Elemental Jacobs Pistol?

I thought Jacobs pistols were non-elemental but I picked up a Cryo Dastardly Pepperbox in a random game I joined, someone had left it on the ground in Concordia. Is it modded or am I wrong.

Will add a picture tomorrow.

modded. the only elemental jakobs guns are the too scoops, the cyber eagle, and the as of yet unreleased boomacorn.

There’s also the fact that it’s a Pepperbox. The Pepperbox title is only given to a Jakobs pistol with the Vladof barrel. The thing is, the normal Jakobs pistols aren’t allowed to spawn with the Vladof barrel; for whatever reason, the devs removed it from the list of available parts for Jakobs pistols.

Now, to be fair, I have seen a thread with someone saying they’d found a Pepperbox. However, the weapon in question was a Glitch weapon, so it may not be bound by the same rules as the normal Jakobs pistols. However, unless I find my own Pepperbox, I can’t actually verify the authenticity of the weapon in question. Not saying the person was lying; just entertaining healthy skepticism because this is the internet we’re talking about.

Several pepperboxes have been found, they’ve been sought-after items ever since the DLC’s release, no need to be sceptic. One with a cryo element, on the other hand, is modded

Aren’t all the pepperboxes that have been found Glitch weapons?

EDIT: since no one is responding, I’ll clarify: the OP makes no mention of the rarity of the gun that he found. It’s certainly possible that the weapon in question was a Glitch weapon, in which case my statement that the fact that it’s a Pepperbox also makes it suspect no longer applies. However, that’s one rarity out of 7 possible. It’s also possible that the weapon in question is any of the other rarities, in which case my point still applies.

Even a glitched Jakobs weapon can’t be elemental though.

Apparently I need to actually point this out. The first post I made in this thread states, “There’s also the fact that it’s a Pepperbox.” This is a direct quote. The fact that I said that there’s also the fact that it’s a Pepperbox means that I’m not saying that the element on the weapon is legit. What I’m saying is that in addition to being clearly modded because of the element, it’s also clearly modded because that barrel can’t spawn on that weapon normally. I do make it a point to mention the one exception I know of to the second issue, but that doesn’t mean that I’m saying that Glitched Cryo Pepperboxes are legit; it just means that Glitched Pepperboxes are legit, but if the weapon in question is a Glitch weapon, it’s still modded because of the element.

Well that was a mouthful, but yes :smiley:

Ok guys here’s the gun in question

That’s a Glitch rarity weapon, so only the element makes it modded. Since you didn’t state the rarity of the weapon, I decided to cover bases and note that the Pepperbox is normally not a legit weapon. Sorry for the confusion.

Dam! I was hoping to find one with the 04L4M4A4 error code, now I’m sad.

funnily, if it would’ve been modded correctly, it would have been an glitched cryo Anarchist, since the gun has the Vladof body and barrel. someone slapped the Pepperbox title on it, to get the x2 Multiplier, but it is clearly a Vladof gun and thus an Anarchist, if constructed correctly. and then, an element would’ve been possible.
a Pepperbox looks different, aside from the element.

Thanks for the info

It comes straight from the program that cannot be named.
A real Pepperbox uses the Jakobs body, Vladof barrel.

Wow. I was so focused on the title of the weapon that I didn’t pay any attention to the body. Lex is right: that’s a Vladof body, not a Jakobs.

That uses a Vladof body, similar to the hacked pepperboxes from bl2.


Presumably the person who made it just got a cryo Anarchist and changed it into a Jakobs.

That’s not a 'legit" Glitch rarity pepperbox.
It’s a Vladof Glitch pistol with the Pepperbox name, especially since it doesn’t have the “Fires as fast as you can pull the trigger.” tag that’s on all Jakobs Pistols, Assault Rifles, and Shotguns in The Pre Sequel.
If it was a Legit Pepperbox, it would have the appearance of a Gltched and Faded Maggie with a Vladof barrel and an actual Jakobs Pistol Body.
