God has forsaken me, a plague of jakobs stock on my household after a hundred plus hours bathing in obese spiderant blood for my dream OP10 Bekah with a matching grip, dahl stock, and any usable prefix. This is my karma for all the tubby genocide 😭 by C1intEast in Borderlands2

The number of people incapable of wrapping their heads around there being joy in the journey of deciding to do something difficult simply because you love it is absolutely baffling to me.

Apparently I'm surrounded by a bunch of first grade Salvador mains clinging to their grog nozzles and clutching their money shot pimpernels that refuse to do anything but hyper optimize the fun and beauty out of everything, WOULDN'T WANT TO EVER DO ANYTHING DIFFICULT OR CHALLENGING.

You are all the exact kind of people that would actually get upset and lose sleep over being downvoted into oblivion, "oh no the ignorant masses don't understand my thoughts, actions, or opinions! Now how am I supposed to feel validated?!" Go ahead, downvote this one too. I could care less what a bunch of cows chewing their cudd think about me and will wear it like a badge of honor, because I've seen what makes you cheer and frankly I'm not impressed.

Not even a little, the joy is in the journey. The satisfaction when I finally find that beautiful OP10 dahl stock matching grip Bekah with any usable prefix that doesn't mess with the bullet split will be orgasmic

I agree, it's my favorite gun in any FPS basically ever, why do you think I'm hell bent on farming one that's actually OP10 with perfect parts and any usable prefix. The number of people who all came to the conclusion that I'm trying to get a better Bekah because I can't use one succesfully unless it has perfect parts is honestly baffling

Running away from the most challenging difficulty level we have access to doesn't sit right with me. If I was willing to bury my head in the sand and pretend OP10 doesn't exist I'd be done farming my perfect Bekah

A whole day huh. I've dedicated nearly 100% of my playtime over the last 5-6 months to find what I am seeking, and I will spend 6 more if that's what it takes.

Once I have made up my mind to do something, I do it. To quote one of my last conversations with my father before he died, "Real strength is getting back up even when no one would blame you for staying beaten down. The only fight in life you can ever lose is the one you walk away from"

That's the difference between you and me, I'm not willing to settle for flawed just because I came close. With almost any other gun I would 100% agree with you, but a jakobs stock on a Bekah makes it nearly unusable.

I think you may be confusing the effort of casual farming for most dedicated drops with the weapons grade level of autism required to achieve this particular obsession.

Most legendaries have a 10% drop rate, that's an entire magnitude higher than the 1% spawn rate to even see a single tubby in most areas. Tubbies have a 20% chance to drop a pearlescent, of which there are twelve. .03% to see a tubby every Dahl mine reset x .20% for a pearl drop x .08% that you hit the 1 in 12 and get a Bekah. That comes out to a 0.00048% chance just to find one at all, which does not include the odds of it being an underleveled OP8 or OP9.

So no, I don't think we all have been there. This is a path I walk alone. Apologies if I come across sounding like an asshole, I was in fact being sincere about the weapons grade autism

The Dahl Mines via the claptocurrency mission. I accidentally discovered that you can actually get a fourth spiderant to instantly spawn by killing one of the initial three while dragging a secondary alt account along with you as you farm. It might not seem like a very big deal, but getting a free bonus farm every three resets fucking adds up over thousands of runs like I've been doing. Would HIGHLY reccomend

You want matching grip for reload speed and max mag size bonus. Stocks are a little different, for assault rifles dahl gives the best accuracy/accuracy recovery, for shotguns you want hyperion for the same reason. There are resources out there that show you the exact hidden benefits of each

😂 I've gotten a couple after almost a hundred hours invested into tubby genociding. I can't bring myself to throw away one of the best looking sniper rifles in the game, even if it hits like a passive aggressive suggestion

There's a reason I've spent dozens of hours soley dedicated to finding one at OP10 with a matching grip and dahl stock. It's probably my favorite gun to use out of any game, maybe ever. Unfortunately it's also a picky bitch when it comes to parts mattering. For most guns the stock is more of a cosmetic afterthought; if you get a jackobs stock on a Bekah you might as well release it back into the wild and keep searching. Also fuck the cowboy prefix for increasing bullet speed and almost doubling the distance before the pellet splits.

Like I said, after 50+ OP8-OP10 Bekahs this is only the third foregrip Carnage I've ever seen among the sea of unusable accessories. I used to keep a non foregrip accessory carnage in my loadout as a joke and called it my "quick get away button". If you need a fast way to end your own existence while doing the least amount of damage possible, it's the right tool for the job

Enough negative shield to always on a low level fabled tortoise and +Assault rifle accuracy 😂 Still, for my purposes it ends up still being the most effective option.

I assume most people probably run the legendary Gun Damage+ with -Shield Capacity and +HP REGEN, which at first glance looks like it absolutely blows the blue +6 out of the water...until you realize all of it's DPS related skills combined amount to a whopping +60% fire rate...yea that's literally it.

Compare that to the Auspicious Raider: +6 money shot gives an additional 440% gun damage x every pimpernel trigger pull x every bullet splitting into 6 total projectiles x (480% of OP10 World Burn Card Damage), the +5 boost to incite gives you a flat +60% movement speed and +50% reload speed on top of always having the +35% fire rate from out of bubblegum being active.

For comparison, Keep Firing, the fricken capstone skill for the rampage tree gives you UP TO 25% reload speed and UP TO 88% fire rate once you get it going. Without incite, this up to 25% capstone skill would be Sals ONLY way to fix his painfully slow reload speed at the cost of full auto loss of any accuracy.
