(Removed the "crippling fire rate", as it's only about 30% less than other high-end SMGs, and is more than offset by the damage boost. The fire rate is still high enough to "crit-lock".) Tag: Visual edit |

- For the unreleased vehicle in Borderlands 3, see Emperor (vehicle).
The Emperor is a legendary submachine gun manufactured by Dahl. Emperor is obtained randomly from any loot source but has an increased chance to drop from Assassin Wot, Assassin Oney, Assassin Reeth, or Assassin Rouf in Southpaw Steam & Power and Digistruct Peak.
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
