Also their GOD DAMN LEGENDARY PISTOL cant spawn with annointments. I washed my hands after finding that out.

That’s beside the point as I was talking about the unique properties of the manufacturer and like I said none of these changes would have any impact on the maximum damage output of these weapons.

Which seems like a useless thing to do in 99% of the time as the general gamedesign doesn’t support this kind of playstyle. Atlas weapons already have the disadvantage of being non elemental only so the perk should do something to actually make up for it and not just be some overy situational gimmick.

Not quite, it says it does but that’s just the marker. The actual bullets are non elemental.

#26

yea, thats a big bummer for atlas guns for me
im not using non elemental weapons
i mean, right now i am using a non elemental boom sickle sometimes because i didnt find a molten one yet

#27

Well I’m ok with Atlas having such a severe drawback. I look at it this way: while Jakobs is all about “top performance for high effort” Atlas is about “decent performance for no effort”. So they’re some kind of “anti Jakobs”. Issue is that if GB limits their damage potential like this they should at least be uncompromising in what they are trying to do.

That seems high
 I have an Operative who plays Atlas allegiance with evidence to the contrary.

I’d love this. I’ve never used them with Amara (who can impart her action skill element to them), and I’ve only recently got some with elemental anointments.

I also love Atlas weapons, artistically and gameplay-wise, and I think that the lack of variety’s a shame too.

I guess it’s harder to come up with unique weapons when the manufacturer gimmick is homing bullets, but (for example) why couldn’t the Seventh Sense be an Atlas?

To put it into perspective, there are roughly 44 red text Jakobs weapons as of now, and only 6 Atlas ones.

i dont know why it should be hard to come up with homing bullet unique guns
there are like several dahl and vladof weapons that just
shoot

#31

I mean, that’s kind of my point: Vladof and Dahl manufacturer gimmicks are so broad/flexible that maybe they can feel like they can do whatever they want with them.

But I doubt they would make Atlas weapons with an effect that doesn’t have anything to do with the homing bullets, it would be like making Tediore red text guns without unique reloads (there are examples of this of course, but they’re the exception).

It’s petty funny how Atlas is now the ‘non-elemental’ company even more than Jakobs (which under Aurelia sold their soul to the element-spittin’ devil I guess) when they absolutely had an elemental theme to run along with their Greek myth motif in BL1. Where do you think Athena got it from?

Anyway, cute experiment by Rhys, but Atlas is definitely a case of ‘how the mighty have fallen’ both in-universe and meta compared to their BL1 selves.

but they dont do anything? some shoot faster, some got a larger magazine
you can do that with atlas guns and homing bullets xD
some shoot faster, some got a higher magazine xD
and you can vary the homing behavior
default homing darts, homing rockets, tracker guns, etc.
i think there is even more to make with atlas guns than with other guns

Same for Auto Aime from Moxxi’s DLC. Come on, it should’ve been an Atlas sniper.

Aah you mean like stat twists/buffs and the like, yeah of course they could do that!

To be fair, leaving out the vanilla game, so far the DLCs have thematically mainly focused on Hyperion/Jakobs, so I hope we’ll get to see more of Atlas in the next ones.

Yeah, it’s a shame that some manufacturers (namely COV and Atlas) now only make three kinds of guns, and one of them are heavies/rocket launchers

Jakobs is my favorite manufacturer and I stanned the hell out of them when people dismissed them in BL2/TPS, but yeah it really does feel like some of the other companies could should have a few more guns at this point. Jakobs got no less than 5 extremely powerful legendaries in the last DLC alone, that’s more than Atlas has in total :laughing:

Can’t blame them tho, everyone’s favorite manufacturer is either Torgue or Jakobs- everything else lacks flavor and personality in comparison (not taking things like effectiveness or DPS into consideration).

I wish all the manufactuerers made all the weapons honestly. Why can we have Atlas Shotguns? Make then use slugs that can track and have bonus range on every 3rd Shot or something.

Give us Atlas SMGs. Make then increase your movespeed slightly. Even 5% would be great. And make them look cool. XD

  • Give us Atlass Sniper Rifles. They can be single shot. You shoot one round then reload. But the round splits into 2 and then goes after the target.

  • Honestly I dont even know why jacobs weapons ricochet crits. They should have just had great crit damage and then let ricochet be a cool legendary buff on some items.

  • Beside that, we need more atlas legendaries. Atlas is really trash tier right now. I have a specific atlas Moze save, and it is fun. But is is also mostly Carrier + Q system + Ruby + Freeman. :smiley: lol

Still my most prized BL1 find. Does Atlas need to become evil again to be this good?
