If I pick up the quest and don’t turn it in will the E-Gun scale with my level like the grog nozzle in bl2? Or will the level be constant, I am in nvhm btw.
Depends on which mode. Also note that there’s a big difference between the temporary one you get during the mission (which is supposed to only affect ghosts), and the one you get for turning it in at the very end (which is likely level-locked when you accept the mission, or at least part 2 of it).
Really. What are the differences between the two? Does the turned in one do more?
Apparently I had it confused with something else. The wiki says the two are identical. Unfortunately, it doesn’t say anything about level. When I have some time, I’ll poke around my various saves and see what I have.
I have tested it out and it does not scale with your level. All stats stayed the same after 4 levels.
Which mode were you in? (Normal, true, etc.)
Normal but I will try with each difficulty.
In normal and true, the e-gun won’t level at all. You might be able to get it over a very narrow range, but that’s it - the missions have set levels they can be in, with the rewards being whatever level the mission is when you accept it.
In ultimate (3rd play through), the mission (and reward) will be whatever level your character is when you accept it. I’m not sure what happens with the weapon level if you hold on to it in ultimate without turning the quest in, but it likely will be level-l;ocked once you turn in the mission and get the permanent reward.
