 So today we take a look at one of the 8 new Mayhem 2.0 level 6 or above exclusive legendaries and it's a new Maliwan SMG. Well is it any good? How's it going guys? My name is DP and today I bring you another BR3 video. If you do enjoy it leaving a like really helps me out and subscribe if you do want to see more. So the DNA, the new Maliwan SMG is an exclusive drop to General Tront upon Desolation's edge and can drop in a few different variants all offering well an all-in-one elemental setup. That's because this seems quite a trick, it shoots two bursts of random elemental shots which can be any of the elements the game offers. So this Mayhem 10 variant we can see on paper isn't the most powerful but for sure ain't the weakest SMG in the game. Now the thing about Maliwan SMGs in Borderlands 3 is they're either amazing or not so amazing and those amazing ones are rare. The Cotsman is definitely amazing, the kid's worth people would argue is amazing. In my opinion the Tsunami is an underrated amazing weapon but there ain't many others I can think of that I would say that are that great. So what about this? How would I rate it? Well firstly looking at the way it performs you'd argue that it's trying its hardest to be a hybrid of the Tsunami with those random elements as well as the Cotsman with its projectiles and how they are kind of similar just a smaller version of those what we see from the Cotsman but here they shoot at some weird angles. So going back to this on paper we see rocks a small magazine size and does consume 2 ammo per shot so even though it has a slow fire rate it still gets through its mags quite quick and if I'm honest with you guys after using it for a few hours now trying to mix up my build to suit this weapon I'm going to tell you straight I don't rate this thing at all in my opinion it just can't make its mind up on what it wants to be I mean I can see potential in an elemental build but besides that it offers nothing to you the problem it has is the fact that it doesn't fire a single element which I know sounds bizarre but for the most part playing this game we pick weapons and elements to match that what we're going into the problem with this is the fact you don't actually know what you are getting and when you do see that spark of extra damage due to the element being right it disappears as soon as you see it and this just makes to it in my opinion being a super inconsistent weapon I mean the gameplay you can see in the background now playing on mayhem 10 yes but it's struggling against in my opinion what are basic enemies which isn't good at all and what's worse about this is this same build usually takes even worse weapons and makes them look semi decent so it isn't good here so yeah people as much as this weapon seems decent on paper and I know it's pie trick seems unique it actually in my opinion is the weapons down for if this weapon constantly fired a certain element but had random additions of other elements thrown in it would be a great great weapon it'd be an incredible weapon I'd rate it with the best maloan smg's in this game but I'm afraid it doesn't work like that so in my opinion it joins the list of maloan smg's which are just not good enough but hey guys if your opinion differs let me know why and let me know the setup you're using this with but yet that is my opinion on the dna an exclusive drop on mayhem 6 or above I will say though this is well you're super rare for me I mean I must have killed this dude about 40 times before seeing any variant drop now I'd say it isn't worth your time trying to get if you ain't got it already but if you see a sparkler hope within this weapon you know where to get it but 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 boylands be sure to subscribe and if you never want to miss a video upload you can turn 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
