Depends on the boss.

The two bosses in Arid Hills (Not mentioning names) can be very difficult if you're not careful, but then the very large boss in a certain safehouse is kind of weak.

One thing I wish they would show is Reload speed.

Ive found weapons that reload soo fast that its ammo capacity doesn't matter but you wouldn't know that unless you used it.

Thats why I always shoot each weapon I pick up atleast once, and reload.  I also might pick up atleast every weapon and fire it from now on, as I have been reading on the Gearbox forums that people have found ordinary white weapons with it saying nothing fancy, but the bullets spiral out of the gun. And Im not talking about the Helix Rocket Launchers. Smgs that shoot 2-5 bullets in a spiral. Thats fuckin awesome.

I went out and actually bought a copy of the game today. I'm not gonna open it, and I admit I pirated it beforehand, but by god I like it so much I just had to buy a copy. Even on my extremely limited budget, I feel it was worth it.

Unfortunately the game is full of useless weapons like these.

It sounds good on paper... but when you miss because the bullet stears around an enemy's head... you know you need to throw it away.

Couldn't you use it to hit people behind cover?

Actually, it's really useful to just run up and unload on people's faces, just because it fires so rapidly. Also, in closes spaces, just spraying and praying is surprisingly effective. I used it to take down level 45 Sledge.

I jhave a 5 round burst rocketlauncher with some crazy ballistics, sometimes they fly straight for a while, make a turn and continue flying straight, sometimes they do a twist at the start and explode at my feet and sometimes they fly in circles. The damage was reasonable so i held onto it until i could use it. I unloaded it at skagzilla's face from about 15 ft when he did that laser thingie and every single one of them missed, one of the flew back around and hit his ass.

Also, a shotgun with 110 or so damage, only 2 pellets, a 2 round magazine that takes about 3 seconds to reload and a 0.7 RoF. At lvl 17 that's decent damage but still, accuracy please? It's also the first shotgun with negative amount of pellets modifier.

On the other hand, a sniper with 4x explosion which causes it to hit for a good 6 times it's normal damage and a fairly large splash range. It can take out several bandits behind cover when one of them is hit and can kill a concentrated rakk swarm in two hits. Goes well with my 4x46x41(volley size,damage,magazine) at 8.1RPS. Single(quad round burst?) shot it's deadly accurate, after that the recoil fucks you up and you can't hit a badass bruiser at an arms length. Sheer volume of fire kill less bandits tho even if 90% misses.

You lucking fucking bastard!

For anyone that doesnt know, it splits rockets in flight if it doesnt hit anything. IE 1 shot, then if it travels x distance and doesnt hit something, splits to 2 then 4,8,16,32,64 etc... till it hits something!

EDIT:
Here are a few of my oranges. >: D

Regenerates my revolver ammo



Shoots the pellets in the shape of a cross. O_O



EVERY SHOT ignites to do 4x damage and dot. This thing is a wholesale RAPE machine


Also, since the descriptions only can have 4 lines of text, that gun also has increased reload speed. I am 100% certain on that.

If I get it right, then each type of weapon has a given reload time. Then there are modifiers +- reload rate in percents.

Yes, but that gun has an INSANELY fast reload rate.
