I stumbled across a great video today that compared the best Borderlands 2 Sniper Rifles to one another.
It showed them against the firing dummy, as well as in live action -- which was particularly nice, since the best weapon against the enemies at the firing range may not be the best in live combat.
The sniper rifle variants:
1) Moloko Sniper Rifle
2) Railer Sniper Rifle
3) White Death Sniper Rifle
4) Muckamucks Sniper Rifle
5) Calipeens Sniper Rifle
6) Elephant Gun Sniper Rifle
7) Skullmasher Sniper Rifle
8) Longbow Sniper Rifle
9) Sloth Sniper Rifle
10) Volcano Sniper Rifle
11) Invader Sniper Rifle
12) Trespasser Sniper Rifle
13) Buffalo Sniper Rifle
14) Cobra Sniper Rifle
15) Hawkeye Sniper Rifle
16) Pimpernel Sniper Rifle
Some of these used burst fire, some of them were elemental (i.e. fire, explosive, corrosive, electrocutive).
Kudos to him for this great video. By the way, he makes use of Zer0 / Zero the Assassin's skill tree for sniping, badass points, and does testing WITH and WITHOUT The Bee shield. This is WITH the patch that nerfs The Bee too. Sloth was pretty much his favorite it seemed, though he warns that it isn't meant for faster enemies and that a fire sloth against a fire resistant enemy does not necessary hold up well.
Did you know that you can get behind the counter in Marcus's shop?
It takes a bit of work to get this glitch done (you may die a couple of times)...But it can be done. You have to bounce yourself across the screen using grenades to explode your way from different points throughout the map.
But if you are dedicated...and have enough time on your hands, then it's worth attempting it for fun! Remember: do not use a grenade mod when doing this. Cool secret, huh? Having a video guide definitely helps.
Did you know that you can use Zero the Assassin to solo Terramorphous the Invincible while using ONLY melee?
It isn't easy -- and you'll likely need to practice before giving it a shot, but it can be done.
Check out this awesome video below of someone soloing against this boss with the Zer0 the Assassin character class. You can use the video as a guide for tips on killing / beating the boss quickly. It does show how you can kill Terramorphous easily after all using his sword. So get ready to destroy him all alone!
If you like Borderlands, then you may be excited to know that it is coming out for the Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad! Basically -- iOS mobile devices. It's called Borderlands Legends. You'll be able to get it from the Apple Store.
It is a tractical, strategy shooter where you control Roland the Soldier, Brick the Berserker, Lilith the Siren, and Mordecai the Sniper. Yep -- all Borderlands 1 characters instead of Borderlands 2 characters! Each level is randomized when enemies and monsters and bosses, and there's no real story. It's just solid tactical gameplay while you control all 4 of these character classes at once. There's buttons in the top right corner that allow you to issue fast commands too -- such as group healing, shields, and aggro (aggravation / distracts enemies to focus their attacks on Brick).
Check the video below to see a nice preview of Borderlands Legends Gameplay:
Just like with the original Borderlands and Borderlands 2, there is loot! After each level, you get money to spend on Marcus's vending machine, which has its guns and items change every time you beat a level. This way you never know what you're going to get -- a badass shotgun, a great sniper rifle, an elemental SMG, a powerful rocket launcher, a cool pistol, or a lovely combat rifle or revolver.
Note that each character has a skilltree (linear) and 3 special skills a piece.
What's the worst weapon in the game? If you've been doing the missions from Marcus, then chances are you've already encountered it.
It's the cursed gun called The Bane. This gun would be great...if it didn't make you move very slow and made annoying noises when you fire it and reload it. If it didn't make you slow, then it would be a good gun for sure (while your sound is on mute). Too bad there's no way to remove the negative special effect.
The special effect text that gives it all the negative aspects is in Spain, stays mainly on the plain.
Here's a video of this bad boy in action.
It is by far the most funny gun in the game, but don't expect to want to use it.
