 So today I bring you my top 5 assault rifles, now I will be honest, this was hard as in my opinion assault rifles are outdone by a vast number of SMGs resulting in 95% of assault rifles being banked and forgot about, but today I bring you 5 which are definitely worth your time in checking out. How's it going guys my name is DPJ and today I bring you another BR3 video, if you do enjoy leaving a like it really helps out and subscribe if you want to see more, on screen now I can see my weekly giveaway along with last week's winner, to be in with a chance of winning this yourself follow the instructions on screen now I'm good luck. Now as per usual people this is just my opinion, if yours differs and would like to think it would let me know your top 5 assault rifles in the game down below in that comment section, if there's one out there you think is a must try which I haven't mentioned do for sure let me know what that is. Ok so let's get into it people. In at number 5 we have the Star Helix. The Star Helix is a truly unique assault rifle. The stars are better off without us. This is a reference to the TV show The Expanse, seriously underrated show I may add. Now what's unique about this weapon is the way it shoots. The Star Helix fires 2 additional projectiles per shot that will meet the centre projectile at a certain distance. This can be for those smaller targets a little tricky to land off 3 shots on but those larger targets are much much easier to hit. And because of its 3 projectiles it means this thing is capable of some decent damage. The Star Helix is a world drop but it has an increased drop chance from the power troopers located on Atlas HQ on Prometheus. It can drop offering cryo radiation and shock or no element at all. But yeah guys it's a very very capable weapon, definitely shoot to certain builds over others in my opinion but it is one I do insist to at least try out because I do think it made you a surprise. Ok so let's move on. And in at number 4 we have the Shreddy Fire or the engulfing Shreddy Fire. The Shreddy Fire is a weapon I do feel people have forgotten about. It's got one of the biggest clips in the game I believe up to 110. Shreddy drops in every element the game offers or none and it utterly shreds within the right build. Now this Vlad of Fersault Rifle has 2 firing modes per weapon, Rifle and Double Chaingun or Rifle and Shotgun. Double Chaingun sees a weapon shoot from 2 different bowels at the same time and what this does indeed do is give this weapon I believe about a 25% increased fire rate. Now this is a world drop but its dedicated burst drop is the rage in Titan within the slaughter shaft. Which I've run about a thousand times and have only seen him drop it about 2 times so its quite rare. Now the engulfing Shreddy Fire is capable DPS is up there with the best assault rifles in the game but it is ammo heavy. You see yourself burning through it quite quickly. Now a few extended mad perks will help and you can get this thing closer to 200 in its clip but it still burns through the ammo. It's a weapon that drops after an all elemental effect so keep that in mind if you're looking for a decent assault rifle that shreds your in particular build. This may be just a Vlad but all in all it's a great weapon one I do feel a lot of people have forgotten about or just overlooked. Ok so moving on and in at number 3 we have the Lucian's Coole. The Lucian's Coole is a weapon which is very very popular and that's because of its party trick. Critical Hitch return 2 bullets back to the magazine and ricochets 2 bullets at the nearest enemy. Now on paper this isn't that powerful looking at it you're thinking well this don't look that great but using it on that battlefield it does some serious serious damage. Against mobs of enemies constantly getting your ammo back this thing gets to work. There is the Roland's Coole which also shares this thing's party trick. It's just that weapon is very very limited in terms of its clip size. The Lucian's Coole in my opinion is just a better weapon all around. Now every decent build I've created with Zayn like the Winter Soldier, the Scorpion, the Starship Trooper and a few others all had room for the Lucian's Coole as it adds so much to a build. Now the Lucian's Coole is an assault rifle which drops off in trial, incendiary and corrosive all equally good in their own right. It drops from my believe the loo fire within a slot of shaft as well as the Lutogram rear-rear ninkle butt but that's a rare instance for sure. But yeah people the Lucian's Coole is an amazing assault rifle, one I'm pretty certain will be in everybody's top 5. Ok so let's move on and in at number 2 we have nothing other than a Splota or a Laser Splota. Now the Splota is a weapon I refer to as a Ghostbusters gun. It's by far the most or close to the most powerful assault rifle in this game, especially paired with a dedicated build. I first saw this within the first few days of playing Borderlands 3, my power had it drop somewhere, didn't show up about it, we got into a duel and he mounted me with it before I even knew what happened. Now I'm not quite sure but it could have received a nerf somewhere down the line, I've got something in the back of my head that's telling me that but I'm not quite sure. But even still people it's still super super powerful and beholds those benefits. All I do feel this needs is perks to help bring its clip size up. Because you burn through it so quick it's unbelievable and with a bigger clip people you do have a monster of a weapon. Now the Splota also while shooting that laser beam fires out additional rockets, making it even more potent. Now the Splota comes with all elements so there's one out there for every build you can imagine. It drops from Celestral but I do believe it's also a world drop too. Now with the many different variants available in game I do feel this assault rifle could indeed be up there with the best weapons in the game build wise. And I mean that in a way there's a version for every build like I mentioned earlier. So people, the Splota is a beast, a great weapon I do recommend you seek out if you haven't had this already. Ok so we're going to move on and people, in my opinion, the best assault rifle in this game right now is nothing other than the Dick Tato. Now this might come as a surprise to some and I guarantee some won't even put this in their top 5 but for me, main in zane, this thing just works wonders. And it's an assault rifle I've had in use since the start, I've always carried at least one variant within my inventory. Now the weapon itself can come in 2 variants, other 3 times and a 6 times. The 6 times consumes 2 ammo per shot but it does at least double the damage. So that's something to think about. Now this weapon does have 2 firing modes, it has rifle and bipod. Now rifle is the standard of shooting pellets that spread, 3 or 6 but within that bipod mode you additionally double those pellets and I think you actually gain a couple more too. Not consuming any more ammo though but within that bipod mode you can't run or jump until you switch weapons or change the firing mode back to rifle. Now within that bipod mode, rocking the 6 times variant the damage is utterly crazy. As you can see on the screen now the difference between the 3 times and the 6 times under testing. Dummy. In reality damage wise the EPS yes, the 6 times variant is much higher but the 3 times variant offers a much longer lasting magazine, just at a cost of a little damage. Both variants are amazing though, adding extra clip sizes via perks is an easy thing to do also which would make this even better, especially that 6 times. Now the dictator is a world drop but it's dedicated bus drop is agonised on 9000 and terror. It also drops off in all elements, each amazing and like the sploder I do think this is a weapon that will fit a variety of builds. So yeah guys, my number one pick for assault rifles in Borderlands 3 at the moment is nothing other than the Dick Tater, a true monster. One I think many people still to this day do indeed overlook. And that is that guys, my top 5 assault rifles within the game. Let me know yours down below in that comment section.
