The +pistol damage from Renegade COM applies to ANY weapon type in the off hand when gunzerking (with pistol in MH)

Borderlands 2 Salvador the Gunzerker

In case it wasn’t clear the off hand weapon doesn’t have to be a pistol .

tests from different thread - was testing all I need is one

first test without gunzerking

1017.888 base damage lvl 34 Trenchant Umbrage maliwan pistol
1431.294 ui after first shot // 1017.888 * (1 + 0.115 + 0.29) = 1430.132
2245.604 ui with AINIO 10/5 80% // 1017.888 * (1 + 0.115 + 0.29 + 0.8) = 2244.443 // ADDITIVE :disappointed:

COM ~ 29% pistol damage

BAR
~11.5 gun damage
~9.1 grenade damage

corrosive vs flesh Thm 0.6

damage test

calculation
1017.888 * (1 + 0.115 + 0.29 + 0.8) * 0.6 = 1346.6658 // impact
1017.888 * 0.8 * (1 + 0.115 + 0.29) * (1 + 0.091) * 0.6 = 748.932 // splash corrosive benefits from grenade damage bonus lol

The splash doesn’t benefit from 1 AINIO

shotgun test

as expected all shotgun pellets get the AINIO bonus

only the weapon that shoots first after the double switch gets the bonus (important when not using the same weapon)

WHY DID THE SHOTGUN HIT HARDER THIS TIME ?!?

1089.567 * (1 + 0.115 + 0.8) = 2086.521
1 089.567 * (1 + 0.115 + 0.8 + 0.29) = 2402.495 // LOL the 29% for the pistol mainhand from COM applied to the shotgun in the offhand :))

second test with pistol and SR offhand

     644015    69318.000 Max     30715.648 Cur    38966.320 Prev     8250.672 Damage

jackobs lvl 37 sia-siah chinook

3739.869 * (1 + 0.115 + 0.8 + 0.29) = 8246.411 // confirmed

and to be safe repeat the test with the renegade com module un-equipped

     786547    69318.000 Max     23440.906 Cur    29107.330 Prev     5666.424 Damage

how about if it is in the main hand?

#3

you want me to put pistol in offhand and non-pistol in main hand ? I’m assuming none of the weapons will get the COM pistol damage then

EDIT the test

3739.869 * (1 + 0.115) = 4169.954 // as expected the pistol must be in the main hand for the com damage bonus to apply

Nice research. Pairs nicely with this thread:

Sal is a monster!
