Just gonna point out that you called that they were gonna drop a dlc a couple months before the release of B3. I mean, I know you were just wishing, but still counts, imo!
Thanks for coming back, I really missed your vids. I always wondered how you'd work with the community patch and I'm excited that this is the way you're doing it. Also, I know this isn't the first new vid but I just needed to chime in my thanks and let you know it's appreciated. Welcome back.
I hate it when the psychos utilize those advanced wavedashing techniques on me. I have a feeling that it won't be long until they learn to L-cancel, too.
As a Gaige player, the community patch has turned the Volcano (along with the hellfire and infection) into top tier mobbing weapons. With a class mod boosting Evil Enchantress and being spec'd into Make it Sparkle (which now gives +30% DoT chance and damage) you can very easily just shoot at the feet of slagged enemies with 1 or 2 shots and the DoT will kill them at OP8.
I really liked the way the UCP 1.0 buffed this more than what it currently is like in 4.0. The first version had much higher splash damage and a tiny increase to the radius, whereas in version 2.0 and onward it has the large radius and higher DOT. It worked so well with my Axton build that I copied the original Volcano buff into patch 4.0.17. I would suggest taking a look at that version of the volcano as well for additional comparison. Personally, this is one of my favorite snipers in the game. Edit: I forgot I had to remake my patch after reinstalling windows a week or two ago so I don't think that the original volcano buff is still in there. :(
He only gains 132% grenade damage with a perfect OP8 com. Rest of the buffs such as elemental relics are available to every other characters as well. Increasing grenade count does absolutely nothing for splash guns. It is bad. Stick to actual grenades if you're playing with Axton.
I do wish we had a Maliwan corrosive unique sniper of some kind. I need something in my life to go with my slag Pimp, Storm, Volcano loadout. May be a custom mod out there.
Youd be much better off using all pimps and counting on b0re to wreck enemies, but yeah, your loadout sounds fucking awesome. Maybe the guns special effect could to cause each critical hit to explode and drench the floor in acid like pestilent slatkers do, causing DoT to all enemies tgat walk over it.
I know a lot of people (myself included) like having the damage numbers but if it gets that much there is a setting to disable damage numbers altogether.
Maliwan Mamba - that should be the name for the legendary corrosive sniper. It would be named after the african snake, the black mamba, which is known for it's poison.
Man when he mentioned the volcano's special effect I was expecting something else besides 1 foot bigger splash radius, kinda disappointing but the patch made it better. I would have liked if the patch made some of the unique weapons have a high enough DOT to mitigate the health regen of enemies at OP8. Also need a patch that stops Gaige from screaming every time she dips her toe in acid.
Oi Luke, do you plan on reviewing any modded weapons? Example: the Ranger (modded Invader that's actually really good, from what I've done with it on Zer0 and Maya) or the Skewer (modded Buffalo with +150% crit and melee damage, built specifically for a sniping/melee Zer0 split)
If I could mod, I would try (keyword "try) to make a Corrosive Skullmasher-type Maliwan sniper, dubbed "The Acid Rain". Mainly cause now that you've pointed it out, the lack of a Unique Slag/Corrosive sniper bothers me.
Markus Wiedner yeah but he also states he doesn't like the lack of a corrosive/slag sniper key words are corrosive and slag. This gives relevance to the person you replied to. And he wants both a unique corrosive sniper and slag sniper but only has an idea about a corrosive one which he explains. This gives the illusion to you that he only wants a corrosive sniper
There's a mod that replaces the Pimp that's called the Acid Rain. On hit it shoots a little ball up into the air which after a time, spawns a large amount of bullets from the top down, raining about 60 bullets in multiple circles down over the course of a few seconds. Super OP with the bee and fairly laggy if you spam it, but it's really cool otherwise.
You mention the antagonist being one of the best but blocks your weapons shots from time to time which I honestly didn't know. What other shields are up there with the antagonist or are above it if you're running through the game?
On an unrelated note, what is the best way to take down badass surveyors in digistruct peak as sniper zero? I just lost a run at the very end because 3 badass surveyors spawned at the same time.
Slag Pimpernel + Shock/Corrosive Pimpernel. Best way to kill them is to force them to repair so they can stay still, thus making it easy to kill them with the Pimpernel.
The Friendliest Penguin From Antartica which is what I do when I'm facing 1 of them, 3 of them spawned at the same time for me -_- Also in the last area in the peak all the enemies are badasses so wounding an enemy on time isn't always an option.
TheDuskpaladin Try to use the terrain to make them fly at you from a single direction, Also a corrosive pitchfork is incredible against the badass surveyors
I imagine a subsequence maya with converge, or a grenade axton or Kireg with the quasar could make this thing an absolute monster. On zer0, it seems good, and arguably more straightforward and consistent than the pimp, but just doesn't have the same potential to shine. Though I suppose if he used a quasar or singularity, deception's damage boost to the splash damage would be quite potent as well, if you can give up the healing from your nade.
IICR the reason DOTs were so potent in Borderlands 1 was because you could apply multiple same element DOTs at once. So you could have I believe up to 4 fire/shock/corrosive DOTs going at once, each doing a ton of damage per tick. In Borderlands 2, you only get one DOT of an element at once. If any of that is wrong and someone more knowledgeable wants to correct me, go for it.
You can stack elements up to 6 times per element in BL2, though Slag is one and done. It's infinite in BL1 afaik, it was OP because it was based on max HP, which is why stuff like Craw was immune to them, you can see the effect with Lilith's Radiance skill against the Rakk Hive really well. I don't understand where people got the whole "DoT doesn't stack in BL2" thing from, when you can check it in 3 seconds.
I never understood why they gave legendaries all these penalties. They're supposed to be superior to every other rarity, but yet most of them get outclassed by their more common counterparts...
This may be a dumb question but does community patch mean it's a regular Patch, like from Gearbox themselves, or is it like a mod for PC to re-balance different stuff from the game? I'm not familiar with that, sorry once again!
With respect to your comment on 15:40, a mod by LightChaosman displaying no damage numbers does exit. github.com/BLCM/BLCMods/blob/master/Borderlands%202%20mods/LightChaosman/NoDamageNumbers.txt I also recommend this volcano reskin by IK4MS. He changes the barrel aesthetic to dahl, but that can be disabled. github.com/BLCM/BLCMods/blob/master/Borderlands%202%20mods/IK4MS/VolcanoReskin.txt A way to bypass nomad shields is to use an etech sniper. The projectile can pass through nomad torturer and taskmasters but not ultimate badass variants. I found that a transfusion grenade prior to attacking BA nomads will cause them to stutter allowing free critical hits or throw a deception right next to them to force their A.I to melee gives ample opportunity to kill them.
Wish I had a decent slag grenade. If I was on pc I would’ve gibbed it but I’m on ps4. It’s like a skill in itself, like a healing version of mayas slag ball
Joseph Samsor I've found quite a few slag transfusions from the train. It's a total bitch though when you finally get a 0 fuse one and it's fucking RUBBERIZED lol
Jon Presley I’ve had that happen so much. The best I got was a lvl 63 with a 1 second fuse. I might try doing that though. I think there’s a way you can farm it though without having to kill the snowman each time, but that might also be a pc only thing. I think you don’t turn in the quest and you can do it. Not sure. Either way I have an op8 Salvador. I’ll just rocket jump farm it
Jon Presley oh well with Salvador you can rocket jump really well. You can with other characters too, but with Salvador it’s insane. You get two low level badabooms and a sham shield. You can shoot the ground at your feet and you can rocket jump. Way better when you double shot, but you can also use the grog nozzle drunk effect and the double grenade ability to get to insane spots and move around really quickly. Also you regen rockets as you shoot with the sham. It’s pretty cool. I’m currently trying to beat the peak with zero though, mostly melee.
The absurd and outright broken hp regen ruins many of the slightly lower damage but "higher" status damage weapons. Gearbox design shooting itself in the foot once more. *#PRAYFORBL3*
Considering you can clear OP8 Digi-Peak (which is basically harder than everything else in the game combined) without using unique snipers, that is completely true.
"They should add another DLC"
*3 months before BL3 DLC Drops*
NEW DLC
Dude seriously, would have been fucking insane if they'd added a Corrosive Maliwan sniper too
We got volcanos blowing up here on Earth on Hawaii! Can we patch that first!?
Why? It's like the best mobbing weapon right now
Ya wanna buff them? Sounds fun!
The Pope the day we think about saving the rest of hawii is the day we stop a quarter of the priest touch little Timmy
The area of effect of the volcano is absolutely stupid, way too large
Mod said the server is too packed
Man, you gotta run some E-Tech snipers now they they removed the crit penalty and double ammo cost.
PING!
TheTundraTerror I agree, would definitely like to see some e techs
E-tech vladof sniper is able to pass goliath's helmet and instant headshot him.
elire 01 some e tech snipers can "bore" enemies
@@asstoes no
Just gonna point out that you called that they were gonna drop a dlc a couple months before the release of B3. I mean, I know you were just wishing, but still counts, imo!
The Summit1g in Borderlands 2, FeelsGoodMan
1gram lol
3:29 I like that they added the fire effect. That makes it act more like the BL1 Volcano.
Thanks for coming back, I really missed your vids. I always wondered how you'd work with the community patch and I'm excited that this is the way you're doing it. Also, I know this isn't the first new vid but I just needed to chime in my thanks and let you know it's appreciated. Welcome back.
You gotta try the Bearcat. Its extremely potent now, near to the point to where its overpowered.
I hate it when the psychos utilize those advanced wavedashing techniques on me. I have a feeling that it won't be long until they learn to L-cancel, too.
In Borderlands 3 they will Dash Dance
As a Gaige player, the community patch has turned the Volcano (along with the hellfire and infection) into top tier mobbing weapons. With a class mod boosting Evil Enchantress and being spec'd into Make it Sparkle (which now gives +30% DoT chance and damage) you can very easily just shoot at the feet of slagged enemies with 1 or 2 shots and the DoT will kill them at OP8.
Hahah loved the wavedashing melee comment
I really liked the way the UCP 1.0 buffed this more than what it currently is like in 4.0. The first version had much higher splash damage and a tiny increase to the radius, whereas in version 2.0 and onward it has the large radius and higher DOT.

Personally, this is one of my favorite snipers in the game. Edit: I forgot I had to remake my patch after reinstalling windows a week or two ago so I don't think that the original volcano buff is still in there. :(
Imagine if a community patch gave the Pimp a Maliwan barrel.
The Volcano is one of my favorite snipers
Remember back in bl1 when the most commen legendary weapon’s you would find would be the volcano and equalizer
This gun looks crazy fun to use, especially cause of the splash damage.
One of my favorite fire snipers
You might want to try this out with Axton
Axton's minor grenade bonuses won't make anywhere near as good as it is on Zer0.
Definitely won't be as good as CA on a streak but Axton's grenade damage definitely isn't minor.
"Minor grenade bonuses" lol
He only gains 132% grenade damage with a perfect OP8 com. Rest of the buffs such as elemental relics are available to every other characters as well. Increasing grenade count does absolutely nothing for splash guns. It is bad. Stick to actual grenades if you're playing with Axton.
Grenade damage for splash is multiplicative as far as i know in which case 132% is absolutely huge.
you forgot that the volcano get bonuses from grenade damage
does it really?
JPL White Devil yeah it's axtons best sniper option, also works pretty nice on a hellborn/grenade krieg
Enoel Gutierrez That's why it's so good on Axton
I do wish we had a Maliwan corrosive unique sniper of some kind. I need something in my life to go with my slag Pimp, Storm, Volcano loadout.
May be a custom mod out there.
should be named like idk Medusa or Fang
L0ST S0UL Acid Rain?
Youd be much better off using all pimps and counting on b0re to wreck enemies, but yeah, your loadout sounds fucking awesome. Maybe the guns special effect could to cause each critical hit to explode and drench the floor in acid like pestilent slatkers do, causing DoT to all enemies tgat walk over it.
Stephen Reaves I know full Pimping would be better, but sometimes I play for fun, not using all the best items in the game.
Turn off sanity check and create a corrosive volcano 👍 makes no sense but why not
I'm gonna like this video soon as this critical ascension stack goes away. Lololol
This might have convinced me to get the Community Patch, jesus that huge fire cloud is a nice throwback to the first Borderlands
I know a lot of people (myself included) like having the damage numbers but if it gets that much there is a setting to disable damage numbers altogether.
XxThundaxX it wasnt the numbers that were blocking his view, it was the large explosion from the volcano itself
Yeah, you're right, but i do i think he mentioned something about a mod to make the DoT numbers a little chill at one point
oh my god he really reference Summit lmao good one
Maliwan Mamba - that should be the name for the legendary corrosive sniper. It would be named after the african snake, the black mamba, which is known for it's poison.
Man when he mentioned the volcano's special effect I was expecting something else besides 1 foot bigger splash radius, kinda disappointing but the patch made it better.
I would have liked if the patch made some of the unique weapons have a high enough DOT to mitigate the health regen of enemies at OP8.
Also need a patch that stops Gaige from screaming every time she dips her toe in acid.
I would imagine this gun to be superb on Axton considering he can boost the splash damage of the gun.
Jesus Narvaez I wouldnt even recommend it without the community patch, the lyuda or a generic droog is much more potent is better on him
TheStargov gernade damage buffs the volcano
aylamaiia I know, but that doesn't mean its good on Axton. It needs more damage.
TheStargov and I disagree
Literally the first time I've seen him go into FFYL when mobbing, wow
It's happened on numerous occasions, though yeah it's pretty rare.
Oi Luke, do you plan on reviewing any modded weapons? Example: the Ranger (modded Invader that's actually really good, from what I've done with it on Zer0 and Maya) or the Skewer (modded Buffalo with +150% crit and melee damage, built specifically for a sniping/melee Zer0 split)
No that sniper rifle is axton best sniper because can boost it's damage via grenade damage bonus from skills and class mod.
could you make a does it suck on the singing bird? ( I doubt it sucks but would be cool to see)
If I could mod, I would try (keyword "try) to make a Corrosive Skullmasher-type Maliwan sniper, dubbed "The Acid Rain". Mainly cause now that you've pointed it out, the lack of a Unique Slag/Corrosive sniper bothers me.
kukuc96 he wants a corrosive, not slag. Also you don't always need the best weapon for a fun build
Markus Wiedner yeah but he also states he doesn't like the lack of a corrosive/slag sniper key words are corrosive and slag. This gives relevance to the person you replied to. And he wants both a unique corrosive sniper and slag sniper but only has an idea about a corrosive one which he explains. This gives the illusion to you that he only wants a corrosive sniper

Super OP with the bee and fairly laggy if you spam it, but it's really cool otherwise.
A corrosive snider that would leave an acid cloud in it's wake. Bam.
You mention the antagonist being one of the best but blocks your weapons shots from time to time which I honestly didn't know. What other shields are up there with the antagonist or are above it if you're running through the game?
When was this patch release? I updated mine a few months back and didnt notice a newer one.
Obviously a lot better but still won't be replacing the pimpernel. Might be ok on axton though.
Is there an enemy for farming Morningstar?
On an unrelated note, what is the best way to take down badass surveyors in digistruct peak as sniper zero?
I just lost a run at the very end because 3 badass surveyors spawned at the same time.
Slag Pimpernel + Shock/Corrosive Pimpernel.
Best way to kill them is to force them to repair so they can stay still, thus making it easy to kill them with the Pimpernel.
The Friendliest Penguin From Antartica which is what I do when I'm facing 1 of them, 3 of them spawned at the same time for me -_-
Also in the last area in the peak all the enemies are badasses so wounding an enemy on time isn't always an option.
TheDuskpaladin Try to use the terrain to make them fly at you from a single direction, Also a corrosive pitchfork is incredible against the badass surveyors
Singularity>slag slowhand>volcano🔥I’m having too much fun. It’s a fun combination with Kreig when I get the drop on enemies.
Can you test the Infection?
I imagine a subsequence maya with converge, or a grenade axton or Kireg with the quasar could make this thing an absolute monster. On zer0, it seems good, and arguably more straightforward and consistent than the pimp, but just doesn't have the same potential to shine. Though I suppose if he used a quasar or singularity, deception's damage boost to the splash damage would be quite potent as well, if you can give up the healing from your nade.
I found a level 19 volcano in a crate in WEP above loot room.
I think maybe Krieg would find some use with this weapon as well. But I've never played a hell born Krieg so idk
I somehow have a level 13 volcano idk who i got it from but I know its def a world drop if it usually drops from warrior
IICR the reason DOTs were so potent in Borderlands 1 was because you could apply multiple same element DOTs at once. So you could have I believe up to 4 fire/shock/corrosive DOTs going at once, each doing a ton of damage per tick. In Borderlands 2, you only get one DOT of an element at once.

I don't understand where people got the whole "DoT doesn't stack in BL2" thing from, when you can check it in 3 seconds.
Oh ok. Thank you for clearing up some of my false statements.
9:38 idk why but this made me laugh out loud.
I never understood why they gave legendaries all these penalties. They're supposed to be superior to every other rarity, but yet most of them get outclassed by their more common counterparts...
This may be a dumb question but does community patch mean it's a regular Patch, like from Gearbox themselves, or is it like a mod for PC to re-balance different stuff from the game?
I'm not familiar with that, sorry once again!
Miron Schäfer the ucp (unofficial community patch) is a non official mod
Ewro the.godless thank you!
Flames 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If a flesh enemy has 1 shield left and you shoot him with a fire weapon, will all the damage you deal with the next shot be resisted?
I never realized the volcano had splash damage, but then i never really used it
With respect to your comment on 15:40, a mod by LightChaosman displaying no damage numbers does exit.

For characters that boost splash damage such as Axton or Krieg would you say the Volcano is a better option?
Yup
Well... The Volcano was more of an Axton weapon for the most part and it's also kinda decent on Hellborn Krieg.
Hot damn 16:36 was absolutely beautiful
referencing Olof's defuse siiiiick!
who is Enihu? and why do you say pienq instead of pink
This was the first legendary i had ever gotten.
What time are you posting the hide of terramorphus
No idea. Haven't farmed it yet.
12:08 Nice summit1g reference
The 1g legacy lives on.

Jon Presley oh well with Salvador you can rocket jump really well. You can with other characters too, but with Salvador it’s insane. You get two low level badabooms and a sham shield. You can shoot the ground at your feet and you can rocket jump.

Joseph Samsor farm the Ultimate wizards in Tina dlc, try to go for the purple magic missile
17:20 you predicted right the dlc
You should have tested the volcano on axton with grenadier class mod and explosive build, volcano would have been so much better.
LUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'VE MISSED YOU
Looks cool. But ima stick with the Longbow as my fire sniper
Hey Fiber do patched Hellfire
I just like using the gentlemens volcano for the critical hit.. idk why
that bandit was dashdancing:p
i still dont like the volcano on zero, its more usefull with axtonbut axton already has better options (?)
9:33 fox main spotted
The famous cs:go player that walked through the fire was summit1g lulz
I wish the would have updated the console version of this stuff oh 3 is almost out
Such a fun sniper on maya. Phaselock, bring people together, boom!😂
The absurd and outright broken hp regen ruins many of the slightly lower damage but "higher" status damage weapons. Gearbox design shooting itself in the foot once more. *#PRAYFORBL3*
This didn't age well with mayhem 2.0 being a thing.
First? And also if you ever started streaming that'd be great; I'd sub. Love ya, you're doing great
Was there an update in 2018?
18:38 Yes it does.
Should've known molmf was a melee fan
Sniper are really hard to us w
i beg to differ
You can finish the entire game using only pimpernels, so idk about that.
you can finish the whole game with out even using unique snipers
Considering you can clear OP8 Digi-Peak (which is basically harder than everything else in the game combined) without using unique snipers, that is completely true.
For me every legendary is good almost every
Wow have you ever died in Borderlands before?
