    Vladof
    Jakobs

    there was such an improvement with how jakobs handle that i just cant get rid of mine. to b honest, i didnt like em in the forst bl but.i definitely gotta say i dont leave Sanctuary without them. and ive always liked vladof's line of weapons.
    Another good brand i would have to say is Bandit makes...

    Hyperion for sniper rifles (excluding the skullmasher that's just a given favorite)
    And Jakob's for pistols
    Sniper rifles and pistols are all I use :p

    So i see some people are in favor of Jakobs a little more than the rest. Do you guys also believe that they made the Jakobs line better or about the same? See, in the first bl i pretty much didnt stir away from Hyperion (god i miss the reflective blood red guns :() and i also stood away from using Jakobs. But now i see my inventory and see the Jakobs out weighing everything else. Right now im a lvl 35 Assassin with the Killer mod...

    i love the coach guns and revolvers. Jakobs revolvers were more diverse in the first borderlands though.

    Each class has a different "best" manufacturer. It isn't that Jakobs is by far the best weapon, they just make the best guns for Zer0. Let's face it, almost everybody plays Zer0 whether they are good with him or not lol.

    I use a Jakobs revolver and a Jakobs Coach Gun on all of my characters. I love the massive damage!

    Jakobs just doesn't fit well with Maya, Gaige and Salvador imo. The clip is too small to maximize their talents. Excluding any talents Jakobs is the top damage though.

    Definitely Maliwan snipers, you can't beat elemental headshots.

    I have lots of talent maximizing guns for Maya (my main class). Sometimes I'm just a better shot with the Jakobs then other pistols so it just depends on what people are used to. I also like the Vladof and Hyperion Elemental TMPs for Maya too. My siren wrecks things pretty good with SMGs so I like to change it up a bit, plus I've been working on the Quick Draw challenge to unlock the skin for her and my Jakobs with a scope is way more accurate :)

    Well honestly its not so much that its Zer0, I think its more the Assassin class...then again I picked him cause he does speak in haiku. Not your average Assassin's trait if you ask me :D

    BTW what are coach guns?? Maybe something I haven't run into. What comes to mind is the name brand in the real world....yuck :p

    Jakobs - Pistols
    Maliwan - Snipers and SMGs
    Vladof - Assult Rifles and Pistols

    To be honest, Tediore seems to innacurate, and I don't like Hyperion's negative recoil, since I tend to reload after each kill, so that negates the accuracy boost. Dahl makes decent pistols though

    Coach Guns are double barrel shotguns.

    Hyperion guns suck if they aren't SMGs or Shotguns imo. The negative recoil sucks too much to use with anything else.

    It is just a different style to play. I like the loading and moving around for better shots. Not the best for probably 99% of the community, but I love to use them. Just a preference and a different way to play.

    I'll list them out for each weapon type
    Pistal (jacobs all the way)
    SMG (Bandit gotta love the Slagga)
    Sniper (Vladolf)
    AR (Torgue) Was vladolf until the recent dlc, started using the riffles that only use one ammo per shot, Now I cant put it down. Closest thing to the Ogre from BL1
    Rocket (None)
    Shotgun (Hyperion)
