Well yes, when I'm in those situations I do feel like I may as well have just rolled a Siren, and that's what bugs me.
During the very little bit of multiplayer I was able to do last year when I got the game (using obscure German VPN programs and other arcane rituals), Mordecai seemed to be the most popular character and I can testify that it is fun to play in a group of snipers, except for those "Oh shit" moments when you're all crouched in some elevated position popping off heads across the map and some improbably stealthy Badass Psycho somehow sneaks around behind you all.
I remember playing a Sniper spec Mordecai and found this rifle with something like a 2.5 or something like that ridiculous fire rate. I used that for close range encounters if something snuck up on me.
some do and some don't, it's always been like that
the ones that do are machine guns, the ones that don't are combat rifles
they both use the same ammo and they both receive all benefits from any class mods or talents that boost assault rifles
Yep. Machine guns are the bullet hoses, but are pretty iffy at range unless you get one with an accuracy of at least 80 (some recoil reduction would be nice too). Combat rifles are the ones with small clips that fire in 3-round bursts, making them purely long-range choices (they'll always have a scope of some kind). And then there are the Pounders - the ones with high damage but only six round clips which fire so slowly that they're nigh-on worthless. I never, never bother using those.

Combat rifles are actually great short range weapons if you can overcome their primary weakness (low cilp size). At close range you can usally make all three bullets critical. This combined with a +50% critical weapon drops enemies incredibly quickly.
What's a good alt-weapon for the Brick? I've been primarily (solely?) using shotguns, but a few times I've run out of ammo and wasn't sure what else I could equip. Pistols with +melee damage? Or does it not matter when berserking?

Berserking uses its own damage calculations, nothing weapons help with.
Brick is good with anything, up to and including snipers if you're in the mood. His bonuses carry over to all weapon types.
My typical loadout is Blast Hammer (shotgun), Scoped Ogre (machine gun), Anarchy (smg), Niddhogg.
Here's the thing about combat rifles in this game: they almost never have anything above X1 elemental, and that's annoying to me. If they do... they only have 12 bullets in the chamber and have 3 round bursts.

And a lot of them have fast reload. No elemental is annoying, but they're still my go-to weapon, especially on Roland. With mods, my current rifle is 95 damage, 14 fire rate, 90-ish accurate, 28 clips size. And I picked it up at level 14. Very few things survive more than a double tap.
I play a majority on the 360 myself... But it's also local-coop which is exactly what I've been looking for. Unfortunately I'm not sure if I'll be playing this anytime soon...

Actually those moments were pretty fun too.

Get the trigger timing down and they are better than automatic.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.

I basically didn't find one until like, level 52
I used a Destroyer as a stop-gap because 30 round bursts are great
It gets passed on to any cr-centric characters now.

:winky:
God, I wish I could find a fast loading shotgun. I always get the ones that take a good 3-5 seconds to reload.
this is why I love SMGs
you find shit like this all the time
don't rub it in
I'd appreciate an invite to the group, BTW.
my latest finds:
a 380 (!!!) damage red cobra assault rifle
a 514 (!!!) damage stomper assault rifle
a 408 (!!!) damage havoc machine gun
despite being awesome guns
nothing kills as fast as my new 387x12 shotgun
also, brick with a cobra sniper is dangerous

Sweep it through a crowd of Lance and everything above the shoulders is pink mist.

Doubling up as an effective sniper rifle is just gravy.
I just get so addicted to my turrent, but I need to get a good shotgun. Any specific shotgun I should be looking out for?
Also, I thought the "Smack'em" red text was still borked?
Thanks to the fast reload it has almost as much dps as my new bullet hose

but i usually like to wade in, so it's very much a matter of playstyle.

Why did I get this on Sexbawx? That's an uppercut to the face right there.
