At it’s core, Borderlands has always been about maths. Maths that can pop your head off with one well-timed shot or cover you in corrosive acid and lightning that is. Such maths is usually seen in the loot of the game, and with a trazillion guns to spare, there’s a lot of number-crunching to do on bandit faces. Of course, the best loot happens to have an orange font that glows with the warmth of a heavenly choir. And Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel once again has plenty of those legendary armaments available.
Here’s a selection of Legendary Loot, from the reddit vaults. Feast your eyes on the goods, and look at your common rifle with much disappointment:
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!
I’ve always dug the loot of Borderlands. Hell, it’s what the entire game revolves around, so it would make sense that this would be the aspect that was worked on the most. And when it comes to drop rates, Borderlands loot has a pretty fair amount of gear that straddles the line between common, rare and OH MER GHERD WHERE DID YOU GET THAT GERN?!
Of course, to get such loot, some farming of bosses is necessary. But then again, the blue, pink and purple guns in the game pack a rather solid punch and can be attained with shift keys that are given out at regular intervals. That creates a nice buffer between fielding exotic and rare guns, before you get that happy fizzy feeling in your prostate when you finally see an orange glow on a rifle.
It’s not just me though, is it?

If it took more that one shot, you weren’t using a Jacobs 🙂

vladhof is the future.
high attack speed wrecks.
generally dont like dahl either though, the burst is annoying.
the dahl sandhawk was the best gun in the game, but thats only because of the bee.
maliwan is pretty cool though, especially if youre not using the bee.

I have a nice Maliwan Sniper rifle, and with my critical hit multiplier perk, the multiple crits really stack up nicely!

the volcano wasnt a bad sniper rifle.
the vladof lyuda was probably my go to sniper though, fire rate and damage balance was >>

hyperion shotgun
bigger clips, accuracy increase and elemental damage >>
the moxxi heartbreaker and conferance call shotguns were by far the best.

Burst fire snipers are the worst. I used to get so mad when picking up a great sniper rifle only to see it has burst fire.

I better win the Isolation game so that I can pick up this game myself.
If I don’t I am going to have to decide between the 2. I don’t think I can do that

the feeling when you see that little orange light on the ground
even when you get so many that you have to drop other legendaries to pick up new ones, the feeling is always good.

“worked the most”
when 50% of them are the same legendaries from b2.
not complaining though, anything borderlands is good.
only have to wait one more day!

I’m over Borderlands, at least for a few years. Borderlands 1 was good. Borderlands 2 was good. Borderlands 3 pre sequel, fuck off, time to make another game. Not more Borderlands.
Having said that, Cyberpunk 2077 is coming after The Witcher 3 that is. The only reason why I am ok with The Witcher 3 is because I know that Cyberpunk 2077 is coming. If another Witcher game is next, I’ll be pissed. But Cyberpunk 2077 is next. So I’m not pissed.

Borderlands has a rocket launcher with a bayonet. As far as I’m concerned, there’s no need for any other shooter, ever.
Hammersteyn
October 16, 2014 at 12:51
It’s the perfect weapon, you can rocket jump in the air and land bayonet first on your foes.
Norman Pleasant
October 16, 2014 at 12:54
Or you can pole-vault on your bayonet and deliver a rocket into their faces. Multiple solutions for any situation!
