Nice. I'm really going to have to find a new launcher soon. This one's more funny than genuinely useful.Lukeydoodly said:
What is the best Sniper Rifle on Boarderlands?

Jesus, I thought I was playing obsessively. I'm level 28 right now, and I haven't found anything that even came close to yours, but to be honest, I don't even use sniper rifles. I much prefer scoped revolvers for long range combat.
The highest straight up damage (With no elemental effects) sniper rifle I have found is a purple Jakobs at 1047 damage, with 95.7% accuracy.
Sweet... revolvers kick ass in BL. Mordecai is the only char I have yet to do a playthrough with, would you reccomend a gunslinger build?Rusty Bucket said:
I haven't really found any superweapons yet. My Lilith has a Hellfire SMG with insane damage but the fire rate is slow, I think its only 4.5. Still my first choice for most enemies though.
Profound and wise, yet sends the message that you know not what you speak of... Good workMerrik Waters said:

Cyclops, it has something like 10x zoom when used. Also the bullets are said to travel instantly - no need to lead targets.
There's also one called the Invader? Regardless the gun I'm thinking of shoots like a masher. 5 rounds instantly with a tight spread - all 5 bullets hit most of the time.

I'm lvl 32 on my 4th charecter (Siren) I have a revolver that recharges ammo at 50+
My real pride and joy?
A 2 shot 4 corrosive revolver, that does 472 dammage, and +80 reload speed and 97 accuracy. It out powers my 545 dammage Jakobs sniper easily.
Fucking Hand cannon. No scope though, but I use the crosshair then tap right click and fire tactic, so it's just as accurate

A Gunslinger/Bloodwing build is probably one of the highest DPS builds in the game. A maxed Bloodwing is ridiculous, especially alongside a Masher. Saying that though, i'd avoid maxing the pigeon, it does kind of turn things into easy mode, even in playthrough 2. Maybe try mixing Gunslinger and Sniper, you'll have close-long range completely covered and there'll still be some challenge in the game.miracleofsound said:
All "Volcano" means on a sniper rifle is that it has a guaranteed Fire proc (x4, "Pele demands a sacrifice! in red text"). It's not a unique weapon, and will have randomised stats like any other.Rusty Bucket said:
It's not necessarily going to be the "best" fire proc sniper rifle. I've been using an LB7 Liquid Wrath with a x3 fire proc that was better than both of the Volcano snipers I've found.
The Volcano snipers i've found have all been orange, meaning they're legendary. Yes, they have randomised stats, but they will always have x4 fire with the 'Pele demands a sacrifice' red text. Damage, accuracy etc. will change, obviously.GloatingSwine said:
I do find it odd, that even with the harsh level system in Borderlands that some of my best weapons I got when I was many levels lower, and I've just help on to them.
Even more confusing is that the coloured "rarity" system means nothing most of the time.

My sniper rifle was awesome, can't remember my specs.
I love my revolver too, 149 damage in one shot, i don't care about the accuracy since i generally miss in pistol range.

Entirely true. Most of the Orange and Yellow items I've seen have been trash, whereas most of my good weapons have been Purples.Sneaklemming said:
I basically ignore the rarity and level, stats are all that matter.
Yep. I have a L48 version of the Cobalt Volcano with 712 damage, 150% crits, and 4x Fire effect. Anything without a shield is dead from a single shot in playthough 2.5.Rusty Bucket said:
Volcano sniper I use does just over 800 damage, 200% criticals, 4x fire effect with the "Pele demands a sacrifice" text.
The other sniper I use often does 175x6, 150% criticals, 98.5 accuracy, 2.1 fire rate, with the "Makes their brain hurt" text. Ends Badmutha Brutes and Crimson Lance in one shot.
My revolvers also do ridiculous damage with ridiculous stats.
My previous best sniper was purple, all of these are orange or dark orange.
