Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 798 Joined: 2 Dec 2008     | The Volcano sniper is pretty damn good. It's a legendary sniper with absolutely massive fire damage. Seriously, it's insane. |

Oh yea, well i have a plywood sniper that can kill pup scags IN NINE SHOTS! |
Beat Writer  Posts: 153 Joined: 17 Oct 2009     | Volcano legendary sniper, and probably the white legendary one, which I forgot the name of. Imo |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1097 Joined: 25 Feb 2008   | Not found a decent sniper yet but a machinegun with 99.3 accuracy, no recoil and a 2,3x scope counts as one in my opinion. 105 damage, 4x explosions, high elemental chance, rof of 12 and magazine of 81 doesn't hurt either. |

On the Record  Posts: 7555 Joined: 11 Jul 2009    | I think it is the Volcano sniper. I don't know though, I don't have it yet |

I love that gun so much... it has saved my ass so many times against those damn Playthrough 2 enemies. I have another Sniper Rifle that does 100 more base damage than it, yet the Volcano kills everything quicker. Pele demands a sacrifice! |

It's probably the only rifle that a Sniper specced Mordecai can use that rivals a Gunslinger spec wielding a Masher revolver. Those things are obscenely powerful. |

Can't wait to find one... The volcano is also super accurate, you can even no-scope effectively with it. |

16 More levels till I can use mine :'( |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 798 Joined: 2 Dec 2008 |
16?! Holy shit, i thought it was only about 10. Are you still holding four rifles on you for level 30 odd?
Add maxed Gun Crazy to a masher and you've got a 40% chance to hit twice with each shot. With higher end ones that's be around 200x14 damage, with 70-80 accuracy. And a scope. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 778 Joined: 9 Sep 2008 |
Nah, I sold them as they were pretty much useless, ones with less than 95 accuracy etc. Yeah I think I need to be lvl 37 for my Volcano, and im 21 I think :S |

Nice. I'm really going to have to find a new launcher soon. This one's more funny than genuinely useful. |

Great for destroying peoples framerates with maxed Master Blaster though :P |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2443 Joined: 19 Feb 2009   | Hmmm why does my sniper seem amazingly week right now.... well Anyway I prefer explosive damage because for some reason it just hurts more then both incendiary and thunder(or whatever it's called) And corrosive I'm not sure about because It keeps on ticking and I never had the time to count xD |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2478 Joined: 12 Jul 2008  | 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. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 106 Joined: 17 Sep 2008 | 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? 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 work |

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. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1211 Joined: 31 Aug 2009 | 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. |

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. 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. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 860 Joined: 23 Jan 2009  | 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. |

I'm currently using a Liquid Sniper that does 403 damage and 200% Criticals, and 98% accuracy. I'm just wondering if there's any better rifles than that that people have found, and where. I'm level 34 right now, and have had that rifle since level 23. I have yet to find a better one.
