Best / Favorite Gun testing area

Beside the shooting range, of coure. For which they did a better job in TPS. Including shielded and armored targets. Still not moving and not shooting at you so we need to test “real life” situation elsewhere.

For me it’s Frostburn Canyon. Some mobs variety. Possibility to snipe.
Depending on what I’m trying out I can start with the “FireHawk cave” or the area going to it. Usually I start the other way around with the little bandit village. If I feel like it I push it to Scorch. Which provide a bigger challenge yet not too difficult. For some more action I continue toward the stairs and Spycho. That bring me back to the cave entrance.

What’s yours?

Funny you say Frostburn because that’s one of my favourite testing sites too.

I like the Fridge a lot - I do that Smash Head loop a lot for testing.

Magnys Lighthouse is my standard Jakobs spot.

There’s the obvious Bloodshot and Southpaw - those two maps have been done to death by everyone.

Without a doubt Opportunity is the best for robots.

Pretty much the usual areas, but I must admit the first small bunch of bandits down from the exit gate from Liars’ Berg have died many many times to newly found items. :slight_smile:

Frostburn is nice for aforementioned reasons, plus I like the atmosphere, plus the possibility of both LLMs and tubbies spawning which is always a nice bonus.

Great minds think alike! :blush:

Of course Opportunity for Loaders… Or Washburn Refinery. But that one too we’ve seen a lot if you watch MoLMF “Does it suck” serie.
Which remind me the day my wife asked if I knew the place… Yes…!
But I prefer Opportunity. Less predictable and more “in your face”. Even thou I hate doing missions there! :smiley:

Sawtooth Cauldron for testing against bandits, Caustic Caverns for testing against creatures, and Arid Nexus: Badlands for testing against robots.
The ultimate test of how well a corrosive gun performs is seeing how much it can chunk Saturn, of course.

I wouldn’t dare try a gun I’m not sure of on Saturn!
Arid Nexus: Badlands is a good idea for robots. Never of thought of that one.

-Edit- Thinking about it… I did tried a couple corrosive guns on Saturn :open_mouth: Yep, that’s the guy for it.

Lynchwood was always my favorite map for testing. I must have ran it 200 times at least just testing random things

A big and varied mob. Mini bosses and farther into the map you get some creatures. Dukino’s mom is a big boss to really test your dps on

I go to Lynchwood to test sniper rifles. I like going there just for fun. Maybe with a new gun but only if I know it will perform or I already tested it.
Dukino’s mom is something I’ve almost never done. That’s on my bucket list. You’re right. Good one to test DPS.

I do the beatdown and LLM run while I am testing guns.

To my defence I’ve been leveling up characters. Mostly. And I don’t remember exactly what she drop but never was on my “must have” list.
As I said. She’s on my bucket list. Something I’ll have to practice.
