Amazingly powerful weapons
So i have some friends that do gamebattles for this game (apparently there #1) and they showed me a couple of the weapons they use... THESE WEAPONS WERE INSANE!!!
They used a sniper rifle that dealth 2k damage per hit x4 electric element and the rounds bounced off of walls until it hit something. The other weapon they had was a pistol that did 500 damage per bullet, x4 fire, and a 15 speed, also it had a scope...
Now, my question for the community is, have you found simular or more powerful weapons? Really, i wanna get my hand on something like this lol.
It has been mentioned in other threads, but i will say it here aswell. This game has literally no defence against hacking. Please take everything that you see on other people profiles with a grain of salt, unless you can a) show us a clear screenshot of the weapon or b) can explain how the effects come about. For instance, how does it load? If it is a revolver, you can pretty much consider a high fire rate unlikely, especially if the magazine size is large. If you want more examples, i recommend reading this post, especially the post by RoadSurfer. http://borderlandsguide.com/forum/silver-rare?page=1
Now i don't want to question everyone's guns and equipment, because i have found some pretty cool equipment of my own. Some of the special things i have found are a burst fire sniper rifle and a burst fire shotgun (both from hyperion, the shotguns is called a static butcher, forgot what the sniper rifle is called) and shotgun pellet type sniper rifle from jakobs, that does damage x6 called a skullmasher. The only thing about these weapons is that although they have really cool effects, they also have some pretty obvious drawbacks. Like the burst fire sniper rifle. It has a 15 round clip, and when scoped shoots five bullets at a time, but the recoil on this thing is terrible.After firing a burst, the nozzle on the gun has moved up bu like 3-5 inches, so not all the bullets are going to hit where you aim it. And the burst fire shotgun is cool, it fires its whole 5 round clip in one shot, but ist terribly weak for a shotgun, and takes about 3 seconds to reload.
There are some really cool unique and legendary weapons out there, but as gearbox did with everything else in this game, if it has some awsome stats, its also gonna have some bad drawbacks.Thats what they wanted, to make players have to choose, whether to use one with awsome power but slow rate of fire or accuracy over the other choices, and these kinds of + and - apply to all the wapons, even the super high level rare ones.
I just want to make people question others when someone joins their game with a godly weapon with no glaring weaknesses and too many plusses. Other than that, you just have to take pride in the crazy and unique weapons that you find (which will start happening, especially late in the second playthrough). Until they add in a dedicated trade mechanic where you can actually see what someone else has, i will do just that, take everything i hear with a grain of salt! ;)
I have a number of infinite ammo guns of every type that fire at rates of 50+, and dont stop
like the malevolent bitch, and this spread shotgun i have ---
fortunately for me, all the weapons i have are found weapons-- dropped loot from monsters, i find crap in chests
but there are TONS of weapons still to be found and there are millions of variations, mods, hacks, etc
this game is the best FPS/RPG E V E R
Are you telling me that you have a revolver that has a 50 ammo capacity and fires 50+ rounds a second? because that is what Rate of fire means, rounds per second. If so, i need to see a screenshot to believe it. Come to think of it, i dont believe i have ever seen a gun with 50+ ROF
It's a corrosive revolver that empties it's clip (whatever the size is, depending on mag size mods and such) x4 element
grrr
it empties its clip (depending on size) between 1 - 2, at most 3 seconds
it also has a scope, and if im scoped in it fires even faster
so it fires 1 to 2 bullets in 3 seconds... slight difference to 50 Rate Of Fire
I think he means the clip empties in 1 second, 2 seconds, or 3 seconds
i have a pistal with 236,542 damage and does 9,999,999 damage per hit. it is a pealescent weapon i got for some one online. every shot no matter what level the enemy it kills him with one shot.

ive seen a movie of a fully auto-matic sniper with regerating ammo which puts out 900+ damage per hit.
i want it so bad :<
