i've probably had a few of those sniper rifles, i don't like them, those are the ones that bounce of walls?
Yeah, they're designed so you can shoot multiple enemies at once.
I have a couple of these things now - the sniper rifle I've mentioned, a rocket launcher that scores about 19,000 points worth of damage, as well as a SMG.
Quick tip/cheat - if you tip Moxxi enough money, not only do you get an achievement, you can also get a rare gun from her. If you tip her $10,000 you get the "Sugar Daddy" achievement, and if you keep going, at some point before $20,000 you'll unlock "Miss Moxxi's Bad Touch (SMG)". Keep going all the way up to $50,000 and at some point she'll offer you her "Good Touch (SMG)".
Has anyone found any orange weapons? I've found three - one after killing King person that I find irritating, one after completing Fink's Slaughterhouse and the third other after killing The Warrior for the second time (which is a great way of farming rare weapons/eridium). The first one was a 6 shot Rocket Launcher, the second one was an SMG, the third was an explosive shotgun. I've seen people talking though about sniper rifles that do 100,000 points worth of damage?
Holy shit!
Anyhoo, finished the first playthrough last night - no spoilers, but I definitely can't wait for Borderlands 3! And also Terramorphus is going to get his slimy, worm-like ass kicked when I've levelled up enough.
