 So going into this video, I initially didn't know if this weapon had any benefits in terms of is it a viable weapon, is it a must chase? Is it worth the crazy farming? Well today, hopefully I will answer those questions for you. 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 me out and subscribe if you want to see more Borderlands. On screen now you can see my weekly giveaway along with last week's winner, to being with the chance of winning this yourself, follow the instructions on screen now on good luck. So the Crader's EMP5 is an SMG that was introduced into the loop within the takedown at the Milo and Black Sight event. And it drops from a couple of different places within the game. It drops from Payne who is a one-time kill per story run and it drops from the Valkyrie squad within the raid. Now too far on Payne for this wouldn't really be that efficient as he is a one-time kill per story run. You could indeed back up your save files on PC and I believe you can do this on consoles too which is something I would not recommend. But if you ain't about that you would literally have to restart the story per run in killing Payne to try and get this thing. Now I got a pal who got this to drop from Payne on PC as he literally just backed up his save and kept farming the agoniser and Payne and Terra. He got this to drop after two and a half hours of farming him people. He said he lost count of how many times he killed Payne. So the drop rate here is super, super low. You can otherwise farm the Valkyrie squad on Mayhem 4 which is a much, much, much more efficient method. But even here guys the drop rate is pretty rare. I'm going to say this is one of the rarest SMGs in the game in terms of a legendary and its drop rate. It's just utterly nuts. So why? Why is it so rare? What does this thing offer? What's special about it? Well like I said, going into creating this video I actually didn't know. Looking at it though, although it looks amazing for sure design-wise, its stats are well a little basic. Nothing here really jumps out at me. So let's dust off the Beta EMP5 and get to testing. This by the way I believe is a reference to the MP5. The Beta part I believe is a reference to CS GO where the Beta MP5 was by far one of the strongest weapons in the game. So is this one of the most powerful weapons in this game? We will see. So firstly I have to compare it to some of the other popular SMGs in the game that evolved in the Cotsman, the Libsworth and my favourites. It really doesn't seem to impress damage output-wise. Comparing it to such weapons it seems here are much better SMGs. Definitely the keeps worth. And my testings were the same fighting against ads. I mean its damage output is good but nothing amazing. Now after having a look online and being directed to Joltzmann's video on this weapon and watching that I expected way way more. I don't know what he has on his version but mine for sure does not hit like his. I think it might be because of his mole's build and using things such as cloud of lead, scorch and rpms, click click, armored inventory and a few others. It's really helping his damage output. I mean on my zane build meant for speed with the new class mod anti-freeze I can get massive damage multiplies. Well that's down to the building reality not the weapon. And in multiplies in terms of damage I got on the MP5 I was also getting on other weapons which in my opinion were just doing better. The keeps worth for one. Plus that thing lays down a healing pool. What's not to love about that thing. Now wouldn't say this weapon is bad. By all means that is wrong. The weapon is very very capable that is for sure. Now there is another variant which I'd say two times which I guess would be better. But then it consumes two bullets at the same time so it'd be spending most of your time reloading. So what else does this MP5 offer? Well it seems to have a few hidden benefits. We see it's date it has a 2.2x zoom and a 4x zoom. Well you can't actually switch between sites. So what I believe this has something to do with is the fact that when you jump your crosshair shrinks and the weapon becomes way more accurate. Also guys this weapon when you have it equipped gives you additional movement speed. I'd say quite a significant one too. Maybe 15 to 20%. So the creators EMP5 or the MP5 is a great all-round SMG capable of amazing things with certain builds. For me I feel this might be a weapon built to coexist with Zane and his new class mod the Antifreeze. Because with this class mod you gain 40% additional damage while airborne and with this weapon you gain major in air accuracy while airborne. It also gives you additional movement speed and Zane's best DPS builds or one of the best DPS builds come from movement speed. Pair them together and you are good to go guys. So yes this SMG is a true beast when paired with the right builds. Take Joltzys for instance I mean he just absolutely melts everything I'm made him for. His video by the way can be found linked within the video description. And again this under Zane build I'm using at the moment. When all damage multipliers come into play it does things not many of SMGs are capable of. Now credit to my friend TrollyDonkey for sending me this creators EMP5 for review. So shout out to him.
