I never use jakobs shotguns except the striker because it’s like a shotgun sniper and plus the crit bonus the others I think are horrible hyperion has the best shotguns imo.@chuck80
Well, all Jakobs shotguns have an inherent 15% type B crit bonus, including the striker
And any shotgun with the crit accessory had 50% type A crit bonus. On Jakobs shotguns the prefix for that accessory is “Doc’s”
The Striker gets an additional 75% type A crit bonus on top, so if you have a Doc’s striker, that makes it 125% bonus (Though the card will say 150% or something because it can’t do maths.
So if you have a purple Doc’s Longrider, it would have a crit bonus yes 
That’s more a matter of taste at that point. Personally, I love Jakobs shotguns, especially coach guns. But Hyperion does make great shotguns too.

Get the community to design legendaries. Not to be rude, but some legendaries suck. I mean genuinely suck so bad. Some are good, but weapons like the BL2/TPS Hellfires is one if them. It’s just a watered down version of something better. Community has good ideas, use them.

Like @Chuck80 said the Flakker is the perfect legendary. Very powerful but works different from the purple version. It has a learning curve to get the most out of it. Much like some of my other favorite red text guns, pimpernel, bekah, etc…

What WOULD be the closest Purple somewhat “equivalent” of a Flakker?
In BL2 and / or TPS…
It’s a Torgue shotgun with a special Torgue barrel. So Ravager.

In parts and effect, like Derch Said, Ravager
In actual use, and how it behaves, the closest thing would be the Torguemada IMO

Too Scoops is another red text gun I think they did right, based off of a coach gun but its not much like a coach gun.

I still think this idea has merit, as long as you look at it as an Easter egg/ pop culture reference to rocket raccoon. Not the fallout thingy.(which apparently existed prior to my bright idea)
Title: Rock-it-Launcher (R0K-17-L4NCH3R… Or some such)
Class: Rocket launcher
Rarity: Legendary
Red text: “That’s for if things get really hardcore. Or if you want to blow up moons.” (Direct quote from the Guardian of the galaxy movie)
Special effects: Weapon can grasp; explosive barrels, random weapons & ammo on the ground, etc. and launch them at the target with classified “R0K-17” technology. (You know how rocket assembles a huge gun/other helpful stuff out of scrap he finds lying around)

it would be scav and called the Rokkit (or Rokit Lonchair) (cuz ya know so Clever Rokkit could be a thing). The special could even be some boring scavenger thing where enemies have a chance to drop ■■■■ including rocket ammo, more explosions, whatnot.

It actually makes me wonder if old school Rocket Raccoon comics were where the VERY nerdy Fallout writers / designers got the idea from…?

I just hope they allow all manufacturers to make all types of guns… Would love to see a tediore sniper that teleports to where your aiming upon reload and creates a small singularity effect…
@casey_greene58 I hate that weapons don’t come from every manufacturer tediore snipers would be awesome with new gimmicks because the small magazine and limited ammo pool would make no sense to waste so instead of exploding they do other stuff like teleport they could call the gun night crawler or a tediore gun that puts the rest of the ammo into your next magazine.

Yeah maliwankenobi that would be cool to not expend all the ammo from the clip upon reload just charge you one ammo for the special affect whatever that may be… And I know this has been beaten to death but I need my Atlas weaponry back. Just say for instance maybe Athena had stolen all of the Atlas corporations file before you destroyed the armory and tried to turn a profit by selling all the info to someone on another planet.
I loved my atlas guns😊 , I missed them in bl2 s&s also
