Is the Slagga the best or what

[zenhog]

I can't belive I played this game until half way through UVHM before discovering the Slagga. Holy cow what a gun. Is there anything else I should know about?

[dARE]

uh huh. Slagga da best; and so are these:
get yourself a Little Evie, a Heartbreaker, some Magic Missles, a Hornet, and an Evolution shield, and all your BL2 troubles will be more fun

[zenhog]

ok I will. whee do I get these guns you mention?

[NewTroll]

3 best slagging weapons in the game:
1. Magic Missle grenade mod (especially close range)
2. Slagga (close to mid-range)
3. Slag Pimpernel (the further, the more desirable)

little evie is a very rare drop in scarlett dlc on way to magnus lighthouse dropped by lil sis who only spawns rarely anyway, heartbreaker is reward from moxxi after doing safe and sound mission for marcus, evolution is dropped by hyperius, magic missile dropped by wizards in murdelins temple round 3 usually but can be dropped elsewhere, hornet dropped by knuckledragger and loot midgets

I think you can also buy the evolution shield from seraph vendors,you need to kill seraph bosses to obtain the crystals to buy the shield with.

Florentine is my favorite for slagging.

I finally stopped using the Slagga simply because I didn't need it anymore, but it is one hell of a paint brush. A slag Pimpernel is a magical weapon, I highly recommend it. The Florentine is also a nifty tool but the Chulain (Clan War) will do the job if seraph crystals are out of your reach.

The Magic Missile nade mod is a must in any pack and it regenerates. Take on Murderlin's five rounds and you're sure to get it plus all the other magic nade mods.

oh, sorry for leaving that out. rresuggan covered it pretty well (Thank you for that). You can buy the Evolution and Antagonist shields (they are the cadillac shields in this game AFAIC) from Seraph vendor in Tiny Tina DLC. Easiest way to get crystals is to kill Pyro Pete or Hyperius many many times.

Florentine sounds like a great gun! The Chulainn leaves you slagged all the time which is pretty big disincentive.

I think my single most favorite weapon might be the magic missiles. It's almost always equiqqed for its regenerative powers and its also my pick for a quick grenade that can help in just about all circumstances. I throw those things alot since they're free. With other weapon types i cycle thru guns that i like to use, but with grenades, i just leave it parked on magic missiles unless there's some circumstance that calls for a special grenade cocktail. After throwing the cocktail (magic missile + homing storm front + homing fire burst for example), i put it back to magic missiles to regen. [i've been taking down the witch doctors in hammerlocks dlc with grenade cocktails].

I definitely use magic missiles way more than slaggas, i'm not playing uvhm though, might be different if i was?

Not really. The grog nozzle is a healing weapon, the fact that it slags is not so important. Most of the times i use the grog to heal, i'm not even using it to do the damage that will come back as healing. The grog is equiped and either phaselock or grenades (magic missiles) are out.

60+% to slag. chance to shoot 3 at a time. its the best slagging weapon

What about the Snider? It could have a higher chance and bigger magazine.

Also, what of the Bouncing Bonny (and Crossfire) and Nasty Surprise? (Each of these being a variant containing slag, of course)

Pimpernel - 65% chance to slag, always shoots 6 at a time, larger mag, insane damage, higher projectile velocity.

Sorry, but nope. GN ain't even close.

Practicable Slow Hand is also better, 72% slag chance x 3, large splash, crazy damage. Awesome shotty, a bit ammo hungry, but this can be worked around using absorption shields, since it regens its own ammo supply.
