I would say Twin is the best prefix, because it doubles the amount of rounds per burst, but that's just me. Whichever you prefer, they're both good

alright thanks!

was leaning towards neutralizing due to twin's low accuracy but i figured i wont be sniping with the hornet anyways

If you are farming Knuckle Dragger with a new character I like the Close Quarters prefix. Having a bladed weapon is handy when you are doing the Bad Hair Day mission.

For general use, the Twin prefix works very well. Neutralizing is just the prefix for no special attachments on a corrosive Dahl weapon.

well this is a new character, but i already did that quest.

im actually level 11 rn, but my level 1 floated hornet is still both stripping the shields and taking down a nomad's health to half with one burst. i figured it was time for a *minor* level 2 upgrade with a new prefix.

At level 11 the hornet might not be worth your time, you could always go for the Unkempt Harold dropped by Savage Lee

thanks for the tip!
should i go for a double penetrating one or some other prefix?

oh and btw, when will the bosses' drops scale to my level? is it a level thing or does it scale during tvhm?

Different prefixes do different things and there's rarely any generally "best" prefix. There are always trade-offs. Maybe these charts can help http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Weapons_by_prefix_(Borderlands_2_%26_Pre-Sequel)

Everything starts scaling to your level at lvl 50 UVHM.
