 So, within the latest patch, which should be applied to your game by now, Gearbox changed a few weapons and the way they work. Today we test the main weapon which received a nerf, that being the LUB. 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 LUB went from the gutter to being one of the best or the best and most powerful weapon in this game. They applied some serious changes to it a while back now and these changes we can see on the screen now. They increased its magazine size, they greatly increased damage per tick and it went from firing one projectile orb to firing three. And the outcome was crazy people. The weapon became like I said one of the most powerful in the game and it was capable of making every encounter the game threw at you a walk in the park. And in reality it was the start of many people thinking Gearbox had changed their ways about how they nerf items and our favourite items going forward. But even with this way of thinking we still, while many of us still thought it was just a little bit too powerful of a weapon. Let's not lie, the LUB was OP. Today with the April 2nd 2020 patch they nerfed the weapon changing its core mechanics as follows. Increase fire rate and reduce projectiles back down to one from three. So projectile wires we only get one now, like originally. But we can see we keep that weapons based damage, the magazine size and we also get increased weapon fire rates. Whereas before this patch it was a stat value of 4.75 roughly but now it's dropped down to 1.7 which is an increase of 35%. So it fires 35% quicker than what it did before people and you definitely feel that. Now as for its damage it's still a mighty weapon, it's still stupid but taking away those two orbs due to that extra tick damage doesn't need drop its damage significantly, definitely in terms of maximum damage output. But because it deals so much damage via that one tick in all people the damage really isn't that noticeable until you fire off against those bigger bosses in which you still do major damage anyway. So in reality guys it has in reality received their damage nerf but it's still a great great weapon and still won the most powerful in the game without a doubt. And because that increased fire rate it's almost easier to use and because you can shoot quicker now you can still lay off that orb ticking damage almost as quick as before. You know what I actually think I prefer the weapon the way it is right now as crazy as that seems in my opinion makes for a better fit. The nerf I ain't mad about though because we are still left with an amazing weapon and in reality a slight nerf was needed. What gearbox I've done here is buffed at the same time to compensate that reduced damage via taking away two of the three orbs. Now the major damage output drawback you will notice if you use skills such as Sane's playing dirty skill where the first five shots after a kill have a chance to double up those shots. Pre-patch those three orbs would turn into six orbs dealing incredible damage. Now that one orb will turn to two and that's where you would have seen a crazy difference. But all in all guys I don't think this nerf is as much as a nerf as we first thought it's nothing like what they did to the flacker that thing is just I don't even know what happened to that thing it smiles miles ahead of that for sure. So yes people the lube is still a monster of a weapon and still one of the best this game offers. Now if you don't know this lube is a world drop but it's dedicated bus drop is grave ward so if you want to farm for this thing that's where you get it. So yeah guys my thoughts on the lube post-patch it's still a great great weapon it's increased fire rate in reality kind of makes up for the reduced orbs it fires taking it down from three to one as it was originally. I mean you can fire that quick now you can almost spawn three orbs via shooting just very slight delay between each. Before this patch that was not possible at all you could fire nowhere near this quick and like I said you see that with that 35% fire rate increase and it's really noticeable.
