(The red text for this weapon is obviously referencing warhammer 40k, not "the hudsucker proxy". That bit of "trivia" has been removed.) |

Special Weapon Effects
you know... for him. – Increased magazine size and damage. Reduced fire rate and accuracy. Fires a 6-round burst (7 if the gun stock is Dahl) when zoomed in.
Usage & Description
While the Emperor has exceptional stats, its rate of fire is lower than most very rare SMGs, but this is offset by the ~50% damage boost per round. An elemental Emperor has more base damage per round than all but a few non-elemental SMGs, making it one of the best elemental SMGs.
Even proponents of Dahl weapons may feel that this weapon has lackluster usage and most Dahl weapons are already easy enough to use. Its low fire rate can even betray its other boosts to accuracy, as it requires more user input to stay on target for the entirety of the burst, especially on a moving target. This is offset by only needing 66% of the rounds in the burst to hit to do as much damage as another Dahl SMG.
The Emperor should be used as a mid-to-long range weapon. Its ability to fire a large burst while maintaining decent accuracy makes it ideal for critical hits.
Trivia
- The Emperor's stats were improved via a hotfix on October 15th, 2013 as part of the Borderlands 2 $100,000 Loot Hunt. The magazine size of all variants was increased by 8, while its listed damage was increased by 8%. This change has since been made permanent as of Patch 1.8.
- The flavor text is a reference to the tabletop game Warhammer 40,000. "For the Emperor!" is a war cry of the soldiers of the Imperium of Man, ruled by the God-Emperor of Mankind.
