So what is the highest damage sniper rifle you guys have seen so far

ugh, i hate how this version of the game decided that increasing HP's exponentially between every single level was the best way to increase difficulty, it just starts getting rather silly after mid 30's, at that point, a purple 40 is out done by a white 42, makes it almost pointless. I'm at 45-46 right now, and i'm watching all the purples i got out of the chest at 45 getting beat by whites and greens of the very next level.

I have been running the dlc's and seem to only be finding whites in gun chests. I will find a couple of blues and a seldom purple after beating the bosses of the dlc but throw some blues into some gun chests every once in a while. Its kind of frustrating. I have gotten one orange on my second play through.

First play through I found like 3-4 oranges, then farmed the dj for the bee shield and thats the only orange i have seen in like 40 hours of play time

And yeah, i've noticed an insane number of whites in the chests/drops as of late, i even have 4 players all with the 5% artifact.

so far its been Jakobs but just damage Explosive. its tiny tina cobra. i have i have level 50 lyuda shock does good damage but not as good as pimpernel. its all comes down to what class and spec your running and if you have good amount of ammo. some say railers are good railer but you have to aim for floor to bounce off first to do great damage. but down side is ammo and fact takes 2 shoots. or you find great one that has huge rate of fire that you waste to much ammo fast.

i like the pimpernel i have 2 lv 50 shock and one Corrosive. have not had chance to give Corrosive chance but i do know shock does great damage.

I have been using a slag sniper that splits into 6? more bullets after impact, great the bee shield and against larger enemies since all the projectiles hit them also.

I actually for a sightless sniper rifle off of Arizona the first try. But it's not the elephant gun. Really powerful though. Based on what I can see I'm better of just sticking with that and not going after a legendary

Straight-up damage? Lv.50 Buffalo from Dukino's mom mission. 35K damage. For elemental I've got a Monstrous Corinthian (purple) and Volcano (orange). I've found more powerful elemental ones, but I favor fire over anything else.

that is true. but if your class is not spec right for it. it will not help much. since the tiny tina cobra can do more damage since its explosive damage. i tried buffalo with zero class sniper and find it better to use lyuda or any other rife since that gun more for group games.

Personally I like straight dmg
