If you want a snipe that consistently does great damage. Go find the Stoker "Sawmill" Sniper. It fires three bolts in a tight pattern and has a great fire rate. Only downside, it chews up 3 ammo per shot. But up your gun and crit damage in chaos chamber, and it tears through the enemies no problem. (Even chaos 20.) And I don't even have a chaotic or volatile version. Dunno the dedicated drop, might be a chaos chamber thing. (Got it from a loot bunny.) Gear set: Got gun damage up on Spell and Skill use, gun damage up on full health shield, wildfire class, smart armor.
He already is. Give him a plasma coil and you never need to pull the trigger yourself ever again. Clone also gains damage from your splash buffs, so use shoulder cannon clone build with an ASA frozen heart and an ASE splash anoint plasma coil
The best use for this thing is to get the damage without shooting it. Get a Spellshot class mod that gives 3 points to Double Knot, raising it to 6/3, and you'll do 42% of the Greatbow's insane damage every time you crit with a spell. Add a high crit spell that hits many times, something like Threads of Fate, Twister, or any of the meteor calamity spells, and the greatbow becomes something you swap to and melt bosses with a couple spells.
First time I picked up this sniper I was like “WOAH, A HIGH DAMAGE SNIPER WITH OVER 3K?” Then i shot it, checked my inventory and it was 356 damage and I sat there completely dumbfounded
I got one of these at level 34 and it was surprisingly still usable against some max level 40 bosses with the right element of course, and I hope snipers and launchers get the same bl3 buff treatment soon
In compare to other legendary snipers even the "Used" is simply better, because it benefits from the increased damage per Bolt . Only closest gun to this masher crossbow, but they aren't easy to find. But it can't get enchanted for some reason.
money rlly not hard to farm if u running high level chaos chambers or anything else high chaos level, if im not TRYING for cash i can get a few hundred thousand to about half a mill in half hour or less
Tbh. even after shooting it, its still a pretty good sniper, compared to most other snipers. But I still wish that it could be enchanted. Mainly cause it would be a bit of a redemption arc for Hyperion snipers. Cause apart from the Tankmans and the Crossbow, they werent great.
I got one and read the description, after firing the one amazing shot I was happy to see it change to used and go from 28$ to 8k. Such a funny design gave me a good laugh.
In case you didn't notice, this weapon cannot be enchanted. It simply does not show up in the reroller. Really hoping it's just bugged, cause I really like this thing and would love the extra damage.
@@shaun10767 Another commenter said they got a volatile version and put an enchantment on it before firing it, not knowing it breaks. Lost the enchantment and it dropped to a chaotic. Can’t put a new enchantment now either. Oof.
Its a shame this thing breaks after its first shot but it makes sense because that damage is insane. Glad its still solid with the reduced damage even if it is only a shadow of its rand new version
Itd be cool if there was a ring or pendant which reduces power on all weapons with the only benefit being it means this specific legendary does not break
Welp... did not expect that but in hindsight after seeing those stats it makes so much sense. Doesn't look like the bolts get those stuck in target bonuses unless that's unlisted
Idk if it's a world drop, chaos chamber drop, special enemy drop or all of the above but there's a really good Torgue shotgun called Hawkin's Wrath and it's red text is a reference to Disturbed's Down with the Sickness I got mine from the Chaos Chamber from the barf bunnies
It all depends if they ever add a class which inherits gun stats into the build. (Think something like X% gun damage converted to melee damage.) In that case this'd be a great weapon.
Once I found the volatile version of this gun, I stored it in my bank. $40k price isn't really that much. It can be made with the goblin pick axe within 5 seconds.
No farm needed just some lag and my bank haha….got several of these on standby haha….I done a chaos run with a full inv of unfired ones so I could one shot every mob haha
Maaan, this was a world drop it got in 2nd dlc. I was excited af when I saw it was 5157×7 dmg so i tried it out and eight after the dmg dropped to 434×7 and it last its chaotic status which was weird af.
I think the real "Strongest Sniper", or at least the one I found, is the "Sawmill" Stoker Sniper. Three bolts per shot (Also three ammo per shot.), high rate of fire, and the base damage is higher than the broken antique crossbow. (Around 600-700 x3) And I didn't even find a chaotic or volatile version! (So that might be up to 1000+ x3!) Only downside might be it chews through your ammo faster than you can say "Wait, we're done already?". Found it off the snipe loot bunny in the chaos chamber. Might be a chaos chamber only gun.
So… before I knew what this gun was, I got a volatile version. I put the enchantment on it I wanted, and thought I was good to go. I fired it and it dropped to chaotic and lost the enchantment. I can’t put a new enchantment on it. Gearbox is the ultimate troll. Feelsbad
When I first started looking as skills, Double Knot had me pining for something like this and a large proj # barrage spell. However, how Double Knot actually works makes that idea complete and utter crap. Instead of adding 21% of the weapon's card damage as gun damage to the spell, it 21% of the spell's damage as the gun you're holding's element as bonus gun damage, which can't crit. The sadness.
Why do they gotta add joke legendaries as actual drops in the game, it would be great if it was just part of a quest then you got a good one but come on, a dedicated legendary?? And it's not even like it's worth farming for money because purple armor is worth 20k
Oh cool, two legendaries at once! The first one looks OP AF! The second sucks. It just sucks in comparison. What ever did we do to earn a two legendary vid?
That's the Live wire. It drops from the Chaos chambers. His build looks like a Spell shot/stabomancer combo where he focuses on gun damage and using the buffmiester exploit.
Hey so question, I got a legendary sniper earlier to day, and above the name it said CHAOTIC. What does that mean ? I haven’t noticed anyone else with those
When you play in chaos mode, you have a chance for items to roll as chaotic versions, which have about 1.2x the stats of whatever gear of that level you would otherwise get. Higher chaos level= higher chance of chaotic gear obviously (approx 3.8% of the time at chaos level one, about 30% at level 20.) Also, at chaos level 20, your items can instead roll as volatile, which have about 1.4x the stats of max level gear.
This gun definitely needs to be changed a little bit. Maybe make it have a small chance to break but reduce the damage for both normal and broken version It's just an idea honestly but I would like of the weapon was actually usable
such wasted potential.. i wish we could spend like 1000$ and fix the gun.. idk.. SOMETHING.. or after like 1000 shots then it breaks or something.. 1 shot really stinks
One shot, one kill (The kill being the sniper itself)
What a pity 😕
Had it for a few days now
I really like this gun
Jakobs is jealous.

the sniper says chaotic after it became used, not sure what's up with that.
I can see why they never put something like this in borderlands 3, zane's clone would've become a small deity with that in its hands
He already is. Give him a plasma coil and you never need to pull the trigger yourself ever again. Clone also gains damage from your splash buffs, so use shoulder cannon clone build with an ASA frozen heart and an ASE splash anoint plasma coil

If it took more than one shot, you weren’t using an antique greatbow!
- Marcus, probably
This was one of the first legendaries I found and needless to say I was very disappointed because I thought I found a super rare and overpowered gun
The red text and mechanic of the gun is a reference to unopened antiques being worth more than used ones when you sell them.
reminds of a risk of rain 2 item that one shots any boss in the game once
hoped it was like that
Joltz, I haven't played BL since vanilla BL3, I just love your vids. Keep it up, you're a legend.
I think this will be a good thing for farming money especially since everything in the shop is so expensive 😂
Especially the last few ammo SDUs

i love using this sniper. im still trying to find a dark version in the trials for my dark magic build.
I found one of these, I made the mistake of firing due to that sweet damage stat
Can’t wait to see the speed kills with this gun.

It doesn't
Honestly if someone makes a one hit build with this, I pray for them to have lots of sanity farming the sniper
I already have like 5 of them stashed just in case some funny bussiness is possible in the future.
Just the dusa shield with it and your build is done :p

I got this from I think the chaos chamber. Read the red text, said "mm cool I'll sell it later" only to use it and then never sell it lol
I'm actually having a great time with a used one. Point blank sniper/shotgun, combine with ammo regen.
Hoping you cover the class ring soon
I think the damage shouldn't be tanked that hard but the concept is cool
I can see someone farming an inventory full of these and using it to one shot every boss

You can also get it from the sniper bunny

Ok but can I have that Frying Pan of the Remorseless that dropped? :O
if you world drop one of these on lvl 1 or at anny time keep it until you are lvl 40. if you fire it the used version will become lvl 40
I wonder what items are in the game that depend on the guns base damage in hand if so this unfired could be an interesting interaction.
I think it’d be cool if they give u some way to rebuild it
I shall ask once more, what's the smg ur using in all of these guides? it looks fun
hey joltz do you plan doing a playthrough of tiny tina wonderlands to the channel?
Yeah, its honestly not really a "good to bad" weapon. Moreso its a "OP to great" weapon.
So… before I knew what this gun was, I got a volatile version. I put the enchantment on it I wanted, and thought I was good to go. I fired it and it dropped to chaotic and lost the enchantment. I can’t put a new enchantment on it. Gearbox is the ultimate troll. Feelsbad
Since it has over 600% gun damage, i wonder if it can used as a crit-swap like weapon like the Unforgiven was in BL3.
Don't think gun dmg is applied that late in the dmg formula
Some type of ammo regeneration could make it not break
I just want this game to be out on steam
Are you gonna do playthroughs of this game?

You can get this from chaos chamber
Can we set a bounty on a glitch that can allow it to fire multiple times?
I’m pretty sure once it’s used you can NOT put an enchant on it.
I want to have a way to repair or refurbish either variant.
You’re a god
The reference to Pawn Stars and shows like that was so obvious I couldn't help but laugh. Not the best weapon, but great joke.
Any gun with the name of antique does this if you use it. I think its a play on the antique road show . How they value things never used higher.
if you don't fire it won't it boost Spellshot spells by just holding it
I've had this drop quite a few time in chaos, it's not boss specific, just like the hoblin pick axe.
That's pretty funny.
the first one that ever dropped for me was bugged and spawned as if it where already shot
Oh cool, two legendaries at once!
The first one looks OP AF!
The second sucks. It just sucks in comparison.
What ever did we do to earn a two legendary vid?
Well this would be good for a one shot build......once
Mine is called glittering antique greatbow and is woth 53k or so
I think it would be great if you could pay to fix it. Aka, put it in the reroll machine or something and it gets the first shot damage back lol
It's a collector edition, it's more valuable in the original packaging...
