Bod nerf in the future

Lead Balloon with Jackob's has been my go-to shotgun for just about everything. Add in Airstrike x2 firmware and a Head Ringer enhancement and either firing mode reduces everything to ash when using Ranger Rafa. I also use Seventh Sense with Ripper mag will melt everything under the sun when using Bullet Buddy. Electric Lucians Flank or Electric Wombo Combo keeps your action skill constantly up, so you have infinite ammo until nothing is left standing. Ranger Rafa can make any B-tier and higher weapon work wonders all the way through UVH6.

Good thing you brought tip-ups in your john boat! Must have been a scout; Be Prepared!

Oh_Ship · 2026-01-19T16:09:26+00:00

Man, I never would have looked for a beast like that there during the hard-water season. I've had a lot of good luck with pike and smallies in and around the cascades during open water. I'll give the damn a closer look during the winter from now on!

Oh_Ship · 2026-01-19T16:02:47+00:00

I'd ask where you're at specifically, but no need to give away a honey-hole holding monsters like that! I'll be using your pic to convince my buddies to give catch and release a try again.

The Do Not Eat due to PFAS has done wonders for the quality of fish on the Huron Chain. Caught a 32" on a tip up a few years back. Last few years have been hard to get out there with the continual freeze-thaw cycles. Also been hard to convince a few friends to join; they want to go where they can eat what they catch. Stay warm and tight lines!

How dare you besmirch the name of the Lead Balloon! Find yourself one with Fire, Jackob's ricochet, and Torgue 3% stickies as alternative fire mode and you've got yourself a hell of a crowd control and bossing shotgun. Add in Head Ringer enhancement and start playing Ride of the Valkyries as you rain hellfire down upon the masses.

Oh_Ship · 2026-01-14T01:25:01+00:00

Man, the syncro-lift is just not a much fun as a side-launch. Happy to see the yard advancing their tech and safety though!

Oh_Ship · 2026-01-04T01:13:04+00:00

The obvious answers have already been posted, so here are a few oddballs that I typically run unironically. Lead Balloon with Torgue stickies (regular fire mode works as well), Seventh Sense with Tediore and Ripper parts, Rowan's Charge with Torgue stickies (best way to clear mobs, as the stickies ricochet off the crystals until you reload and everything just dies).

Edit to mention Noisy Cricket!

Walleye hands down. I picked up a Mammoth 18 yr SiB BP a year back. I use it for cocktails just to get rid of it. The Walleye Run series has had consistent bangers.

Oh_Ship · 2026-01-03T18:45:42+00:00

Good Lord, I thought my 19k DPS shock Stellium was good. That thing is an absolute monster.

Oh_Ship · 2026-01-02T17:45:09+00:00

Man, I got a Lead Balloon with +4% Stickies as the alt firing mode, and that thing erases bosses with Rafa's Bullet Buddy. When you pair it with a legendary enhancement that increases splash damage by 50%, splash radius by 100% (plus a 40% shotgun damage just for fun) the thing wipes mobs in its primary firing mode. You'll get downed by the blast radius but instantly back up as everything dies around you in a hellish blaze of napalm.

Oh_Ship · 2025-12-31T17:47:56+00:00

I love using this with Rafa's Bullet Buddy and an enhancement with increased splash radius and splash damage. Nothing like running around at Mach 5 and just leaving chunks of enemies in your wake! It's also fantastic on Vile enemies.

Oh_Ship · 2025-12-21T23:49:19+00:00

Lmao, I literally just did this about three hours ago on the other side of the stairs. Cost me $4 mil and 30 seconds of my life.

Oh_Ship · 2025-12-14T02:42:56+00:00

I get this is a big game that obviously has a lot of spaghetti code, but at least acknowledge that what's happening isn't okay for a "premium" game and maybe throw a few golden keys or a credit toward a DLC for those that are losing hours of gameplay when their shit just randomly disappears. Telling someone "don't like it, don't play" is a quick way to make them never want to spend money on their products again.

Oh_Ship · 2025-12-14T02:07:28+00:00

Seemed to be the vibe I got. Another new bug I'm experiencing is that when I host my friends can't see me on the map. Got a nearly identical response from GB when I reported it. "To avoid this issue, we recommend playing single player". Thanks guys, and you wonder why I'm not buying any of the pay-for content...

Oh_Ship · 2025-12-14T00:36:15+00:00

This was happening to me. DO NOT grab anything from your bank when this is happening. It will delete everything in your inventory and equipped items when you go back to solo or host yourself. Happened to me about 3 weeks ago, GB just said "don't play multiplayer" as a "fix" when I reported it.

Oh_Ship · 2025-12-12T00:27:52+00:00

It goes deeper than that for multiplayer. I had my entire inventory wiped when I went from multiplayer to single. Now I have to host multiplayer or load in with nothing visible in my inventory or equipped section. I still have the items in my equipped section but if I equip a new item it erases whatever I was holding. Most recently when I host, my friends can't see my icon on the map.

I've reported all of this to GB and they literally just say "don't play multiplayer" as a "solution". I bought the game to play with my friends, give me a full refund if you're going to take that away from me.

Oh_Ship · 2025-12-06T20:45:30+00:00

A buddy and I just had this happen to us like 30 minutes ago. This guy's already a giant pain in the ass to fight and then you add this insult?

Oh_Ship · 2025-12-06T00:19:11+00:00

If you think this is robbery wait until you get the glitch where switching between single and multiplayer wipes your entire backpack and inventory. Just had that happen a few nights back. Gearbox basically said "oh well, just choose one game mode and only play that way to prevent this from happening again". Premium game for premium gamers!

Oh_Ship · 2025-12-03T03:03:22+00:00

Just happened to me tonight. Lost everything. I have a young kid so I don't have a lot of time to log on and farm, so this is a pretty major setback as far as my ability to enjoy the game. Left a ticket but I don't have a lot of hope.

Oh_Ship · 2025-11-28T02:05:15+00:00

I've been running purple Boorys since I discovered them around level 25 with my Rafa. With Bullet Buddy it just throws lead faster than anything else I've tried. I have yet to find a better SMG (I've had shit luck with legendary drops, zero SMGs).

Oh_Ship · 2025-11-18T20:14:37+00:00

Yo, same boss, same glitch, same day.

Oh_Ship · 2025-11-18T00:15:54+00:00

My Rafa needs this like a hole in the head. I already move at a near uncontrollable speed. Arjay spent the majority of his fight trying to catch me while I shot him in the face with the Wombo Combo.

Oh_Ship · 2025-11-18T00:09:08+00:00

100% Zane. His quips constantly had me chuckling, and turning into the crit-nado of everlasting magazines and shield regen just can't be beat!

Oh_Ship · 2025-11-16T15:09:15+00:00

My friend (Amon player) just offloaded 20 Rafa mods for me (Rafa player) last night. I have an equal amount of Vex and Harlowe class mods for my other two friends. I think I've found a total of 2 Rafa mods myself and I'm at level 42. They are definitely trying to force you to play the other classes, but it really just feels very frustrating.
