Worst nerf for me was Tediore. Too strong in Arms Race apparently so they addressed that by hard nerfing the entire manufacturer lineup in and out of Arms Race
What pissed me off about this nerf was that at the time, there weren't really any dedicated loot sources. You had to get a lot of gear via world drop. I had the Crossroads for maybe a week & then GB nerfed it into oblivion.
This carried me through those early slaughter shaft runs where all the enemies had cryo launchers. Nerf made it unusable. The buff it eventually got wasn't nearly enough.
Bruh the one weapon that gearbox truly destroyed. Was the recursion.. after they ruined the ricochet witch build and the recursion. It really hurt me as a player. I kept playing but no build and weapon ever hit thar level of satisfaction afterwards.
Projectile recursion is that weapon for me. Had about 100 of them and used all different types and loved them all until they nerfed it and really stopped playing bl3 after that
Several of the shotguns. The Lob, and the "One Punch Man" reference. Never got back what they lost and another I can't think of right off the top of my head. It was OP at the begging, and they nerfed it so bad it never recovered. Or the laughable Infinity pistol return.
From what i can remember the crossroads gets nerfef HEAVELY a few weeks after lounch. In the first 2 months they nerfed every really strong weapon to the oblivioun. The gamers got realy angry after a few weeks, bc GB destroyed the best New found builds pretty much instantly haha i swear....they destroyed every good build, after players found them put them together and showed it on yt. Flak was at his best, zane was sooo low Tier. Every player wanted To play flak. About 2 or 3 months into the games lifecycle they came up with m4 and a few New weopons. The first dlc was avaiable and at that time GB left good builds and weopons alone. They Büffel even Some Things like all dahl smg's and Things like that. Than after a while a really "big brain" decided to turn the enemies health to 1000% ....or in other words "m2.0" and man the complete scaling of the game went down the Hill. There were with 1 Update only 3 or 4 weapons that were viable. Of course they nerfed all These weopons and Buffet it back after the time like the kaoson hahaha(Oh man....a Studio of great ideas). Bl3 had the best scaling with the Buffed and New weapons on m4 imo. Today the scaling is allmost relativly fine in comparison what we have Seen in the past, but even now the weoponscaling is a bit over the place....with a healing smg that you have can aquire via tipping moxxy and stupid stuff like that. In the beginning of the game there were many blue and uniques that were good too like in bl2. But with all that "scraching" with the game scaling every colour other than Orange is complete irrelevant (exception the mentioned smg). What a sad a complete dumb Story of a Video game. Since bl3 im out of GB games. Ans a few weeks ago i saw in a yt Video that they did the same stupid ass Things with wl with Chaoschamber 100. I mean come on, what is that other than completely randomness the Proof that this Studio has no ideas considering gamescaling and endgame. I think i ll never buy a game from GB Studios.
Thank you for your videos, they are very informative. I just wanted to tell you, what sets me off in your introduction. I know, many YTers now do this „it‘s x from y“ thing now. That makes sense when it‘s „Hey, it‘s Andrew from BangerNews“ to give a face (or rather a name) to the channel that is named arbitrarily. However, „it‘s Spartan Game Zone (SGZ) from the Spartan Game Zone“ is awfully redundant.
GBX's weapon/game balancing ethos both frustrates and confuses me, like they nerfed the hell out of the Crossroads seemingly instantly for being a bit too strong at the time, and then moved on to go apeshit with Mayhem 2.0 and then began releasing and buffing oodles and oodles of other weapons to be unreasonably strong and game breaking that basically made M10/M11 a joke to the point that it didn't matter what the special effect was or what your build was because the card damage and m-scaling was so high it didn't matter for anything but 1-shotting/ speed-killing bosses.
Pls make video for only Zane in 2022 with (Perfect Build-weapons,shields class mod,artefactсs and skill points on Takedown of the Guardian Breach on MH11 72 level . and show everything I failed on Part 3 Crystals ,every last is die .Have more enemy and my damage its small,and ya .The problem is regenerate on ammo,and tell me who Guardian Rank?
Just think with how much you seem to play Borderlands 3 your guardian rank should get high enough for your bonus Accuracy and Damage stats to bring this gun back to where it was.
Thats impossible....unlike bl2 the guardian rank boni dont reach infinite long. 15% is the highest u can get....but more likely is plus 14% on every stat. I have that with thousends of hours into game
I didn't play with it much before those changes but burst-fire and the hyperion weapon shield make a nice combo. These guns can be good when swapping them around too since they tend to drop in every elemental type. Can have multiple copies or mix and match some of the other smgs. Could be fun to have one in each hand too, have their shield strength combine and such, though that'd be something for their next installment maybe
GB doesnt Update this game for a long time now.... But the channel have to Pick any Kind of Material for New vids for a game that didnt get an Update for over 1,5 years or so.
Lol honestly completely forgot about this weapon and how silly it was like first month or two post launch. And yep fucking had to be nerfed into oblivion when this thing was sandhawk of bl3 before they put in the sandhawk😂
Look at the title of some of your videos. That’ll be a hint as to why shit gets nerfed into oblivion. On a non competitive game no less. Don’t use it if it’a “broken” to you. RUclipsrs are the biggest variable to the destruction of what was once fun in video games.
I miss this gun in its prime every day. Some days I use it just for nostalgic purpose Edit: and I mean hey ... we can always cross our fingers for a huge future buff Edit 2: I wanna start a drive to get Gearbox to give this weapon a much deserved buff and bring it back to its glory days
GB anounced over a year ago that this game will never see any Kind of patch or hot fixes again....and you hope still that they will buff this weapon? You are realy an optimist hmm

This is my version of the K6 Linoge curse. I get it as world drops so damn often. I've left so so so so many on the ground.
In an alternate universe, the Crossroad does the same damage as the Crit.
This carried me through those early slaughter shaft runs where all the enemies had cryo launchers. Nerf made it unusable. The buff it eventually got wasn't nearly enough.
This and the TK’s Wave were my first legendary weapons…. Really had fun with the Crossroad. Such a shame they nerfed it to the ground.
Recursion and other ricochet guns was so much fun to use before they removed element projectiles. It was my favorite mechanic😢

The Carrier was another weapon that was done dirty.
This is the weapon I have always wanted a buff of the most, I used to love using it when it was good and it’s such a shame that it never got rebuffed
Several of the shotguns. The Lob, and the "One Punch Man" reference. Never got back what they lost and another I can't think of right off the top of my head. It was OP at the begging, and they nerfed it so bad it never recovered. Or the laughable Infinity pistol return.
This was my first Mayhem Legendary that helped me get through the Mayhem levels.
We will never forget it's legacy.
As it should be!
the same thing used to happen to the kaoson before the buff. That and the yellowcake nerf ruined it.
The intro music for this type of video works very well😂
Haha thanks!
After they nerfed it to have 3 projectiles it became the fork in the road. Aint no crosses about it

Kinda wish they gave One Pump Chump a Buff too.
I remember this thing carrying me in end game and then they nerfed it and I didnt play for 3 months
I honestly miss the old Lob the most.
They really didn't want this game to be fun earlier in its life cycle.

The crossroad used to be one of my favorite guns but now it sucks
I miss the launch version
Same here had the game since launch, like Spartan said it was a go too gun, now it sits in my safe. R.I.P.
@@Acidburn426 Same bro, same.
@@Acidburn426 I also miss the Jakobs Manor Loot Tink farm. That shit was so OP before they nerfed drop rates n shit, and removed that loot tink spawn
At launch the gun was great
what a bummer. yeah never got to try it before.
Pls make video for only Zane in 2022 with (Perfect Build-weapons,shields class mod,artefactсs and skill points on Takedown of the Guardian Breach on MH11 72 level . and show everything
I failed on Part 3 Crystals ,every last is die .Have more enemy and my damage its small,and ya .The problem is regenerate on ammo,and tell me who Guardian Rank?
The Yellow Cake was pretty Hot then they dosed it. Then they tried to repair it.with limited success.
By the time I got one, it was nerfed.
A truly sad story, I'm sorry
im still playing before the update that nerfed the crossroad im playing my xbox offline
Have to look for Best SMG's...
Just think with how much you seem to play Borderlands 3 your guardian rank should get high enough for your bonus Accuracy and Damage stats to bring this gun back to where it was.

Man, i still cant beleive they didnt buff the crossroad after the nerf
They did although it was but a slap in the face
It was too fun to fire to get nerfed like it did
Redistributor is a good replacement
I still enjoy it with my Zane tho
Yeah I just leave those on the ground now in my travels .. not even worth picking up 😑
why would they do this it’s just not fun having a mayhem only weapon and is a legendary before they nerf it into the ground
I didn’t know gearbox was still updating this game.
GB doesnt Update this game for a long time now....
But the channel have to Pick any Kind of Material for New vids for a game that didnt get an Update for over 1,5 years or so.
It's not a nerf but sabotage
Lol honestly completely forgot about this weapon and how silly it was like first month or two post launch. And yep fucking had to be nerfed into oblivion when this thing was sandhawk of bl3 before they put in the sandhawk😂
Ngl thought this was a video on a buff they gave it or sum damnit
If only

now we have a no pewpew
they a bet similar but pewpew is alot better
Thanks ..
Kasoon is the best gun in the game
I miss this gun in its prime every day. Some days I use it just for nostalgic purpose
Edit: and I mean hey ... we can always cross our fingers for a huge future buff
Edit 2: I wanna start a drive to get Gearbox to give this weapon a much deserved buff and bring it back to its glory days
GB anounced over a year ago that this game will never see any Kind of patch or hot fixes again....and you hope still that they will buff this weapon? You are realy an optimist hmm
Sure while it might be nerfed, I'd say that it's still a very good gun
First ! ❤️
Stop going on about BL3. It is yesterday's game. Move da fuk on
