, Bandit is DIY

#

Put Maliwan twice accidentally.

#

Which is debatably funny.

barren cobalt
#

Torgue? Which store has the most explosions?

#

Or has a singularly 'wild card but not so terrible' family run business lead

violet spear
#

Vladof is Walmart actually, Torgue is a pawn shop.

fair igloo
#

torgue is lowe's

barren cobalt
#

I feel like it's switch tediore with valdof, even if just for "general" being in the name

violet spear

Fair actually, if we're including uniques.

Since Vladof uniques and legendaries tend to be higher quality than Tediore's.

AI overview. marcusLUL

tender aspen
#

Nah never trust the AI overview

signal axle
#

Idk if theres really a way to test this?

#

Like ig with bitch and sham since theyre 3.3%

tender aspen
#

The only way is extensive solo and coop testing for drops

#

And well that would take a while

signal axle
tender aspen
#

You mean bunker right?

signal axle
#

Ye

tender aspen
#

Yea he be like that sometimes

violet spear
#

Would it not be easier to farm any other drops? Seems needlessly complicated to farm Bunker for testing that when it should be, to my memory, 10% for any drop with the drop being a 1/3 for a specific item between the different drops.

signal axle
#

So if it turns good

#

Then i can confirm it, i did bunker over 80 times 0 sham 2 bitch

#

So that should be a good starting point

tender aspen
#

I’ve had bad luck sham days, I had an entire 12 hour run of bunker and I was so unlucky I got legit no drops not even the head drops

signal axle
#

💀

tender aspen
#

So it’s really just RNG being RNG

violet spear
#

This wouldn't increase your chances for specifically a Sham. It would just increase your overall drop chance, if it does, which I don't think it does.

signal axle
#

But increase the spawns

#

Which would make me think the droprates would drop down

#

But its also saying bosses are better rewarded

#

Alr bro

#

So i swap to solo and get 4 coms 2 blue 2 purple 16,2% rolled 3 times and 1/5 of that also rolled

oh also if your getting COM mods, i’d recommend class mods redux

it’d probably be the only one you should have enabled tho if you do get it

tawdry shell
#

it’s made by the same guy that did the slayer and allegiance coms mod

#

and it’s the best of the 3 imo

#

it also changes a handful of class mods in fun ways

#

shock trooper on axton has kill skill duration, sal’s raider com now gives movement speed, etc

atomic edge

if you go with that one just get rid of the other class mod mods and check off the UCP class mods section entirely, that’s what i did

the problem isnt it being bad

the problem is me always getting guardians and equalizers as my first legendaries
its like a curse

They're just that common

They are common? I've never once got one

Guardians drop somewhat frequently but I typically see more Defilers, Hellfires, and Volcanoes

or the defiler

amazing gambit gearbox

#

i wish we got the pill scope in more games

#

i actually like it

peak ether
#

What makes other legendaries more rare or common is what manufacturer it is + how many parts it's competing with

#

The reason why Maliwan legendaries feel so common is because Maliwan only has 5 possible accessories for every weapon type except launchers

pastel zealot
#

i love revolvers theyre my favourite after shotguns

pastel zealot
tawdry shell
#

friendly fire and defender?

pastel zealot
#

both are shit compared to what i have

#

however double legendary in 1 chest, its noice isnt it?

#

which combo should i use? (hammer is x8)

#

im not sure which to go for cause both are rly good lol

#

the shotgun one sounds good but it only has a singular skill that interests me and thats only +3

#

would it be better to farm for a new heavy gunner and go for draco instead?

#

nvm fuck the shotgun build

tawdry shell
#

i think the most fun shotguns for roland are either the bulldog or sledges

pastel zealot
#

also after literally farming once i found a better friendly fire and ditched the hammer xd
im still gonna stick to the heavy gunner because of the draco + anaconda

#

hunter shotguns, low ammo revolvers (do they have a specific name? or do we call them and high ammo + low damage revolvers just..... "revolvers") and MGs fucking ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK

tawdry shell
pastel zealot
#

the long barrel right?

tawdry shell
#

but since the ammo count is always 2 shots i always just call it a 2 mag

pastel zealot
#

yet funnily enough it's not the best one from what i see

#

oh wait no im dumb

#

i confused mag with barrel

#

yea u right u right

#

according to LL i got a perfect anaconda

#

so tell me why the FUCK did the game think it would be FUNNY to make it LEVEL 23

tawdry shell
#

cause it is kinda funny

#

also damn yeah that is an insane roll

pastel zealot
#

yea the only thing it lacks is a scope

tawdry shell

a masher anaconda was my craw killer for the last korean run i did

pastel zealot

which i wouldnt want anyway

pastel zealot

sight i mean

pastel zealot

yea thats a good idea but i dont think a level 23 anaconda masher is going to be my craw killer of the run

tawdry shell
#

idk how mordecai corrects to korean but ight

also by having a level 30 anaconda masher i wont want to use any other gun
so no new toys

pastel zealot

But the Anaconda part is a barrel so it can't spawn with it anyways

all ik is hunter barrels on shotguns are the BEST because they look like they were made with STICKS AND STONES which is AWESOME

peak ether
pastel zealot
#

o

#

what barrel is that then and why does all shotguns with that barrel have that prefix

peak ether
#

It's accuracy prefix

pastel zealot
#

is it barrel 5

peak ether
#

And Barrel 5 has the best accuracy so ot commonly leads to a Hunter's shotgun

pastel zealot
#

makes sense

#

man the weapon part system of bl1 is way cooler than bl2

peak ether
#

They're correlated but it isn't direct causation

pastel zealot
#

you get what im trying to say though right?

#

we ALL know these shotguns are superior

peak ether
#

Because a Hydra can get that prefix with a Carnage barrel too

peak ether
#

But Barrel 5 is always best accuracy

#

Launchers barrels are wildly different though

#

On launchers barrel just determines what type of launcher it is

pastel zealot
#

interesting shit i tell you

#

ill forget about em tomorrow but its still fun

pastel zealot
peak ether
#

I'm warming up to it

#

Need a better parts one to truly test it out

#

Legendaries in Bl1 are fine and usable at worst with a good roll

pastel zealot
#

tbh every gun in bl1 is usable to some extent

#

if its bad you use it for a few levels if its good you use it for 10 levels if its really good you just take it to the end

peak ether
pastel zealot
#

the only reason i waste so much time on gift shop farms is only because i wanna keep trying out other guns

#

i know i can finish the game with my gear, but sometimes its fun to change

#

not on this run though
draco and anaconda in 1 run is heaven
i LOVE draco

peak ether
#

Same

#

Enhanced technically nerfed it though

pastel zealot
#

its not the best but it has like 198 mag size cause of my class mod its hilarious

pastel zealot
peak ether
#

More so the title can no longer be Massacre so it no longer gets the accuracy buff

pastel zealot

my love for draco is cause its a combination of the best things

we're talking abt launchers in bl2?

the problem is that badaboom is just better in every way, and its easier to farm too

it feels impossible to use launchers for a good amount of time unless you have something to regen those things

I love Dahl

pastel zealot
#

even our lord and saviour bearcat which we ALL know is good doesnt make me wanna use dahl

peak ether
#

Bearcat actually has a funny story about it in 3

#

When they fixed the bonus element creating extra bonus projectiles bug they used the bearcat as the example

pastel zealot
#

i think it requires a more "professional" gameplay with constant use of the burst fire with the zoom niche ontop of the setups it needs not fitting the guns i like to use

#

as you know
my preferred way of playing is "COME AT ME YOU FREAKS I DON'T NEED SLAG TO COMMIT CRIMES"

peak ether

Which caused the entire community to collectively go "The Bearcat has bonus projectiles?!"
