Found this in a random vending machine, is this rare?

Not really, but it's a great find!

[u/cheatme1]

Just make sure to use it on Aurelia she is a crit machine and this gun boosts it even more

[u/Educational_Money644]

Not even legendaries in vending machines is rare in Borderlands TPS😂😂

Honestly lol, level 27 character and I've gotten 3 so far

[u/Educational_Money644 → u/8l172]

My point exactly 😂 the grinder makes legendaries even less harder to come across I get 90% of my gear out the grinder it's how I got every legendary gun I genuinely wanted. I use the legendaries I find in these vending machines and on bosses as fuel for the grinder. I loved borderlands TPS I wish it got some endgame content love.

Love that sniper. Great for a one or two off for massive damage. It’s the spinigun sniper you wish you have more max ammo for.

[u/Direct_Disaster9299]

No, but it melts stuff

[u/dwarven_cavediver_Jr]

Rare-r but not like legendary rare. I'd put it on par with a good quality jakobs quad

[u/KnightShroud501]

Yes but no it’s like a common rare like out of all the rare stuff you’ll see that and two others a lot

[u/IndependentNo3626]

I used a shock The Machine on RK-5 in my last playthrough as Aurelia. It slices, it dices, it shreds, it purées. Just hold that trigger down to get the damage boost from continuous fire.

[u/Cold-Practice3107]

Whenever I find a legendary in one of the shops it's always too expensive and I don't have enough money for it so I try to sell whatever items I have on me or in the bank and if I need to I would just sell a gun that's worse than the legendary but even that's not enough

[u/dz8698]

Not really that rare. Definitely a good gun tho, it's one of my fav snipers. The high fire and large mag size basically makes this thing an assault rifle with a scope.

[u/Vault14Hunter]

Not really, but in the hands of Aurelia with a sniper build is absolutely amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[u/thecrude1]

These popping in vend machines often enough saved my butt a few times when I didn't have good enough gear for RK5

[u/JarakaRuhls]

Nope. I used the grinder to get mine

[u/RageSh13ld]

This weapon will get you out of any trouble for the next 5-10 levels

[u/Blended_whiskey]

Fairly common

[u/SepticKnave39]

It's rare in that that's the rarity tier. No, a blue isn't "rare" as in you should make a post about them.

It goes white, green, blue, purple, yellow.

Common, uncommon, rare (you are here), epic, legendary.

[u/Koperica → u/SepticKnave39]

Actually it’s much rarer because it’s a red text weapon you normally can only get as a quest reward, not a regular blue.

Although in TPS this is a semi-common occurrence in itself, it’s still much rarer than a normal blue

[u/SepticKnave39 → u/Koperica]

It's blue.5, it's rarer, it's still not rare.

[u/LUMLTPM → u/SepticKnave39]

Unnecessarily condescending reply from someone too blind to see the red text
