Ok so thanks to TrollinDonkey for this variant of the fearmonger, also to the person who let me know this did exist on my 6 different variant fearmonger video which I posted the other day. Ok so the fearmonger, an exclusive shotgun to the Bloody Harvest event which ends on December 5th. This shotgun and the various variants I actually own all in reality do act kinda the same, just varying in different elemental types. In that video of me reviewing this fearmonger and every variant I had, all 6 variants I did have were times 4 variants. What this means is they all shoot 4 projectiles per shot and you will consume 2 ammo per shot at the same time. A comment left me stated there is a super rare times 8 variant which got me really intrigued. As per usual my go2 man TrollinDonkey who is the dude to trade with on xbox who you can chat with on my discord linked within the video description had this version and sent it my way. So it does exist people and here it is. So let's take a look at it. Well firstly upon firing it I actually couldn't see it, it was firing 8 shots. To me it looks like it's just firing 4 projectiles as the usual fearmonger does. And I did numerous tests and although it seemingly did more DPS through the initial shots I couldn't actually come to the conclusion that it was firing 8 projectiles. To be honest guys this video was almost a waste of time I almost scrapped it. The thing is because it also like it states consumes 3 ammo per shot but seemingly shoots 4 projectiles also do roughly the same damage as other fearmongers on initial impact as although it's 554 times 8 which is when compared to any other fearmonger I own doing more damage it isn't a great increase. But if there are 8 projectiles that all do lingering damage it could be incredible. So I carried on trying to test, I went to various different bosses and enemies to see if I could get the answer with damage numbers but it was just stupid hard to make out. I'm absolutely glad a test dummy is coming though I could have used it here. But after travelling to multiple places I still couldn't work out if it was firing 8 projectiles I mean because obviously the initial projectile and depending on roles and modifiers and so forth plus I don't have that other fearmonger which does the same kind of stats. Some have better critical damage bonuses, some have worse, some have better weapon damage bonuses, some have worse I mean unless the stats are identical besides the times 8 and 4 it's too hard to actually compare. So I then went on to try and look in the photo mode to see if there were extra trail beams which initially I thought there was because here as you can see on the screen now it does kind of look like they are doubled up and it might be the case of actually firing 8 projectiles but because they're so closely tied together it just looks like 4. But when I switched to my solar version the exact same thing was happening with this it looked like it was shooting 8 but it was actually just 4. Now it wouldn't have made sense me testing this with my other shock variant which was in my bank but because I was already out in the wild and the only other version I had of me was my solar and even though I came to conclusion even if 4 or mod was either way that both had the same sort of trail effect it didn't really make a difference. So I went back to Sanctuary anyway just to get my other shock variant. And the exact same thing was happening with this people it does have the exact same trail effect within photo mode as the times 8 did so I almost give up guys I mean even the explosion looked the same that was until people I started shooting at the floor and then I noticed when we shoot at the floor of the times 4 variant the shock variant we see leaves behind four shock bolts within the floor then I switched to the times 8 shot the floor and I noticed in photo mode only that they do indeed seem to double up two bolts per projector and this is what it takes to even realize that it is shooting eight projectiles it's just they are so tightly together with the initial four shot each doubling up you can't tell by shooting it so this super rare times 8 variant does indeed do what it states and I will state the variant I have isn't the best I've seen one or two better variants out there which are the only other two I've seen which are times 8 so they do exist but after using it for a while I can say it's the better version in my opinion it although doesn't seem to do much more damage on initial impact but because it has eight bolts and fires eight bolts that do do lingering damage even with that lower elemental damage effect in the longer run it is indeed doing more damage and it's quite hard to see unless you slow things down really and count numbers which I have done now would I say this is the best fear monger variant well that's a hard question to actually answer due to the very I have been shock I mean if you want it for taking off shields then yes but when she was are depleted or depends on the enemy you are up against and the modifiers comparing it to my other shock variant the times four shock variant you can see the damage is higher but my times four has a better critical hit damage bonus so comparing them in reality is unfair now these stat benefits match a little better the comparison would have been fair to do now if my times 8 did have the same critical hit damage bonus and not so bad of a weapon damage negative bonus I 100% guarantee you guys it would be the much better shotgun here so yes the times 8 does exist yes it can be better and yes I recommend you trying to get your hands on it now this is exclusive to captain haunt and Luke ghost June this event only people the bloody harvest which ends on the 5th of December so you do have time to land yourself one now if you do have another version of this shotgun a times 8 and you'll play our next box you can send me a message to I am DPG or join my discord and chat with me there linked within a video description so yeah guys today I've been getting super rare times 8 fear manga a month stuff a long-term lingering damage fine eight bolts which all linger and do great damage great against shields well as you can imagine my shock variant is anyway but others do exist out there other better variants do exist out there and this is in my opinion the must-on fear manga and as you can see in the background now it's a very capable weapon against bosses for them shields and definitely against mobs of enemies so although it doesn't really look like it's doing much more in reality it is on that note we have come to the end of the video people if you enjoyed it leaving a like really helps out if you're new around here want to see more borderlands videos be sure to subscribe and if you never want to miss a video I upload you can turn notifications on by hitting that bell button but guys thanks as always first up in by hopefully you enjoyed the video and hopefully I will see you on that next one
