    Sal is great because he actually scales into UVHM, which a lot of characters simply suffer a lot in. He can slag easier than anyone else besides maybe Maya, and is super tanky. I honestly wish the other characters were made closer to his level so UVHM and OP levels weren't as awful.

      Axton does really well with dual slag turrets, and Legendary Pointman makes him tanky when specced into Grit, but his strength is biased heavily toward mobs rather than bosses, and unless you use The Bee he just won't cut it solo against raid bosses. The Bitch and Lyudmila/White Death are decent finds for him.

    1:49 You forgot to mention that when the game decides how much moneyshot bonus your left gun should have, it looks at the magazine size of the right gun. So holding the Grog in the right hand gives you full money shot bonus on your Orphan maker that should barely get a bonus.

      However, there is another moneyshot bug.
      If your right weapon has an empty magazine, your left gun will receive the moneyshot bonus from your right gun on all shots fired.
      But it has to be 0 and not 1. So you would need to fire away all your ammo or get the inconceivable bug that doesn't make your weapon reload automatically.

    At first I didn't think being able to hold two guns at the same time is impressive then I realized that means he can hold a slag weapon and fire his main gun at the same time. This means he gets access to slag whenever his ability is available and he got a slag weapon. It's just a point and click adventure at that point.

      Honestly that’s the entire reason he’s OP. The guns are made or have wild ass effects, ideally helpful and good at least in certain scenarios. When you allow a character to hold two different guns…well, you basically get the most powerful character. Unless you want to nerf all the guns, making them less ideal for other characters just to make sure combining them isn’t too powerful, you kinda have to accept that.
      That said, you can mod Salvador to gunzerk with two of the same gun (like, if you have a torgue quad, and you hit gunzerk, you’re now holding two quads even if every other gun in your swap slots is different). It substantially reduces how OP he is, to the point where Axton kinda beats him out. It’s odd that gearbox never adjusted him in this way, and also kinda frustrating.

  • @TheMe9595
    @TheMe9595 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I think weapon merging is a little different than you mentioned here. With the grog, you get the healing if it is out when damage occurs I'm pretty sure. So if you have one gun out and swap to the grog before the bullets hit, you gain the health. Or if you throw a grenade with the grog out you gain health. You aren't really merging its effect in this case the gun is just out and its effect works. If you watch speed runs of the game, the any% with gaige, they do weapon merging there to stack I think its crit damage from one gun onto a different gun.

      Funny thing is i have been playing all borderlands game for more than 10 years and i still have to actually go end game in BL2.
      It takes ages and it's so hard for me, also on console and i don't want to use weird things to get quest items and such. I never killed a raid boss, i never got to OP i dont even know what that is. My two best attemps were Anarchy Gaige LVL.72 but i've had loot given to me so it dosnt count imo. Like i had the norfleet. I never looted one ever. Never had seraph weapon either. My latest attempt was Axton LvL 80, barely making it in Uvhm. I used the tooth pick (rainbow ar i think if i remember) mainly.
      Borderlands 1 i've had all vaut Hunter max level highest difficulty soloing all the content. (I farmed weeks on weeks like 8h per day the armory and only ever had one Pearl. Undertaker i think iirc. So i abandonned that)
      I got multiple character close to end game in TPS and the only one i finished was athena infinte shotgun build bulletstorm something. Here i can deal with the game it's just so tedious to farm xp and loot.
      And BL3 i have all characters done and fully ready for end game.

    this is a really cool video! salvador is fun to talk about in terms of balance, as he has had a very interesting history throughout borderlands 2’s lifetime, along with his mechanics and abilities, and how they make him who he is.
    i do think salvador is broken in some regard, but i think it comes a lot down to the weapons he can take advantage of rather than him exclusively. earlier on, when a lot of dlc weapons didn't exist, such as a grog nozzle, and the level cap was 50, i think he was better balance wise as he didn't have access to any of the now well established powerful gear he can use, and you didn't have as many skill points to work with. while you can rock the rubi and harold, you still have way less skill points than nowadays so you kinda have to invest wisely. i think he was designed to be a glass cannon, dealing out heaps of damage and taking heaps of agro, with the gunlust and rampage trees allowing for massive stat boosts and constant damage, and tank giving increased survivability so you can take more heat, but the addition of several weapons like the grog nozzle, new legendary class mods, etc, along with the hugely increased level cap, it basically nullified any sort of weakness that salvador would have had in the past. the grog made his tank skilltree almost entirely obsolete, allowing him to just go all in on damage and duration, which allows him to be even MORE powerful and tanky, as with the grog, damage = healing, with more damage = even more healing.
    i think Sal being able to capitalise on weapon effects is really cool and unique to him, but that alone almost pushes him over the edge entirely with balance singlehandedly imo. i would hate to see it nerfed, but it probably would be necessary to make him more reasonable.
    even then, there's so much more to talk about with salvador, such as his skills like money shot and overkill, along with general jank like guns in his left hand not being affected by certain skills/gear, but i just wanted to give my 2 cents. he's a fun character, and a macho man for sure.

  • @Archive385
    @Archive385 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I am glad you mentioned that Salvador is OP without exploits. Dual DPS or DPS and utility together is insane, and not many people understand that fundamental aspect of Salvador makes him so strong. The fact that he can regen ammo and basically gunzerk forever, means that even the downside (high ammo consumption) of having two copies of a weapon is basically non-existent.
    Also weapon merging works with identical weapons two lady fists together gives Salvador +1600% crit, this is actually worse than Grog and Lady Fist. Which gives +800% due to the Grog's x3 multiplier
    I am convinced that the spaghetti code that is Salvador is what lead to dual-wielding bugs in later titles such as the buffmeister exploit in Wonderlands (patched) as an example, and those only got patched because these games were more recent. Gearbox is known for being lazy when it comes to this sort of thing.

      Dual guns means you have a counter to every elemental resistance in the game and still have a slot for the grenades. You can either use grenades for damage, guns for utilities or vice versa. Every vault hunter can do that but not to the same extent as Sal. Sal literally doesn't need the glitches and still remains amongst the strongest Vault hunters in the game.

    Sal always has been one of my favs (played every character to max about 2-4 times) because he starts out actually.... Like the weakest ? Just taking a look at new game speedruns he really isn't better than the other characters. He is actually slot worse until you get his skilltree and weapon choices really going . After that you can build into whatever You want. You wanna use the gub? Sure try it to your hearts content. You wanna spam bullets with butchers and never reload? Sure go ahead. I love this. I love the fact that sal really has unlimited build options just because he can pretty much break everything. This game has so much awesome loot and equipment it's a shame 90% of it goes to trash for most of the characters at higher levels while sal is able to make use of it.

    The Library of my highschool was where i first saw the trailer for Borderlands 2 and when sal came on screen it was love at first sight. ive put 2000 hours at minimum into borderlands 2 and only ever completed one playthrough as someone other than Salvador (shout out krieg)

    I read a steam guide that referred to Salvador as "The walking glitch", and that about summarizes him perfectly.

    In my opinion the grog nozzle is what puts him over the edge. He also requires far less setup to be effective

    I think its fine to have one "broken" character. Makes it a little bit easier to do raid style content for people who are not maybe that good at games or dont have friends to play with. Everything should be soloable in borderlands anyways and its good theres a character that can do it well

    I still say that Sal is really fun to play! Even if you know ALL of the builds and set-ups for Salvador, you can still easily get 1-2 tapped by much of the harder content if you do not know exactly what you are doing.

  • @bonchachan6061
    @bonchachan6061 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    There's another busted skill that Sal has - 5 shots or 6. It's a kill skill that gives you a chance to receive +2 ammo to the magazine after a shot and with a class mod boosting it to 10/10 you get 50% chance for it it happen so 50% of the shots consume ammo and 50% of the shots refill magazine back, which gives you almost infinite ammo on most guns, with ammo regen effects that Sal has it actually becomes infinite. Very strong with Vladof sniper rifles, you use them like a machine gun on Sal.

    Sometimes, you want something that will challenge your skills, your intellect, in order to achieve what deemed impossible.
    And sometimes, you just want to go around and kill everything you meet, yell one-liners, shoot two guns that do not shut up, and have a shield that doesn't shut up neither.

  • @stefannilsson2406
    @stefannilsson2406 ปีที่แล้ว

    Inconceivable caps at 50% chance to not consume ammo. And you get the full bonus when your shield is depleted or you are very low on health. So you don't need to be 1 shot away from dying to get the full bonus. You still get it at full health with broken shield.

  • @SgtMjRomero
    @SgtMjRomero ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I completely forgot to mention another weapon combo. Green Vladof launcher & the fibber. Fire both guns at the same time to pause ammo consumption on the fibber until you stop firing, or gunzerking wears off.
    You can do this to money shot Hyperius to death at speeds so fast, you can chain kill him to cause loot pools large enough to tank the frame rate.

  • @truepotatoking7486

    I have the same Sal since launch! I'm not going to be like "he OP, not play". This is new to me too, I dont really interact with Bl2 comunity, but Zer0 seems strong too. And I didnt know about the Pimpernel, and I dont know what a Ahab is lol

    • @shipu302
      @shipu302 ปีที่แล้ว

      Zero is very strong, sometimes even better than Sal, but he's much harder to play. The Ahab is a rocket launcher from the pirate DLC. It's not very good on its own, so most people only use it for that exploit.

    @Irydion ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Money Shot is even more broken than what you said. It scales up to 12 mag size (instead of 10 like the description says). Which means that the full bonus you can get with 11 points is 1056% and not 880%.
    For the Grog Nozzle healing applying to the other weapon, it's more about the Grog Nozzle being broken than Salvador. Healing from Moxxi weapons works with every damage you do when holding the weapon. Yes, it's easier with Salvador, but using Chain Lightning or swapping weapons with slow projectiles (like a DPUH) works well enough on every character.

    • @ItzTermx

  • @corden826
    @corden826 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wonderlands spellshot can kind of spell-merge, allowing the damage on your 1st spell to apply to your 2nd spell, the Buffmeister spell gives every gun shot a tiny bit of extra damage, but this damage can take the value of your 2nd spell base damage, allowing your Buffmeister-buffed shots to do A LOT of extra damage instead, don't know if this ever got patched or not, I haven't seen it in a while but I think that's more because the community condemned it, or maybe it did get removed

    salvadors mechanics could be extremely fun in a modern borderlands game really, if borderlands 4 has multiple action skills again i feel like it should come back in some sort of way, just actually balanced and such.
    also, every borderlands game except 1 and 3 (if you dont count digi clone or iron bear) had a type of gunzerk in it, bl2 had sal, blps had nisha with her dual pistols and wonderlands had spellzerker, so thats interesting

  • @hellboy19991
    @hellboy19991 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    salvadors issue wasn't inherently him using two weapons at the same time, it is that he had so many bugs supporting him on top of not having a negative damage modifier while using two weapons.

    Sham shield
    Legendary reaper class mod
    Electric storm front
    Logan’s gun low level (for rocket ammo)
    Bloodsplosion tree and mix of hellfire tree

    I'm really starting to enjoy your videos my friend. Do I care if Salvador is a broken character not one bit. he's one of my most favorite playable characters in borderlands. he was actually one of the first characters ever played just for the simple fact that he could double wheeled when I first saw him😮. I was just like OH I got to play that guy. But what essentially you're saying is he's a juggernaut and all of borderlands history. But my love goes out to all the borderlands characters in every borderlands game. Would it be cool if they gave Moze the gunzerking ability. Alongside all of the ability she already has I think she would become one of the most overpowered characters in borderlands history I honestly thought that moze was the daughter of Salvador at first I mean to be honest they best friends for life I can see that now just both of them gunzerking together oh that would be so cool. keep on bringing the videos you're my friend you're doing a great job.
