Fibber prefixes

[cp]

So i've been farming for redundant fibber for 5-6 hours and then realized that it was patched long ago. So im curious which prefix is the best atm (Im playing Gaige.)

Not patched as far as I know, I have seen one recently.
It is not so much the prefix as the barrel type that is important. There are three kinds, only one of which produces the bullet that ricochets and splits into 9 and causes huge damage, especially with the Bee.
The redundant prefix is the same as x2 - uses 2 bullets per shot, and with the right barrel that splits into 18 pellets. Twice the damage, but twice the ammo use.

The Fibber is my preferred weapon for Gaige. It doesn't really matter what the prefix is as long as you have the barrel that splits the bullet into 9. She uses a Base Fibber, Maximised Fibber, Win-Win Fibber, and other characters have an Asset Fibber etc. Different elements, all have the same barrel.

The redundant prefix with the barrel that ricochets is definitely the best one for Gaige. No need for The Bee shield to do amazing damage thanks to anarchy and close enough. Because it already ricochets, close enough does 100% damage instead of the usual 50%.

As z00t said, nothing about the Fibber has been "patched" (AFAIK). You may want Redundant, or not. If you're using it with a Bee, the vast majority of the damage will come from the Bee, which won't be multiplied by the extra projectiles you get from a Redundant, so you use 2 rounds per shot, and don't get that much more damage (since most of it comes from the Bee). If you're using it without a Bee, then the Redundant will basically double your damage per shot.

If you don't already know about the different barrels, etc.:
