Okay, so I've been modding lightly for a while now, and I've come to realize just how broad the spectrum of potential wepaons in Borderlands is. After playing with my girlfirend and her brother for a while we've collectively seen one gun with the maximum possible damage drop legitimately, and it is glorious. Personally, mind you, I have terrible luck, and have farmed Craw, the Armory, New Haven, various bosses, the last chest in the Eridian Promontory, and while I've found a few decent guns, they always have some crucial flaw, like no accuracy, or worst of all, when the only thing wrong is it's missing a scope. So I've been building constructs to bring joy back into the game (which was becoming a dismal life of farming)
There are resources here listing plenty of legit guns, and elsewhere I've found collections of silly over-modded Shredder Shredders, but I haven't seen very many compelling construct lists. Maybe that's because gearcalc pretty much covers it, but there are some combinations I've found that I didn't expect. So what's your favorite construct?
For example, my favorites are:
Dahl Anaconda (Incendiary x2) - needed a good fire revolver. Was sick of Firehawk/Hellfire.
Dmg: 911
Acc: 94.7
RoF: 1.0
Hyperion Executioner (Titles as Detonating Invader, elemental x3) - All +tech parts so it can hit x3
Dmg: 389
Acc: 97.8
RoF: 2.1
Jacobs Striker - Just plain max damage; I've found the shotguns to be difficult in this game - the accuracy is a must, and the max damage makes it actually do something when you're more than three feet away..
Dmg: 9x415
Acc: 56.7
RoF: 0.7
So what's the most surprisingly useful or just downright sweet construct you've made? WhackyGordon 22:55, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
