 So, recently a few weapons got buffed and today we take a look at another one, and that is the moon fire. This one actually received a buff and a second hidden buff they didn't mention. Has it gone guys, my name is DPJ and today I bring you another BR3 video, if you do enjoy leaving a like really helps out and subscribe if you do want to see more. So the moon fire pistol in my opinion was a great weapon prior to being buffed in the latest April 2nd hotfix patch. Now credit to Z Karma who I believe was the first to figure and cover this, he goes into great detail on the buff supplied to the moon fire and you can check out his channel where you'll find that video linked in the video description. So he figured the moon fire got roughly a 35% damage buff of its prior self, which was applied with the April 2nd hotfix. The moon fire's party trick is that every third shot is an amped shot, but what's changed here, what wasn't mentioned within a hotfix patch notes, and that is the fact that the amped shot now deals around at 200% damage mark, whereas before I believe it was close to that 120% mark, so quite a jump for sure. Now the moon fire itself in my opinion was a great weapon prior to this buff, was a buff actually needed, well they ain't too sure there, I mean I know many people who love this weapon and how it just feels great to use and in fact it was quite powerful already, it's a snappy weapon, pinpoint accurate and within my original testing way back when this was dropped, I don't remember it feeling weak at all. Well either way guys, it's been buff now and now it is an incredible pistol, and yes on paper there are definitely stronger pistols and there might even be better all round pistols in the game, but as I'm playing with this now, it's hard to think of a better all round pistol if I'm honest with you. Now the moon fire is an exclusive pistol to Walton, the invincible within the Malouan takedown raid, which I will state, it's kind of a rare drop, I mean I've farm this dude countless times over the past few days and I've only seen a couple of these drop, none actually being the ones I wanted, it does come up in all elements too which is absolutely awesome. Now the variants in review for this video were sent to me by a couple of pals, format a Kraken arranges mad, so credit to those guys in supplying me the weapons to make this video possible. So using the moon fire as of now, it for sure feels like a great great weapon, it makes easy work of basically everything within the slaughter shaft, with my original testing I can't remember if this was the case, I remember it feeling quite good, I don't remember it feeling weak like I said, but since the Walton raid has dropped, we have had many new additions to the game like the seeing dead class mod for Zayn which just changes him all around, which in itself basically helps everything with Zayn going forward, which is probably why the slaughter shaft feels so easy with this weapon, whereas like I said I can't remember that being the case prior, within my initial testing of this moon fire. Now one thing I will state is running around with this in the slaughter shaft, I mean it's a beast of a weapon when you've got the correct build to back you up, I mean me running my winter soldier build right here, I mean as you can see it's more or less just popping off and everybody making easy work of everybody in the slaughter shaft, but when my action skills do run out, although I can think of many many worse pistols in the game, a few come to mind which I'd probably take over this within the instance of me not having an action skill in use, weapons such as the Maggi and definitely the Hydro Frost even though that acts more like an SMG, it is on paper a pistol and that is just an absolute monster of a weapon for sure, but in terms of all around a beast of a weapon within your action skill, outside of your action skills, if you have the correct moon fire and like I said the do come within many different variants with all elements, it is a hard weapon to match in terms of everyday use, I'm not saying it's the best in the game but it's definitely up there with the best in the game, pistol-wise anyway, and although I'm not sure this patch was really necessary, one thing I will say is it did kind of fall under the radar, I wasn't seeing many many, I mean I like I said I got a couple of friends who loved this thing, but for the most part it did kind of fall behind, I didn't see many people using this thing and that could be why Gearbox has decided to buff this thing, it seems they are buffing many weapons people are forgetting about, or weapons that are just in general underpowered, I don't think this one was underpowered though, and it for damn sure is not now, it's a great great weapon, I mean it will assist you in many instances this game does throw at you, especially if you are a pistol lover, so yeah guys the moon fire is now definitely up there in my opinion with the best pistols in the game, definitely a weapon I feel you can switch up your pistol play with and I feel you will definitely feel some benefits, and I mean you can see in the background now the footage of it in this lot of shaft I mean that third shot is just ridiculously powerful and it makes easy work of the most difficult enemies within this lot of shaft, again Credit to Z Karma for the details on natural buffs of this weapon, it saves me doing all the calculations and if I can help a fellow Borderlands 3 content creator out in any way possible I will do so, so yes Credit to Z Karma who does great into the nitty-gritty details of many many weapons and if you're into that kind of thing you should definitely check him out and show him some love, again his channel can be found linked within that video description, but guys on that note we have come to the end of the video if you guys enjoyed it leaving a like really helps out if you're new around here want to see more Borderlands be sure to subscribe and if you never want to miss a video I upload content notifications on by hitting that bell button but guys thanks as always for stopping by hopefully enjoyed the video and hopefully I will see you on that next one
