Poll: Borderlands 2: Manufacturer discussion

[Pinstar]

You are mostly idiots. The thing with a gun, any gun, is that you don't want to be fiddling about putting bullets into it whilst some monstrosity is killing you. It is vital that when you pull the trigger whatever is on the other end dies.

Explosive ammo affects all creature types and Torque shotguns are monstrous. End of line.

Saying that though the best AR I saw was Vladof pruple lightning gun that was scoped, pinpoint accurate, had a RoF of 12.5 and big damage. It didn't do explosive damage though so rapidly became obsolete.

What good is explosive damage if you can't hardly hit anything? I agree with the fact that explosive is universally effective, thus making it the most useful of the damage types, but those Gyrojet bullets are so hard to aim. The sole exception being shotguns. I'll take a good Torgue shotgun if one comes my way.

Y U NO INCLUDE ATLAS?!

I usually end up with Atlas guns without noticing. They'll last me for a few levels too

But...
Atlas went out of business and doesn't appear in Borderlands 2.

They were my fave but...

Same dude, it was probably because they were the best over all gun-manufacturers.
Doesn't anybody else find the explanation for there disappearance to be wired? Sure they left but they left a lot of guns and soldiers on Pandora too. Dahl had a disastrous mining operation, they left and yet you still see their guns.

I also miss S&S munitions, its funny that they claim to have more variety but they actually have less brands.

I'm a Jackobs man myself, according to hyperion I have a privet place reserved for me in hell along side with Pedophiles.

 

[Dead Seerius]

1. Jakobs

2. Tediore (mostly for the reloads)

3. Maliwan.

RIP Atlas. You would've been my 2nd place if this were Borderlands Uno.

 

[Lt. Rocky]

I've been really enjoying the shotguns and gatling rifles from Torgue, and the scoped weapons made by Dahl.

Shame S&S never came back for the sequal. I fancied the tech they'd put on their weapons to compliment their large ammo clips. I'm hoping they'll make a return in a DLC pack.

 

[Xan Krieger]

I love revolvers both in games and real life so Jakobs gets my vote. Seriously I tend to use them over assault rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles, I just need a revolver to do the job.

 

[Darklord008]

It usually depends on the moment, but I went with Bandit, just for the awesome designs. All I know is that I really miss S&S Munitions. I freaking LOVED S&S in the first game.

 

[Brendan Stepladder]

Why do you make me choose between my children!?!?!
'
Maliwan barely gets a lead over Vladof and Dahl.

RIP S&S: greatest manufacturer of all time.

 

[Shockolate]

Anything not made by Dahl.

How am I supposed to make rapid, high precision shots when the gun burst fires? I can kill most enemies in one shot with my crit modifiers, I don't need to use extra bullets. Burst firing is worse than full auto.

Seriously, if it's Dahl, it's garbage in my opinion.

 

[Master Kuja]

I like my SMGs Maliwan flavour, my shotguns Hyperion flavour and my sniper rifles Jakobs/Vladof flavour.

Seriously.
Hyperion shotguns.
Case in point: The Conference Call.

 

[deathninja]

I loved Vladof in the first game; still a fan here due to obscene amounts of dakka.

Jakobs are good for pistols, and Dahl make some nice pieces, but I'm still siding with the Reds here.

 

[Pinstar]

I have to agree with the love for S&S in the first game. Their supposed replacement, bandit... doesn't really do it for me, except for their launchers. You can't argue with an 8 rocket clip for just unloading into a boss.

 

[Tentaquil]

Gunzerking with the Torgue explosive rounds does a helluva lot of damage, especially the shotguns. The AR's can be difficult, but worth it to master.

Also, as the ad says...

IF YOU DON'T BUY TORGUE, YOU'RE RETARDED

 

[V8 Ninja]

I do love myself some Hyperion shotguns. I am also a frequent user of Torque shotguns and Bandit SMGs.

 

[4173]

My playstyle involves a lot of second winds (somewhat intentionally) so I favor the explode-y Torgue.

 

[Ironman126]

I loved Vladof in the first game; still a fan here due to obscene amounts of dakka.

I am so very glad that I am not the only one who uses that term. I always say "This guns has soooo much dakka" and all my friends stare at me in confusion, the ignorant sods. Glad too see someone else using the term "dakka."

OT: Gotta go with Vladof for the same reason as above. Vladof frickin' sniper rifles are the best ever.

 

[Jynthor]

I only just started playing Borderlands 2 so I don't know exactly what the differences are between the manufacturers. But so far I'm liking Maliwan because I'm playing as Maya. The Incendiary Sniper Rifle is a thing of beauty.

 

[Save us.A7X]

Playing as Zero so Jakobs has been my go to company for my sniper at least.

Actually, I find Hyperion sniper rifles to be much better for a dedicated sniper.
The initial sway is annoying, yes, but there's practically no recoil. In fact, when you shoot, the camera just vibrates a bit, but the cross-hair stays dead on target. It's fantastic for lining up multiple crits quickly.
Additionally, accuracy increasing effects, like from skills or badass ranks, reduces the initial sway.

Finally picked up a decent Hyperion sniper and I can kinda see what you mean, Hyperion is definitely more accurate. Not sure though I think I still prefer Jakobs if only for the slightly higher rate of fire, who knows though, it seems to be growing on me.

 

[Ravinoff]

Jakobs. Always Jakobs. Best sniper rifles, bar none. They make some really nice ARs too, as well as revolvers. Dahl and Tediore I'm not too big on, mostly because they don't really excel at anything. Hyperion are...eh. I don't do nearly enough sustained shooting to make real use of them, but the Hyperion sniper rifle you get for doing the bandit-killing contract is hilarious. I tend to be fairly indifferent on Maliwan stuff, don't use elemental damage unless it's absolutely necessary.

As an added bonus, Jakobs guns look the best, too. Maliwan looks like they were designed by Apple, the checkered pattern on Torgue just looks weird. Dahl camo swings between decent and hideous, and the patterns on Tediore guns can be a bit eye-searing.

 

[Ix Rebound]

Most of my guns are Tediore. The fact they explode on reload is so handy! I do also have a Jackobs pistol that has 226 dam and 100% melee damage. Don't really go wrong.

i loved that gun!
too bad I accidentally sold it -_-
