Ahh okay. I remember i had 10 health and no shield and it threw a bloody grenade out -.-

^ Noticed you're using a Torgue. The explosive effect is nice, but do all of them have that slow projectile type of fire?

The gun is actually one of the ones I forgot to feature. It's a quest reward from Marcus. I actually don't like it most of the time (it's weak as piss), but it has this really cool special effect. Sometimes on reloading, a SFX will occur and the gun will have a larger clip than usual (it's not consistent, it changes between about 300% to 500% of normal size), and has a DRASTIC increase in damage (around 10x apparently), so that 273 becomes more like 2700.

It's seriously beastly then. Like a (bit weaker than average at my level) rocket per shot. Considering rockets are a premium (and actually GOOD) in BL2, having a gun that can shoot out a large clip's worth mini rockets = godlike. The gun can actually fire really fast. I plan to try and use it on a boss at some point, and see how it fares.

EDIT: Here it is:


Thick Evil Smasher - Doesn't seem like much, but it's special effect is randomly larger clip on reload with ~10x additional damage bonus.

I found 2 interesting shields i never knew existed.

First, a 10,000 protection shield with a 13% chance to absorb a bullet that hits you. Doesn't sound like much but will come in very handy in big gun fights with bandits.

Secondly a Shield that grants immunity to Fire damage, though i dont know whether say, a fire ball would hurt you or not, or whether is just prevents you from being set on fire.

I also found an Orange Rocket Launcher but i cant for the life of me remember what it was called.

EDIT: The Launcher was called the Bustling Bunny. Damage isn't special but when you reload you throw it(Its a Tediore) it bounces round like a bunny rabbit before exploding at every point where it hit the ground/wall. Dont under estimate the power of the explosions when reloading, one killed me in one shot. I even made a video of it, but it terrible quality.

4 Aces - Seems like more of a hindrance than help most of the time, I would think.

Anyway, I have some decent stuff in playthrough 2 so far. Though the scopeless sniper is from the first playthrough (looking forward to getting the second playthrough version!)


Chickamin Buffalo - I actually like scopeless snipers, and it was still my most powerful until a couple hours or so into playthrough 2.


Klook Muckamuck - Replaced my Chikamin Buffalo. Better across the board except for one less clip size.


Blitz Granadier - Slow arcing bullets = not so great. I believe the bullets ricochet on objects (I believe they also sparked or something), probably the reason for its high value (not justified though, IMO).
^Kept it for the time being I think, will probably sell it though.


Rocket Torpedo - HUGE damage, but slow arcing bullets = suck.


Rockit Launcher - Got a replacement for my corrosive launcher, a lot more damage.


Proactive Plasma Caster - One of those special bullet guns. Pretty powerful, but most useful at close/medium range. Eats up ammo like mad.


Duble Bareld Stret Sweper - Nice upgrade over my previous launcher by about 2K damage. Replace very shortly later with one 2 levels higher.


Duble Bareld Stret Sweper - Only difference from previous one was a higher base damage and 2 levels. Shows the difference that level makes.

I don't have a picture, but I found a double barreled shotgun around level twenty six, did 225X10 damage, it was a Jakobs, with good accuracy (Upwards of sixty, which is respectable for a shotgun), very fast reload, and the best, and oddest part, it said 'uses two rounds per shot', as expected. The ammo the gun held? One. One shell, fired worth the double barrel, but only used the one shell. If I could find a triple barrel like that at level 50 (When I get there), it'd be the ultimate Jakobs.

For all the guys finding the purple guns at low levels, they aren't purple. That's magenta, meaning it's E-tech. I only realised that today, pretty annoyed because I had an e tech pistol before I sold it.

Yeah, it's annoying telling the difference, especially early on in the game.

True purple is much blander looking than e-tech's color. E-tech's color is more vibrant, and seems almost raised up from the surface compared to the other colors.

I found this a while ago. It was my first orange and so far I've never seen another shield like it.

Yeah, I found this shield yesterday, at the Wildlife Exploitation Preserve from a random drop. It's capacity is so good it's almost worth using even though it slows you down a bit. I might keep in on hand when I go up against bosses.

Where did you find yours?

Mine was in the Caustic Caverns.
