Things I have Pondered Recently

Borderlands 2 Loot and Weapons
#1

  1. Does a Sham absorb the reflected bullets from BARex??

  2. Does a Sham absorb the reflected bullets from Jackenstein???

  3. Does a Transformer work against Jackenstein’s shock attacks?..and would it’s absorption capabilities kick in against reflected bullets?

  4. Would an Antagonist with it’s bullet reflection capability be a good choice against Jackenstein or BARex??

  5. Does Slag work at all against Jackenstein or BARex??

Chime in fellas (and ladies)…any answers appreciated.

I had a ricochet fest once with Maya and the Blockhead. I think I was fighting a scallian empress or something similar and it kept trying to reflect my bullets back to me but I reflected them back to it. I wish now I had filmed it.

These should since reflected projectiles are considered “new”; it’s not your actual bullets that are being reflected back to you, but new ones. The same goes for any bullet reflection skill.

I dunno, but I don’t see why not since they’re considered shock attacks.

Slag does not work against either Jack or BARex to my knowledge.

IIRC Magic Missiles and slag transfusion grenades can produce purple damage ticks off BARex. Slag and corrosive weapons also work if you can land shots into the front missile silos when they open.

I don’t remember what happens with Jackenstein though. And wouldn’t his shock bolts over-charge a Transformer shield, leading to unwanted side effects?

:blconfused: It’s all speculation right now until John tests it out. :smiley:

If I can get some free time I’ll test a free things.
