Yeah they launched a fair good distance from the rest of Rouge's loot, but in my game they flew in different directions. Spotted the Skullmasher fairly quickly, but it took me awhile to find the Baby Maker, which I knew to be the guaranteed drop unlike the uncertain rifle. If they had been in switched locations, I probably would have just assumed the Skullmasher hadn't dropped that run.

They've both dropped each time after twenty kills and I've already gotten the top variants. I'll still farm for the OP8 Skookum Skullmasher.

This is the first day where I actually cared about the bounty. I can't wait to see what happens next week. Edit: Got it, I'm done, goodluck hunting.

Dissapointed this wasn't buffed, the stats look identical to one I found before the hunt :/

Nice novelty item at least.

It's a capped accuracy zer0 rifle, I'd go for Siah-Siah - unless you can land all 5 pellets it's rather average gun.

[urfragmeat]

I was hoping they would return it to its Borderlands 1 glory :( That was one of my fav guns in that game.

The Skullmasher is pretty underwhelming. Crappy accuracy, low damage, and a lot of wobble. I ended up farming it just for the shop value.

[bubbacho]

Well like Waxx said if you can't land the rounds it really doesn't out perform rifles in its class. The accuracy is laughable to say the least, and at range I wouldn't say its useless but the results are unsatisfying. I remember loving the original in B1 and when I first found out where it dropped in B2 I made a beeline for Mothrakk. It took so long to drop that the joy I felt seeing that puppy hit the turf, was immediately crushed by actually using it for the first time.

I've argued with dudes in these forums swearing that its the most powerful rifle in the game, and if you look at the stats and test it yourself in the range it does seem promising. Its just when I get out in the wild with that thing I can't seem to replicate the results.

It is great on large targets with huge crit spots (Warrior, Terramorphus) but underwhelming in almost every other situation.
