Just how good is the Unkempt Harold???

[Mister Torgue Flexington]

had came across this legendary pistol in a Hyperion city while completing some challenges with another player. So just exactly how good is this weapon?

If you're wondering, had killed a Constructor who had dropped it.

The best?

[Justuค็็็็็็็s[FIN]]

The second most damaging pistol in the game (Lady Fist has the highest dps among pistols. Go ask Bahroo if you don't believe me).

Double Pentrating Unkempt Harold is the best one. This weapon is best with Salvador.

Insane. (well, the DP one, as mentioned above) The damage output is just insane if all the projectiles hit the same enemy, and it's brilliant for crowd control. Takes a bit of getting used to, but it's worth it.

The one you found is good as well—all Harolds are.

the one I found from the dead Constructor dealt Explosive Damage, and this is my 2nd legendary find (the first was the Hornet [which I still have and used Gibbed to manually level it up everytime I do]).

Its easily one of the best (most powerful) guns in the game. Its always explosive. It fires a projectile that splits into 3- then 5- then 7- projectiles at the cost of 3 ammo. Each projectile gets the full damage listed on the card, and since the additional projectiles aren't listed on the item card each projectile gains full damage bonus from Amp shields. You can often connect with all 7 projectiles on larger enemies, though it's difficult to make them all connect on normal sized enemies.

A lot of people like the "Double Penetrating" variant, which fires two volleys with a single trigger pull at the cost of 6 ammo. That variant shows a X2 on the item card so Amp damage is divided by half. The DP variant throws a lot of projectiles in the air at a time and the spread can be quite large, so it can be more difficult to get many of the projectiles to connect. Whatever the variant you find, the Unkempt Harold is incredibly powerful and good to hang on to. Nice find!

Props for finding one, very cool. As close to a god mode gun as the DPUH is, personally I just couldn't get into it as much as I wanted to. Didn't like the projectile spread/slow bullets at all - didn't feel fun to actually shoot. I prefer the Maggie, as far as high-damage pistols go... but all comes down to personal preference (who doesn't like laying waste to pretty much anything in your path, however you go about it?) But definitely a gun worth keeping around!

So good that it ruins uvhm

I have a double penetrating one with torgue grip and it wrecks everything. I found one on a different character in a vending machine with an explicit prefix and a bandit grip, but it still wrecks everything
Moral of the story: even with bad parts, the harold is still amazing

Such as?

For what I have seen, it isn't useless, just inferior to other options.

Why ask Bahroo? Lady fist is highest dps WITH crits, Harold is highest dps WITHOUT crits. No need to go to Bahroo for everything

One of the best weapons in the game, but u must really close to the enemy if you re not fighting a raid boss.
