General Pistols

Can be broken into two groups:

• Pistols, the standard.
• Revolvers, increased damage and shot cost.

General Rifles

• Elemental Effect Chance increased.
• Critical Hit Damage reduction removed.
• Ammo drops give 21 instead of 18 ammo.

These are the few things that suck on Rifles.

General Launchers

Can be broken into two groups:

• Light Launcher, the standard.
• Heavy Launcher, increased damage and shot cost.

Launchers have been rebalanced to be closer to BL1 and BL3. Key changes include:

• Damage reduced.
• Clip Size increased.
• Reload Speed increased.
• Ammo pool increased.
• Ammo drops at the same rate as Snipers.
• Can regenerate ammo.

Plays the role of being a fairly easy to use burst damage option with a large downtime. Rather than a slightly disappointing super gun.

Bandit

Bandit Guns have had their gimmick expanded since it lacks both usefulness and personality. Notable changes include:

• Launchers are classed as a Heavy Launcher, gaining increased damage and ammo consumption.
• Guns can fire twice randomly or instead get increased projectile counts.
• Worse Min Accuracy but better Max Accuracy, to support a close-mid range hip fire heavy play style.
• Damage increases.
• Ricocheting bullets.

• Reload Speed increased.
• Clip Size reduced.
• Has a chance to fire twice.

Dahl Guns have been given changes to lessen carpal tunnel and be slightly less part dependent. Notable changes include:

• Standard burst count of 3.

SMGs

Hyperion

Hyperion Guns haven't been given any major changes, mostly special gear has been changed.

Pistols

No changes.

SMGs

No changes.

Shotguns

• Clip Size increased.

Hyperion Shotguns feel the closest to an automatic shotgun, so the clip size was bumped up for it.

Snipers

• Fire Rate increased.
• Stablises faster during ADS.
• Spread reduced further during ADS.

Boosting fire rate really helps with their damage output and inverse recoil.

Jakobs

• Snipers are usually Bolt-Action with massively increased base damage.
• Pistols are classed as Revolvers, gaining increased damage and ammo consumption.

• Classed as a Revolver, gaining increased damage and ammo per shot cost.

Rifles

No changes.

Shotguns

No changes.

Snipers

• Always Bolt-Action, gaining a massive damage increase and massive fire rate reduction.

Maliwan

While Maliwan hasn't been given direct changes, it has benefited greatly from the overhaul to Elemental Effect. Notable Changes Include:

• Pistols are classed as a Revolver, gaining increased damage and ammo consumption.
• Launchers are classed as a Heavy Launcher, gaining increased damage and ammo consumption.
• No increased ammo consumption from certain E-Tech Parts.
• Elemental Effect Damage and Chance is moved to the base stats so it benefits more from stat multipliers.

Pistols

• Classed as a Revolver, gaining increased damage.

Didn't actually get the ammo per shot cost increase, since they always felt a bit lacking even with splash. Even with this they have lower base damage than Jakobs and Torgue which are two other types that are classed as Revolvers.
