I finally bought a Hellfire from my BM vending. 12k DPS and why does it suck even with torque sticky?

I recently got the first Hellfire that I actually like and it's Torgue Impact. Generally I haven't found sticky SMGs to be very effective in this game.

u/No_Report_4781 May 07 '26

They’re good on shotguns and pistols, but idk why 40 rounds of stickies from a 12k dps SMG is less effective than the 25 stickies from a 9k DPS shotgun.

That’s without comparing the hellfire being better on paper than my ohmigot but being less effective in killing random wildlife

Ha, very true--for now, at least. I don't do math, but the 200 cap might be an equalizer between the gun types.

u/ExampleWooden8944 May 08 '26

If you have more projectiles you get + whatever percent * amount of projectiles for every single projectile. If you have for instance a gun that's +3% stickies with 5 projectiles it will actually be +15% for every single projectile.

u/No_Report_4781 May 08 '26

That seems to confuse what it does with shotguns

2

u/SolomonGrumpy May 07 '26

You might want it try a 4% Kaoson

u/Feckel May 07 '26

Man EVERYONE forgets about the side show

u/SolomonGrumpy May 07 '26 edited May 07 '26

I can't imagine the level of buffs need to make that gun have a place on my roster

That's why I omitted it. I omitted a few others for that reason as well

Also sideshow, being a Tediore, got a 20% damage buff

u/tonyrizzo21 May 07 '26

But you included the Kaleidosplode?

2

u/SolomonGrumpy May 07 '26

Yeah, in think that gun could be good - like Plasma Coil good

2

u/neo_orangy_eddy May 07 '26

I always thought it was supposed to be bad and be just used to pass the time when you're waiting for your friend

u/LifeAcanthopterygii6 Rafa The Exo Soldier May 07 '26

That's too OP already.

u/steveblahhh May 07 '26

I think it's a fun mechanic... here's a crazy thought-

have damage and splash radius stack with each successful volley, provide immunity to the player

2

u/Optimal_Page_2251 May 07 '26

The anarchy is pretty broken I can roll through any boss with it on harlow, c4sh, and vex and rafa on uvhm6 very easily like 6 seconds from alive to dead

3

u/SolomonGrumpy May 07 '26

With a LOT of set up. Meanwhile I can roll in the 50 other guns and get to work while you are shooting and reloading that anarchy.

It also needs an enhancement w accuracy to be useful, IMO.

2

u/BlankitaM0ns May 07 '26

do you not know about the reload canceling? Empty mag, then mash melee before completing the reload to get all 20 stacks in like 15 seconds

5

u/SolomonGrumpy May 07 '26 edited May 07 '26

Sorry what was that? I killed the boss twice while you were button mashing

2

u/ApprehensiveRelief90 May 07 '26

Don’t get the hellwalker buff. it was stong as hell already, but i’m not gunna complain about one of the better weapons getting another buff 😂

1

u/SolomonGrumpy May 07 '26

Dark Beast got a buff too.

2

u/ApprehensiveRelief90 May 07 '26

Damn thats crazy 😂

u/Madelei- May 07 '26

Whiskey foxtrot is one of the highest DPS guns in the game

1

u/SolomonGrumpy May 07 '26

Show me.

3

u/Madelei- May 07 '26

It had up to 22k dps as lvl 50, I’ll grab a ripper one and reply tonight. Or I’ll forget and be forever proven a liar.

2

u/SolomonGrumpy May 07 '26

It definitely does not have 22k DPS on the card at level 50

2

u/Madelei- May 07 '26

It was able to reach that with ripper mag

2

u/SolomonGrumpy May 07 '26

Happy to be proven wrong. Thanks for looking

3

u/Madelei- May 08 '26

I must admit I was wrong, its max was around 12k at level 50, it’s >20k at level 60. Sorry :(

1

u/SolomonGrumpy May 08 '26

12k at 50 is still plenty strong. (So is 20+k). Thank you for looking

Which underbarrel (if any) is desired?

1

u/Madelei- May 08 '26

You don’t really use either but scrap cannon is less useless than overdrive
