The Best parts and prefixes for Red Text gear

[Piemanlee (Goodbye friends and not friends, it's been a fun ride)]

W.I.P

Note: The best Stock is almost always Dahl on Weapons that can have them, with Hyperion being the runner-up. For Shotguns, the Hyperion Stock is the best, except for Hyperion Shotguns, where it’s a tossup between Torgue and Hyperion, depending on preference.

[nat_zero_six (I’m Nat and just a Number.)]

Love this. Better with screenshots though.

[Carlton_Slayer]

2 things: the Infinity can come in corrosive and Sparky Flynt can also drop the Thunderball Fists. Great job though- I’m sure you don’t get paid enough for this

[Piemanlee (Goodbye friends and not friends, it's been a fun ride)]

Does the corrosive sign not show for the infinity? The link I’ve always used for it doesn’t show the imagine on my phone. Should be the same one as the hornet or teapot. Also sparky flynt is already listed as a drop source for the t ball fist

[nat_zero_six (I’m Nat and just a Number.)]

I also can’t see the corrosive sign in my phone.

[LexAnarchy (Science triumphs!)]

Yeah I can’t see any corrosive icons either, and I’m on my PC.

[VaultHunter101 (So long, and thanks for all the fish)]

The corrosive symbol link was to a dropbox folder which no longer exists (gives a 404 error). Let me see what I can dig up…

Edit: looks like Sljm switched to the biohazard emoji, which is no longer green on the forums I think we should be able to do better though…

Edit 2: Try this

Large

Small

Small one is

[Piemanlee (Goodbye friends and not friends, it's been a fun ride)]

You’re awesome. I’ll be updating all of my guides with that asap

[FleshCrunch]

Maybe this is expected across but it is on topic and i don’t want to start a new one
What parts should i use with the pimpernel? Maliwan grip and Dahl or hyperion stock?

[Piemanlee (Goodbye friends and not friends, it's been a fun ride)]

Maliwan grip, but some people will also recommend jakobs which is viable to.

Dahl stock, but if framing anything that isn’t jakobs will work fine.

Prefixes
Barking is damage(my favorite)
Banbury is rate of fire(recommend on sniper zero from what I’ve seen)
Gentlemen’s is critical damage

[Carlton_Slayer]

Sorry- I was looking at the Tinderbox and thought Thunderball Fists (I blame it on late nights, early mornings and not enough coffee ).

[Piemanlee (Goodbye friends and not friends, it's been a fun ride)]

No worries

Test of the new corrosive icon

Awesome i can use the shorter one

Edit: updated the corrosive icons for the pistols, also fixed an issue with some of the slag icons. Thanks again @VaultHunter101 my guides wouldn’t be the same without you

Edit again: added drop down tab for pistols, will do this for every section

[FleshCrunch]

Thank you
Branbury worked fine for my sniper zero but going to farm them again with Maya.
This time i want to get the barking prefix and petfect parts atleast in fire and corrosive. Wish me luck!

[Piemanlee (Goodbye friends and not friends, it's been a fun ride)]

Shotguns finished

[Jefe (བར་དོ་ཐོས་གྲོལ)]

So far so good!

Only two things :

• the Gub is made substantially better by the Rapider prefix and I think it rates a mention ( I like it better than the Murduerer’s ).
• and I’m one of those guys who think the Rustler’s prefix is bad on the Striker and Triquetra. Well Kept is my second best but in my opinion only the Docs should be listed - especially for the Striker.

[Piemanlee (Goodbye friends and not friends, it's been a fun ride)]

Agreed on all points. Also added rapider to the tinderbox.

Anyone feel free to leave suggestions they are much appreciated and helpful.

[Ossie (Just...like, with a fork)]

• Typo in the Retcher header
• I never thought I’d see ‘Best * anything *’ and ‘Landscaper’ used together.

[Carlton_Slayer]

I thought the Interfacer had a rare chance to drop from Triple O? Also, how difficult would it be to include a screen shot of each weapon with its ‘perfect’ parts combination?

[Piemanlee (Goodbye friends and not friends, it's been a fun ride)]

This I’m not sure of

I couldn’t do it myself because I’m not on PC. Formatting these posts on mobile in a PITA. Also do forum posts have character limits?

[VaultHunter101 (So long, and thanks for all the fish)]

Not as far as I know. I did ask when I was considering doing an all-in-one post for my guides or splitting them up. For ease of editing, I split them!
