So gearbox has released a new compatibility pack for borderlands 2. I was on the fence as to whether it will offer any new good weapons. I took some time to mess around with a new version of gibbed to get some sort of idea for what the new weapons will be, hear is what I found/figure/speculate: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quick Disclamer: All of my info was retrieved from gibbed. As far as stats I'll post a link with pictures of some of the stuff I'm talking about. If you think all of this is total BS, then look on Gibbed yourself by downloading gibbed here: http://blog.gib.me/2013/06/18/borderlands-2-save-editor-revision-158/ Also after writing this and viewing some pictures, I found some of the statements I made under Observations to be inaccurate. So don't be surprised if alot of stuff is different a week from now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Observations -There are NO new rocket launchers. NONE!!! Looks like I'll Norfleeting everything in this DLC too. -No new Legendaries or Pearls. Kind of a let down, but makes sense. Especially since the Vault Hunter Pack added the Pearlescent Guns. Would have been cool though. But then there is this: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/screenshots/2058/med_imp3.jpg -No new Unique Snipers or Seraph Snipers. UVHM killed the Sniper Rifle(and that whole sniper skill tree that zero has. Hmm. Whole Sniper Tree) -A LOT of new class mods. Don't know what any of them do. Won't know that until DLC 4 is officially released. -Magic Spell Grenade Mods. AWESOME! -Seraph Weapons now include: ---2 shields (one Anshin, the other Maliwan) ---Torgue Assault Rifle (KErBlaster Opposite) ---Vladof Pistol (Infinity? Opposite) ---Tediore Shotgun (Probably Deliverance Opposite) ---Maliwan SMG (Possibly a Hellfire Opposite?) -Every other weapon type has at least one new gun(with the exception of Rocket Launchers). The names are based on manufacturer and determine the prefix of the gun, so you could have both a sniper and a pistol that are garnet. They're similar to purple rarity items as they are listed as Grade 4 in gibbed. Here is a list of corresponding manufacturers with colors(or whatever). Bandit=Quartz Dahl=Emerald Hyperion=Diamond Jakobs=Citrine Maliwan=Aquamarine Tediore=CubicZerconia Torgue=Rock Vladof=Garnet -Here are the names for what the Unique weapons are. They are listed in gibbed as grade 3 and each have 1 barrel associated with them. Torgue Assault Rifle=Ogre Maliwan Pistol=GrogNozzle Torgue Shotgun=Swordsplosion Bandit SMG=Orc Maliwan SMG=Crit -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thoughts No new launchers or Snipers is a huge letdown, but maybe the other new guns are really good. I just want something that is superior to the Norfleet and Lyuda/White Death. The Tunguska and Storm aren't really cutting it for me. The Hawkeye is awesome, add more stuff like that Gearbox! I also want the Seraphs to be Good. Looking at some of the screenshots though, the Florentine looks like it will be like the Chulainn, with out the self-slag. Picture Below: http://mp1st.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/UOrcVCI.jpg The Grenade mods look cool too. I bet they will work well with a Cataclysm build for Maya. Maybe there will be enhanced versions of the Fox and Witch class mods too? Speaking of Class mods, there was a class mod called Necromancer while I was messing with Gibbed. This could make soloing Hyperius easier. In fact, any elemental geared COMS would be awesome for all characters. I like switching gear and skill points to adapt to different situations. Upon looking at some screenshots, I'm finding some of my speculations to be wrong. Case in point, the Ogre. http://mp1st.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/JTzJ6vD.png That being said, I might be pleasantly surprised about stuff that changes in a week or so. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Links Pictures Released by Gearbox: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/...t-On-Dragon’s-Keep-Weapons-Revealed.html http://mp1st.com/2013/06/18/borderlands-2-assault-on-dragons-keep-dlc-weapons-revealed/ Borderlands Wiki Link for DLC 4: http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Tiny_Tina's_Assault_on_Dragon_Keep -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In case this post is somehow controversial(since it discusses content that isn't even technically out yet), please feel free to have it removed. Seriously, I won't mind.
Ill say it once, and Ill say it again... I wont be playing it Day 1 but if I hear Butt Stallion is not in it... I wont play it at allll
Check out this Bahroo video for all of the unique weapons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcX2jSeHj8U Here is another Bahroo video showing all the guns and grenades in action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3mlzClm9ZY
It's the opening line to Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. It means I can't believe something incredibly awesome is happening (something like that anyway). With the Ogre being my favourite weapon in BL1, and the weapon returning in BL2, I can't help but be TOTALLY EXICTED FOR IT'S RETURN!!!
I think the new guns and gear for the dlc will be pretty good suprisingly but the best dlc weapons so far have to be the cobra sniper and sandhawk smg
Yeah man, the Sandhawk is insane with the Bee Shield. I'm excited for the Florentine SMG(that'll come out with DLC 4). Slag and Shock damage is awesome.
Yeah I know quoted this before but all I'll say is you should play it then. I just beat the DLC and I won't say any more than that. As far as the guns go, I got the legit versions of the Crit, Swordsplosion and briefly had the Grog Nozzle. I see the Swordsplosion being compared to guns like the DPUH, Infinity, Sandhawk. Yeah, it's that good. The grog nozzle is pretty much a better version of the Rubi. Also when you get drunk, you fire more bullets which I found HAS THE ABILITY TO INFECT OTHER GUNS FOR A SHOT OR 2!!!. You have to be quick on that weapon switch though. The 65% heal per shot is insane too. The Crit is pretty much like the Good touch and Bad Touch with Electricity. The quest to get it is sort of a pain in the ass. But still, all in all it's a good gun. This gun apparently gets a Critical bonus as well. I also managed to get my hands on 2 cool guns, both of which are the manufacturer guns that I was talking about. I got an Electric Emerald Defender(Dahl of course) and a Cubic Zerconia Handgun(Tediore Respectively). As of yet I don't know if they are better than guns of purple rarity, but they look cool. The Tediore seemed to be better than other tediores I've used. With Gibbed I also acquired some of the Seraph guns. The Florentine in my opinion is probably the best one. Think about it, Chulainn with out the self-slag and more power. I'll have to test it with the bee and make a better comparison later. The Stinger, which is the sister to the Infinity, unfortuanately doesn't have infinite ammo. But it's capable of a higher fire rate and it can have a Slag capacitor(The infinity can not). It's alot like an Anarchist Vladof Pistol(Vladof barrel). I thought the Seeker AR was sort of mediocre. The homing bullets are cool, but the gun really needs a higher fire rate. The other disadvantage is you can't get Criticals with this gun. In my opinion, they need to up the damage for this or increase the fire rate. Doesn't even look like the kerblaster so not sure if it is a sister gun. The Ogre was kind of borderline for me. Instead of it being just double fire on a couple bullets it was double fire all the time. I found there were ways to glitch it to get it to fire almost the hole magazine with the double fire. Let's just say it wrecked face when that happened. It might be really good with Zero if you go Two Fang though. That's All I know right now. More Info Later.
