 Today we check out the VASX Deathgrip, a newly added shotgun with a takedown at the Madiwamble website. How's it going guys, my name is DPJ and today I bring you another Borderlands 3 video. If you do enjoy it leaving a like really helps out and subscribe if you want to see more. On Screen they can see my weekly giveaway along with last week's winner, to be in with a chance of winning this yourself, follow the instructions on screen now and good luck. So the VASX Deathgrip is a real unique shotgun which outside of the raid only drops from Troika Lipsa upon Mayhem IV, which in my opinion is your best bet at farming, yet otherwise drops from the Valkyrie Squad and Walton within the Madiwamble raid. Ok, so this shotgun, the VASX Deathgrip, a good death is its own reward. This red text reference I believe is in reference to General Zah's right hand accomplice, Fayora, within Superman Man of Steel, she says this in this movie and then it's said to her just before she dies. A good death is its own reward. Now this could be from somewhere else, but this is where I recognise it from. So let's check out its stats. The VAM which I have, the best one I have, it does 558x6 damage, 67% accuracy, 69% handling, a reload timer of 2.4 seconds, a 1.32 fire rate and a magazine size of 6. This with a plus 163% weapon damage, a plus 20% charge speed, consumes 6 ammo per shot which is kind of pricey and this will eat away the ammo with a 1.5x zoom, VASX Grass refills every 6 seconds also. This variant are through that radiation, now it does come in all elements as far as I know. So this shotgun is actually really unique and it's definitely not your typical borderline shotgun. If we check out how this thing works, we see it has a slight charge time with the 3 ducks filling around its sights. It then unleashes 12 projectiles which then tether to one another, creating basically 6 lasers. This shotguns of a fire mould is VASX GRASP. It fires a disc which creates a singularity which sucks enemies in. So I guess the way this is used is you shoot this VASX GRASP which sucks in enemies then you tether them with its other mould. So what is this capable of damage wise? For the 12 projectiles it shoots create 6 lined tevres, 6 lasers so to speak. Now each tevre is capable of doing up to 16 ticks of damage and yes multiple tevres can damage the same enemy and these tevres last roughly around 4 seconds. This also hits a crit spot for just over double that non crit spot damage. So I fear that in fact each tevre deals up to 16 ticks of damage and there are 6 of those tevres and seeing that with the handsome jack test dummy we are doing 2,250 per tick to the crit times that by 16 and then we have an average of possible damage just think and deal of 36,000 in 4 seconds. Which under my testing against this test dummy is actually quite a high DPS. Not the best bullets up there. Also to add, if you are colossal of these will stick to an enemy and deal maximum damage. If you fire them at the floor or wall they will explode instantly. So let's check out how effective the vast grasp is. This like it states charges every 6 seconds. Now to be honest under my testing I won't lie to you guys I don't think this is all that effective. I mean in certain instances it does work but I actually don't feel it's that beneficial. I will also state the range of both fire modes are very very short with 0% option in extending them. The damage the standard mode produces though is really really good like seriously good but again with this you are limited in instances this is actually going to be efficient. So my thoughts on this shotgun, the Vosx Deathgrip, it's super powerful and it does indeed mount shields. It's actually a married one shotgun which is quite decent. I do think this is a shotgun though that is limited in what it can be efficient with. Enemies that are stationary I feel this would work 100% best on. This alternate firing mode in my opinion isn't that great and there are many singularity grenades which would work miles miles better. It's a nice addition but not needed in my opinion. It is good for staggering enemies that are bunched up so you can switch to its normal firing mode but personally I don't feel in the heat of a battle it's going to be all that handy. The single target damage though what this thing is capable of is literally incredible. If you stick an enemy if you are close enough to said enemy you won't need many shots to kill them no matter the size of them but again getting close to certain enemies can be risky. So all in all it's a good shotgun for the right instance actually a shotgun that reminds me much of the anarchy exotic from Destiny which works in a similar way. Is it good enough to take the place of a previously heavy hitting shotgun? I don't think it is but that's just me. This really doesn't fit my playstyle. Obviously we all play relatively different and if this looks to be a weapon suit to you or you see a purpose for this a gain through a calypso or mayhem 4 or the Valkyrie squad and waltzing from the raid oh where you get this from people. So good luck in farming guys. For me if I had to rate this out of 10 I'd give it a solid 6. Yes it does impressive damage but that damage under my testing is seriously situational.
