2 magzine size orphan takes moneyshot bouns for the gunzerker?
Hello
I have been farming for rustler's orphan today for my new gunzerker

Anyway when i shoot with it i hear the moneyshot sound effect but some people say that any gun that shoot once before reloading will not take the moneyshot effect

Is that true? If yes shall i farm for a 3 round magazine size instead of the rustler?

Thanks

Also Money Shot is one of Salvador's most broken skills, this is because it considers the magazine size of the gun on your right hand, and applies the damage buff to the gun in your left hand. So even if the 2 magazine size was an issue you would just make sure to use the orphan maker in your left hand and a weapon with a magazine size of 12 or higher in your right hand.

Truly a walking glitch (Salvador).

Sorry but I didn't understand

Why 12 round in my right hand? I truly don't understamd this skill at all

Because money shot is even more broken on the technical side of things, and sorry you must be really new I assumed too much. ;)

You see how it lists 80% damage per level? That 80% damage is a lie, the bonus you get is based on your magazine size. The actual value is 8% per bullet, so as previously discussed it doesn't count for 1 bullet guns, but for 2 bullet magazines that would be 16% damage, then for 3 bullet magazines that would be 24% damage, then for 4 bullet magazines that would be 32% damage, etc. So where does 80% fit in? 10 magazine = 80% damage per level. HOWEVER this number is even more of a lie. (This gets even more confusing) For whatever reason you get an extra 8% per bullet up to a magazine size of 12. Making the actual damage per level 96% and not 80%. So if you want the best DPS possible with money shot you need to use a gun that has a magazine size of 12 or higher.

This is unrelated to the skill, but is a general broken trait of Salvador (i.e. transferring gun stats), for whatever reason money shot's damage is calculated based on the gun in your right hand for BOTH guns. So as long as the gun in your right hand has a magazine size of 12 or more, and you have your main DPS gun in your left hand, the magazine size of the gun in your left hand with regards to money shot is irrelevant.

Is this confusing? Yup! Whose to blame? Gearbox! The same people who when questioned about Salvador's various broken aspects weren't sure if they were bugs or features!

Um another question

I shall never shoot with my right gun to get the mag bonus?

Like holding a 100 mag size with.my right hand makes me op?
Renfrew Oct 7, 2019 @ 8:51am 
You can shoot if you want to, doesn't matter what happens to the right hand gun (unlike the pimpernel - Ahab glitch) as long as the value of the magazine size of the right hand gun is 12 or higher, you will constantly be getting the full damage boost.

A magazine size of 100 won't matter, as I mentioned it only applies up to 12 magazine size, anything higher than that won't affect it.
