Talk: The Clipper

Revision as of 22:10, 6 January 2011

I got a level 12 variation of the weapon when I killed Nine-Toes at a later point in the game. I went to kill him when I was at level 19, up to the part in the story where you enter the mine to kill Sledge. Nine-Toes was at level 14, and dropped the improved version of the gun. (I'll uploada screenshot as proof if needed) Is this normal for respawned bosses to have their levels 'scaled' to some degree when you reach certain parts of the story/certain levels? --HybridDragoness 01:42, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

Can this be classed as a melee weapon?

I mean, it's just a pistol with a bayonnette. If so, should we include Sledges' shotgun and the other weapons with bayonettes etc into the melee catagory? Or should the Melee weapon catagory be changed to the melee attacks of each character, like the knife, sirens' thrusty thingy etc.

I think it was originally intended to be any weapon with knife attachments. To make it easier to find guns people had put in that they could look forward to finding if they want melee bonuses. --Slyrat 16:10, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for clearing it up :P --LysanderLSD 17:23, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

Machine Pistol?

This guns seems more like a Repeater Pistol then a Machine Pistol in all aspects except the fire rate. Its shape, the fact that its fire rate is 9, ect. I also found that the guide refers to it as a "flame-type repeater". Overseer Tange 19:48, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

Machine pistols typically have higher average clip size and fire rate, while The Clipper can have a very low fire rate and usually a 20 round clip. It's a repeater pistol. (And chances are, since this game has been out quite a while, you aren't going to 'discover' anything new or groundbreaking, especially having to do with the classification of a weapon that every single player /has to/ find at one point or another. It's already been well established. Thank you for your input, but NO.) --Monster

Many machine pistols have a fire rate of ~9.0 but they are still classified under machine pistols because their parts / in-game classification say so. That they are referred to as repeaters may be due to broad categorization, as the weapon type of (repeater) pistol includes repeater pistols and machine pistols; similar to how combat rifles "include" support machineguns - the name applies to the weapon type and the subtype. nagy talk

But The Clipper has no parts, it is a boss drop, same name and parts every time. (At least in name and effects, not statewise.) It is most similar to a generic Repeater, (higher accuracy, lower fire rate) more so then a generic Machine Pistol (higher fire rate, lower accuracy). Overseer Tange 22:10, January 6, 2011 (UTC)
