Without the community patch, E-Tech Snipers are pretty much garbage. They hit for less on headshots than regular snipers and consume twice as much ammo.
The patch removes their critical hit penalty and also removes the double ammo consumption. These are now crazy powerful, and have a nice piercing ability that allows for easier kills of certain enemies like Witch Doctors.
I think I will definitely need to farm for some E-Tech rifles on my no gibbed save.
I am playing with the community patch which can be found here: mentalmars.com/game-news/bord...

@staticascension2687 6 лет назад

Man of Low Moral Fiber how does velocity have a negative effect on some snipers?

@matthewhull8282 6 лет назад

Man of Low Moral Fiber will you test the other e-tech weapons, seeing how gigantic the snipers got buffed, I'm waiting to see how the rifles shotguns and pistols fare?

@michaelmeissner7545 6 лет назад

Static Juice, it's good for non-red text snipers, but anything with bullet split suffers, since it greatly increases how far away bullet split occurs (which is based on bullet travel time, not distance). It means you have a much longer sweet-spot distance with the Lyuda, you don't get as much damage out of the Godfinger, you can't sweet-spot most enemies with the Pimpernel, and it may negatively affect some others, don't know them all off the top of my head.

Thank you Michael Meissner

Just not e-tech snipers

@checkp0int885 6 лет назад

It cracks me up how most of the people who cover the community patch seemingly refuse to give up their grog-Harold Salvador builds and proceed to complain about how the community patch doesn't change anything.

@A-G-F- 6 лет назад

can you give me an example? i want to laugh a bit

@its_juhjorge9733 6 лет назад

Some Guy on RU-vid Did they nerf it? Cause if they did im glad they made a higher skill ceiling for Sal.

@andres.5204 Год назад

i mean either way you aren't playing the game as intended

@squidinator5708 6 лет назад

The Dahl railer is so goood. They also can penetrate nomad shields

@Derchlands 6 лет назад

The snowman is always a decent way to farm them, and I know it sounds dumb but the golden chest pumps out etechs

@TheTundraTerror 6 лет назад

As someone who farms snowman between OP levels on my legit saves, I can confirm this.

@ManofLowMoralFiber 6 лет назад

I guess the Digistruct Peak quest does two ETechs now. And that's a hella short walk to Tannis, so that's my for the moment.

@Derchlands 6 лет назад

Yeah thats a better idea, a smaller pool. Good parts are going to be a bitch but less of one

@emilio.7416 6 лет назад

Derchlands torgue dlc's vault drops alot of etech after you beat piston

Got mine from Crawmerax's chests, they're good chests and people seems to forget poor Craw, he just wants to be a badass pinata like his dad.

Farm the snowman. E-techs from the chests all the time

@thomaskok5773 5 лет назад

strange...i farming for 3 days for at least 4 hours..i didt get any of it

@harsharya08 6 лет назад

Good to see you uploading again. On a side note, holy guacamole the vladof e-tech rifle is broken for destroying large enemies such as constructors because the recoil is negated by the easy to hit large enemies.

@Mrnevertalks 6 лет назад

The Moloko on Gaige is pretty fun to mess around with. If you have a shock build, The Bouncing bullets combined with the ridiculous fire rate and the nth degree can make for some pretty ridiculous bullet bouncing shenanigans.

@mrxeku12 6 лет назад

"this time i'll use the vladof on-OH GOD"

@ChristheFlakkerGod 6 лет назад

This makes me happy to see. No one bother me for the next 20 minutes, or there will be consequences.

@Derchlands 6 лет назад

this was 43 mins ago, can I bother you now?

@ChristheFlakkerGod 6 лет назад

Yes, I am ready. xD

@Beanu1968 6 лет назад

Chris the Flakker God [ALERT] 99:99

@matthewhull8282 6 лет назад

It's nice to see e-techs other than non Bandit plasma casters, Longbows or launchers being viable now. If e-tech returns in BL3, I hope they take influence from the patch, we don't want a repeat of a certain Dahl pistol, and a certain Bandit rifle.

@finraziel 6 лет назад

Found a couple of these while leveling my reborn Maya, absolutely love them. Only disadvantage is I'm not finding enough of them :-P I do believe they also shoot through the physical shield that some of the bandits carry... If I'm not totally misremembering, I managed to crit them right through the shield which was awesome.

@JustSnowglow 6 лет назад

Ayy, I've been looking forward to this.

@nicholaspolen3418 6 лет назад

Okay last time i'll ask because I don't want to spam like a child. Please check out the Bearcat. Got a very significant buff and is very entertaining to watch. Great video as always.

@44WarmocK77 6 лет назад

Now imagine what a non-elemental Jakobs E-Tech would look like and how it would hit like a huge train stuffed with oversized cargo trucks on steroids ... :D

@cido676 5 лет назад

lmao

@TheKillerOfTheMonkey 6 лет назад

You could also walk up to the power loaders, get them to do the hit animation and dodge it, then shoot the arm while it isn't spinning but yeah, shooting through the blades is effective, I guess

@formerassassin 6 лет назад

Found one of those Moloko's the first time I played the game. I never used a Vladof sniper before. Hated the gun, especially the fire rate, and it turned me off to wanting a Vladof weapon after that. Worked only Jacobs snipers on Zer0 up to OP6. Thanks to your vids I have thankfully transcended that ignorance.

@n.ull. 6 лет назад

I absolutely adore the vladof etec's the pew pew sounds and the aesthetic is so cool to me

@emilio.7416 6 лет назад

Farm etech on torgue dlc, the community patch made the vault drop lots of etech weapons after you beat piston

@HuffsPaintAlot 6 лет назад

I feel these buffs make the E-Tech snipers a viable niche weapons for enemies with blocked critical spots (hyperion engineers, witch doctors, etc.). However, like Pete, it can't crit some enemies at all and this holds them back from being very good.

@raidersteeler73 6 лет назад

You should go over a sniper/melee Zer0 build again with the UCP if there's any notable changes!

@RauI.C 6 лет назад

Finally, it feel so good to see these guns working how they should, doesn't it?

@danielvalentino3675 6 лет назад

Luke, did the bekah get a boost at all? Can yiu do another video on that amazing weapon?

@vocabulary7681 6 лет назад

Luke, have you ever considered doing some content on Borderlands 1? I would definitely watch. Even though the gameplay is worse, I feel your commentary and input on the game would make it enjoyable.

@DanceTylerDance 6 лет назад

I love the Dahl railer, but it's a shame that the burst shoots too fast to stack properly with CA. Otherwise it would be my JAM.

@Sonicavrchat 6 лет назад

For my mechromancer I always use E-Tech weapons. For mechromancer and Commando it does a lot of damage to higher-level enemies

@johntrains1317 3 года назад

Would be cool if the ricochet had a chance to track and hit an enemy, so making bore more common, you could shoot the floor to activate bore too

@bigdaddyb2078 5 лет назад

In my opinion the best way to get the E-tech snipers is from the golden chest in Sanctuary because the E-tech rarity is technically purple and the golden chest only gives you purple

@EinhanderSn0m4n 6 лет назад

This is exactly why I installed the Community Patch to begin with.

@darkknight57691 6 лет назад

And hey, do the etech lasers pierce through the Antagonist homing slag balls? If so, that’d be dope.

@arvolder 6 лет назад

The pierce effect also don't knock goliath heads but crits instead. Plus because bore works by creating an other bullet with 2x dammage and they now pierce, it now duplicates the bullet with bore so you have an effective 300% dammage. But they seem to be harder to land crits on some ennemies like burners wich I used to test theses than some other rifles like sniders.

@lappy4531 6 лет назад

I have tried using e techs in the beatdown and concluded they cant crit burners. One thing especially weird I noticed is that burner enforcers (the dual wield charging enemies) lose their crit spot once their health is at a sliver. It's not just you.

@traxxgoingwild 6 лет назад

But knocking helmets is the best.

@jacobdobson1083 6 лет назад

Then would this make the longbow better since it is in the category of e-tech/legendary

@camk9242 6 лет назад

Does the maliwan railer get the same splash damage as a snider? If not, wouldn't the snider still be better even with the community patch?

@timothy8521 6 лет назад

could you make a video on the infection with the patch?

@josephpollak19 6 лет назад

i would love to see you test it on hyperius

@Sandeep2708 6 лет назад

does the maliwan etch still get splash dmg?

@ProperJudgment 6 лет назад

should i get the community patch before lvl 72? or just do it later, lemme know what you'd suggest. thx!

@otter4370 6 лет назад

What about the other E-Techs, like for SMGs and shotguns? Do they still consume 2 ammo?

@joshuamcelroy8245 6 лет назад

to avoid having to find the guns you are showing in the videos you can add a star next to it to make it easier to find if that helps or not i wouldn't know ^_^

@darthplagueis13 6 лет назад

I think the Snowmans chest is a pretty good place for E-Techs. You get like one or two each time

@saaaaaaaaalt838 6 лет назад

Hmm. Might go for an etec sniper zero build. I've always thought they looked cool and wanted to use them.

@TheTemplarKnight 6 лет назад

These things are savage now and to think i sold loads farming that Snowman.

@camk9242 6 лет назад

That new hyperion e-tech is sexy

@vuongkyvi 6 лет назад

Yay you really made the video

@GoopuLoopou 6 лет назад

so does that mean e-tech hyperion snipers will be the only viable hyperion snipers? Even with the invader patched it still seems like too much of an ammunition investment for above average damage output.

@eugene_833 6 лет назад

carrett 50cal I am quite ok with that :P Probably, cause i love 8.5 firerate on Moloko.

@Derchlands 6 лет назад

carrett 50cal all Hyperion snipers we're patched in the ucp

@squidinator5708 6 лет назад

carrett 50cal you sleeping on the longbow

@bushwack2742 6 лет назад

carrett 50cal nah try the Hyperion gimstine one with vladof barrel and Hyperion grip and the base damage prefix Really good.

@KorotasGeckoGamingCorner 6 лет назад

I think the Vladof E-Tech Snipers have some good DPS to them. They still eat through ammo, though.

@matthewhull8282 6 лет назад

Imagine for a second, Gemstone E techs, yep, that'd hurt being shot by a Diamond Hybridification.

@matthewhull8282 6 лет назад

ReaperOfTheNorthLegion basically double the fun, like a Hammer Beka, Hammer Buster damage plus Beka pellets, ouch.

@joeykeilholz925 5 лет назад

Of the many great changes the patch brings, this one I very strongly wish gearbox would patch the game with

@garrettsobotka1405 6 лет назад

Luke I have a question why does it seem like console enemies have way more health at op8 than pc enemies? I have played both pc and console and I have noticed a significant difference.

@jamiejackson8886 6 лет назад

Hey man used to be a big fan of your channel (still am I guess haha) but where'd you go for over a year, sorry if you've already said this in a previous video I can't seem to find it.

@justkalum5600 6 лет назад

Did this affect the longbow just wondering?

@crowzo5048 5 лет назад

Honestly having a 2 round per shot sniper rifle would really suck just do the fact that in my game play as a sniper I can rarely ever find the ammo and when I'm actually near an ammo dump one of Marcus's machines for anybody who doesn't play he charges me through the roof for it

@foxocreation1005 6 лет назад

Badassasaurus rex's vault drops nothing but etechs on the community patch so id restart and farm that

@samyt681 6 лет назад

Holy, they feels op

@lordmonochrome9735 6 лет назад

It was cool to notice B0re with them since you fire 1 shot and 2 projectiles would bounce off a wall

@ReatuKrentor 6 лет назад

borderline OP in borderlands, I don't see a problem with that.

@saulgoodman3258 6 лет назад

Sorry I’m not too deep in the borderlands community, is this an official patch or a community patch?

@matthewhull8282 5 лет назад

Gromky Moloko. Sounds like some sort of vodka mixed with milk and caffeine.

@rolay7730 6 лет назад

I have a slag vladof E-teck sniper for my krieg, the fire rate and clip is psychotic.

@bushwack2742 6 лет назад

The vladof one damage the lyuda even with ce (without it's special effect of course).

@NotPork 6 лет назад

Maliwan isn't inferior to Hyperion cause you're forgetting that splash damage gets added on top

@abnergracemaker33 6 лет назад

Fiber you can find e tech snipers in the golden chest

@noelvermillion4006 5 лет назад

Its too bad they don't have the community patch for console I would love to use etech game especially sniper rifle. I'm a huge sniper fan and would love to use it plus it kinda look like a tracer round which can help me because I'm a terrible sniper.

@sephen2457 6 лет назад

Molokos with Sal are crazy, even before the patch, and after they're just on another level.

@giantmagicalduck3604 6 лет назад

What is Sal?

@amaterasu4768 6 лет назад

Giant Magical Duck Salvador, the gunzerker

@giantmagicalduck3604 6 лет назад

Who is this guy? That nickname of his sounds kinda stupid.

@giantmagicalduck3604 6 лет назад

Is he some sort of an unlockable character? Cuz my selection screen shows me only Axton the Commando, Maya the Siren and four Zer0s, for some reason.

@lonestar_iconoclast 6 лет назад

I can only imagine how the patched Railers/Molokos/Hybridizations deal with Zer0s B0re skill. With penetrating beams already, would a B0re shot from an E-Tech sniper be an order of magnitude greater than a more traditional B0re shot from something like a Pimpernel, a Lyuda, a Skullmasher? Can't wait to find out!

@tonyegg2.073 Год назад

Remove your Hyperion e tech snipers scope on gibbed save editor and get a better version of the longbow with a straight fast moving projectile, I use it to create corrosive and shock versions of the longbow essentially!!

@amaloney1027 6 лет назад

You should check out the mod that limits the Dahl snipers to 1 round per trigger pull and eliminates the burst fire for more control over your accuracy and ammo pool.
