What's Going On Guys? This is VinylicPuma and I finally have the Top 8 Worst Sniper Rifles in Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel! Video for you guys! I think we can all agree that all 8(possibly even more) are fairly bad. :)
As always, if you liked this video leave a like and let me know what you think.
4:47 My god he predicted Battlefield 1
+Indolin 77 I wish. I just heard some rumor on a gaming site I think. It's pretty cool they did officially decide to go with WW1 though. It'll be fun to walk around in a suit of knights armor with a gatling gun :)
+VinylicPumaGaming I fucking love your videos...................FUCK BOLT ACTIONS THEIR A BOAT LOAD OF AAAAASSSS 😊
Its not a knight armor. Plz dont mind if i m writing this, i dont mean that bad. Its called lobster armor and it was used by my nation, germany, in WW1. Heavy machine gunners and infantry used it in trenches as a shield from bullets and shrapnell. I dont even have to say that this was more dangerous than helpfull. The allies used at tbe end of WW1 and nearly similar armor, which was actually even worse. But german soldiers in that armor never went on no mans land or in a open battlefield with that armor tho.
+VinylicPumaGaming what is so bad about the cobra
+Brendan Feagans the drop rate
youtuber: **in Fight For Your Life mode**
youtuber: **can't kill enemy with the previewed weapon**
youtuber: *n o r f l e e t*
it's almost like bolt action rifles are designed for those who stay far away from combat, and it helps the gun jam less than automatic weapons
+Judson Joist ofc as long as youre playing on lvl 12
Who could this be? or stick to snipers that are meant for closer ranges like the patri- oh wait he hates it
I don’t care if it’s bolt action or not I’m using it like a Mosin and you’re not stopping me.
I wish there was a WW2 Trench-styled map in this game, ngl.
"Bolt actions suck"
My reaction: get gud scrub
I guess im the only one who loves bolt actions anymore.
Yes you are
I do too!!!
i dont get it what do bolt aactions do?
bolt actions are realistic and tactical feeling, i like them cuz of that, but i definitely understand people not liking them
NOPe, i love em too, i prefer em over non bolt action sniper rifle
Boatload of aaaaaiiiiiiiyyyyyyysssssss
*WEAPON SWAY*
AaAaAaAaAaAaHhHhHhHh!!!!
Man i miss the old puma that curses like a drunken sailor...
Early in the morning...
Jakobs Blue Sniper is not bad but elpahant gun is crap ...
sure they are powerful when they hit but I would rather find that out after the first shot not the sixth
The Buffalo is amazing, I killed the warrior with it at level 30
Gio Barcarolo I agree with you buffalo isn't bad sniper rifle
brendan feagans just aim decently with the iron sights, I went throught Hero's Pass multiple times with the buffalo as my main sniper and I died less them 4 times, keep in mind I was underleveld by 2 levels, and most enemies on my runs where or SGT loaders or RPG loaders, with the ocasional constructor and a shiton of hyperion personel, I was 1 shoting headshoting the hyperion personel and I was slaughtering loaders, left right and center, and I'm talking about the buffalo, havent had many experiences with other blue jakobs snipers
Gr4mas the buffalo is amazing, I love it, loaders shall fear me!
2:46
"Fucking bolt-actions!
*_AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"_*
-What Russian gun manufacturers said while making the SVD.
you forgot all e tech snipers
+Steve Turner Doh! That's right. Maybe I'll make a follow up.
+VinylicPumaGaming do borderlands 1 content lots of mods that acuttly drop in game properly on ps3 and vinlla game has more gear
Minus the longbow, right?
MemeGOD
Really all E-Tech weapons in general. The only decent ones I can think of are Hyperion and Maliwan Plasma Casters.
But the e-tech snipers improved from the latest community patch.
"I fucking hate bolt actions" but but but the gewer and the mosin, and the Springfield, oh and the Lee enfeild. all those beautiful rifles 😥
He means in the game. Irl bolt actions have a few advantages over automatic rifles.
It's almost as if he doesn't know that the mechromancer exists. The Storm is perfect for her.
Are you kidding with me?
Alex 5432 oh god, I forgot I made this comment... yeah. I used to think Anarchy sucks too. A lot has changed since I made this comment. Yeah, Storm sucks horribly.
The Volcano kicked ass in Borderlands and it came back to kick more ass in Borderlands 2
Less ass*
The Borderlands 2 Volcano is nowhere near as good as it was in Borderlands. It's basically a weaker version of a purple fire element Snider.
True.
EXReimu the bl2 volcano was underwhelming. the bl1 volcano, which i just found in a random chest, is beast
EXReimu In BL1 it was practically a rocket launcher. Maybe it was nerfed, but the one I got playing BL2 Handsome Collection seems to have very little splash damage.
Yeah... no lmao
the buffalo isn't that hard to aim and its cool to use
king freestyle I love the Buffalo and the Elephant gun. I just like Jacobs guns in generals. But I *hate* Hyperion*.
a common gamer i'm suprised the buffalo was picked and the longbow wasn't
I love using the buffalo. It feels way more satisfactory to get a critical while it isn't even that much harder.
a common gamer I hate any sniper rifle without a scope. It ruins the feel of "sniping" to me
But the iron sights WHAT ABOUT THE FUCKING IRON SIGHTS FROM A JAKOBS BARREL!?!!?!!
I've found two pearls in my time. the storm, and the bearcat. I want to die.
Sigh.
Bolt guns are easier to make, more reliable, easier to use, can take higher pressure loads compared to autoloaders, and are substantially more accurate than autoloaders if set up correctly.
Most games give bolt guns an extreme boost in accuracy and damage to compensate for their low rate of fire. Guess Borderlands overlooked this idea.
Anyway, don't let a video game influence your opinion of real life firearms.
4:38 how i react to scopeless sniper rifles
I like the storm, I know it's bad but I can't help but keep one in my bank.
Great video.
same
Just going to throw in my two cents about Hyperion sniper rifles:
The only reason you seem to have trouble with weapon sway on them is that you're expecting them to work the exact same way as other Hyperion guns, which gain accuracy as you FIRE them, but their sniper rifles work a bit differently: their sway decreases as you AIM them, which means that, with a little bit of patience, you can almost guarantee that your first shot will go EXACTLY where you point it (whether you actually hit the target or not being entirely dependent on your own aim), which makes Hyperion sniper rifles arguably the best ones for engaging enemies at super long range when they can't detect you (and are my personal favorite sniper rifles). Granted, after you've gotten that first shot off and you're detected, you're better off switching over to something else in most cases. Special mention goes to the Invader though, as while I'll agree it tends to suck against most regular enemies due to how much ammo you'll usually waste (a problem it shares with Dahl sniper rifles) and the difficulty of getting all of its shots to land on target (a problem shared with Dahl sniper rifles and the Skullmasher), it's actually pretty powerful against large, slower enemies (bosses especially) with easy to hit critical hit spots (this proved vital the first time I managed to beat Eclipse and EOS on UVH in the Pre-Sequel as I had the luck to get a corrosive variant of the gun).
Also, maybe it's just me but I kind-of like certain bolt-actions (I'm mostly talking about unique ones) with certain builds, particularly if you're using the Razorback or Plunkett on Nisha in the Pre-Sequel as her action skill effectively aims the gun for you, negating the risk of missing your shot and being vulnerable for the couple of seconds it takes to cycle the bolt.
I have never heard a man describe the reload techniques of a sniper rifle with such anger
Hyperion barrel on Jakobs sniper... why?
Hes a dumbass
lesslighter he wasnt using a diaub 2:37
Your point ? He said why did he use a hyperion one out of all the barrels ?
@@lesslighter Having a Hyperion barrel doesn't give the gun it's attached to the reverse-recoil gimmick. Only Hyperion guns have that. The Hyperion barrel just nerfs Jakobs rifles damage output, which since that's the whole point of Jakobs rifles means that one with the Hyperion barrel are trash.
To pull of those sick nasty trick shots...
With reduced damage...
This is your best video. You didn’t hold back once. I admire your brutal honesty!
I love these “worst” Borderlands 2 videos. I can only assume that many of the weapon designers simply do not play the game. I get it that there are so many factors to consider between characters, builds, normal/tvh/uvh modes, and more......but it sucks when you get what should be an amazing weapon and its just a steaming pile of fuck.
Am I the only one who actually likes the storm and bolt action sniper rifles?
The Godfinger is a real piece of shit in my opinion. It has half the damage of a Jakob's Muckamuck and its special effect is too impractical to use.
It has less damage than White Jakobs snipers 😂
superarmandbros probably be great if UVHM2 wasn't so hard...thank God in TPS they brought the difficulty down to a 1.5 difficulty and we don't have to rely off of a stupid element that is necessary in every fight.
If Gearbox did with bolt-actions, as Blizzard did with D3...Take the damage, then double it!!! I wouldn't mind slower fire rate, IF it has one-two shot potential instead of 6-7 shot. Derch said it really good in one of his wish-list vids. I really do like the Hammerlock weapons. Not to use them, but i love the idea and the skins on them. One shot, one kill. Then scaling got fuc*ed up, and they became crap....
Cobra is a bad copy of omni cannon. Omni cannon is better atleast when you miss you still hit enemy if it hits the floor near an enemy it dies
Well sort of. The Omni Cannon is an Improvement to the Cobra
If the cobra were a loyal copy of BL1 cobra... man, will be the best sniper rifle ever...
two things. 1. I actually like the buffalo. Once you learn how to use it, it's actually not all that bad. 2. It kinda sucks that the Cobra isn't as good as it was in the first Borderlands. It's also kinda funny that the Cobra was an orange rarity sniper back in Borderlands 1, but came back in Borderlands 2 as a blue rarity weapon and was still harder to get.
Fun fact about Hyperion Snipers, the reverse recoil is for how long you scope in...
Dude, I've got a potty mouth too but your videos are so much better when you keep it clean and calm
As far as I know, they fixed the drop rates for the Cobra so it isn't that hard to find now.
they didn't fix it much
this guy hates all bolt actions.what he doesn't realize is that some of out greatest hero's have used boltactions,and made the longest shots in the world. I would still put my life on a bolt action because they don't jam
I know this is 10 months late but he's talking about borderlands not real life...
Nikko Schwantes oh right. still they are worse irl than a regular gun
Furious Archer Gaming Why? I admit I dont know everything about guns but I'm pretty sure a semi auto is a bolt action that fires a bit faster
Furious Archer Gaming Ok thanks. Didn't know that.
Furious Archer Gaming What one? Cant seem to find it
Bolt action sniper rifles are awesome! In most games, if the sniper rifle is bolt action, it means it is SUPER powerful, but have a low rate of fire. I just love the idea of having a fucking CANNON that can kill anyone in 1 shot. Borderlands bolt action snipers suck balls though.
Yea i like bolt actions more too. It feels more powerful and accurate than a bullet spraying sniper which is basically a assault rifle with a longer barrel, more accurate, sniper scope and a shorter mag. Bolt actions for the win!
actually, i think man of low moral fiber did a video about how the patriot may not suck and well...he's kinda boss when it comes to borderlands 2
Geo Belmont yeah..he did. he also specializes in sniping in bl2, milking things like critical ascension to its fullest potential.
The Buffalo powered me through 10 levels.
And everyone in WWII use Bolt-Actions as Infantry Rifles.
Which is saying that “I like Semi-Auto because I have more shots because I have the aim of a Storm Trooper”
“Hyperion Weapons are shit”
*puts 3 of them in the Top 10 Best Sniper Rifles”
I loved the storm. Mainly because of the fact that I used an OP 8 one on normal mode. That, and I like its looks.
So you love the Storm because you can easily wreck any enemy in normal but can't man up to play on ultimate vault hunter mode to realize the storm is a bad weapon?
@@BlackEmberzzmore like UVH is extremely unbalanced...
@@John-Stark more like the storm is bad
@@BlackEmberzzmore like uvhm forces you to use the slag mechanic while the first two playthroughs don’t allow you to adapt
Hey, i use the Cobra (legitimately dropped (totaly randomly, i wasnt even farming it)), and am rocking with it ! It's actualy a good weapon !
"so after the amount of butt trauma i had to go through last time" is the best way to start a video
You know whats worse? I saw Hammerlock use his Elephant Gun, high firerate and explosive but when you use, fucking sell it.
On a recent UVHM play through I got a couple of LLM and both dropped pearls. I was excited until I realized that both were Storms. Thanks Gearbox.
Love that scream Puma :D i laughed so hard xD
The level of this man's hatred of the Patriot is something I will never understand.
Etech Snipers?
Brady Pahl heh, no shit. lol
I can't tell if you're saying e tech snipers are worst or good,but one of my e tach snipers have very high raw damage so I don't even need to crit to kill enemies
@@zefyrfrost4092 your probably playing on normal and true vaulter mode, in Ultimate and in the op levels there useless
8:10 You’re welcome
You can literally read my mind.
it's a shame what they did to the elephant gun, it was a beast in part 1
no?
+Handsome Jack yes it was
+ProtoBoo it was good or decent
Nuwbers Crazy in my opinion it sucked ass ;P
With the whole cobra thing, if a burner would drop a PURPLE RARITY sniper without a element there is a 0.45% chance to drop. That's about 0.0000000045% chance every kill
So wait, are you saying that the Buffalo is a bad gun?
The whole point of the Buffalo isn't to use it for long range, also, a bad gun? A level 42 Buffalo oneshots level 47 Bandits.
Tucker Mills my lvl op8 harold 1 shot lvl72 also 1 shot op8 slaged plus crit.
If you're good with it than good for you but there are better choices
Buffalo is a bad gun. What will you do about this?
yohan Li LMAO
I fuking love bolt actions
I love them IRL. In video games? not so much. Specially Borderlands.
Me too.
I guess this isn't public knowledge, which surprises me, but you don't need to fire a shot from Hyperion sniper rifles to reduce their sway. The weapon sway goes away the longer you stay scoped in, no wasted bullet needed! If you're comfortable staying back and hardscoping a bit longer than usual for borderlands, they actually aren't completely awful.
Can't wait for best shotguns video. Also, is it confirmed that battlefield 5 will have a World War I theme
In real life bolt actions can actually be really good, the round doesn’t expel without you choosing when to expel it. Depending on what your doing that could be important
Keep it up man love you're borderlands content and hope you don't run out of ideas. Here are some suggestions if you do
1. Strongest characters
2.weakest characters
3. Most annoying bosses
4. Best moments in the game as in action wise
Also you could do best dlc weapons
Worst dlc weapons
Best mods
Funniest mods
Best weapon concepts
At least with the buffalo you can 360* NO SCOOOOPE
the elephant gun was really good in borderlands 1 on low levels because you could melee spam (melee and reset as it wasnt fired)
I like how gearbox took the time to give the elephant gun "self aware" red text but spared not a second to improve its fire rate
I would argue that they weren't being "self-aware" there, but referencing that some people don't like it and the one from the first game. A lot of us like those rifles, and there's actually nothing wrong with them. It's personal preference.
Hey Puma, I agree with most of ur points on the snipers but, the patriot with the right skill build with zero is pretty freaking good.
"I am going to tell you a joke."
"JOOOOKKEEEE"
"That was a joke I told you a minute ago. Sorry about that."
Your Counts are amazing!!!
I love to watch it everytime :)
+Mine Drop Great to hear you are enjoying them. I should have another one up in a couple of days :)
+VinylicPumaGaming what is so bad about the invader
+VinylicPumaGaming other than the volgarrity you are hilarious great videos
😂😂😂😂😂 love this so much .
You need more of this type of video👍
Imma guess elpahant gun before watching
+Crippledfined gaming It's on there. It's not #1 though.
+VinylicPumaGaming good thought it would be in this countdown
+VinylicPumaGaming the storm is amazing for gaige the mechromancer
+a fan of popularmmos the fan Sure but A sniper should have dps not Aoe Dps
+a fan of popularmmos the fan It is not
If the plunket was in Borderlands 2 it actually would be a goddamn awsome weapon on Zer0. I mean, the fact that crits don´t remove ammo from the magazin means that, if you are skilled enough to hit multible headshots in a row, you will get a streak of critical hits in a row that all have the one shot one kill bonus. That would be rightaway amazing, but sadly there´s no Zer0 in the Pre-Sequel...
Best worst guns video you made liked and favoured
After you read the buffalo desc, Maya asked, "Is that it?". Perfect timing
This is probably one of the funniest videos ive seen on youtube. Thanks vpg!
Have you done different class builds for BL2 and BLTPS?
+TaKen HaDes I have more build videos for TPS. I only made one for Borderlands 2 and that was my OP8 Axton video.
Then you should make build videos, then using that build to take down a raid boss of your choice.
I love the Storm, I have a second Axton with a shock build its fun.
On the bright side, in borderlands 3 they made the storm somewhat useful after some patches
sharing this because I'm a minute in and already can tell this will be good.
also I like bolt action rifles. I mean, not in games, but irl they're amazing.
Well bolt action snipers aren't bad in all games. In battlefield 3 sniping can be pretty fun. It requires you to be patient aggressive and precise. Getting a marksman achievement for a long distance headshot is very rewarding
I'd argue that using bolt action snipers prove that you have more skill than those who use only auto/ semi auto snipers. I only use bolt actions because I have much better aim than most people I compete against
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: I would have no problem whatsoever with the Storm would they just have copy/pasted the Orion’s special effect and actually given it decent damage.
"Warning: vulgarity awaits"
"SO AFTER THE AMOUNT OF BUTT TRAUMA I HAD TO GO THROUGH LAST TIME!"
My favorite snipers...bolt action. Least favorite...Vladof barrels. I really enjoy the Elephant Gun. Not trolling, just really enjoy. Maybe I should do some videos like this and become the anti-VinylicPuma. Just joking there, but our likes VS dislikes are reversed. lol, I find that to be weird.
You actually can get the Storm in TVHM too :D At the Lootsplosion machines if you get 3 Vault symbols or roll a twenty, the machines give you a random legendary or pearlescent. That's how I obtained a level 50 Storm
I'm liking this video because it's too funny and that laugh is perfect to scare the crap out of people.
Besides the Invader, Hyperion snipers are almost as slow-firing as bolt-action Jakobs snipers. In BL1, the invader was the weakest per-shot sniper in the game. It was fast-firing in aiming mode in a 5 round burst. I prefer the Dahl legendary sniper, which the rarity color was screwed up on, over the invader in BL1. If the Lyudmila/WD/Lyuda was in BL1, it would be preferable to both guns. It's a shame Vladof had pump-action snipers instead of semi-auto snipers, which made them slower than Dahl/Hyperion/Torgue snipers, ruining Vladof's reputation of being the fastest firing guns although they are the fastest pump-action snipers.
I like bolt actions because they teach you to actually aim, not to just fire in the vague direction of the enemy critical location like with some sniper rifles (Vladof comes to mind). Also, the buffalo is awesome as a mid-range weapon.
>How am I supposed to kill things with no scope
SHOOT GOODER MY DUDE
The elephant and buffalo gun's are actually very good if you use them as intended which is a close range sniper rifle.
Put the Plunkett on Money Shot Claptrap. Final shot gets a bunch of bonus damage, and never reloads. Infinite money shot.
ikr i was surprise to see it in the list
The red text on buffalo is actually a word play with word "buffalo" itself. (Its both a verb, a noun an adjective, etc. whatever, google it if you don't know)
The Buffalo Sniper... NO SCOPE!!!?? F*** BOLT ACTIONS!!!
Also the elephant gun is a reference to the elephant man, who was hated because of deformities
The bison red text is that way because it is actually a valid sentence, like buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo
God bless Gearbox from not creating bolt actions in glitch rarity.
Glad to see no shame given to the longbow, beat borderlands 2 with one
2:51-2:52 Calm down, Waluigi.
I like it when he says a bull load of
Ass
1:46
I didn't notice until watching this video but Congrats on getting 10000 Subscribers. 😀
+James Platt I'm looking forward to eventually getting 100k! :)
Personally, I enjoy bolt action sniper rifles aesthetically. Also the Jakobs snipers that are bolt action, in their defense, by the time the bolt action animation has finished the sniper rifle recoil has finished allowing you to shoot more accurately faster instead of shooting several shots with them to miss quite a few due to the high recoil. But at the same time I respect your right to dislike them.
I love your vids :) keep up the good work. I also have a suggestion, can you do a guide for newer players on how to get good weapons and some other tricks you might think to be usefull?
Watching these videos makes me want to go and get the worst weapon and gear just for fun lol, anyways nice vid keep up the good work 👍🏻😎. Do people actually read these? 😂😅
Love this video out of all of your videos so far
Is "The Storm" useful as Gaige? I mean, what if you get enough anarchy stacks and invest points in the "Little Big Trouble" tree ?
I was farming for the cobra and as soon as it was said in the video, it was also dropped in my game.... so thank you
The cobra has a 0.88 chance to drop every time one of pete's burners decides to drop a purple sniper rifle outside of the horde of horrors and the bar room brawl. Good luck getting one. ( :
the cobra in borderlands 1 actually kicked so much ass
i love these kinds of vids!
idk if or when the storm was buffed but it feels good to me I'm using a level 80 it helped me clear OP 2 raid
Best worst guns video yet man
