    Using moze is a really dumb idea since most of the bullets will be incendiary due to her skills. Similar things go for mayhem levels and higher level characters. There’s so much visual puke going on it’s hard to tell what’s native to the gun and what’s a skill or modifier.

    as said before, Jakobs weapons are a very stylized brand in the borderlands series. just think futurepunk meets spaghetti western.
    Torgue brand is all about boom, boom, BOOM. Every round fired is an explosive gyro jet at least. Mr. Torgue High-Five Flexington (yes his actual full name, and yes mr is part of it) has one question for you, and one question only. Explosions!? If your answer is yes he'll consider you a friend.
    Maliwan are the typical 'elegant futuristic weapons' design and always deal elemental damage, which the ones in 3 are fire, shock, corrosive, radiation, and cryo
    COV....Think Mad Max but instead of cars they dieselpunked their guns
    Dahl is the very 'we are the elite military weapons manufacturer. Our weapons are for professionals!'
    Vladof philosophy is 'fire all the bullets, more, more, more!' And also brand as the people's manufacturer, in a 'seize the means of production' sense.
    Hyperion (one not depicted here) is essentially High tech, high quality, and you're paying an extra premium for that.
    Tediore is the working man's manufacturer. Low cost, low quality, heck they don't even come with removable magazines. Instead, just toss the gun, and they'll send you a brand new one, full of ammo.
    Edit: forgot one
    Atlas. Focus on super smart tech, to act smarter than they are. Secondary fire launches tracking beacons. Then primary fire can home in on those beacons. Essentially, homing smart bullets

      Yes! Absolutely! Jonathan should try to regain his sanity with Ground Branch, the weapons are rendered beautifully, the game focuses on realism, and is highly customizable with the gunsmith, but within reason, so you can't just put a grip on a gun without a rail, and some weapons need rail adapters to mount optics too. Plus, it literally has 4 variants of Jonathan's favorite smg, the mp5. Sure, it's still in Early Access, but I think he'd really enjoy the effort the devs put into it and it's weapons, plus, if it was showcased on this channel, it could get some much deserved popularity.

    For my request for what you do next, can you revisit Hunt Showdown? There are a ton more weapons you could analyze, some that you missed and others added later. There are some pretty esoteric ones like the officer carbine, the bomblance, winfield talon that would be cool to hear about. You could even do a special segment on custom ammunition as that was added recently, like slugs, dumdum or flechette! So much potential there!

    The guns in Borderlands come with randomised parts. Legendary guns have some of their parts locked, but some are variable, that may give same legendary gun different looks and effects. 14:06 Underbarrel attachments are a quirk of the VLADOF manufacturer, and Magnificent can have a number of different ones depending on the variation, including shotgun, minirockets, taser and a multibarrel.
    3:06 is a COV (bandit) weapon- those are crudely jury-rigged from different parts and pieces of other guns. They don't need to reload and feed from your ammo reserve directly, but overuse causes them to overheat or break which serves as sort-of reload function. Some COV guns have special effects while on fire.

    So the first word of borderlands’ guns is the weapon prefix, which is different depending on what version of the gun you find. So “Gatling Gatling Gun” is really just “Gatling Gun” and that particular prefix is a modifier that increases fire rate

    My theory regarding the spoked drum mags is that each spoke is as Jonathan mentioned aligning with the chamber and so what happens is each mag is loaded inside a larger non rotating outer drum with a single feed location at the chamber and so as each mag rotates around a round is pushed by the follower against the inside of the outer part of the drum until it aligns with the chamber where it runs into a feeding mechanism and is pushed up and into the chamber.

    The shoulder-mounted flak gun is a direct shout out to the Borderlands 2 Fireworks grenade which goes out, arcs up, and rains death on pretty much everything nearby, including you if you didn't get it out far enough. It outright says in the weapon description that that thing's not really meant for indoor use.

  • @Amadrath
    @Amadrath Před 2 lety

    One interesting aspect of guns in Borderlands 3 is, that every manufacturer has his own concept:
    Dahl: Two firing modes out of: Semi-Auto, Burst, Full-Auto. Including different magnifications. Low recoil, high accuracy.
    Atlas: Some kind of homing feature, usually in combination with some tagging device. Slow projectiles, usually non-elemental damage.
    COV: Reloading replaced by overheating/repair mechanic. Usually firing in full-auto mode, features a combustion engine as driver, resulting in windup time.
    Hyperion: Front-shield while aiming, usually with extra effects (i.e. bullet reflection), scattering decreases during automatic firing.
    Maliwan: Always elemental damage, can usually switch between two different elements. Firing mode usually full-auto with significant wind-up time
    Jakobs: Western-style weapons, usually bolt- or pump-action. High crit-damage with additional effects (i.e. Ricochet on critical hit)
    Tediore: Weapon is disposed of, instead of reloading. Disposed weapon explodes and can turn into turret/drone for some time, beforehand. Fully loaded weapon digi-structs in the hands of the user.
    Vladof: Under-barrel weapons. Generally, high fire-rates. Low recoil.
    Torgue: Explosive projectiles, with impact or "sticky" fire-modes. In sticky mode, projectiles stick to surfaces, and detonate simultaneously at given condition (i.e. weapon reload), doing extra damage.

  • @DoctorWilsonVer1
    @DoctorWilsonVer1 Před 2 lety

    The Bandit/Scav/COV guns' aesthetic is that they are literally cobbled together from scrap parts that the insane fringe groups thought would be cool. Originally they just had large magazines balanced by large reload times due to this cobbled together nature. BL3 and onward they don't need to reload, ever, but firing them too much forces them to overheat/break which triggers a randomized repair animation. Whenever they're pulled out they also need to have a rip-cord pulled or a key turned as if starting the ignition of an internal combustion engine.
