[Devolver]

I'll be online for about another 20 mins of anyone is interested in co-op. I've yet to try any multiplayer yet (NAT 3, and Idk if it'll work or not) but really curious to give it a whirl. PSN xDevolverx if not tonight, I should be around most of the day tomorrow, and late in the evening. I'm down for either picking up with current character (46 Roland) or trying a new job from scratch.

Also. I'm interested in setting up some gear trading if anyone is interested. To be specific I'm looking for an Assault Rifle. This is what I have currently, and am looking to upgrade.

TCH30 Steel Havoc (Torgue)
Damage: 94 (+27%)
Acc: 88.3
Fire Rate: 10.4 (+43%)

May seem low for my current job, when there's easily assault rifles avaliable with 175+ damage, but I'm looking for something that's not 3-burst, but fully automatic (like my current one). Something with higher damage, and a fire rate above 10. Acc above 85 is ok with me.

I have a few pieces I would be willing to split with that I believe would be worth something. A BLR Cruel Firehawk (Repeater, x4 Fire, 'Bring the HEAT!' mod), A EQ10 Bloody Equalizer (Revolver, +13 Ammo regen, 'Unending Firepower' mod), and if its reeeeealy good, there's a fucking pimp sniper rifle I just picked up this evening. Its a GGN Volcano with x4 fire. Very effective with a +elemental/fire damage setup, or even without. Its become my fulltime sniper, but I'll part with it if the assault rifle is worthwhile. Also, I've been playing this for awhile, and I can't remember which guns are boss-specific. So if any of these are, my apologies.

If anyone is interested, I'll gladly provide the specifics of each weapon in question if requested. Either pm me, post, or message me on PSN, I'll be floating around all 3.

This might be a stupid question, but what does it mean for 'x2' or 'x3' to flash in and out on the damage of your gun? Does it multiply the damage every time you shoot someone? Or only on crits? Cause I have some low dmg guns, but has like a 'x11' multiplier, which makes them decent.

[Blabj]

Number of projectiles fired (I think it's only applicable to shotguns?)

[Thunder]

Shotguns can have them and so can SMGs, revolvers, rocket launchers, repeater pistols. Never've seen it on combat rifles.

[Kiarax]

It's how many projectiles it fires (and essentially damage, just connecting with a 37 x10 damage gun wont do 370 damage worth unless all 10 shots hit). Works a little different for rapid fire guns, not too sure on the specifics. I just know my 37 x4 SMG I've been using since level 16 rapes faces.

[meeeeeep]

You can get some SMGs and rocket lawn chairs that also fire multiple shots, but yeah, it's primarily shotguns.

Also, can someone explain something to me?

Most elemental weapons I've found have really low base damage (a good example would be my 166 damage combat rifle vs a 50 damage combat rifle with fire x4) Does the fire damage really make up for the extremely low damage in the amount of time it usually takes to kill someone? Or would I just be better off using a high powered gun?

[Rivero]

Depends on what you are fighting. Humans for example take more fire damage and thus it's probably worth getting the elemental effect going. I've also gotten second winds/procs just from enemies dying via fire DoT's so that's another thing to consider.

Regardless, I'd look at other secondary effects before deciding. It's not always just about the damage. : p

[Kiarax]

It gets added damage on flesh aswell as the dot effect too. I'm not certain how the elemental effect damage is worked out, but by the end of the game it wasn't uncommon to see over 100 damage/tic on burned enemies. Corroding some of the armoured enemies at the end of the game did hundreds of damage per tic. It's also obviously a lot safer at times. You can pop a few enemies from medium distance, set them on fire and then duck back down behind cover and half the time they'll die with zero risk.

It can be especially good with Lilith. I have 5/5 Spark (+20% elemental chance), +3 Spark on my class mod aswell as +30% elemental SMG chance. I found an SMG with "Very high elemental chance" explosion damage and it is ridiculous, quite literally every shot explodes.

Edit: Oh, and Corrode can be especially nice. Not only does it spread between nearby targets it also makes other attacks on corroded enemies do more damage.

I went the Rogue route on my Hunter and I feel like it's lackluster, sometimes the bird doesn't even bring health back which is mainly how I use him (a health recovery tool). Any recommendations on good talents you guys have found useful? I'm thinking reload time on my guns and accuracy increase make the most sense, maybe the Sniper route?

I'd be up for trading also, just add me on Steam ID: iQuench

You can swap the Faster Reload with Ransack for extra lewts. I love this build. Pretty much just lob Bloodwing whenever he's up and if he hasn't killed everything already your insane revolver/repeater damage just takes care of whatever is left alive.

If anyone wants to do any online games on the PS3 later my PSN is in my sig. Just add me and message or PM me, whatever. I'm only like level 14 though.

PS3 update actually fixed the sound issues I was having but it's still having some stutter though.

[Tylerl]

lol, just got rolled by Moe and Marley after clearing the safehouse. None of my guns seem to do shit to them, fucking skags.

Dodge when they charge or do their ranged and attack their skin or the mouth when it opens, not the armor, and they should go down fast.
