Lob is so good on Fl4k!
Even being at level 27, I'm still using level 13 Lob. This gun is so so good on him and damage is extremely high for the level. It still kills enemies in seconds. Phew! I'm so happy with this!

Unlimited Anarchy is my choice for shotgun, the Iceburger is also excellent

Yes, Lob is a gun that I have noticed scales very well into higher levels. It's kind of a carry gun. Hellshock is another one I am using and also there is a COV launcher that works great on gunner with nearly infinite ammo.
Yeah man..I'm still missing on hellshock or a good launcher but for now, Lob is doing all the dirty work

Unlimited anarchy is not that good. Even with reload damage thing, it still under performs on M10 for some reason. Depends on build I guess!

The Lob performs well w any VH. Don't sell it, save & pass it on to your next VH.

with fl4k, the lob stays a great weapon, but I would experiment as there are a lot of other useful weapons too like the OPQ, the Krakatau, the Lyudia, the Hellshock, the Cutsman (only on bosses, but damn) and many more.

the lob actually will scale well too for the endgame, I'm using an ice element one against anoited enemies or when I need to splash damage everything with FL4K on Mayhem 10.

Lob is a fantastic gun for killing anything that approaches you. Not so great on bosses. I don't think it is character dependent, every character should be happy carrying a Lob.

Actually Lob is very strong for bosses, it is just superceded by the most OP options available since MH 2.0 update and Cartel event weapons like Yellow Cake for example.

Still whith the shotgun ammo pool available, Lob is a murdering machine that can let you kill anything in seconds, it is also a great option for second wind.

I use the guardian angel for second wind on amara it has saved me so many times, especially in very close battles where me and the enemy die at the same time lol

if you are using the f4de / critical build with fl4k, there are bosses where the lob melts through bosses and larger enemies and does better than the Cutsman or more reliable than the Monarch. That said, it has a limited range and a noticable delay on damage can work very well.

Currently I'm running crit build with an OPQ / Monarch (fire - electro - cold - none depending on the situation) / Yellowcake / cold Lob setup, with sometimes swapping the Yellowcake or the Lob against a Krakatoa or a Hellshock.

The Monarch is the powerhouse, but usually it requires to go up close (but shreds Killavolt in two-three mags on Mayhem10). The OPQ is against shields as it works even on immune enemies and for sniping. The Yellowcake and the Blob are to kill anointed maniacs where area-of-effect is critical, or just simply to make room in the crowd. Krakatoa and Hellshock are niche weapons, where hit-and-run tactics are needed, preferably from a distance. Read, 3 anoited maniacs doing a group meeting at Lectra city with the Tenderizer and Fish Slap

I also use the Lob to conserve ammo, it can be an issue when running OPQ.

use a cutpurse and a fishslap, no more ammo problems XD
