Highets damage a level 16 love thumper can do

[Man I Miss Fauna]

Whats the highest damage a level 16 love thumper can do? I finished the mission at level 19 but for some reason the love thumper can only be lvl 16 so Im trying to get the most out of it

When you accepted the mission is what sets the level of the mission reward, not when you finish it.

No idea what the damage output is. Try it on various enemies and see how it goes I guess.

I mean, most keep records of level caps (50, 61, 72, 80, OP10) rather than random levels.

If you want the highest value just look for one with all Maliwan parts. Here's a parts guide:

Just be wary of getting a Pangolin battery as it is identical to a Maliwan battery in appearance. The Torgue capacitor appearing identical isn't an issue as it will show up as explosive resistant on the item's card, whereas Maliwan will always be fire, shock or corrosive immune.

are the parts more important than the stats? I just got a double maliwan thumper but the roid damage is only 200

In normal mode, most maps have levels that are set when you first enter them. I suspect that is what is in play here. You first enter the Highlands after the whole Sanctuary goes flying stage.

There are maps like The Dust that do scale depending on the story missions, but in general they are fixed to the level you first entered them.

That question makes no sense. The parts determine the stats, stats aren't just randomly generated, there is a formula that relies on the level of the item and the parts it has.
