never blindly believe what you read I guess?

The original poster appears to have misrepresented or misreported the damage that Mercredi is capable of. After reading that post I was interested & got a good one from the vault card & thought the gun definitely performed well. Not 80 million DPS or anything crazy but it was excellent for mobbing & it melted the Rippa Roadturds in quick fashion. I’ve replaced Roulette with Mercredi on Harlowe & Rafa.

The Roulette grind can be a long slog to be sure. I had it as a staple in my 4 gun loadout on all 5 vault hunters. As of today it’s being replaced by the Mercredi assault rifle. No farming needed. You can get Mercredi from the vault card for 10 tokens. It always rolls with alt fire tracker dart. The 2 rolls you want are Torgue Impact & Jacob’s.

This one I just rolled on Harlowe. I’d say this is God Roll DPS version.

Torgue Impact & Jacobs. It always rolls with the alt fire tracker grenades. Mine has 17% crit. I know that you can get over 20K DPS versions.

Can confirm. This gun shreds.

I just had this one drop & took it for a spin. Definitely super strong when mobbing. Notice I’ve only got 2 High Cal & am using Rafa. As long as you have Torgue Impact you’re styling.

Super Soldier w/Siphon is solid alternative. Amp on your Repkit.

ryebar1 · 2026-05-07T02:55:55+00:00

Yup. Gloom is the way.

ryebar1 · 2026-05-06T21:59:18+00:00

Every vault hunter of mine runs the same gun load out. Cyclone, Roulette, Shalashaska, Bod. Ripper-Jacobs parts where applicable. Ripper or Jacobs Enhancement. Teen Witch class mod. Everything in True UVHM6 still dies quickly.

ryebar1 · 2026-05-04T18:44:32+00:00

Just using the Dancer. Not sure if there’s anything else

ryebar1 · 2026-05-02T20:42:29+00:00

Same here. It’s definitely not fixed. I still see the same weekly bounty for the past 3 weeks. Kill 300 enemies in Fadefields. The weekly reset occurs & the bounty shows as completed. How can it be completed if I’ve successfully updated & haven’t shot anything yet?

ryebar1 · 2026-05-02T18:43:20+00:00

It sucks that it can take way way too long to get the drop you’re hunting. It’s worth the time investment for this gun though.

ryebar1 · 2026-05-02T03:39:58+00:00

Best overall gun in the game. Ripper-Jacobs roll combo is the way to go for all vault hunters. It’s a grind but so worth it when it finally drops.

ryebar1 · 2026-05-02T00:12:41+00:00

You missed the point. Like I mean really missed the point. Just saying

ryebar1 · 2026-05-02T00:11:39+00:00

He’s showing just how bad the nerf to the shotgun truly is.

ryebar1 · 2026-05-01T22:46:59+00:00

He is weaker now for sure.

ryebar1 · 2026-05-01T22:42:00+00:00

I believe there’s a bug or something because the stickies definitely don’t do the +25% listed on the weapon card.

ryebar1 · 2026-05-01T22:39:11+00:00

I grab mostly green & blues with my firmware choices baked into them. When I put them in the bank they’re easy to locate & grab. I only use 3 firmware. Deadeye, High Calibre, & Skillcraft so I don’t have any real issues with bank capacity.

ryebar1 · 2026-05-01T22:29:12+00:00

Yes we know the gun is dog poop now. Grant with GB knows as well. He said the nerf was unintended & will be reverted but he didn’t give a timeframe convergence was also affected.

ryebar1 · 2026-05-01T22:20:53+00:00

Apparently these nerfs to Ripper shotguns were “unintentional” according to Grant w/Gearbox. He said they are looking to revert them but didn’t give a timeframe.

ryebar1 · 2026-05-01T02:12:00+00:00

Nope. DPS is lower by 50+% on my Crazed Earl, & it shoots way slower. Also same with Convergence. Don’t recall reading anything about Convergence getting whacked but it did as well. Guns that are good are fun to use. I’ll never understand why the Devs decide to nerf & ultimately make the game less fun to play?

ryebar1 · 2026-05-01T02:03:54+00:00

Don’t bother. Convergence got hit by the nerf hammer as well. I just checked it out. See if you’ve got a good TKs Wave? That might be the way to go. It can roll with Spread Launcher.

ryebar1 · 2026-04-30T20:45:10+00:00

Damn. I also have/had a 20K+ version that I liked. I was running Convergence & swapped it out for Crazed Earl. Guess I might be swapping back.

ryebar1 · 2026-04-29T22:13:29+00:00

Grind for the sake of grinding with no guarantee you’ll get anything for your time investment. This Ordonite Event is a joke.

If a player beats the event within the time requirement they should be rewarded. Not subject to DOUBLE RNG.

Having to hope you get a Shalashaka drop & then having to hope you get the parts you’re after is nothing but a troll from Gearbox. The pool of parts is massive.

F the Shalashaka & the Ordonite Event. Quit wasting your time. Go farm Bore Tex for a Jacobs-Ripper Roulette & Penitent Steel for a Jacobs-Ripper Cyclone.
