 So today guys we check out what in my opinion is the most powerful assault rifle in this game. Now I recently made a top 5 assault rifles, this was not a part of them, it should have been, no doubt about it. Issue is, I've only just had it drop myself as it's quite rare. The weapon many many people look over but today we will check it out. How's it going guys, my name's DPJ and today I bring you another BR3 video. If you do enjoy it leaving a like really helps out and subscribe if you want to see more. Okay so the weapon in question today is an epic assault rifle called the cast effective optimized Q system. This epic assault rifle being an Atlas weapon is beyond anything I've experienced damage wise from any other assault rifle in this game. Now in this game I believe we have two legendary assault rifles coming from Atlas both are pretty bad though in my opinion, the optimized carrier and the rebel yell. These I've seen and used more than enough to know Atlas assault rifles ain't that great at all and I feel this may be the reason many people overlook Atlas assault rifles of any rarity variant which to be honest I think I'm guilty of myself. Now because I know there are epic and rare weapons in this game which offer a lot more than those are legendaries I sometimes make it a habit of loading in and out of sanctuary checking crazy ills, Uridium vending machine for certain weapons which I sometimes know appear which can surprise you. So I did this for about 30 minutes and then I came across this weapon the cast effective optimized Q system. When I checked out stats I was seriously surprised by what this thing offered. As you can see 883 damage times 2 damage bonuses applied but what intrigued me most about this weapon was the fact it was a 2 times variant but it didn't consume 2 ammo per shot which is super rare. So instead of actually buying this and in my opinion wasting what could be 800 Uridium I decided to do a little research on this weapon. So I jumped onto Google, wrote in the cast effective optimized Q system and I came across a couple of posts on my Reddit nafuborlands forums where people were actually talking about calling for a nerf for this weapon which I didn't and don't understand such ideas an OP weapon within Borderlands isn't like it is within other games it doesn't affect anyone or anything in reality this isn't destiny people. So yeah a few posts I saw literally people going crazy over this weapon saying it's too powerful how is it this powerful it needs a nerf this that and the other. So I jumped on my discord and asked there I asked if anybody has this weapon and I came across a couple of epic people who helped me out with this weapon so shout out to DarkSatans for this variant you can see on the screen now which is absolutely great but a massive shout out to my pal Stevo for sending me this variant which is perfect for my winter soldier build. Stevo is an admin to a great Xbox Borderlands free society upon discord willing to help anybody out you will find that discord linked within the video description which I do recommend you do check it out. So this variant even better 1084 times 2 with the Sentinel Anointment also 28 in a mag as well just amazing plus 47% weapon damage plus 21% fire it plus 19% reload speed with the best sight this weapon can have of a 1.5x zoom. So using this weapon on mayhem for within a slot shaft it just utterly melts everything within its path. Now yes the build I'm using is great and yes that helps out by the end of the day using this weapon within this build and comparing it to other weapons I'm using within this build such as the redistributor the dastardly maggie the cutsman so many others I will tell you guys this thing is unpar if not more powerful than some of these weapons and as crazy as it sounds people it's the truth I mean my first time using this I was actually in shock of how powerful this thing is I mean it doesn't offer any form of elemental benefits unless its anointment is applied like mine but even still guys it's crazy as you can see by the footage on screen now. So the weapon itself it normally comes with a scope which doesn't make it that efficient in all instances but if you do land a 1.5x sight like the one I have it's a different weapon all together it shoots smart bullets but it also has an alternate mode being a tracker grenade and we all know how that works and although it's pretty useful it isn't all that necessary so the Q system this Atlas epic assault rifle it's a must get in my opinion now this weapon is a world drop I've seen it a couple of times within it was a vending machine I've seen it drop within a slot shaft like the one you can see on the screen now this one even more powerful than the one I was sent to me by Steve Oh and it also has a decent anointment to the problem with this one is though it's got that crazy sight on it I've also seen this thing drop at grave ward and a few other places people so check those purples make sure you ain't leaving monsters like this on the floor it's a must get in my opinion and on a serious note this thing is stupid powerful guys stupid powerful over two thousand damage per shot compare that to anything else which isn't a heavy or a sniper in this game and I'll be super surprised if you find anything unpassed that whites so yeah guys the cost effective optimized Q system is an incredible Atlas epic assault rifle one that should not be overlooked now before we go join my discord linked within the video description where you can chat with hundreds of other Borderlands fans trade with many many folks and there too that is linked within the video description but on that note guys I am out if you guys enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps out if you're new around here want to see more Borderlands be sure to subscribe 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 you enjoyed the video and hopefully I'll see you on that next one we're a little boat
