I’ve tried that and always end up with the bullets going through my target and not connecting. My Zane is mostly Co-Op, so that might be part of it. I’m about to spend the next few days finding all the shotguns I can. I wanna try the Maliwan Mind-Killer. Supposedly, it’s a non elemental legendary Shockwave dropped by Mouthpiece??
Also, yeah. My entire Zane is basically built on using the Hellwalker to burst through enemies while my drone and clone drop ice or radiation grenades.
Mind killer is decent. Mine is non elemental. I dont know if it come in elemenats or not.
If it’s not annointed, I won’t pick it up. If there’s no synergy, I won’t pick it up. Don’t sleep on epics and some rare uniques. With the right annointments, they’ll perform well. Also, Gbx did a fairly good job with the customization system of non-legendary grenades and shields. Definitely worth checking out. I’m trying to get more Terror annointed grenades, but they’ve removed most of them from the vendors.
Just make some mules until they officially expand your inventory size.
Not at all man, different tools for different people right?
It would be a colossal waste and shame if out of all the legendaries in BL3 only a handful are “real guns” and the rest just there for lolz.
I personally dislike the Flakker, especially after the mag nerf to 1, dont really see the point in that gun anymore but there are a whole lot of guns that people praise to be “awesome” yet when I get them I have to realize they simply dont work for me.
Everything that’s not annointed.
My progression went -> Finished Game -> Maxed SDUs -> Farmed Legendaries -> Learned How Good Anointments were -> Farmed Anointed Legendaries -> Realized Anointed Purples are as good or better than some Legendaries -> Except some anointments just suck, ignore those -> Farm anything with an Anointment I’m looking for, the rest is trash.
Until you have a good palette of legendaries to work with, farm those. However, anything with an anointment (at least Purple or better) should always be considered, and once you’re deep enough into endgame and have a core legendary setup for your builds, you’re basically trashing anything that isn’t a Purple or Legendary Annointed.
Yeah I just meant it was like a missed opportunity to give money some purpose beyond SDUs. Once you max out your SDUs there is basically no point to money. Seems like a no brainer they could have had a few more expensive SDUs to further increase your bank and/or inventory.
While I don’t know if they’re going to have more SDUs specifically, they have mentioned they will increase Bank size (which may require more SDU purchases).
Aside from that, I have no doubt they’ll add a credit sink with later content. For now, unfortunately, you are correct - there is no point to money once you max your SDUs, other than giving to mules to max out their SDUs to you have some place to put all those newly farmed anointed guns.
Oooh lots of good thoughts here, and I was incomplete in my answers…
Sheild-wise if it’s not absorb, then I am not gonna bother. I’m still not caring much about preferences other than that.
Grenade-wise, if it’s not transfusion, I leave it. Then I look for:
1-homing
2-Elemental effect of some kind
3-heals shields as well
4-singularity
5-splits/MIRV effect
Once…ONCE RNGjeezus gave me a purple that was a transfusion, homing, singularity, corrosive that also healed shields. At about level 20. … Someday, baby!
Guns…I love elemental, so I sorta have to love Maliwan. Given that though
takes too long to charge - it gets dropped
if it’s a hold down to charge/release to fire - it gets dropped
The other things I really really love are:
Tentacle/creature guns (love the “Brood Mothers” because they wink)
Streams of element (it’s just so fun - usually it’s an AK that has this)
A potentially useful or interesting annointed ability
Favorite guns that are not “min-max DPS” are:
Superball (because, bouncy hilariousness)
Krakatoa - because cool effect
Electric “storm” guns (because more coolness)
Don’t know what they are called, but those tentacle-y shotguns that shoot an arc of good (I’ve found them in corrosive and radiation) much fun, and also pretty good for nailing enemies hiding up high and behind cover.
I am here to have fun, and secondarily to explore/not die, so I pick with that in mind.
Hate Jakobs and anything that just doesn’t have a semi-automatic or a burst option (big exception is Roisin’s again because cool factor is high).
I know what you mean. Maybe we’ll get to buy those slots when the Maliwan Takedown gets released.
I like the legendary Jakobs sniper Headsplosion a lot. Works like a regular sniper, but deals splash damage, too.
I don’t think so, the Westergun is one of the best SMGs in the game right now.
I still pick up gear to sell. I use the cash in the weapon slot machine near the entrance to Moxxi’s. You can get legendary gear out of it.
Yup. Just like in BL2, sometimes all you want or need is a good purple Muckamuck.
…until you find one of these. My Moze just deletes stuff with it.
