Forum:Rank the manufacturers

title says it all. I'll start:

1. S+S Awesome look, fast and accurate guns with tech at leats as 3/4 good as Maliwan, and huge mags to boot.

2. Atlas I'd probably put them at number one if their prime examples weren't so rare. All around awesome and balanced stats, a top tier weapon will likely out-gun any other comparable example from another brand. Pretty spiffy looking, too.

3. Hyperion Fast and accurate, a number of their legendaries have some nifty features. they seem to have a hidden recoil reduction in the material properties, too. They alsp reload really quickly, second only to Tediore.

4. Mailwan Can't go wrong with a Hellfire. In fact, this is so true that it's almost a detriment to the game. I love elemental weapons, but have started to avoid some of the Maliwan legendaries in favor of using somthing that provides a bit more challenge.

5. Tediore I know most people like to hate on Tediore, but I occasionally run across some Tediore guns that are just to good to not use. They make some excellent shotguns, combat rifles, and SMGs. Most 9999999 guns that I have found are Tediores. Their Anarchies are so fun, because they're tiny, fast and reload in the blink of an eye. I'll often select a Tediore anarchy over a more powerful model just to watch the bullet storm blast out of this little shintsy box that empties out and is ready again before you even notice it.

6. Dahl/Torgue. It's tough for me to find anything really exceptional about these guys. I regularly use several of their models, but nothing really screams "awesome" to me. They're just regular, "working man's" guns. That being said, you could probably pick up any one of them that you see and start using it with decent success.

8. Jakobs. Yeah, yeah. You think it should be higher up their, right? I used to think so, too. Unfortunately, aside from the Bessie, the Unforgiven, the Skullmasher and some of their top tier Mashers, their compnay mantra is a joke. It almost ALWAYS takes more than one shot, and by the time I'm ready with the next, my shield is down halfway. Sorry, Jakobs. Your terrifying power is just still not enough to make up for your terrible ROF.

9. Eridian. Eridians are fun for a while. I've had some good success with Lightnings and Thunderstorms. I've even played around with some of the new elemental guns from Knoxx. They're ok if you don't have anything better, but they're outdone by every other weapon of a similar nature and comparable level in the game. It's nice to have infinite firewpower, btu even with 50 proficiency, it just takes too damn long to recharge.

10. Vlaadof. Can someone explain to me anything Vlaadof has going for it? No, seriously, anything? Their propaganda suggests they have higer fire rates. Well, they do, but I've never seen anything that wasn't at least near a Vlaadof's ROF in a comparable model. They aren't especially powerful, their accuracy is a joke, and their slightly higher ROF in most cases is just not enough to redeem every other terrible stat on the gun. It's like they made everything totally average and equal, but instead it all adds up to suck. I guess no less should be expected from a communist brand, though.GT: ConceitedJarrad XBOX360 04:44, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
