- This article is about an assault rifle featured in Borderlands. For other uses, see CHOPPER.
The Chopper is a unique machine gun manufactured by Vladof.
Examples are on the talk page.
Special Weapon Effects
RAR! BRAR BRAR! – Unloads the entire magazine with one trigger pull unless interrupted. Fires 4-round spreads with an ammo cost of 6.
Drop Guide
- Drops from Motorhead during or after Little People, Big Experiments (not guaranteed).
Notes
- It is possible to interrupt The Chopper with a melee attack, reloading or switching guns.
- It is impossible for any ammo regeneration bonuses to keep up with the fire rate of the gun.
- When combined with a Heavy Gunner + team members with Support Gunner/Centurion class mods + Roland's Overload and Assault skills, the magazine can hold more than 1120 combat rifle bullets with the maximum combat rifle SDU.
- Because of The Chopper's special effect, it's possible to start firing the gun, and then sprint in the desired direction while the gun continues to fire.
- The Chopper seems to have a rarer drop cycle than most boss-specific guns do. It is an uncommon drop from Motorhead but may be farmed.
Trivia
- The red text is a palindromic and onomatopoeic representation of a revving engine.
- The Chopper with a RoF? of 18.0 takes only twelve and a half seconds to fire 1120 rounds.
Mechanics
The Chopper effect comes from the acc4_TheChopper accessory. This part is solely responsible for all of The Chopper's characteristics, and is loosely based on acc4_Deathly. The Chopper is made of Material_TheChopper_3, which is equivalent to Material_Vladof_3. The Chopper's only part restriction is the magazine, which must be mag4 or mag5 (not mag2 or mag5_VladofRevolution). Please see stat modifiers for an explanation on how to interpret all of these modifiers.
