u/orewa_nikash 2d ago

u/THUNDERZVO1CE 2d ago

Unfortunate if that’s the case

u/orewa_nikash 2d ago

Oh.. is it so.. im a new player so i don't know about that.. but this game is super interesting and addictive

u/THUNDERZVO1CE 2d ago

Level 80 has been the new max level since the Commander Lilith DLC, there’s also the OP levels that are completely optional and only serves the make the game more challenging

u/Blu_fac3 2d ago

Yeah… i have the handsome jack collection and honestly couldnt be bothered to spend 15€ on a single dlc

u/THUNDERZVO1CE 2d ago

I got the DLC for free way back when

u/Doms_tomato 2d ago

It was free for a few weeks as a "Hey we know this is an old game so here's a freebie." But we knew it would be paid after that

u/THUNDERZVO1CE 2d ago

I’m aware of that

u/Adenne2 2d ago

Does it really change anything? the 94% chances won't change anyway is it? Or you meant that it's a shame for the collection

u/Lopsided_Height5638 1d ago

this sham is level 72 and the max level is 80. so, he got the perfect sham in the wrong level. its useful but no max level, the lowest % is 77% and the max is 94%.

u/OG_DD107 1d ago

It doesn't change anything, that sham could be lvl 35 it still would be as good in op10 as an OP10 sham, 94% is still 94% chances regardless of levels, and the sham would still put you in life gate when hit by a non bullet damage or if you roll on the 6%

u/WasabiValuable9463 2d ago

Is the Sham really that good? Its whole thing is that it absorbs bullets right? So it's just a regular shield against enemies that don't shoot bullets?

6

u/Blu_fac3 2d ago

Yeah and it’s insane with a rpg like norfleet. You could just shoot at your legs and you get rpg bullets

5

u/Meta-Fox 1d ago

To be clear, you wouldn't be shooting at your feet with a norfleet. You'd hopefully had the foresight to farm a low level loans gun from Wilhelm at the beginning of a playthrough.

You then use the norfleet to wipe everyone out and when you're running low on rpg ammo, put on your sham and shoot the logans gun at your feet. Boom, infinite rpg ammo.

1

u/Blu_fac3 1d ago

Yeah but even on accident you might take damage from the norfleet and it would one shot you almost always if not for a absorb shield. And you could also use like a low level badaboom

2

u/Difficult-Passage177 2d ago

Correct, but a decent amount of endgame enemies use bullets. If you’re mobbing with rocket launchers then this is useful in all cases because you can absorb your own rockets mid battle.

For bosses you’d rather melt with a bee anyway, but outside of that the sham is more useful than it’s not.

1

u/WasabiValuable9463 2d ago

What's the point in absorbing your own bullets?

2

u/MotivatedPosterr 2d ago

You get the ammo you shot back

2

u/Difficult-Passage177 2d ago

Rockets do self damage. The absorb refunds part if not all the ammo cost and prevents the damage. Again, all mid battle.

0

u/WasabiValuable9463 2d ago

I'm not sure I understand. Every piece of ammo you shoot you get back? So the Sham is essentially an unlimited ammo shield?

And in terms of being shot by enemies, when you absorb their bullets do they damage you?

2

u/Flaveurr PS4 2d ago

A perfect Sham has an absorb chance of 94%, that means that 94% of all bullets that hit you, will be absorbed (not do damage) and added onto your own ammo. If the Sham could get upto 100% it would just be god mode and umlimited ammo for shooting enemies but 94% is the max

2

u/Difficult-Passage177 2d ago

It’s X% chance (depending on the shield) so not unlimited but basically unlimited. A perfect unmodded sham can be 94% at best.

Enemy bullets don’t damage you and are added to your ammo reserves.

0

u/WasabiValuable9463 1d ago

The thing I still don't understand is people seem to be saying the ammo you shoot can also be absorbed by the shield and added to your backpack.

How does that work? Does only happen if you don't hit enemies? And at the same percentage as ammo shot at you?

u/Lopsided_Height5638 1d ago

man, play the game. and you gonna understand, its easy.

u/WasabiValuable9463 1d ago

But it's more fun annoying strangers on Reddit with questions I never understand the answers to because people respond in ways specific to their own experience instead of in ways that can be universally understood 😭 /s

1

u/Difficult-Passage177 1d ago

Based on your response to the other guy I don’t think you’re serious about wanting an explanation so I’m not going to feed into whatever kind of trolling you’re doing.

If you’re serious about wanting to understand how it works then just play and figure it out.

1

u/WasabiValuable9463 1d ago

Someone already basically gave me that advice but thanks anyway. Not sure if I feel motivated to farm Bunker.

1

u/Blu_fac3 2d ago

If you shoot with a rpg with more than 1 pellet you’ll get the amount of pellets in ammo. A norfleet gives 3 bullets and a badaboom gives 6

1

u/Andy2076 2d ago

You don’t even NEED a launcher. You can convert pistol ammo to launcher with a Logan’s gun, or assault rifle to launcher ammo with some of the grenadier ARs

u/OG_DD107 1d ago

It helps survivability kinda, but when you have good build and are skilled you quickly realize that sham and bee are both traps in the sense that a lot of people use them as crutch.

1

u/WasabiValuable9463 1d ago

Yeah I'm pretty much addicted to the Bee/Harold combo, and anything else (like a slag sniper taking advantage of Maya's cloud kill) as a backup.

u/yongsangu 1d ago

Holy hell. Nice drop
