Can anyone explain it to me? Struggling with how it gets applied to enemies. Case in point, I spent some time farming to get some Jakobs Ranger pistols. Looked like it would do some good damage fast, not op or broken (I don’t have one of these amazing kill everything builds, I run a pretty middle of the road Zane) but have always enjoyed pistols and noticed alot of folks on the youtube videos using them to good effect, figured why not. Get one that says 1905 dmg. Cool. With my buffs and artifacts and whatevers I get 9 rounds before I gotta relaod and it goes pretty quick. Apply hotfix, it now does like 1700 dmg (thanks Gearbox) and go to shoot some bad guys in the face, dmg is anywhere from 600 to 1100. Okay so maybe it is a modifier from Mayhem mode. I don’t know and have to test more before I can be sure, but figured I might try to see if anyone knew how the stuff worked before I started trying to do the math myself.

I think mayhem modifiers are applied after all other modifiers. They can be great or devastating, so pay close attention to the ones that you have.

Did your gun damage change once the hotfix went through? I didn’t notice any of my guns damage change after the hot fix. (Im on PC btw). I didn’t see guns damage increase or decline when I browse through my guns. I remember most of the damage numbers of the guns I use constantly.

Yeah it was from the hotfix.

1905 down to 1742, without Mayhem modifiers.

So you noticed the TEXT from the gun changing? Because I don’t think the text on my guns changed.
The text meaning the numbers.
So like if my gun did 1200 damage , it didn’t change to 1000 damage.

Yeah, if I go offline the dmg is 1905. If I come back online and let the hotfix apply it is 1742. I would post pics but its effort I dont feel like putting in. Its from the hotfix.

Is going offline just a console thing?

nope
