The hydra kinda tough like that

and its a BLUE, I have oranges and pinks and purples and pearls BUT nothing I have yet found matches this beast in terms of RAWANGRYSMASHBANG (the third smg down is for slag, kinda have to do that too on NG+ mode)

To be fair, that shotgun fires its bullets in a weird pattern, but with Gaige it doesnt matter ^^

That's a lot of damage!

When leveling Sal, I would dual wield shotguns since they were so powerful. I didn't even need to slag! Then I got to end-game... where I needed to slag. :(
