Hey all just wanted to get to know everyone a little better and figured what better way then to see what you guys use and whats your favies. I'll start of course by saying my favorite(s) are pretty close: 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...
My favourite overall manufacturer would be bandit for making the slagga. For each weapon type... Jakobs handgun Bandit SMG Hyperion shotgun Jakobs sniper Torgue rifle Bandit rocket launcher
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
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.
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.
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 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
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
Hyperion guns suck if they aren't SMGs or Shotguns imo. The negative recoil sucks too much to use with anything else.
ahh..yeah I had happen to pick one up @ the Eridium Blight near the volcano and saw one in the chest past Geary...it wasn't really all that great tbh.
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)
