Changes: Laser Sight

Revision as of 03:16, 11 September 2019

Laser Sight is a tier 2 skill in Axton's Guerrilla skill tree. It increases Axton's Sabre Turret accuracy.

Effects

Sabre Turret Accuracy: +10% per level

Level	1	2	3	4	5
Turret Accuracy	+10%	+20%	+30%	+40%	+50%

^{There are no class mods that boost this skill beyond 5 levels.}

Notes

The turret obtains a visible green laser sight.
Although the accuracy advantage is only necessary if the turret is deployed to target enemies from great distances, it can help in close-range combat to keep track of what the turret is targeting.
The skill doesn't actually increase the turret's accuracy. Rather, the turret now aims for the target's head rather than their body, and the smaller target means that fewer shots will actually hit. So in effect, it actually reduces accuracy. It also forces the turret to spend more time locking on to a target before firing, which lowers DPS.
Even if the turret is destroyed, the green laser will still be visible.

Trivia

If Double Up has been invested into, the second gun won't have a laser sight; unlike as shown in the Borderlands 2 Trailer.

-*The accuracy advantage is significant but unnecessary, unless a player is in the habit of setting the turret up to fire at enemies from great distances. However, even in close range action, the nominal expenditure of a single skill point into Laser Sight is often worth it, simply to keep track of what the turret is targeting, especially to take advantage of the [[Slag]] effect if [[Double Up]] is active.
-**The skill doesn't actually increase the turret's accuracy in the normal sense (such as by reducing spread). Rather, the turret merely aims for the target's head rather than the rest of their body, and the smaller target means that fewer shots will actually hit. So in effect, it actually ''reduces'' accuracy. It also forces the turret to spend more time locking on to a target before firing, which lowers DPS.
