I feel like the Storm would pair well with Singularity grenades. Gather a bunch of enemies into a clump then unload with the storm while they are all clumped.
Arya Dark becuase gearbox dont think hard enough about game balancing wich is why uvhm is a nighmare they threw it in at last second boreder lands is not supposed to be stupid hard all the time and yes it is hard either slag or broken gear combos are required toplay uvhm I hate uvhm tvhm isent hard enouh id just love double health not 4x double eneimes no health regen
Basic Spencer Agreed. Base UVHM I shredded through. Slag + Bee + Sandhawk/Kitten/Bitch/Unkempt Harold/ whatever. OP8 is really hard, but super fun. UVHM+OP8 is definitely my favorite mode
Most of them are playable and pretty good in normal mode/TVHM, but weren't properly balanced for UVHM/OP8. The same problem applied to almost anything DoT-reliant. A shame, but balance issues made a lot of very fun weapons completely useless. Other unique weapons just didn't get the flat damage increases they would've needed to stay competitive. Most of the issues were rather a lack of adjustments than just bad weapons, in my opinion.
UVHM isnt really hard when it came out it was really fun since it was a challenge at first you had to really put in your mind that you need to slag targets. but once you hit high OP levels, you really need to get a proper setup to do the content in game, but UVHM alone isnt hard and is actually fun.
Still bothers me how the giant electro-ball visual effect on the Storm isn't actually tied to any splash damage, only the smaller orbs are. That would be a fitting buff to the Storm, give it a large AOE effect on top of the mini electro balls
decrease the spread, change them to have a fixed pattern like luke suggests, maybe even adjust the range/radius of the orbs (or at least include something in there to let me mess around with that :^) )
You've come a long way, now you just passive aggressively joke about the barrels instead of rage fueled rants about them. I might end up missing the rage over barrels though, it was pretty hilarious.
Pretty impressive with Zer0, still. I haven't done a run with it on Maya, but I did a Gaige run a few months ago and was impressed with it. Low Anarchy, WDT, EE and EB are a wicked combination with it.
Also, most of these guns are not so much top tier after the patch, they are viable and strong enough to be good options now. Borderlands 2, especially, suffers from having an abundance of great choices. The patch just makes the less-impressive options better than they were.
Vit D Milk Yeah the orbs seem to only randomly hit, but this weapon can be absolutely devastating with a Shock/Anarchy Gaige. If you ever try it, use a Grog Nozzle get the "drunk effect" then swap and shoot The Storm... then hold on tight and cross your fingers as your P.C or console struggles to capture the destruction. Lol.
I also love it, it's amazing against threshers on Axton, as he has great grenade boosts and good damage boosts, but most importantly the massively increased fire-rate upon getting a kill with him greatly boosts the orb damage. My only real complaint is the way the orbs hit, I also wish it was like the grenade mods.
@@khrashingphantom9632 Yep, that's the way. A dunk shot with the Storm on a badass thresher deals probably some of the highest damage you can do in one shit, there was a vid of someone 1-shotting the pyro thresher in on OP8 when running the creature slaughter dome.
In my gaige playthrough even without WDT, this thing was a beast, it melted things and let's not even talk about getting a drunk effect with it. This thing after the patch is insane
Hey, Man of Low Fiber!! I just received this awesome rifle yesterday farming the Snowman. Received it from the loot train. I don't play on PC,I play XBOX! ITS amazing how PC gamers get to buff or mod certain games to there advantage.
This was always one of my favorite ideas for a weapon a gun that basically shot tesla grenades i always thought would have been so much fun, and im so glad its actually nice now :D
I think the only person that could really use the Storm before the patch was Gaige. Now thanks to the patch it is (possibly) one of her best weapons alongside the Twister.
With the major buffs to the orbs I think the Storm (as demonstrated on Herl-E) performs really well against large enemies. Much like the Flakker, the random spread doesn't matter at all when used against something with a large hitbox. Another place I think the Storm could work well is against surveyors in the Peak. Weaken a loader or something to lure them in and then take the enemy and the surveyors out in a single shot if you're quick enough. (edit: I didn't watch the video all the way through, you mentioned surveyors later in the video) Definitely worth messing around with post-patch.
Here's a drinking game: Whenever Luke says "that's pretty cool" take a shot. lol But in all seriousness man, I've always loved this weapon with or without the patch. Having a long-range weapon that can throw out teslas for damaging nearby enemies is a cool idea. Also Shock damage is not only great against shields, but it's the only other element besides Slag that deals consistent damage to any enemy. Neither Flesh nor Armor messes with it's damage!
TBH I think the orbs still could need a slight buff. Another 50k damage and the carpet bombing could wear down weaker enemies much quicker, proccing your kill skills to help you out with the tougher enemies of the pack.
THIS is another great weapon for Gaige as well, like a lot of other sniper rifles. I would even say The Storm is top tier for Gaige, unlike other guns people insist are "great" with Gaige like The Seeker or The Wanderlust.
I know this might sound ridiculous, but I think MAYBE you should review these snipers without Critical Ascension. All these snipers become monsters when you start stacking.
If anyone could help me, I downloaded the Filter Tool and tried running it with Java but it just opens a console window for a split second then closes. I have no idea what to do.
Sniper zero is so underrated imo if you know how to use him. Although he doesnt have the best healing capabilities, his damage is so good once you have enough CA stacks
The strength relics always sucked for melee Zer0. With the Community Patch, is it any better than the Bone of the Ancients or they can hold their own to be situational at times?
EpicGamerSetzuna try it, this my build if you interesting (Legendary Catalyst) bl2skills.com/patch/mechromancer.html#530150150051555005110511410150100000
thatguy withapotato Don’t listen to the other guy, it’s like a control area where all the weapons can be tested and compared to each other without favoring any one weapon. Plus, I think he favors the area.
I'm kinda worried seeing the community, again, does better job than the developers themselves. They buffed SOME weapons in the final patch, and made some decent changes but left SO MANY THINGS to just rot in a pile of shit.
*deals over nine hundred thousand damage* yea in my mind that seems like a pretty fucking sweet ass gun for somebody who never played past like level 50
Hello guys man that will never loose his virginity here, today we’re gonna see if my opinion is actually good or if it doesn’t matter, turns out it isn’t worth a damn
Austin Scalese Pretty sure the slag pimp has one of the highest slag chances in the game, not to mention he is playing sniper Zer0, so an actual sniper would suit him better than an smg.
I know but i only think this because the pimp is just doing a lot of damage to some of the enemies so itd be better to use something that wouldnt deal as much damage to the enemies

I gotta binge this channel again. Just so good. Really useful for good loadouts. Never disappoints
pop tart Damn I wish I could've been watching that long. I only started last year and I love the vids.
Christian Forde this weapon is op on maya
I feel like the Storm would pair well with Singularity grenades. Gather a bunch of enemies into a clump then unload with the storm while they are all clumped.
Hell yeah. Get a shock bone too, and just wreck face.
Full shock gaige plus quasar.
It baffles me why some Pearlescents aren't playable. Why make rare drops that are simply unplayable?
Arya Dark becuase gearbox dont think hard enough about game balancing wich is why uvhm is a nighmare they threw it in at last second boreder lands is not supposed to be stupid hard all the time and yes it is hard either slag or broken gear combos are required toplay uvhm I hate uvhm tvhm isent hard enouh id just love double health not 4x double eneimes no health regen
Bad Maw UVHM isn't hard, because using a slag weapon isn't hard. Overpowered Level 8 is hard, and actually requires the best combos to succeed.
Basic Spencer Agreed. Base UVHM I shredded through. Slag + Bee + Sandhawk/Kitten/Bitch/Unkempt Harold/ whatever. OP8 is really hard, but super fun. UVHM+OP8 is definitely my favorite mode

It does though.
If you were paying attention instead, you would have noticed.
In the patched version? Because 1:10 clearly shows that is not the case for the normal version
What the fuck do you think?
Damn dude calm down, it's just a game
y u hef 2 be med
I'm so fucking happy you and this series are back man! The only bl2 RUclipsr I'll watch.
Gaige with electric build + Legendary Catalyst + Storm = huge damage over time, and tons of fun :D
I feel like if they could decrease the spread of the orbs if would make them more effective
Yeah I can see that
decrease the spread, change them to have a fixed pattern like luke suggests, maybe even adjust the range/radius of the orbs (or at least include something in there to let me mess around with that :^) )
A Shitter or just make it like a Tesla grenade and have one orb that hits multiple enemies with decent range
that also sounds good
You've come a long way, now you just passive aggressively joke about the barrels instead of rage fueled rants about them. I might end up missing the rage over barrels though, it was pretty hilarious.
Hey I'm still pretty new to Borderlands 2, and both your old and new videos have helped me out a lot, so thanks!
Ayy my main man Luke keepin' the borderlands uploads coming. I love watching your stuff dude.
Jeeeeeeez that was almost orgasmic when you shot the target dummy after applying the patch
Pretty impressive with Zer0, still. I haven't done a run with it on Maya, but I did a Gaige run a few months ago and was impressed with it. Low Anarchy, WDT, EE and EB are a wicked combination with it.
Also, most of these guns are not so much top tier after the patch, they are viable and strong enough to be good options now. Borderlands 2, especially, suffers from having an abundance of great choices. The patch just makes the less-impressive options better than they were.
That outro 😂 I love it man. I love your videos. Keep up the good work!
Love ur videos man, i watch them all the time. Its b awesome to c something new from u no matter the content 👍😁♥♥👍😁♥♥
Luke, try out the bearcat on Axton. It's quite good now
I REALLY like the storm. I play gaige so it does pretty well with her. I just wish the orbs would all hit.
Vit D Milk Yeah the orbs seem to only randomly hit, but this weapon can be absolutely devastating with a Shock/Anarchy Gaige.

Hey, Man of Low Fiber!!
I just received this awesome rifle yesterday farming the Snowman.
Received it from the loot train.
I don't play on PC,I play XBOX!
ITS amazing how PC gamers get to buff or mod certain games to there advantage.
I can confirm that Sniper Gaige with Storm, Wires Don't Talk and Nth Degree to be pretty good fun
This was always one of my favorite ideas for a weapon a gun that basically shot tesla grenades i always thought would have been so much fun, and im so glad its actually nice now :D

What a great way to start Sunday.

Id like it if you did a video on the elephant gun or one of the slow firing jakobs weapons if they got improved in the community patch
Here's a drinking game: Whenever Luke says "that's pretty cool" take a shot. lol

Yo, i dont know if they added this in the patch or not, but those floating shock orbs get amp damage from the bee
Taka Brute even without the patch, it's like that~
absol 2296 oh, well its even better then
TheFarthan ne, he was right
Nice vid...Hey Luke, do you have a current link for Bruteforce and Gibbed for PS3?
I was waiting for this one...
It seems like the pimpernel should be pearlescent and the storm should be unique because of their damage capabilities
I would love to see a series full of other characters
I’d like to see you use The Elephant Gun, if it has been buffed in this patch it would be interesting to see if you find it viable.
Hey Luke, have you tried the Veritas for the Does it Suck videos, I'm just curious about.
With the patch, i like this gun alot better against stalkers. Less aim required
With Gaige, is actually a terrifyingly strong generalist sniper that is one of her best weapons at low anarchy.
THIS is another great weapon for Gaige as well, like a lot of other sniper rifles. I would even say The Storm is top tier for Gaige, unlike other guns people insist are "great" with Gaige like The Seeker or The Wanderlust.
To be fair, I think the Twister is the ultimate stalker killer.
Do you think you will do an updated version of your sniper Zer0 since the ucp buffed some snipers like the Storm
Does velocity have an effect on the spread of the orbs?
Good question.
from my time using the weapon the orbs seem to have a fixed distance when they spawn after you shoot. with or without bullet acceleration skills.
They don't fly away from the original bullet, but spawn randomly. Given that they don't move, velocity has no influence
Can confirm that the storm is not only effective but very fun with Maya and chain reaction
Really wish gearbox would bring this patch to consoles
Just got it to drop but mine doesn’t have the cool skin??? I got it out of a red chest
I know this might sound ridiculous, but I think MAYBE you should review these snipers without Critical Ascension. All these snipers become monsters when you start stacking.
If anyone could help me, I downloaded the Filter Tool and tried running it with Java but it just opens a console window for a split second then closes. I have no idea what to do.
Sniper zero is so underrated imo if you know how to use him. Although he doesnt have the best healing capabilities, his damage is so good once you have enough CA stacks
Did the UCP do anything for E-Tech snipers? If so, test them out.
They're fucking bonkers, Bew has a video where he annihilates loaders wirh a fire moloko.
It would be interesting to see what The Storm could do with Gaige.
The strength relics always sucked for melee Zer0. With the Community Patch, is it any better than the Bone of the Ancients or they can hold their own to be situational at times?
Seems a little better than before but when the pimpernel exists, i see no real reason to use it. Might be nice on gaige though.
N
Why? i tought that the Volcano was the sniper to go with Krieg
By that logic, why use anything when the Pimpernel exists?
Oddly enough, I never found the Pimpernel great. Not sure why.
Hey MoLMF, is the storm a good option on Axton now?
This is probably my favorite weapon with Gaige now.
I've always found the storm very cool, just the concept of the gun! Now with the skin, I'ts one of the coolest guns in the game, In my opinion
how do i get the patch, i got it but my one isn't anything like the patched
This is my favorite sniper on Gaige now.
If the orbs flew out up and away a lil bit in a fixed pattern to where they would all hit a static enemy this gun would be nearly.
How do you put the aquamarine skin on sniders non patched version??
With gaige and anarchy (150)+electric build is a top tier sniper. Better than pimpernel.
Gabriel Bermudez Angeles 100% agree it’s so OP
Meh l just go shamfleet
Boring...
Gabriel Bermudez Angeles I'm going to try this out!
EpicGamerSetzuna try it, this my build if you interesting (Legendary Catalyst)
bl2skills.com/patch/mechromancer.html#530150150051555005110511410150100000
I just got it from a loot midget patched, the stalkers at wildlife where shocked that I got it
Wait why is mine purple and white?..
Hey I was just wondering why you always go to the Washburn refinery
thatguy withapotato easy area so its easier for bad weapons to do well
thatguy withapotato Don’t listen to the other guy, it’s like a control area where all the weapons can be tested and compared to each other without favoring any one weapon. Plus, I think he favors the area.
oh ok thank guys
Try Elephant Gun for the next video
Wat when did u start back uploading
Kash madde 22.04
Digger Nicks 😂
I guess this patch is PC only? I put borderlands in my playstation hoping there'd be an update to install ... nope.
All orbs need to do damage and they need to be out longer gun fixed
I'm kinda worried seeing the community, again, does better job than the developers themselves. They buffed SOME weapons in the final patch, and made some decent changes but left SO MANY THINGS to just rot in a pile of shit.
Im like 100 percent sure that gearbox isnt making these patches, so thats just not gonna happen
The community didn’t design the game that is 97% perfect as it is. They just took over that last 3%.
Test out the patched Cherie Amie next please
Nice Video again :)
Storm is even better with Grog Nozzle's "drunk" effect.
When ever i see borderlands content i feel bad, especially with yotaslaya, hurt me knowing that he never got to experience the stuff today
Too bad yoteslaya decided to kill himself and several other people.
This gun is OP as hell on Catalyst Gaige.
Are the patches available to ps3?
Storm electric shock just tickles enemyies with no damage:/
I was just farming for a Sham and just got one from bnk-3r, wtf. Was it just luck? or now bnk-3r has a percentage dropping chance? Any answers
Olman Gallo bnker always dropped the Sham
I like how that skin is almost the exact same one it has in 3.
They just copy pasted the commerce skin
The thing is we are talking about a mission reward outperforming the highest rarity in the game.
Luv ur Vids
This series should be named "Does it still Suck?"
I possibly may have missed it, but were you wearing a shock bone?
Yes
*deals over nine hundred thousand damage* yea in my mind that seems like a pretty fucking sweet ass gun for somebody who never played past like level 50
‘And they’re a bunch of fucking subhumans’😂
Is the "community patch" an actual patch/update or is it just a mod that makes things better than they should be?
Now THAT'S a Storm.
I would love to use this for Maya if I had a PC rip
The patch literally gave it a 300% boost on shock orbs and 200% boost in normal damage....
I fucking loved this gun, even if it sucked ass.
Now I love it more.
E tech sniper rifles
I think you miss the point of this weapon, it's useful to cc enemy in an area
I was about to go to bed, m9! T_T
Try it with gaige it is 100% with the CP a top 3 weapon for gaige but with zero it’s just OK
Well, I don't play Gaige lol
I'd say with this patch the storm becomes one of the best Pearls. But that's not saying much considering the Butcher is by far the best still.
this gun is so much better in borderlands 3
Do the Bearcat!
21:20 lol :D
Hello guys man that will never loose his virginity here, today we’re gonna see if my opinion is actually good or if it doesn’t matter, turns out it isn’t worth a damn
its very good weapon on maya
Why was the first thing I thought seeing this was storm . 0
It has the skin of that one shitty SMG that drops in South Paw
But is that smg still shitty though?
The Pope hmmm... I guess we have to find out. (Glares at Fiber)
Your in a good mood today what’s up???🙂
well come back its been to long
U should use the Slagga instead of Pimpernel for slagging
Or a low level Slag Norfleet
Austin Scalese Pretty sure the slag pimp has one of the highest slag chances in the game, not to mention he is playing sniper Zer0, so an actual sniper would suit him better than an smg.
I know but i only think this because the pimp is just doing a lot of damage to some of the enemies so itd be better to use something that wouldnt deal as much damage to the enemies
Switching to a non sniper ruins CA.
