Just got this from Crystal Springs, seems to be a pretty decent weapon. Mag Size of 42 with 4 Rolling Thunder synergy mods on.
Is this weapon any good for PvP?

If you supreme it and get a good dmg roll it'll be decent.Quote:

Not a good PvP weapon. The damage is too low and you run out of ammo extremely fast.Quote:

One thing that I've noticed is that players that only use those weapons get used to their power and usually can't use other weapons properly. However, players that use non-OPed gear can get quite good skill growth, to the point that they can kill well with nearly every weapon. By following this method you will get your ass handed to you quite often. However, it will compensate. I made the mistake of choosing the easy way early on and when I tried dropping my Piper, I got killed much more often even though I rarely got killed when I had my Piper equipped. As such, I realised that I didn't really have any sort of skill and that it was just an illusion. As such, I traded my Piper to a friend of mine and started to use balanced gear and only when I did that was when I experienced my greatest evolution.
Back to the topic, if you're lacking in gear, try the secret vendors. They sell some weaponry that isn't totally terrible and the vendor specials have 2 weapons instead of just 1.
Interesting. My playstyle is more suited to SMG/LMG or Snipers tbh. I've had a fair few melee kills. Could be fun to see if I could ever get kills with the Ventilator though, or even better, a BMG.
Guns that drop as epic can usually be upgraded twice so they can become supreme, exception being warmaster guns that simply can't be made supremeQuote:
