Anyone whose played borderlands 2 and those who just watch videos on this channel know very well that number 1 was bound to be norfleet without watching this video through
I almost NEVER used rockets in the game, but with commander liliths level boost I've been experimenting with other characters. Love using them with axton
J. Frank Norfleet a man who fought back against the con artists who swindled him. That explains why the launcher refunds ammo! "In 1919, J. Frank Norfleet, a 50-something Texas rancher, lost his wealth to a band of professional con men. Rather than swallow his losses or wait for the police to investigate, Norfleet decided to travel the United States wherever necessary to track down his swindlers and exact some sort of non-physical retribution." -from google books description of "The Mark Inside" He later tracked them down and had them arrested. After that he went to Denver and helped take down a group of con artists that included the Mayor (Blonger), and the DA. He wrote a book about all of this. I never read it but its summarized in Amy Reading's first book, "The Mark Inside" definitely worth a read. Good on 2K for being aware of some very niche history.
As a side note, the Hive is the unique that spawns with the Boosted Salvador Character Creation. You could potentially through the stash transfer over the Hive, Lady Fist, Heart Breaker, Scorpio, Lascaux, and Trespasser (I think) simply by starting boosted characters and using the Stash.
Norfleet can become even more deadly when mixing the ability of the grog nozzel. 3x6 etech rockets. 18 rockets that have huge AoE and huge damage, hell what could stand up to that is probably only raid bosses
I'm actually a fan of the Tunguska. It's a very silly weapon but paired with the Grog Nozzle and some Anarchy stacks it can be fun providing you don't accidentally blow yourself to bits. The reload time bothers me most about it really. I have never got a Norfleet to drop so the Topneaa is my go-to elemental rocket launcher when I need to get stuff done.
Hive took me forever to get from Saturn but it's best with the gunzerker because you dual wield the grognozzle and the badaboom use grognozzle effect gunzerker double grenade and shoot
Honestly, the Hive is incredibly useful for bloodbath because you get hella stacks. Corrosive DoT, lots of hits, etc. Plus, you can get it from Uranus in the Lilith DLC, who is much easier than Saturn, given actual crit spots and enemies in the arena. Another thing about the E-Tech launchers it's that the chest in the Writhing Deep always spawns either a purple or E-Tech launcher.
@@yinyangmemory While you may be lucky to get a norfleet out of the spin, you can also buy it straight from the BL2 store for 4,000 points. You can also buy a few other BL2 and TPS legendaries, all for 4,000 each
Norfleet is not perfect without the sham, only issue with it is ammo 11 shots with out an asorbtion to get ammo back, but it is the strongest rocket launcher regardless.
@@officialneanut yes, but taking in account the facts that the topneaa: 1.)has a higher fire rate 2.) Has a higher mag size 3.) Shoots one ammo per shot 4.) Has a chance not to consume ammo 5.) Has a faster reload speed All these overall means the topneaa has a higher D.P.S. overall. You could argue that it wastes ammo. But that could just be negated by the sham. And while the Norfleet, I agree, is better for 2nd winds. It also has a higher chance of downing you a 2nd time. Therefore, the Norfleet is outclassed by the topneaa.
Puma i hope you see this also everyone like so puma could see,puma can u do and updated video for best gear and weapons for krieg ive recently started playing krieg the vid you made is kinda old and i want a video with really good gear
@@Champoforyx yh i know that but almost all the weapons and gear he mentioned in that video was hellborne builds and im not a fan of those builds i want explosive meele
How is the Tunguska rarer? I got so many Pearls from farming midgets and Uranus, the Tunguska is a generation 1 Pearl, while the Norfleet only drops from Vermi and Hyperious. Though I guess you can buy one from the VIP insiders.
The Nukem is basically the Redemption and the Leviathan combined (which were both made by Torgue in BL1). When it comes to non-red-text Torgue launchers, I think they're at their best with Maliwan barrels (like the Ahab and the Creamer) for faster and more accurate rockets. A Torgue launcher with all Maliwan parts results in a very fine product. 12:51 In BL1, I prefer the Mongol over the Redemption. It's just more interesting.
also if you pair the creamer in the right hand of sal and the pimpernel in the left you can destroy literally anything in the game while healing at the same time.
Good video Puma! I'd like to point out that you can join the Borderlands VIP program (for free!) get free points and you can get a Norfleet and other weapons that way as well. I got a level 80 fire one myself!!! I can't do Vermi and have trouble with Hyperious so it was great for me!
Been watching your vids for years bro just subscribe not often I do. Keep it up and hope things get better for you bro take your time we will all still be here when you start up again.
like for Mongol. the absolute only rocket launcher I use in 2, and in TPS, and in 3. just freaking drown your enemies in rockets, simple as that. also its ability to melt everything with maelstrom stacks is just wonderful.
This, the Badaboom is easily one of the best rocket launchers in the game, not necessarily due to its damage output, but because it makes grenade-jumps super easy with a low level Badaboom, or 2 if you're Salvador. You can go SOOOOOOO far, and SOOOOOOO high.
when doing these lists you can actually make it so items like norfleet that everyone knows will be number1 will simply be categorized as "god level" and is not fair to compare it to others That way your number ones can have some variety you can get topneas from the Haderax hidden rocket launcher chestnow.
Just a little tip, if you want a Norfleet or other weapons you can now go to the Borderlands.com website and sign up to be a free member. Watch a few videos, view a few pages and you can easily earn the 4000 pts for a Norfleet at any lvl, yeah even lvl 1, lol.
So lemme ask something. Do you think gearbox was testing the idea of the lingering debuffs like the poison from the lilith dlc to test out the new terror mechanic??
I was playing with randoms once and a Zer0 dropped it, it wasn't even a dupe, he dropped then we kept playing. He also dropped a legendary class mod for my Maya, I have a feeling he liked the way I supported him (I was healing him to full HP by using RPGs all the time while he was playing melee Zer0), I don't think a lot of Mayas focus on healing too much, just using Res once someone dies.
The duuurp rocket launcher is way better than the ahab for pimpernel pairing for me, the slow projectile speed means more orbs hit the enemies. Just make sure you don't get one with the fidle dee prefix, and they can easily be found in torgue machines which is nice and much more sustainable than the ahab
WARNING! watching cool videos on rocket launchers before consuming at least one pot of coffee can seriously damage your shorts! Dude fyi, for Xmas can I have a Norfleet? Please! I've been wanting one since I've started playing the game, that was years ago and King Mong is being a tight wad and won't drop one. It's all I've ever wanted apart from Emma Watson and Daisy Ridley making my coffee and pancakes in a morning.
I got the PBFG from a random red chest at the Badass Crater, since its not on the list, is it good? I thought it was a poor's man Norfleeth, its working wonders for me
If you have a borderlands vip account and 4,000 points you can get the Norfleet in the reward section without fighting any boss. I don’t know how long it will be there though. I’m guessing when season 2 starts in July it will be changed for a new set of legendary weapons. I’m trying to get back to lvl 80 to get one. I’ll worry about farming an OP level on when I get there.
Leo oh kk cool. I wasn’t sure if they keep em off and changed them or what. I never got weapon rewards off borderlands vip until this past May. I’ve been working to get the 8 weapons to get the borderlands 3 weapon.
When he said the mongol was #1 I was going to call him out on his shit bc everybody knows the norfleet is the most powerful weapon in borderlands 2, the blast radius is so God damm large it's insane
I kind of with that there were better artillery type launchers. I got a couple of etech bandit launchers that when fired straight in the air it just made it rain orbs but unfortunately the blast radius and damage stunk. feel like it would be a fun way to clear out some areas as well as a decent strat for boss's
Everyone knew that the Norfleet is bound to be number 1
Anyone whose played borderlands 2 and those who just watch videos on this channel know very well that number 1 was bound to be norfleet without watching this video through
The second I saw the title of the video I knew what #1 would be.
Very predictable number 1 at this point
Your wrong the number one is the bunny
Yeah
"The Creamer *no dlc needed*" "It's locked behind the creature slaughter dome DLC"
Waaaaiiiit just a second
I think u can join someone's lobby to get that one for free

My fave launchers esp farming big boys is hive,baddaboom, n etech

Thank you. It's WAY over rated
I use it without a Sham, and it's still amazing, there are so many ammo vending machines scattered every where so ammo isn't a big problem IMO.

Personally, the bunny can be pretty fun if your outside. And here's a tip: the hive shreds through bunker
I swear, everytime Viny tells me to smash that like button, I do it.
Drunken Hive with Gaige and Kreig is a favourite playstyle.
#6 forgot to mention that Tediore rocket launcher doesn't consume ammo in the "magazine" when reloading. Yeah, pretty OP on Javelineer Krieg
Puma i hope you see this also everyone like so puma could see,puma can u do and updated video for best gear and weapons for krieg ive recently started playing krieg the vid you made is kinda old and i want a video with really good gear

What about Southfleet?
@@ivxy5512 Easthfleet, comes in cryo only
Y’all are sleeping on the westhfleet smh
Its all about the Midfleet.
northeastfleet?
REEEE YOU INCLUDED THE LAUNCHER THAT SHALL NOT BE MENTIONED! REEEEEEEEEE!
Where is the tunguska
Its rarer than the norfleet
And its better than the norfleet
Change my mind
( *only ogs will get this joke* )
How is the Tunguska rarer? I got so many Pearls from farming midgets and Uranus, the Tunguska is a generation 1 Pearl, while the Norfleet only drops from Vermi and Hyperious.
Though I guess you can buy one from the VIP insiders.
You can often find Topneaas on the loot train...
Please more please!!! Top 10s are essential with the new dlc
Smashing like for the bunny
Fun Fact: As a Tediore Representative...
The Bunny becomes oddly powerful with a Tediore Allegiance Relic...and with Axton. Even at OP10.
The Nukem is basically the Redemption and the Leviathan combined (which were both made by Torgue in BL1). When it comes to non-red-text Torgue launchers, I think they're at their best with Maliwan barrels (like the Ahab and the Creamer) for faster and more accurate rockets.

The chest from the top of the haderax arena is good for most etech and legendary launchers. Including the topneaa, launcher, prasma cannon etc.
Great vid 👌
He topnia is great on Salvador due to his inconceveable skill wich increases his chances of not consuming ammo
like for Mongol. the absolute only rocket launcher I use in 2, and in TPS, and in 3. just freaking drown your enemies in rockets, simple as that. also its ability to melt everything with maelstrom stacks is just wonderful.
I was going to comment "Dislike for no Mongol" guess it's only fair i SMASH LIKE
The Badaboom is my favorite, I remember way back when the game first came out, I got the Badaboom the first time I fought King Mong
This, the Badaboom is easily one of the best rocket launchers in the game, not necessarily due to its damage output, but because it makes grenade-jumps super easy with a low level Badaboom, or 2 if you're Salvador. You can go SOOOOOOO far, and SOOOOOOO high.
I prefer topneaas over norfleet actually because it isn't nearly as likely to kill you.
Also ammo consumption.
Good to see that everything is cleared up since your last message and we are seeing a new video
I only wish that I didn't have so much trouble trying to kill hyperius for a norfleet
Hahahahahah the durp i cant 😂😂
World burn is awesome. Especially if you use the grog drunk effect.

Mongol - Am i a joke to you?
What’s up with most rainbow weapons being fire element?
Probably cause the raid boss in that dlc is weak to it

Oh yeah lv 80 huh??? WELL IM ON 72 AND I DESTROY YOUR ASS
@@Topsidemold19 shut up, Patrick!
Topneaa is best in my opinion just cause it had less reloads than the norfleet plus it's way easier to get.
Also it’s way more ammo efficient
I agree man. A lot of people call it the poor man's norfleet. Personally, I prefer it over the norfleet most times

Pre video guess (I shall edit my comment after finishing the video) number one. The norfleet.
Edit: yep
Oh geez, i wonder what will be #1
Hey puma where would they best place to be to farm for a topneya (I butchered that) without any dlc
I have a question... The hive can optain with the creation of a salvador level 30?
The mongol is quite useful when u against some of the big raid boss
I just jump to see norfleet on number 1
Cant you use gibbed to make the hive other elements?
Sanity check.. so i think not
Probably.
What if I have no opinion on The bunny?
Dislike
You said you're going through some personal stuff... You doing okay?
This is probably pre recorded
Norfleet this, norfleet that. Hope they nerf it into oblivion.
I'm calling it the northfleet is gonna be #1
