We're sitting in a community where the people making the videos only main certain characters and whatnot

#

I'd rather a person be known as "the zer0 guy", "the gaige guy", "the axton guy", and then them give their input on certain gear, then you can take that nuance and use it yourself

static needle

Read above

unborn swallow
#

Previously was MoLMF, may that guy rest is piss

static needle
#

Man of Low Moral fiber

unborn swallow
#

Yeah, may he rest in piss

static needle
#

Garnet Anarchist is better, He's more honest, but the problem for me is we have no Krieg mains and they didn't review guns.

#

Killer six plays gunzerker, the most boring character in bl2

#

He did reviews too and they're awful

unborn swallow
#

The krieg guy

static needle
#

Doesn't review gear

unborn swallow
#

He's given a lot of opinions on it tbf

#

But i see the issue with that

static needle
#

Nothing like Garnet or MoLMF

#

Dude and Vynilic Puma is a meme

#

Holy fuck I hate that guy

#

"Sledges shotgun is bad gais"

#

🤓 🤓 🤓 🤓

unborn swallow
#

VPG,JD139,K6,MoLMF,Bahroo

All kinda suck on information

static needle
#

Bahroos good

unborn swallow

#

JR is a good shotgun

#

Nothing like the Hydra tho

unborn swallow
#

It's one of the best

#

Holdon let me grab the list we worked on

#

From efforts of garnet, me, mrtx, axtonboi, stereolotus77, rokar and a few others we made a list Nod

static needle
#

You're the Amara yt person eh

#

How's the revenue looking bro

#

"Not very good"

unborn swallow
#

What revenue

static needle
#

Yep

unborn swallow
#

I'm not even monetised

#

Nor do i want to be

static needle
#

Damn

unborn swallow
#

There's 2.5 amara people, and i'm pretty sure 0.5 of them don't play this game, and idk where or what swan is up to nowadays

#

So, shrug

#

None of us do yt

static needle
#

He'd be biased based on the fact it's just a quest reward

unborn swallow
static needle
#

It's a very good gun

unborn swallow
#

Jolly roger got a High A rank

#

Which i think should've been higher but yknow

static needle
#

A tier is like, one of the best weapons. I'd rank most really good things as A tier.

#

S tier is only for broken stuff like the bee and the sandhawk imo

unborn swallow
#

Yes

static needle
#

Interfacer

unborn swallow
#

Correct

static needle
#

Etc

unborn swallow
#

I wouldn't say hyda is better because roger can get elements

shrewd rampart
#

I was a Jakobs nut on the forums.

#

Still am a Jakobs nut.

static needle
#

I miss the forums

#

They were much better for discussion

#

We also lost the Top Gear threads

shrewd rampart
#

We just lost a lot in general.

static needle
#

Now I can't find any content for what weapons are good on Jack in tps

unborn swallow
static needle
#

It's really pissing me off

unborn swallow
static needle
#

It's about minmaxing

#

Minmaxing my guy

unborn swallow
#

Unfortunately we recently lost the one guy in this server i knew of that liked tps

#

"recently" - like 6 months ago

static needle
shrewd rampart
#

Right now I use the Elephant Gun a lot on Axton.

unborn swallow
#

Probably Ionic Disruptor

shrewd rampart
#

I only played up to TPS.

unborn swallow
#

Tps is a great game

static needle
#

It's alright, I don't think it's amazing

#

I'm only playing it rn bc I don't have the dlc for 2 and I don't wanna install the 300 gigs of bl3

shrewd rampart
#

It's more the fun than being actually good. 99% of what I use is Jakobs and my builds are not top tier, but I have fun, so it does not matter to me.

static needle
#

Bummer

shrewd rampart
#

Maggie I would recommend for how easy it is to get, ease of use, and not really having much in the lines of downsides. Preferably with Dastardy, Straight Shootin', or Gunstock prefixes.

static needle
#

Yea I have one with a gunstock in tps rn

#

Literally lasted til the end of normal mode from lvl 17

#

That's a pretty good gun

#

My favorite is probably The Striker tho

shrewd rampart
#

Yep it is, it is quite versatile, with good fire rate and recoil that is pretty tame as far as Jakobs is concerned.

unborn swallow
#

Can we get that one image of the
"i love the maggie!"
"I fucking hate you"

#

I hope one day everyone decides to despise the Maggie so that i may enjoy the weapon again

static needle
#

I love the Striker and I also really enjoy Rough rider

shrewd rampart
#

I suppose runner up to the Elephant Gun would be the Unforgiven.

static needle
#

The unforgiven in bl1?

shrewd rampart
#

Nah the second game, I only ever had one drop in the first game around level 17 I think.

static needle
#

How do you use it with that really high per shot dispersion

#

It's very unwieldy

unborn swallow
shrewd rampart
#

It's one of those guns that really needs an Allegiance relic if you plan on beaning someone in the head repeatedly and quickly.

unborn swallow
#

It's one of those "you get used to it" for me

shrewd rampart
#

Without one getting one with a Gunstock prefix helps and if you're playing Axton his Steady talent can help as well.

static needle
#

I get it, but I prefer a widow maker any day

#

Like widow makers are in my top 5 Jacob's guns

shrewd rampart
#

The Unforgiven in BL2 is basically a pocket sniper.

static needle
#

You must have pretty good familiarity with jakobs sights

shrewd rampart
#

Been a while I used a Widow Maker.

static needle
#

It's just a purple Jakobs pistol

shrewd rampart
#

Yeah I had to look it up to see what it is a reminder. I rarely use non-red text anymore.

static needle
#

I think it's the torgue barrel

shrewd rampart
#

If you have matching grips a weapon's sight changes. Jakobs pistol scopes get a red dot.

static needle
#

Ah that's how u get the unforgiven to perform well at range

#

I kinda figured

shrewd rampart
#

Lots of practice to.

static needle
#

Yea. I am very used to Maggie's and widow makers. I don't really like Irons but they're fine

shrewd rampart
#

Red dot.

#

I think the Gun I am most familiar with in the series that other people don't like is Swordsplosion

shrewd rampart
#

If you can see it that is.

static needle
#

Nah I can't but I get how that happens now

#

I never knew that

#

This is a vladov sight

shrewd rampart
#

Swordplosion with the two extra exploding pills is amazing.

static needle
#

Yea it's a pretty good gun. I also can use a flakker

#

Casual flakker

#

I learned how to use the Hail too but honestly it's pretty meh unless you specifically want a moxxi weapon

#

It's very good I just don't like it

shrewd rampart
#

Never got into the Flakker but knew a guy whose name may as well be glued onto it from the forums.

static needle
#

If you can learn it, it's the highest damaging gun in the game with the swap glitch

#

Used to use it and a creamer all the time

shrewd rampart
#

Oh yeah I seen videos and talked to people about it.

static needle
#

I did the ancient dragons as Krieg with it

#

I never did hyperius tho

shrewd rampart
#

Hyperius I used to farm on Krieg with melee, but other than him and Pyro Pete I never touched the raid bosses that much.

static needle
#

You ever used a twister?

shrewd rampart
#

Pete I would make him kill himself with a Maya build that maxed reflecting damage.

unborn swallow
shrewd rampart
#

Oh yeah, I got the gear using other means, and I sometimes use the Twister, but usually only against enemies like shield totting nomads.

#

...but I did fight an OP7 Iron God with the Deputy Sal build. That's almost thirty minutes I'll never get back.

static needle
#

Do they even drop anything

#

I fought one of those once too

shrewd rampart
#

Like three pennies and a half eaten french fry.

static needle
#

Yea they're cringe. Least a godliath drops a purp

shrewd rampart
#

I did it for no other reason than because I thought it would be fun. I needed a wrist brace and a pot of strong coffee. All that clicking was murder.

static needle
#

The same for me fighting badassasaurus Rex for a casual slow hand

#

Just pure annoyance

shrewd rampart
#

I had more fun fighting that Iron God than I ever had fighting that giant obnoxious bullet reflecting sponge of a boss.

#

Once or twice I fought him fair, then after I would just run back and forth between the ammunition vending machine and the concrete barrier to just throw bonus packages or meteor showers at him until his engine blew out.

static needle
#

Remember the ultimate badass loader going through the story tho

shrewd rampart
#

Saturn?

static needle
#

Nah the constructor

#

Saturn's about as bad tho

#

On kreig at least

shrewd rampart
#

I think there are two of those constructors. One on your way to Angel and the other one is dropped off just outside the Warrior's sauna.

oblique kelp
#

I evolved Rock God

static needle
#

Its the constructor that has so much health it takes like 10 minutes to kill him even at lvl 72

#

The one right as you go into the bl1 themed map

tall surge
shrewd rampart
#

Fortunately they do not regen health. I killed one on Axton with the Elephant Gun from way out of aggro range. I was getting idle complaints from Axton for not moving.

static needle
#

No lol

#

You can't crit him

tall surge
#

yeah thats probably why it took so long lol

shrewd rampart
#

Oh and it was also not using corrosive either which would have helped a lot.

static needle
#

Would have helped you but you still were doing like zero damage

#

Insane you took the time to do that

zinc gyro
static needle
#

No, they're armored

zinc gyro
#

the boss too if I remember correctly, but he's still weak to fire damage

shrewd rampart
#

Iron golems are armored.

tall surge
shrewd rampart
#

Yeah somewhere around there.

peak ether
#

The Concept Incinerator is in the back

shrewd rampart
#

Axton can chew up Iron Gods with his turrets due to them scaling beyond his level, so they are not subject to the same damage reduction shenanigans that players deal with going into the OP levels.

Bahroom got kicked off the forums for cheating way too much and he was...tolerated at best on there.

unborn swallow
static needle
#

What? I never knew that

#

How'd he cheat

peak ether
#

His AR takes were so bad

#

Like seriously

#

He mathematical proved the top 5 dps ARs had stronger dps than the top 4 SMGs

#

And he still called them shit

shrewd rampart
#

You weren't allowed to talk about gibbed or other programs on the forums, or show video content, which he did. I personally referred to it as the "Magic Wand" which was fine.

zinc gyro
#

"off camera grind"

shrewd rampart
#

He rode the Unkempt Harold so much it should have charged him by the night.

static needle
#

Derch used gibbed as well

#

I prefer him for any takes as a reference

shrewd rampart
#

I do to, but the thing is we didn't talk about it like bahroo did, and he did other things as well.

#

Me and Derch used to debate over the Unforgiven being better or worse than the Rex, he liked the Rex more.

static needle
#

Ig this is why bahroo never became a gearbox sponsored creator

shrewd rampart
#

Not to mention as everyone else brought up Bahroom was a bad source of info.

unborn swallow
static needle
unborn swallow
#

A lot of people did actually

static needle
#

Never really steered me wrong

unborn swallow
shrewd rampart
#

I had to correct a lot of his and some other goomba's--whose name will never be mentioned for what he did--due to their takes on Jakobs equipment.

static needle
#

I honestly never watched bahroo much for gear, but I'd check his build videos

#

I mean, ngl though, dude used the sham a lot

shrewd rampart
#

LoOk hOw hOrRiBlE DIS PISTOL IS! shoots body shots with an Unforgiven with the two-fer prefix

static needle
#

Not an amazing shield, good but not amazing

unborn swallow
static needle
#

Nothing like the antagonist

shrewd rampart
#

I forgot about that dude, but nah, this was a dude that people wanted to post humorously become a Gearbox badass but who got drunk, got in a car wreck, and killed himself and several others.

peak ether

Oblivion and DMC are the other 2

shrewd rampart
#

Why.

#

Ik who you're speaking about, kinda don't like him and never did

unborn swallow
shrewd rampart
#

Yep, that guy.

peak ether
#

He was who really got into wanting to play Bl2 actually

shrewd rampart
#

No--wait, they wanted him to be in a future game like the one player who passed away and whose NPC is in BL2.

static needle
#

Yoteslaya influenced k6, bahroo and handsomejackboy

unborn swallow
peak ether
#

But he dissed my boy the Invader

#

And no one disses the Invader

shrewd rampart
#

not a gbx badass. I think by then the GBX badass thing was peetering out due to non-forum users getting it and the drama in Blutfatal's badass thread.

peak ether
unborn swallow
#

Never heard of him tbh

peak ether
#

Bl1 YouTuber

#

But he started a variety stream channel because Bl1 doesn't exactly have a whole lot going on

shrewd rampart
#

I do not keep track of youtube people. I tried making videos but I sound like kermit the frog with a smoking problem and depression.

static needle
peak ether
#

I've talked to him on stream and the Bl1 community hangout server

shrewd rampart
#

blutfatal made a number of guides on the forums and swore by the Flakker.

peak ether
#

His vids don't go too into detail but he never claims to be a super high lvl player

shrewd rampart
#

He was rough around the edges and we kinda bullied each other.

peak ether
#

He just really likes Bl1

unborn swallow
#

Okay so, you must understand

The people that watch borderlands content are

  1. 13 years old
  2. 20~30 years old

If you get technical, your audience is #2, if you get click baity, you get #1

wide fog
#

i’d agree with that

static needle
# peak ether Hjb is actually chill

Handsomejackboy is very knowledgeable about bl1. We were talking about the nidhogg earlier, and his video states about the same things I'd tell you about it. He played some really cool bl1 mods too back in the day

peak ether
#

Ehhhh

#

He barely even understands weapon parts

shrewd rampart
#

I was better at writing guides anyways, and it was fun having the forum users check my work and add their two cents.

peak ether
#

He thought the Masher part was a barrel until I told him it wasn't

unborn swallow
#

The people that watch joltz is probably a mix since he's good background noise, and he doesn't spout bullshit usually so technical players tolerate him and the newer players watch him because he's popular and just clickbaity enough and is really good at content creation ngl

shrewd rampart
#

To be fair bl1 gun parts are like chess compared to the gun parts in bl2 which are like checkers.

peak ether
#

Bl3 parts fionatired

unborn swallow
#

Bl3 was even more of a downgrade

static needle
wide fog
#

joltz isn’t a problem it’s just young people taking his very opinionated content as gospel
he’s just a dude with opinions and that’s taken as absolute word by some and that’s dull but

peak ether
#

Who cares if his favorite gun is bad?

wide fog
#

eh

unborn swallow
shrewd rampart
#

Oh I was the odd one out when I signed up the forums. There was a lot of hate for Jakobs back then, especially when UVHM was released. I was essentially the idiot on the corner with a big sign saying JAKOBS DO NOT SUCK.

unborn swallow
static needle
wide fog
#

i wouldn’t even say his opinions are very strong
i watch his videos as background noise whenever one shows up but nothing more than that

shrewd rampart
#

Oh nah we just trash talked each other for funsies.

#

I'd make fun of him or something and he would turn around and make fun of me or something.

unborn swallow
wide fog
#

i think as the biggest youtuber you do have somewhat of a responsibility to reiterate that what you’re saying is an opinion at the end of the day and not to take everything he says as gospel but also it would still happen regardless
he’s just a guy who likes bl2, nothing more deep than that

static needle
tall surge
unborn swallow
#

I have respect for him shrug

wide fog
#

i don’t think joltz does anything that others don’t, he’s easy to poke fun of because he’s the biggest guy but eh whatever
i don’t appreciate some of the people he associates with, but he alone is fine as far as things go

shrewd rampart
#

Borderlands 2 just has a lot of weird nonsense that can used with weapons that best and worst are just subjective and more on how you use them.

static needle
#

Thing is though I agree with MoLMF about purple vs legendary snipers in bl2. Most of them aren't great, and the purples are better than the legendaries in most cases.

unborn swallow
shrewd rampart
#

Like there for a bit there was a weird glitch with Sal, The Greed, Axton's turret, and one shotting raid bosses.

Or not so much a glitch just how the programming was working.

Both is possible

static needle
#

Nah something happened that made him snap along the way

#

He wasn't like this when he first made content

#

I remember back when I first started playing this game none of this was on his record

unborn swallow
#

My monitor came with styrofoam and a note saying do not ingest product or packaging

shrewd rampart

I think he contributed to creating programs like gibbed a long time ago.

it’s shockingly easy to fall down right wing pipelines despite how left leaning you originally were
could’ve happened at any point in his life

#

Bit of a funny story before I left the unofficial discord and coming back.

#

Me and another dude were having a stick measuring contest with us just renaming ourselves: General, God, God Emperor.

#

Then Derch logged on and immediately promoted me to mod before writing "I win."

wide fog
#

took me 3 years of joking about being mod here to eventually actually being made mod

shrewd rampart
#

I didn't have the mindset for it, so I stepped down, plus I was not in a good state of mind after Gearbox sold out to Epic, so I left before I went off the rails worse than I did.

unborn swallow
shrewd rampart
#

Then when I came back Derch had long since up and vanished.

static needle
# unborn swallow Im so young i guess

I'm not really that old, I'm just not a kid anymore. You shouldn't worry about ages of others, just of yourself. Eventually you'll be so old you won't have a chance of starting a career anymore. I'd worry about that more. Good to start young or you'll work dead end jobs your whole life.

I enjoy Jakobs in general. The Unforgiven is just in my top five favorites.

static needle
#

Such a new take for me dude. Never heard anyone put it in their top 5

shrewd rampart
#

Along with the Elephant Gun, Striker, Damned Cowboy, and I guess the Rough Rider as that is the only shield I use on Axton anymore.

static needle
#

Striker is in my top 5 too

shrewd rampart
#

But I also use the Unofficial Community Patch and BL2fix mods these days, but even before I was doing all that before. Those mods just make it easier and more enjoyable.

static needle
#

It's like striker, skull masher, hellwalker, flood, and masher for me

static needle
shrewd rampart
#

Skullsmasher took me a while to get used to in bl2.

unborn swallow
#

God i'm so glad i talk to technical players

static needle
#

It's been in all the games I think to this point

shrewd rampart
#

It fixes some things with loot and does some quality of life changes. I do not know off the top of my head.

unborn swallow
#

Genuinely mentally crashing out over rough rider on anyone's top 5 that's not a krieg player

shrewd rampart
#

I got a gif for you

static needle
#

Rough rider is my favorite shield as well, but I'd use the antagonist first on like most other characters

#

Its mostly good on krieg, because of all the bonuses it keeps active. On other characters it's very good but it's not the best. Top 5 is fine

wide fog
#

RR is best in class on krieg
it’s amazing on sal
borderline useless on anyone else

#

maya it’s good for fleet

static needle
#

It's not amazing on zero and gaige

#

And yea, axton

unborn swallow

It's genuinely detrimental on most characters

Rough Rider is very niche.

unborn swallow

I'd rather a LOT of other shields

In every situation

static needle
#

Again, antagonist is probably the best shield in the game other than the bee

unborn swallow
#

Bee sucks

shrewd rampart
#

Bee has been a problem for years and is the reason why we keep losing fun things.

unborn swallow
#

Maybe for you, i,m winning with fun things

static needle
shrewd rampart
#

Well it does not bother me at all since I do not touch the raid bosses that are more swole now.

#

I only ever really used it with the Bekah a few times, not that thing needs the boost.

static needle
#

BRB

wide fog
#

the bee is only good for raid bossing and in gaige

unborn swallow
wide fog
shrewd rampart
#

My buddy was on Gaige and was using the Bee when we first met in a group trying to hose down Hyperius. I was using Axton's turret shields to block Hyperius' shockwaves.

#

and he challenged someone to a fight to then flatline them with the conference call with the bee, that was back before it was nerfed.

unborn swallow
#

Simply the number gets proportionately worse

wide fog
#

the value of the bee is only diminished if you have above like 200 stacks
which i don’t agree you should really ever have

unborn swallow
#

It depends on the weapon

#

Snipers feel consistent until 320~ in my experience

wide fog
#

pitchfork on gaige my beloved

Whereas smgs tend to taper off around 250 and ar's 200

With a Pointman COM Crisis Management's damage reduction goes up to 60% and its gun damage boost is something like 70%.

shrewd rampart
#

Grit was momentarily boosted up to 5-6% per chance of kicking but that was quickly reverted as it made Axton nigh unkillable with a +5-6 COM.

Hello there.

20260516143700_1.jpg
leaden stag
#

never gave that barrel a chance

#

nor really plan to

shrewd rampart
#

I am starting from level 1 and just going through the campaign and difficulties. I have no room to be picky, and getting an epic so soon is swanky in my books. Also...Gaige Jakobs...I have not done this in a good ten years.

leaden stag
#

thats vanilla right

#

for gaige I just grab whatever rarity coach gun drops first

#

ravagers/hulk also rather funny for normal/true

shrewd rampart
#

Nah, I am ucp and bl2fix, so take it with a grain--nah, truck load of salt.

#

I still have to watch mag size with shotties, I had a few I couldn't use because mag was zero due to talents.

#

Gaige really wasn't affected by the UCP as far as I am aware of, other than some underwhelming talents getting a bit spiced up.

#

I am still gonna have to get creative with dancing between dancing with Discord and Anarchy if I want to hit anything beyond medium range with Jakobs.

#

I figure with Gaige it is gonna either be going gunslinger with mid ranger pistols or full on skeet with weapons such as Skullmasker, Maggie, shotties, and Gatlings.

#

UCP really does not kick in until UVHM where it balances Jakobs out to where dedicating to it isn't a macochist path.

leaden stag
#

didnt UCP make you reach max anarchy stacks instantly

shrewd rampart
#

Nah, I still have to work for them, in that I need to stack some serious bodies.

leaden stag
#

and iirc UCP lets you just hold down the trigger on jakobs

tawdry shell
leaden stag
#

ah

shrewd rampart
#

Then I need to be at least mid range to hit anything.

leaden stag
#

I just spam coach gun till I get like 100

shrewd rampart
#

Nah, UCP does not allow me to auto fire with Jakobs.

leaden stag
#

might have been reborn fuckery

shrewd rampart
#

I do not really have to worry about the accuracy lose until about 80-100 with Jakobs snipers, then I need to get into rifle range if I want to hurt things.

leaden stag
#

you are planning to get discord right

shrewd rampart
#

Yeah.

#

I have a bit of a talent path laid out but I may tinker with it later as this is the second time I am tinkering with Gaige.

#

The mods just give me a bit more leeway in UVHM, but I can still get chewed up if I am stupid.

#

All Bl2fix and UCP do is make talents more balanced out and better, from what I recall enemies can still flatline a fool if they are not prepared or knowledgeable enough to counter them.

#

As well as certain weapons and gear, they give ya hand, but if you stupid, you getting a nap.

leaden stag
#

They made blue jakobs snipers not actually worse than greens

#

thats off the top of my head one of the biggest changes

shrewd rampart
#

Also they fixed the crit debuff of assault rifles.

#

So they are worth using now.

#

And red text are much better than non red text, such as the Cobra.

#

But..um...

#

I mean...sure?

#

I like the move speed, and it kinda gives the relic a bit of a universal use....but I think it was good as is.

leaden stag
#

I personally didnt bother to swap relics and always sold it

shrewd rampart
#

It is just seeing a relic with four stats has me just...loling over it. That move speed is good if you want to blitz from one area or another...and it is level 11. I am using it atm.

#

Also vultures suck....the accuracy decreasement makes it hard to deal with them even with an epic shottie.

tawdry shell
#

unless im zero then i run shadow of the serpahs

shrewd rampart
#

the move speed is nice and I am sure once I get The Greed or start melee heckling enemies I can make it lethal.

leaden stag
#

wait is that movespeed for ur char as well

#

that seems, silly

shrewd rampart
#

Yeah, it is. Even at my level I can move a lot faster.

#

Not that much of a benefit right now other than retreating a bit quicker before the opposition forces me onto my knees.

#

Well, reducing time between point A and B in quests, but...eh.

#

Even with the mods I have, Deathtrap is still a meatshield that I can sauce up a bit.

#

Biggest problem is....reloading. Anarchy counters the mindset ingrained in me from my Halo campaign/multiplayer days.

leaden stag
#

unbind your reload key

#

till you get discord

shrewd rampart
#

I am just going to take the hard route of not hitting that reload key

#

No trial, no gain.

leaden stag
#

I mean I never unbinded it either

shrewd rampart
#

There been some Forum users that were disappointed I couldn't get Gaige to work with Jakobs, and that was a decade and a half ago when I was a whole let less intelligent, so I am hoping to put this to rest, even if I cannot share it with them while using mods.

leaden stag

I am pretty sure AR's got something of a -50% crit bonus as there was some discussions about them being junk compared to SMGs and...everything else.

tawdry shell

it was -20%, unless the UCP patch notes are lying

shrewd rampart
#

Well, it looks you are right, Jakobs get whacked with a negative -20% crit bonus.

Er, let me fix that. Non-Jakobs get the -20% crit bonus.

There used to be a brainstorming thread on the Gearbox forums where we came up with weaponry. I came up with a Jakobs Doom styled shotgun, but mine was more gory than the Hellwoalker.

It had a lot more skulls and screamed every time ya shot it.

But the Garcia tho

#

I love the Garcia

shrewd rampart
#

Oh I remember seeing that Hellwalker being released, I doubt I had any sort of contribution towards it, but I did write a very detailed thing on a Coach Gun being demonic in origin but was Jakobs.

#

I'll take my .001% connection to it.

#

I'd be more impressed if Gearbox leaned more into Lever actions than tommy gun styled firearms.

#

I am a bit disappointed they didn't get creative and create gatling guns, cannons for rocket launchers, and just go real deep into old school with Jakobs.

#

In gatling guns, I mean the OG hand crank suckers that are the ancestors to modern day machine guns.

peak ether
shrewd rampart
#

Oh, that is cool.

peak ether

They also have one that makes them lever action

And a Masher trigger but that one kinda sucks

There is no baseline

I need to read up on my glitch weapons

I used to think the game rolled each glitch chance individually but it's all one part

#

That goes in the second accessory slot

And when I looked in gibbed there was no standard pattern

#

They just basically threw in a bunch of codes effectively

#

Okay looking it up

#

There are 625 potential glitch codes

But there are only 23 actually in the game

The only standard is you're guaranteed a 4

100% is so tedious though

peak ether
#

But I guess this all comes back to me preferring my games where almost everything has purpose

north prairie
#

What do you mean by that

peak ether
#

Games where systems and items interact with each other

#

Or the devs had a clear vision for what they want with little fluff

#

GTA V feels unnecessarily bloated because it's GTA

#

And as such has Rockstar money put into it

#

This naturally means open world games need more explaining to catch my attention vs linear ones

#

IE. why did you choose the open world format

#

And most open world devs answer poorly

north prairie
#

That makes sense

peak ether
#

Saint's Row I felt actually answered sufficiently

Because the side activities actually had care put into them and 1 and 2 required you to engage with them if you wanted to continue the story

The Cobra is a bit of a mid-tiered Jakobs weapon. It's ain't bad, but it ain't super good either.

As far as red text goes.

#

Bolt action curse

#

good damage on full explosions krieg tho

shrewd rampart
#

Unfortunately it is only boosted by explosive damage, so if you want it to hit as hard as the Elephant Gun, you need to slap on an explosive relic. But if you can get a crowd together the splash damage can be potentially be nasty.

I dont mind, dont really like Krieg action skill anyway

However it does get boosted by Duty Calls

Because that skill only cares about what the item cards says

Yeah, I was abusing it in Hammerlock's DLC with the UCP patch which pushes red text quite a bit higher up on the totem pole.

Not what the actual bullet does

Basically if you are Jakobs diehard the Cobra is Jakob's very poor slot in the rocket launcher department.

shrewd rampart
#

I probably will not use that glorified Trespasser and I am always tempted to throw my Thumpson into the bin.

#

Those weapons are just bait to try and get people to pick up BL3, and Lilith's DLC I probably will never touch even though I own it.

leaden stag
#

am on the opposite side there, never liked the skullsmasha and sincero is the only actual kinetic sniper for me

shrewd rampart
#

I rarely use the Skullmasher until recently, and may use it on my Gaige Jakobs run, but I prefer using the Buffalo or the Elephant Gun.

#

What annoys me is we could have had a legendary Jakobs gatling rifle or something creative, but we got are essentially two White Claw equivalents of firearms, and do not get me started on that incendiary sniper rifle.

#

Then they stick a 50% bayonet--are you bloody kidding me now? Why not 100% or just not bother at all since the bayonet attachment is quite possibly the most useless attachment on weapons post TVHM unless you are all-in on a melee build.

I try to keep my interest in firearms in check for personal reasons

shrewd rampart
#

Which going back a bit; AK's are overrated. The quality control is if you buy one and I buy one there is chance yours can pop lightbulbs at 100 meters while mine be lucky to hurt a barn at the same distance.

#

That is even with the best companies that make them.

And unless you get an old Hammer and Sickle AK, their reliability isn't that great.

Firearms are like any tool in that if you misuse them you can do a lot of damage. Cars whack more people here in the U.S more than firearms do.

Cars are ass these days. Used to be you could get a car that you just needed a wrench, some WD40, and knowhow and you can fix it. A bit of an exagerration, but that is what it is these days. Oh and cars are built to be thrown away and replaced anymore.

You genuinely have to try to make krieg do no damage

Even with literally nothing

What should I do right now

Because im only level 44 at the moment

So:

Duty Calls, Ranger, and Overload are all not good. Would be better off with those points in Steady and Longbow (Longbow doubles your turret's HP)

Nuke (middle tree capstone) is fire damage, so not great for where you are with all the shields and armor

For left tree: Ignore the left two skills and invest fully in the right two. Get Scorched Earth so turret can do meaningful damage.

Hello I have question for Bl2; What is the best weapon parts for Harold? Im about to start Gunzerker run.

north prairie
#

Early game you’ll struggle with ammo consumption so a damage prefix would be fine too as DP is very ammo heavy

#

But if you ask me you shouldnt use a harold since its overkill for the levels you get it, you wont find one on level unless you farm torgue vending machines, and its very ammo costly

can someone boost me some how is that a thing in borderlands 4?

im lv13 and its hard with no skills or anything basicly

# winged void Its bad.

It requires elbow grease to get the most out of, but there are worse sniper rifles, and I only compare it to other Jakobs. Amongst red text Jakobs it does alright, but with an explosive relic it punches around the same damage per hit as the Elephant Gun.

In the Pre Sequel does anyone have a list of Lazer guns I should go farm for before I go into UVHM?

north prairie
#

The game gives you the Ol Rosie as a quest reward in TVHM.

My reccomendation is to wait to start the final quest until you are max level if you want and get a shock rosie

modest forum
north prairie
#

But thats only if you havent already accepted/beat the final mission

north prairie

#

Okay i’ll try and give you some tips

#
  1. You can get a celestial com super easy in this game
#

All you have to do is grind 3 purple coms at a grinder and you get it 100% guaranteed. I pretty much do this once i hit level 50 because i believe thats when the perks start being +5 across the board instead of +4 but you can do this whenever

modest forum
north prairie
# modest forum Unfortunately I think I already did that quest.

Thats okay, if you want to you can farm iwajira for stuff to grind and whatnot.

And if you dont mind doing something vaguely glitchy you can search up “Skullmasher Wombat Pre Sequel” or something along those lines and find the easiest legendary farm in the game

#

Farm iwajira for grinder fodder, put 2 legendaries in and a purple laser for a legendary laser recipe

#

You also have the E-Gun i believe?

#

Its a very strong quest reward laser up there with the rosie

#

Anyway just try to get your gear up to snuff and a decent laser. Once you get the vibra pulse in UVHM that’ll be your main gun since its very overtuned

modest forum
#

Still pretty strong. For now anyways.

north prairie
#

Yeah it scales past its level very well

#

One more thing i dont know wilhelm that well but you might have ammo issues just rocking 4 lasers, try to find good weapons that arent lasers as backup. I imagine you arent using all 4 anyhow and mainly just spamming 1 or 2

#

Oh and one more final final thing

modest forum
#

I actually have some strong Ammo Regeneration thanks to my set up.

north prairie
#

If you wait to accept the endgame quest until 70 you’ll get your rosie at max level like i said. Get it in any element you’d like, shock is preferred but the vibra pulse is shock too so you can do what you want. But i’d reset UVHM after that so you can get a level 70 Vibra Pulse in UVHM. You can then finish the story again to get another max level rosie

#

UVHM will be really fast in comparison to TVHM especially on a second playthrough

modest forum
#

Ok thanks for the info.

north prairie
#

Ofc

#

And then

#

Sorry im rambling but

#

You can start claptastic voyage and get a guaranteed DLC legendary at the end of the story. If you dont mind you can duplicate it with yourself and get infinite dlc legendaries. You can use those DLC legendaries as grinder food to get great lasers like the absolute zero and laser disker

#

Claptastic voyage also gives you access to stuff like glitch splitters which i think are great lasers too

#

Thanks for the info.
