A good thing to remember is that non-elemental weapons get 20% less damage against armor, so it's usually best to shoot the loaders eyes, since that always counts as neutral.
Even though this weapon is certainly not as good as some others in the base game and not really that viable it's really fun to use in normal mode when it can actually one-hit almost all enemies.
i'm surprised they didn't just go the fire rate route. i would of boosted the damage more considering you won't really use critical ascention, maybe around 3 mil power. that would take into account of the fire rate and would turn it into a real "bet everything on 1 shot" cannon (something i would like to see for the unforgivab-i mean, unforgiven)
I recently had this weapon with axton dough. I didn't have a good alternative, that's why I loved it. It was by far the strongest sniper rifle I had for many levels.
@@TheFarthan that wasn't the reason. The reason is it can't crit, and compared to other non unique etech pistols( which also suck) it has less damage. They now fixed it by increasing its damage by 25%, giving it 3 projectiles, and decreasing its ammo consumption
Hey I just wanted to let you know that you're my favorite BL youtuber and your humor is hilarious to me and I just find comfort in watching your videos especially in my very last day of high school and getting kicked out of my house in the same day.
Got the Sleech working! :D Check out discord for some screenshots, I can tell you right away that the new additional slag effect (100 % chance) on the Leech grenade is a blast! EDIT: And it's available on github! Happy slagging!
Yo, just wanted to point out that the damage number you got for the Purple Snider in the beginning had a stack of CA added on. The stack didn't fade before you fired, so that's part of the reason why the damage was so high
Would u ever consider doing a video on the Pimpernels sweet spot, I know that would be helpful for me but it may be helpful to some of your other viewers
This might be a damn fine gun to use almost exclusively in deception with a full mag, then switch to a faster, more consistent rifle. Could go really nicely with all the potential damage boosts available in deception, including kill confirmed (you can afford to zoom in longer when not getting shot. I also occasionally used this weapon in earlier playthroughs, and would reload after my first shot. It is barely slower, and zer0 can also get the damage bonus from osok doing that (combined with his ludicrous reload speed buffs)
This would also almost definitely work beautifully with the morningstar buff that you recently covered. Get about five stacks of that buff, and switch to this bad boy in deception. My goodness.
I'm going to be honest I wasn't used to snipers and I found this sniper and it helped me so much bc it improved my accuracy with the lower fire rate and help me to use more snipers throughout game
I always understood Buffalo and EG as something you should use in pair with Invader, for instance. Stacking critical hits with a rapid firing gun, and performing rare, but powerful shots with a bolt action. I actually love this gun, because it's offer unique usage expirience, IMO. That iron sights w/o scope and bolt acting I mean. EG sucks at this point, because it has no iron sights and that is grants some kind of displeasure to use for me.
give it a vladof barrel or grip to boost that fire rate to 1 or hopefully more and you can switch back to the legendary sniper com, that'll give you the damage boost rather then the scope shroud. unfortunately the fire rate booster is on the scope too.
To me, the buffalo is a two sided coin. On one hand, the lack of a scope makes it very difficult to aim. But if your able to land crits that easily, the other part of this rifle is that it can one hit almost every enemy. With a LVL48 variation of the buffalo, the damage upon getting a crit would be a total of 171K. Which is around 171,000 with the added +65% weapom damage alongside the +180% critical hit damage. So it does seem like its not a very bad gun overall.
Buffed or not buffed this weapon does not suck because it comes in Borderlands 2 as a weapon with collectible value. It's kind of awesome just to have it in your inventory and to shoot weak enemies for fun. Honestly, Dukino's mom always forcing me to duck behind the elevator console. She always kill the bandits superfast and before I empty one clip of bullets on her, she's already coming for my ass and no bandits around. I often fall in fight for life mode as her jumps sometimes succeed through the elevator console and I die of course. She's pain in the ass in the old mine and at digistruct peak. I really hate fighting her. My melee attacks with Krieg are doing almost nothing and I have Rapier, amazing relic that is giving me a higher percentage of melee damage, I have a great class mode, I have Hide of Terra, skill trees and the whole build is about Krieg's melee damage and still I'm slagging her and throwing the buzz axe, hitting her with melee attacks from close distance and NOTHING man... it's frustrating. Really it is :(
I’m new to borderlands and I’m pretty confused as to how you got the quest reward weapon with such high stats. Also, what does the overpower level 8 mean? Great video nonetheless!
How about the Tresspasser? As far as I recalled you basically called it the single worst unique Sniper Rifle in the entire game in your original does it suck video.
Gabriel Espíndola I think it would make sense to make it's base damage equal to it's damage prefix counterpart but still allowing us to get the critical prefix and such. It would compensate for the Buffalo's awful fire rate and lack of scope in my opinion.
how about, 10mil base dmg , consumes 5ammo/shot, has 0.1 fire rate, but has a mag size of only 5 with high reload speed.. so every time you get 1shot 1kill bonus.
A good thing to remember is that non-elemental weapons get 20% less damage against armor, so it's usually best to shoot the loaders eyes, since that always counts as neutral.
the iron sights are nice IMO
The buffed-alo
4:45 other character? Haven’t heard of them
I'm glad they didn't increase the fire rate, because you would lose the concept of the gun
Even though this weapon is certainly not as good as some others in the base game and not really that viable it's really fun to use in normal mode when it can actually one-hit almost all enemies.

I recently had this weapon with axton dough. I didn't have a good alternative, that's why I loved it. It was by far the strongest sniper rifle I had for many levels.
Even when this weapon isnt the best one it make a lot fun to use in my opinion
One of the problems with the original buffalo was that it couldn't get a fire rate accessory because that one also goes on the scope
Patched wanderlust next? It seems to have got decently buffed, so i think it's worth to take a look at.
It seems he's gonna do all the snipers first
Robo Creeper
In my humble opinion the Wanderlust is only usable with the Reborn patch applied.
TheFarthan
Well, the Reborn patch does that to the Wanderlust (in fact it does to all E-Tech pistols), that's why I say it's worth a try.
@@TheFarthan the fact that you cant make it crit really lowers its dps
@@TheFarthan that wasn't the reason. The reason is it can't crit, and compared to other non unique etech pistols( which also suck) it has less damage. They now fixed it by increasing its damage by 25%, giving it 3 projectiles, and decreasing its ammo consumption

There are some old videos about it on MolMF channel.
shoot about one meter below the head of the enemy
Handsome Jack We are American.
Bruce Wilson, then shoot about one american meter below critical hit spot of an enemy. Problem solved.
Bruce Wilson
and? a meter is a meter worldwide

I actually used to really like this weapon in areas I could stack crazy C.A and then get that "bang" it felt like it was suppose to have.
I loved the Mailiwan Snipers
I'm going to be honest I wasn't used to snipers and I found this sniper and it helped me so much bc it improved my accuracy with the lower fire rate and help me to use more snipers throughout game
Fire gets that bonus damage on flesh as well. Which still shows the neutral damage of the gun isn't bad.
Pretty much every Jakobs weapon has a higher base damage than other manufacturers and that crit bonus to compensate their lack of elemental damage.
I wonder why no one has noticed yet but all iron sights in BL2 are not centered at all, they aim way below the screen's center.
Still gonna stick to my Hyperion etec snipers
On one of my zero playthroughs i used it in tvhm, reloading was faster than cycling the bolt haha
I would guess being on ps4 I don't get community patch?

The Thing is that i liike those ironsights
So what is the best Jakobs sniper rifle at the time being in your opinion?
The damage shroud is best on zero due to critical ascensi0n but is it still the best on the other chlasses?
give it a vladof barrel or grip to boost that fire rate to 1 or hopefully more and you can switch back to the legendary sniper com, that'll give you the damage boost rather then the scope shroud. unfortunately the fire rate booster is on the scope too.
TheItzal11 adding the vladof barrel would remove the front iron sight, making it similar to the elephant gun
Why can’t they make a community patch for console
The Goblin it would be against the terms of service
The Goblin Sony and Microsoft are much much stricter on what people can do to mod their games
The "Community patch" is a very big mod pack. You unfortunately can't mod console, a side from using gibbed guns.
The Goblin It’s impossible, and no one would bother wasting their time modding a console when a superior platform already exists.
#PCMR .... All that needs to be said.
One of my favourites weapons in the game.
Maybe switch to the legendary com once you've stacked 20-30 stacks of critical ascension?
If this weapon had any type of scope , it whould be broken imo. Even if the scope was the exact same as the normal fov, it whould still be broken
Can the Transformers absorb the shock balls?

Gearbox should sponsor you be abuse you're the only youtuber that makes me wanna play borderlands again.
Bufferlands 2: Buffed Buffalo Gun- Is it Buff?
Take a look at carnage shotgun on community patch

It's kind of awesome just to have it in your inventory and to shoot weak enemies for fun. Honestly, Dukino's mom always forcing me to duck behind the elevator console.

Really it is :(
Still my favorite gun, best with all Jakob’s parts
Except jakobs stock
Quick Question: What grenade mod do you use when going through Washburn Refinery?
Mister Mayonnaise pretty sure it’s a slag transfusion.
The buffalo was my fav gun
Welp you messed up you had a stack active and then you shot the snider before showing off the CP version
should have titled the video BUFFEDalo just saying also never stop being based luke
I’m new to borderlands and I’m pretty confused as to how you got the quest reward weapon with such high stats. Also, what does the overpower level 8 mean? Great video nonetheless!
Vince Tang op 8 is once you have reached the level cap you can run a dlc called digistruct peak to get weapons and enemies higher than ur level
Brandon Andre ooh I see thanks for the reply
Fastball does it suck if you haven't?
Josh Seay the fastball is great without the patch, tf you mean
Its a shame borderlands 2 never had a true anti material rifle. Imagine a barret 50.cal esque sniper that would annihilate anything on a critical hit.
Aka blue jacobs snipers. Those things are the .50 cals of the game.
I don't think Dukino's mom drops the Buffalo, it's a quest-reward, you gotta do the Dukino quests to get it.
in UCP she does
Buffalo it's my favorite sniper, srry for my bad english
Hello Mr. Fiber how are you today
I don't get it, is this on PC? They're still updating BL2?
One Wear Reviews “they” is community patch, not gearbox.
ahhh, makes sense
How about the Tresspasser? As far as I recalled you basically called it the single worst unique Sniper Rifle in the entire game in your original does it suck video.
Darthplagueis13 it has a niche use or two, though.
When Luke’s newest post is 1 year ago
😢
With the patch, lvl 61 Buffalo is better than lvl 61 Elephant gun
Borderlands GOTY for ps4 and xbox and pc now exists.
Is it just snipers? Where’s the Evil Smasher? Where’s the Chulain? The landscaper? The Tunguska? The fucking Tidal Wave? Seriously.
Buffed-alo.
The búfalo recives too much hate for wath It is.
Gabriel Espíndola

please do the infection
Got to say I do think the Buffalo sucks. Had a quick go then sold it for hard cash.
BUFFalo
suck? I loved it!
Rip stacks
Luke ftw
how about, 10mil base dmg , consumes 5ammo/shot, has 0.1 fire rate, but has a mag size of only 5 with high reload speed.. so every time you get 1shot 1kill bonus.
Suman Roy thats just overkill
no
Suman Roy Lmao
Trickle in
From the worst into ww2 rifle
