Yeah, the clipper drops off of nine-toe. It's a badass little gat for a while.

Yeah, the clipper just burns through ammo so damn fast in the beginning if you don't have a soldier nearby to help with tha problem. Besides that slight downside,  :heart:

Wish it swung in melee a bit faster.

And is it just me or does the other part of the nine-toes instance require a higher level or co-op? I was able to solo him with some difficulty, but once I started going north of the zone in, I started getting rolled by the "Adult" skagdog things or whatever they're called.

I love the clipper.

Edit: Ignore the spoiler. Posting  before fully awake can make me seem even more dense than normal.

I burned through all my ammo on a few nests and said the hell with the rest of the zone. Though to be fair, my early blue SMG was wicked damage (x11) but the accuracy was worse than that blind dude (like 39%!).

For Bone Head's weapon drop, the Bone Shredder, what effects did everyone get? Mine shows a zoom and x2 lightning damage. I'm looking on a wiki page and it's showing nothing about the elemental damage. I thought this gun (being from a boss) would be universally the same?

I've found bosses are static with their main gun drop, which sucks.

I only posted the clipper because I already had a screenshot. :(


Zoom, Lightning, and The Lead Wind Blows! Or whatever it's called.

That's why I was confused when I see other versions of it. Although it is making me very happy to have x2 lightning on that gun as anyone with a shield at this level is screwed  :awesome_for_real:

I haven't tried taking screenshots of guns yet. Did you just hit print scrn and it only took the image of the gun description? Or was there some messed up setting associated with the consilitis?

Rightclick in your inv.

Nice thanks.

Bone Shredder for me was zoom, increased damage, and 2 rounds per shot. Used that for quite a while.

I need to screen shot the uber lil purple SMG I got last night. The thing does great damage and has a killer scope on it so its a pretty effective sniper tool.

The clipper is hella fun for a diva with points into the talent that incerases chance of elemental effects. It burninates the wildlife pretty effectivly.

Stop fucking talking about guns and start posing guns. >_<

LoL was to busy using guns last night to take pictures of guns will try to see if I can make myself take some more screen shots tonight.

I sadly haven't found a sniper better than that - I need one that is semi-auto, because I'm fairly terrible at sniping, though I do manage to land most hits. It sucks down sniper ammo really fast, though.

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/85648/Borderlands/ItemCard00003.jpg)

This is my sidearm. I opted for a slower one, just because all the faster ones were sucking down ammo ridiculously fast.

I actually thought he was easy. It was the dogs that gave me the problems :-)

And my next post here will have a gun. I promise!

I got a blue shotgun from that grave quest that kills level 12-14 bandits in 2 point blank shots. I have no idea what i'll do when it becomes outdated. Everything else runs out of ammo too quick.

Fuck the guns.  My baby is the teleporting grenade mod.   :heart: :heart: :heart:  *zip* from my hand, *zip* to the crosshairs a hundred yards away right at some guy's feet, BOOM.  Grenade power + sniper rifle precision = happy me.

Able to post an image of that, or tell the name? I'm wondering what type of grenade launcher that is, as I may actually start using nades before finding the life leach ones if I can find something like that  :awesome_for_real:

Longbow mod.

It's called the Longbow, and it's a blue mod.  Not at home to get an image at the moment, but lemme tell you, my gameplay enjoyment rose dramatically once I got it.  It's a very nice way to say hello to a tough enemy before they know you're there, and kills any weaker buddies meandering around them at the same time.

Thank you both, and yeah that thing sounds  :drill:

My current grenade mod is pretty :awesome_for_real::

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/40252/ItemCard00006-Transfusion.jpg)

It heals for half the damage it deals which is rather substantial.

The other neat weapon I'm carrying is:

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/40252/ItemCard00007-Rev.jpg)

Which is awesome most of the time but just falls apart thanks to the reload on Badasses.

Holy.

I need that gun.

That's exactly like the revolver I got except without the scope.

It rapes. Also mine has an accuracy of like 97. It's devestating.

I had been using pistols, until I got my first revolver.  Never going back.

Revolver + Sniper Rifles = Fewer shots, but those shots fucking count. 

I also carry a shotgun for if I get trapped without bullets for the other two.

A fast shooting repeating pistol with enough power can be like an Uzi Cannon. Vladof makes those types.

Machine pistols are the shit. Second one in my post does amazing damage in a matter of a second.

I used that for a while but found the whole teleporting thing more awkward than useful.

At any rate, grenade mods seem to drop very frequently in my experience, so you should have plenty to choose from.

Longbow < One that Splits Apart Into More Grenades < Firework HP Stealing Display

I'm dull. I use the "Explodes on Contact" one since my aim with grenades tends to be dead on rather than anything else.

The one that turns your grenades into proximity mines is pretty cool too for the dudes that just charge at you.

I just got the purple weapon, Bone Shredder.  I love it.

My current setup as a freshly level ten soldier (infantry path), plus a MIRV grenade mod I forgot to snap:

(http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/3830/sniperm.jpg)
(http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/8626/shield.jpg)\

I like the machine gun, it's slower than my last one, but higher damage per bullet and way bigger clip. Mostly solved my ammo issue. Well, that and opening with the sniper rifle that lights people on fire, a grenade that pops out more grenades and a shield that lights everyone on fire around me when it depletes as a finisher.

Bone Shredder's an auto-gimme when you kill its owner, and sadly it's stupidly low-level.  By the time I picked it up, I had better greens.   :heartbreak:  I got my hopes up so high when I saw the purple glow, too.


Now that is a sweet shield.  I wish mine set people on fire.

The RNG is not so nice to us all =/ That was my first assault rife and the best weapon I had

Just hit 10. Somewhere along the way I got an awesome sniper rifle that really tipped the balance in my favor.

But forget all that noise. THIS is my new gun of choice:


Got tired of those annoying bandits and skag that keep spawning outside of town, so this things got the rocket launch. One-shotting mountains! :drill:

I haven't been able to snag a decent SMG to save my life.  We've gotten a ton of awesome for all the weapons Mwerevu uses, but not mine.

For looks though, I like this sniper rifle.  (It's not a bad gun, but I found it at level 17.)  Very high-tech, and the scope is more like an open-air magnifying glass with a green dot in the middle.  It has lots of style.

(http://iria.chem.uh.edu/Borderlands/ItemCard00000.gif)


I've had better luck with shields though.  This dropped from the first pile inside the Arid Hills.  If I phase, my shields are completely regenerated by the time I come out.

(http://iria.chem.uh.edu/Borderlands/ItemCard00001.gif)

We've also found two of those Transfusion grenades.

I'll just leave this here:

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/85648/Borderlands/ItemCard00004.jpg)

Just picked this up in Act 2 - hits like a monster, and the fire rate is what keeps me from trying to cut myself.

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/85648/Borderlands/ItemCard00005.jpg)

Hits everything it touches for 500-600.

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/85648/Borderlands/ItemCard00006.jpg)

My hustlin' pistol.

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/85648/Borderlands/ItemCard00007.jpg)

Can't wait to equip this one.

Mine is metallic powder blue with pink glowy bits. It's a style, awright.

(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2468/4052204778_f29785796d_o.jpg)

I can unload a clip in like 2 seconds.  Soo badass.

My Trip to Pandora, Day 2: Today was a good day for Hunters. It would seem everything that landed on the ground that was DARE I SAY, MAGICAL, was custom tailored to keep me from making a decision.

What the fuck does yellow text mean?

Chance to corrode enemies, fuckin' A.

It's the rarity above purple.

Oh, I should point out. That last gun, Mean Rage. If you can press the mouse button 4 times in a second, you shoot all 20 bullets in a second and the reload is FAST. That 50 damage is per bullet. So, effectively it's 1000 per second.

There are 3 levels of Legendary:

Orange, Orange/Yellow (his) and Gold. They don't specify this anywhere but it was posted on Gearbox.

Edit: Also, for whatever reason, all the legendary stuff I've gotten wasn't worth keeping. Sold it for mad cash though. These are just the guns I'm left with at the end of the night.

I'm on PS3, but I wanted to play too.  Here's my Mordecai's main weapons as of right now:

(http://i36.tinypic.com/n32lbc.jpg)

(http://i33.tinypic.com/6f1404.jpg)

(http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/rattra/crackd.jpg)

As MrHat said, dropped from Rakkinishu.

Same here, picked up 3 legendary things, all vendored straight away.

I've had an awesome purple rifle and a purple SMG for the last few levels that have turned me into a bandit-shredding mofo, I'll try and get some pics later :)

That recharge rate is insane.

No pic, but here's the stats on Sledge's Shotgun (purple)

57 Damage (X11)
0 Accuracy
4.2 Rate of Fire
+150% Melee damage
+106% Damage
+10000% Burst Fire Count

No, that's not a typo.

Yeah, I got that before I went to bed.  I don't know what that last stat means though.

Gun choice became a lot easier now that I got a support mod that regenerates bullets (in any gun, I love soldiers).

For shield I always go with health regeneration...

For some reason I keep gravitating back to shotguns, with occasional combat rifles/sniper rifles for long range work.  Of course I'm crap at aiming so shotguns seem to work the best in my hands.

I keep two shields, one with a large shield and fast recharge and then a second one with health regen.  Swap them out after a combat if I need health.

That's the way I'm going with the shields, though early on with a lack of inventory room made it annoying as every space counts for people who are normally pack rats  :oh_i_see:

The last stat means it fires all it's rounds with every pull of the trigger. Like the rocket launchers with +300% and a 3 round clip. Sledge's goes boomboomboom, reload. Great for Rekk swarms, I found it pretty useless for anything else due to it's tendency to miss at everything above point-blank range.

Also, from looking at the gbx forum, the helical rocket launcher I gave Hoax is insanely rare.

I'm also a dual-shielder. Have one to regen health and then the one that has the fire aoe for regular use. Small inventory + looterificness =  :headscratch:

(http://www.filedump.net/dumped/borderrocket1256739599.JPG)

Not shown, is that gun is x3 because "Helix" rocket fires 3 little rockets that spiral around each other like in unreal tourney. That class mod with that gun and spec'd to explosive damage is doing me well so far.

I need to get out of the newbie area and get me some real weapons and mods.

Hmm, I just got that sniper rifle last night, but it must be slightly different since the level requirement is 25. Found it randomly at a vending machine, wasn't that expensive either. It is completely overpowered for my level and I love it.

I got it last night.  Only a two shot clip, but I kill pretty much anything I use it on.  Playing Lilith, I just run up and shoot.  If anything is left around me, I phase, do corrosive damage, maybe drop a transfusion grenade, then phase back and do more corrosive damage.

I got a very slow, but high damage flaming SMG last night.  The thing hits like a truck and the DoT is pretty high.  Unlike my old SMG, I don't run out of ammo after twenty seconds of fighting.

Oh thats nice.

A few nice low level guns I came across:

(http://i37.tinypic.com/11qsjtz.jpg)

(http://i34.tinypic.com/ngrig8.jpg)

right after getting sledge's shotty i found a white shotgun with 5 rounds quick reloading and autofire that has been my win button for 4 levels now.

(http://i454.photobucket.com/albums/qq265/gunzwei/Gun6.png)

Currently using this on my blast spec Brick (lvl 31) :heart:.

Eridian guns are the best in the game. Grats to you.

I never noticed the tags on the weapons.  What do each mean?

I dunno - I've found the shotgun and the sniper ('I feel like I'm gonna break this thing') and they seemed pretty forgettable compared to the other guns I was using, if only because of their small capacity and their slow recharge rate.

Infinite ammo is nice, tho.

Didn't say they were all the best, but the best guns in the game (of the random guns) are made by Eridian.

Hey, I like this a lot:

(http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn108/amiablequinn/ItemCard00002.jpg)

This is actually the best gun a found, the 15 shots is insane.

(http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn108/amiablequinn/ItemCard00001.jpg)

I just found this....   It's completely awesome

(http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn108/amiablequinn/ItemCard00000.jpg)

Assuming you mean the manufacturer tags. http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Manufacturers (http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Manufacturers)

My main hardware for the last 25 percent or so of play through one. It is devastating. A shotgun that can snipe anything you can see. Three head shots would drop a  28+ badass.

My win button for the last few levels has been an explosive sniper rifle/static scoped revolver combo. Drop the shields with the revolver, headshot with the rifle, I've been scoring 800 to 1000 point crits at level 17.

Bad. Fucking. Ass.

The last one, the stinger is unGODLY.  Holy fuck.  It regens ammo. My class mod gives me +35% damage.  It reloads like a fiend, less than a second.  I take down badasses in under 5 seconds point blank.  Uuugggggghhhh.  There are more mods than are listed.

Interested in seeing if the hellfire even stands a chance.

Ball Blaster is an interesting gun.  Not sure how good it is.

New Haven chest farming made me rich and got me a gun that makes shit basically trivial but amazingly fun.

God I did the same thing earlier. So depressing.

Day 3: My roommate made me throw away all the weapons I farmed. I kept a few Eridians because I didn't want to get more, thought maybe the game knew better than to double up on that stuff (they almost feel like cheating, I have 3, all amazing). It was a slow night, however, I did get my first SUPER-LEGENDARY (read: FUCKING WHITE) weapon and it's awesome.

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/39720/games/borderlands/22_TMP88_VILE_THANATOS.png)

Fires fast as all get out. Holds like 84 bullets after my skills are applied. Does a REAM OF DAMAGE IN SECONDS. <3 <3 <3

The rest are good, but nothing to phone home around. I love the Cold Torment, but it's a distant runnerup to the Vile Thanatos.

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/39720/games/borderlands/22_GGN390_SOLID_VOLCANO.png)

Edit: By the way, yes, if you get a Pearlescent or you know, WHITE, that sorts to the top of your inventory list. Think twice about selling it. Use it for a bit. Not every stat gets listed.

(http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/rattra/cr.jpg)

Regens ammo at a fast pace, shoots 3round burst, reloads fast. Got the same thing 5 levels higher without the ammo regen, so I keep switching back and forth. With the next weapon pretty much sets my soldier.

(http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/rattra/scoped.jpg)

I got a cool rocket launcher that shoots bursts of 3 rockets.

I'm at an impasse right now.  I want to play the game, but I also just want to farm weapons.

Fuck why is random loot so addicting?   

"Helix" rocket launchers are the best. They are the ones that shoot 3 rockets that circle around each other like in unreal tourney. It only uses one ammo and does x3 damage. I'm still using a level 19 one I found in a vending machine.

Though I found one last night that was better but I gave it to mrhat because I'm such a nice guy.

Given the precision of weapon targeting, 3 rockets isn't all that great unless you aim at the ground. Sometimes the rockets will actually go through an opponent.

Helix rockets seem to explode when the center point of them hits the target.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/Blade111/WEPON.jpg)

This is probably the most insane rifle I've found. It fires in ridiculously fast bursts, the damage and magazine  is also enhanced further by my heavy gunner class mod, and talent build - meaning I can keep 24 rounds in a magazine, 131% damage, and practically no recoil.

I sold it :)

Found a launcher that does 800 damage and shoots FAST and Straight.

Its awesome :)

The 'only 4 stats show' thing is full of fail, for some reason the okay looking 24 rifle I have beats the same item at level 35. Must be off screen mods. or unbelievably buggy code.

Spent about ~$140,000 for the Solider class mod from a shop. Paired with the above hunting shotgun, five points into Scattershot (+15% shotgun damage, 25% shotgun spread) and 12 shotgun skill points (+12% damage, +24% reload speed and +24% rate of fire), I've been curb stomping most enemies in one shot and badasses in two to three headshots.

Sitting at 33 with Lilith, up to the Trash Coast stuff with friends.

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/40252/ItemCard00032-Volcano.jpg)

Is ungodly, but doesn't get much use in co-op outside of the occasional turret.  Pretty amazing in no-scope range too.  Hits for about a grand on non-armored stuff.

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/40252/ItemCard00031-Savior.jpg)

Is also awesome, although I haven't found a good Mercenary mod to support it.  (I've seen +44% SMG Damage, but with useless skill mods. Pic in spoiler.)

I picked up the mod at the vending machine in Old Haven and wow, was it worth it.  I was duo'ing the four-man version of Old Haven and just ripped the Lance guys apart with it (and a Corrosive Artifact).  I have both skills maxed (http://www.borderlandsthegame.com/skilltree/lilith/#21505050550000003000000) although I haven't noticed if I'd gotten more health regen with it on than off.

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/40252/ItemCard00033-Krom.jpg)

This one's just nice, and I have no idea about the red text.

I got Madjack. Not worth posting since everyone will get it, but it's a fucking amazing revolver if you get one with "May cause explosions" or whatever.

Also, "Sometimes I forget to Reload" is the best thing I've found on an item yet.

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/85648/Borderlands/ItemCard00008.jpg)

This gun lasted me from 24 up through the end of the game at 36. I have yet to replace it in Playthrough 2.

My first really fun gun:

(http://www.bunkphotos.com/Pictures/shotgun.JPG)

With this thing, I find myself standing there waiting for psychos to run up close, just so I can pop their heads off in one shot. Works really nice with my maxed out elemental proc on my Lilith.

My Hellfire is disgusting.  My screen fills up with popping red burning numbers.  Oh yeah.

I never feel good using Corrosive and Electricity. But fire? Always good.

Also, I've found yellow-orange-dark orange weapons now,
(http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/rattra/orange.jpg)
(http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/rattra/dkorange.jpg)

That pistol is beastly.

Jeezus.  Thats awesome.

Unending Firepower makes you reload, but your total rounds never drop. And it's critting for 1200+ points plus the corrosion dot.

Hey Shild,
You posted the "Vile thanatos" and cold torment. You mentioned that the Vile is better I dont understands how, less damage, less accuracy, less fire rate and worse damage mods. Both are pistols correct?
I think I am missing something here, can you elaborate and educate my stupid self please?

It's just a "from experience" thing. Not that it matters since I've gotten the Madjack and The Dove.

The Mad Jack has a very satisfying glow about it. Furiously and I were tearing through his zone on our way to some other quest point when we ran him over. When he exploded like a loot pinata, Fur was like 'Oh yeah, we have a quest for that guy'. Good times.

Mmmm...loot piñata...

Wait til you get to Slither.

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/82533/borderlands/nicegun2.JPG)

Didn't even remember picking it up until the game ended and I went to go sell off some guns.

I don't think I ever got the Madjack or Dove.  Once I saw the end of the game coming and I was plus  level on most quests... I just sprinted toward the finish.

(http://homepage.mac.com/surlyboi/equalizert.gif)

This one is a beast.

(http://homepage.mac.com/surlyboi/cobrat.gif)

And this one, I just like for the name.

A perlescent I found from the vendor.  Although the outright damage is not as nice as Rasix', the shock damage makes up for a lot.

(http://iria.chem.uh.edu/Borderlands/ItemCard00002.gif)

I need to get a shot of my two revolvers.  A six-shot acid revolver with a nice enough scope to be absolutely punishing, and the orange ammo regenerating revolver I use to keep it stocked.  My SMG of death, too.  That's for tomorrow.

Forget that, the 4.1x weapon zoom makes up for it. That's great.

I never really liked or understood shock damage. Good against lobsters and guardians, but shitty for most else, from what I could see. Most "threats" in the game are humans and die by fire.

Shock kills shields fast.  Very fast.

My Siren's main equipment for the moment.  I have that repeater pistol above in my inventory, but don't tend to use it.

The SMG is a x4 shot.  It can empty a clip in three seconds.  Usually it makes stuff dead in one.  (A King or Queen Spiderant from behind for example.)  With my daze ability I can keep a large group of creatures locked down at range with a few short bursts.  The caustic revolver is my main weapon.  It'll kill any big and heavily armored creature in just a few shots, and corrosion will finish off anything which doesn't die immediately.  It's scope is powerful enough I use it as a sniper weapon.

The Bloody Equalizer is my first gold quality weapon.  It makes sure my other revolver is never out of ammo and is great at close range while regenning.  It fires fast and reloads faster, so the two shot clip is irrelavent.  Vu has an identical gun except it does over 300 damage.  The purple pistol next to it is a x7.  Very few things survive it at close range.

My class mod.  Resilience is the only ability I don't have a point in yet, but I will.  My main shield is 272.  With the mod and my skills it is around 480.

I finally got a replacement for the MG I've been using for over ten levels:

(http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/592/mg2a.jpg)

Almost the exact same gun, but higher level and purple.


Dropped in the chest just before the roid rage battle, woohoo!

After I killed him, I was wandering around in the following sesson and went back into his area in the following session  and he was back in there. Dropped a second Bone Shredder. One was substantially better than the other one, but since I didn't have it equipped, I'm not sure if the first or second one was the better one.

Yeah, Defender is pretty awesome.  I finished my first playthrough with ~1.1k shields.

It was trivial enough that I think if I picked up Resilience (mainly for the -Shock damage) and Silent Resolve (for the oops, I Phasewalked next to a barrel) I'd be untouchable.

Not really watching this thread much to keep myself from being spoilered, but I found a shotgun early in the game that fires a rocket as well.  It's awesome... if only I could upgrade it.

I've found 6 gold+ quality weapons in my first playthrough. All were revolvers, 4 were pestilent defilers, 2 were the regen ammo type. Bleh.

I have a Pestilant Defiler now, too.  If it had a scope it would be perfect.  I'd rename my Siren Sledge and make love to it at night.

I need to play some multiplayer with you guys. I ran with a higher level friend of mine last night and it was a LOT tougher, particularly since I was 4 levels under my friend. I needed so many revives. Oy.

I did however get a bunch of really nice guns that let me one-shot pretty much everything when I went back to playing solo.

While I did have the one quest-drop class mod, it was pretty gimpy (+1 ammo regen was nice, though). I had one leadership mod that was +20% exp and a couple gimpy stats. Then I got to the headlands and got this one:

Which I thought was nice until I got this one:

(http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/3658/mod2m.jpg)

For reference, Impact is +damage and Metal Storm is a temp buff +fire rate and recoil reduc after killing an enemy. So I'm already +15% dmg and +30% fire rate and 75% recoil reduc before equipping this mod. (At level 22)

Just beat the game carrying
(http://imgs.cloudandtree.com/ItemCard00001.png)
(and a few shots from one of my Eridian things and a sniper rifle, but that Cobra was doing 90% of my damage). I can't imagine what it would be like in the hands of an actual level 11 character. Will definitely keep this around for trivializing the early game.

Yeah I'm approaching the end of playthrough 2 and am still using this:
(http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/6610/smg.jpg)

Tried plenty of other SMGs since picking that up and none of them have let me put as much damage on target as that one does! With soldier skill and class mod I have 101 rounds in a clip, 70% recoil reduction and almost instant reloading... it's just critical hit spam  :awesome_for_real:

My standard, every day weapon:

And my new toy:

(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/3299/liquidorion.jpg)

Right after I got that another sniper dropped with 374 damage, but it couldn't stack up clip, recoil or firing rate wise.  Plus, the electricity?  Yeah, it fries the skin off people leaving only polished bone behind.

I also have an x4 SMG that even though it's only a lvl 12 weapon 25 damage weapon does so much damage at short range (~30% accuracy) with an 89 shot clip that I use it for killing boss mobs.  It's like a chainsaw.

I got a green eridian I already sold. It was a cool weapon, but the clip takes sooo long to recharge. Have to get some pics up tonight, I blew through the headlands pretty quick and got a bunch of levels and lewtz.

I have a very interesting Eridian weapon.  It fires like an SMG, has a large clip and decent recharge, however the shots are very slow.  They home towards the nearest target, which can be used to fire around large obstacles.  It takes some practice to make it effecting and is useless on fast enemies if they don't charge.  Very interesting though.

Another one I found is a four shot sniper with a fast recharge.  I can't seem to get a critical with it, but it's a level 19 weapon that does 3-500 damage when it hits.

This is what PEW PEW PEW means.

As for your second bit, Eridian weapons damage is rarely lessened or dulled by a small level difference or a shield. They're decent weapons, but I almost always have something more effective on me.

Edit: I should mention I always get them like 10 levels below what I currently have. At those levels, best in the game, bar none, great for twinking, no question.

That's my new toy, a higher level version of the one posted above. The fun part is that as you're shooting stuff, random electrical explosions are appearing around you. It's super obnoxious in multiplayer, I love it.

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/85648/Borderlands/ItemCard000010.jpg)

This one is kind of weird - it shoots two bullets at a time, to the left and right of the crosshair, and it shoots twice every time you pull the trigger. I'm keeping it around for when I eventually try out a full pistol build.

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/85648/Borderlands/ItemCard000011.jpg)

I love this gun. Sir Mixalot reference, and it hits like a truck.

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/85648/Borderlands/ItemCard000012.jpg)

I use this when I go on New Haven/Luckys chest runs.

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/85648/Borderlands/ItemCard000013.jpg)

This is the one that makes it happen, though. I don't need to worry about anything other than running around and shooting.

That gun I posted inexplicably increased its requirement by five levels. No other stats changed. I find this... bothersome.

edit: looks like level requirements display as lower than they actually are when the weapon is equipped. So it's level 16, not level 11.

The shield I found in a store when I was 22:

(http://iria.chem.uh.edu/Borderlands/ItemCard00009.gif)

I got the same one at level 13 but the total amount was 190. Faster recharge though. Also from a store.

You guys = teh sux

I did get weewee's shield, and that's ok for now, though I end up without shields real quick since I just tear into things with my big MG clips and RoF buffs. Toying with dropping my transfusion grenades for the atlas rain grenade which does a nice area effect.

I've found that using grenades with a different elemental effect than the one on my turret works well. Jump round a corner, plop a corrosive-modded turret down, chuck in a fire or electrical grenade and then aim at the rapidly dissolving & burning badguys  :awesome_for_real:

Had an odd one yesterday too. Got The Roaster (rocket launcher from one of the Kobbs) in playthrough2 and it was awesome - each trigger pull fired a 5-round burst of nuclear fire rockets and with my skills and class mod I had a 13 round mag... it was amazing! Turned off the console to eat or something, came back, fired it up and the Roaster had changed to a normal helix-type shooting, still with the fire but nowhere near as cool as before. Very annoying.

Whoa, there are turret mods?  Nice.  I've not come across one of those yet at level 25.  Is that a random drop?

You should have gotten an artifact by level 15 if you did the first crystal gathering quest from the Firestone Bounty board. It'll be in your inventory until you use it, then it'll show up on talent tree panel (upper left).

Ah, that is one of the few side quests I skipped.  Will have to go back and get that tonight.  Thanks.

Wow, do the quests! I'm level 24 and (iirc) I have a lvl2 exploding, lvl 1 fire, lvl 2 shock, and some new lvl 2 I just got last night I can't remember. Once you equip them, they show up in the diamond by the Turret skill on your skill page. Click it to select between the different mods you have for the turret. Do want a corrosive mod!

No pic handy, but I picked up my first Eridan - a sniper rifle with "I feel like I'm going to break it" or something similar. It's only 174 damage and fires 5 shots before recharge, but it's pure lightning damage and applies a lightning dot every time.

My favorite right now though is a Scattergun with "drop the Hammer" and x3 explosive.

You should get a corrosive mod iirc from the collect quest where King Wee Wee is. Corrosive turret was good, shock I think was a little better, but I went CR, so your mileage may vary.

My version of the Thantos:

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1072019/7.png)

This one is outdated now but I think scoped revolvers are some of my favorite weapons in the game.  This one lasted me quite a few levels.

(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1072019/9.png)

I picked up an Orange Rocket Launcher last night that fires 4 rockets at once.  Then, as they travel, each rocket splits into more rockets so that once they hit it's like a half acre of napalm.

I got the madjack, used it a little bit, sold it to the vendor.  Sure, it did lots of damage but it also took 4 or 5 shots to hit anything.

All pics need to have the ini hack for weapons stats plz :)

Poor, neglected thread:

(http://iria.chem.uh.edu/Borderlands/ItemCard00010.gif)

On Lilith with the elemental effect chance increase skill.  It's lovely.

Dear lord it actually has a 6 shot wheel. I am so getting tired of the 2-3 shot orange caustics I been farming.

I just found out the Hellfire smgs do their elemental effect every time, which will save me 5 skill points. Even at 50 I've found nothing better for a smg siren.

I hit 32 last night and I am still using all the same weapons I was using at 22.  It's a little frustrating to not ever seem to find anything I want to use.

Yeah, I've had the same loadout for a while. I should post my most recent sniper rifle, but the level 30ish stuff pales compared to Lant's pimp gear.

Though I read that as a 'breast of many forms'. I'm sure it had NOTHING AT ALL to do with the gender of the poster. :drillf:

Yeah, I had a lvl 19 blue Auto Pistol that I used for the entire last 3rd of the game.  Just couldn't be beat.

On my any gun Hunter I'm having the opposite problem.  I'm constantly going with 4 shotguns or 4 pistols to audition them and try to get rid of stuff.  I've got a fuckton of ss's for the gun thread but I want to mass crop the gray out of the png's and I've been too lazy to get around to it.

I had that problem until about midway through my second play through.  There were a couple of points where I had nice guns, but very few truly awesome ones.  My SMGs were extremely lacking until I came across a Double Anarchy (x4 damage) in my 30s.

One of the problems I had with the gun UI was that I never understood what the x1 - x4 multiplier on Elemental damage was. It wasn't explicitly explained, as far as I could tell.

Adding some of the better ones I've come across  :grin:

The sniper is the weapon of choice, even if I'm a soldier. Pele demands a sacrifice creates an AE at the point of impact which spreads 100% of the dmg as well as the dot. The Hellfire is nice for close quarters, and the desert raven is for mid range, 2 extra bullets per burst really do makes a huge difference, especially when you're a soldier with almost perfect accuracy and tons of bonus damage and recoil reduction. The shield was found in a shop, highest rating I've seen so far, and the very slow health regen is enough to keep you in tip top shape.

I don't know the exact amount it provides, however a higher multiplier provides higher elemental damage, both for the initial hit and for any DoTs which manage to be applied.

Elemental weapons have an additional line about 'High Chance', 'Very High Chance', or a red text such as you see on two of Sairon's weapons ('Pele demands a sacrifice', 'We don't need no water...').  Red text means the DoT is always applied.  The others have decreasing frequency, which is where the Siren's chance of elemental effect power and mod come in useful.

My last three sniper rifles have been Pele volcanoes. They rock.

Same. Though I have yet to get a Hellfire to drop on my Siren. Kinda disappointing.

and why the hell can't I get the font change to work on my computer. I still only have the 4 lines of text even though I altered the correct file with the font line.

Bought a sniper rifle from the store last night.  500 damage, 95%, 4.1 rate of fire, 6 shot, and in red text "Sniper Killer, Qu'est-ce que c'est".  Large recoil reduction.  It's like having a 6-shot massive damage combat rifle.  It's crazy-good.

If I try real hard, I can pop one round off.  Mostly I pop off two and two is more than enough to explode the normal heads.

Sorry for no image, I'm at work

I'm only on playthrough 2 but this last 30 minutes of play threw 2 repeaters at me. Too bad repeaters are largely shit.
