you still use it as a frezeing tool damage on it does not matter unless you want to use it as shield stripping tool (shock hex/rad hex) fractal frags is for seein dead players who do not want 100% dps from double barrel i have no idea how you play. i personally use neither clone nor seein dead so there is that :d i’d definitely not pick fractal frags if i wanted max dmg plus clone will also freeze better than hex anyway. but if you are not using double barrel and still using abse clone+seein dead then it is 100% worth investment.

Nice changes. However is it possible to get some general buffs to Heavy weapons? IMO to me nearly all of them feel like they’re underperforming for what they actually are.

Loving all of this to pieces. I was able to single clip kill Graveward with the Redline last night. Feels good.

Just one little thing tho. Could the Fastball get some real love one of these days? It really needs the old BL2 treatment with a 500 or so percent buff. Pretty please?

Of course not, but we are in a situation where GBX is desperately trying to bring up old underperforming legendaries with hotfixes when they could just bring up categories as a whole.

There’s nothing wrong with this. Good purples have been viable in end game in every other Borderlands game. At least on Fl4ks list there were a couple of purples until quite recently but the balancing from GBX is hand-picking legendaries and buffing them with some arbitrary numbers hoping to get them M10 viable.

You act like there’s something wrong with good parted purples being good and I don’t quite grasp what the problem is?

Speaking of purples. I doubt the bangsticks would even work anymore if they reverted the nerf that they got early on.

welp seems gbx moved on and are focusing on season pass 2 stuff so i am highly doubting any fix for any of the bugs and or bugged missions preventing people from completing DLC anytime soon if at all.

looks like im done waiting or hoping for a fix at this point for riding to ruin so they are most certainly not getting a purchase of season pass 2 from me unless old bugs and issues are fixed.

Heavy whaaat? Are you crazy? The Nukem, plaquebearer, backburner, ION cannon and scourge are all fantastic launchers. How many op launcher do you want more? It’s OK if not all legendaries are insane. And maybe buff a few bad launchers butt not all in general.

Gearbox can you PLEASE increase the drop rate of the redline!? I’ve farmed Road Dog over 100 times and have gotten 4 redlines and 34 world drops.

I noticed this as well, I farmed Road Dog about 20 times with no Redline in sight. Figured RnGeezus might be nicer in a different session.

Aren’t dedicated drop rates pretty crap across the board?

Overall they aren’t that bad, but additional rng in form of anointments makes them bad.

It very much depends. Troy, for instance, has 2 dedicated drops and each have a 30% chance. Not bad. The Agoniser 9000, however, has about 5 drops at about 3% chance each. Pretty abysmal.

I think either anointments need to be toned down so they are less important or dedicated drop rates need a boost as you go up Mayhem levels. That way they could be quite generous at M10 without initial playthroughs giving players a full orange oadout.

The drop was never fixed

Heh, I just got a Redline on first kill, awful anointment, but still.

Out of said 20 runs, I didn’t even get a world drop Lego. . .

I got more loot from the skags outside of the fence and that white chest than from a “rare” spawn.

Funny that, a couple weeks ago I was farming for a Hellwalker and ended up leaving all told probably 20 Redlines on the ground lol.

But now I want to go grab one so I’ll probably end up leaving 20 Hellwalkers on the ground before I get one…

Sometimes he doesn’t drop anything…very annoying but my GOD is the redline a BEAST!! A cryptic redline has been owning mobs like crazy

That’s quite the hot streak for Roaddog. I killed him 20 times last night, and I got 3 ammo packs. The other 17 times he didn’t drop a single thing… I hate that bastard.

It’s funny, I complained on here about his drops last night. Then farmed him tonight and got 3 Hellwalkers(1 URad) and 4 Redlines out of maybe 10-12 runs.

Don’t worry it dried up real quick tho and went back to dropping ammo for about 10 straight, I quit farming him.

They’re much to high if you take away all the anointments. I would say only a few anointments would be perfect. First of all get rid of all element damagereguction and manufacture bonuses.
