Hey I was going threw my old emails and saw a fake "you win a prise" thing. I just wanted to let you know someone might be giving you a bad name. Take care, and wish you the best.

Hey, just so you know, the dove is pronounced like the name of the bird ("duhv"), NOT the past tense of dive ("dōv") also, you are mispronouncing dva. like all vladof weapons, the naming scheme comes from russian words. Dva (written "два" in russian) is pronounced "d'vah", NOT "dee-vah". it means "two".

The infinity was the weapon that really dragged me into borderlands. I remember seeing it during my first playthrough ever and thinking it was so cool. It will always be a nostalgic gun for me, it's a big part of the reason I love borderlands now. Oh yeah and zero with the infinity is super fun tbh

[@flatwoodzmafia]

Honestly this is me with it.

[@itsSmiv]

New player here, I'm curious what makes it extra fun on zero specifically?

[@fancyincubus]

The guns with special effects where the best

[@cameronsnow4470]

@@itsSmiv he gets the skill "One Shot One Kill" which makes the first shot fired from your gun do way more damage. Since the infinity is always on its first shot, it always gets the bonus.

[@Razgar_Voxel]

@@cameronsnow4470 especially with Bee Sheild lol but I ran a Siren mostly althou i had all characters at one time on either the ps3 or ps4 versions.

[@pochoboto]

When ever I think of the infinity I always think of the evil smasher glitch. When that glitch first came out the infinity was the best weapon to use for it since u never needed to reload and with the evil smasher glitch reloading ur gun could mess up the glitch. Hence why the infinity was the best for this glitch, the good old evil smasher days lol

[@ItzTermx]

I might need to cover the evil smasher, you just unlocked a memory I forgot I had.

[@Joe-hm1zk]

This was the only reason I ever used the infinity. I could never get Vermiverous to spawn so I would spend forever killing Hyperious using that glitch to try and get a Norfleet.

[@pochoboto]

@@Joe-hm1zk no matter how many times u killed hyperius with the evil smasher glitched infinity, the norfleet still wouldn't drop😭😭

[@melonpineapplepowerade5255]

my mind always goes to the xp glitch w the practice dummy, shit went crazy

[@endoftheline3206]

I wonder if there a modder who can bring that glitch back on the latest version

[@iggnham]

The “Dove” in Borderlands 1 is a reference to John Woo's movies. In his films, doves are often used as set pieces whenever the main character performs a stunt and shootouts rarely show reloads.

[@Orinslayer]

Woah I didn't know this, like this even more now.

[@Raven-Blackwing]

The Infinity was the first legendary I remember farming for, so despite being not my favorite pistol, I still keep in on my Zer0 for nostalgia.

[@blackout4465]

I spent 3 weeks farming Doc Mercy on TVM back in high school to get this damn gun, and when I finally got it I was not able to use it at all. Not because it was too weak, but because the damn DEV's couldn't lock Gaiges minimum ammo in a clip to 1 bullet, so I couldn't even shoot the stupid thing.

[@MadGamerRus]

Yeah it's hilarious that you just can't shoot some guns playing this character

[@jimmyclimer594]

Get the nod from dragons keep, chaotic neutral … I forget. It fixes it and you can farm it from the chests.

[@ThorsShadow]

I personally love the Infinity on Gaige. Just spamming an endless rain of inaccurate bullets with her two Ricochet skills is so much fun. EDIT (thanks jimmy): And obviously with all the Anarchy stacks. That's what I meant with "inaccurate bullets". Should have made that more clearerer.

[@jimmyclimer594]

And full anarchy stacks.

[@spicynips8466]

Yeah, as long as you don't have that one skill that makes you deal more damage but reduces your mag size, which you always should cause Gaige really needs the dmg boost.

[@jimmyclimer594]

@@spicynips8466 you can get an item that fixes that in the chests in the dragon keep dlc.

[@cronepure6319]

@@spicynips8466 I did this and was really disappointed the gun just doesn't shoot if you have that skill, so glad I'm not the only one!

[@FaiFan97]

i think the best way to use the infinity is to use the money shot glitch with it. genuinely very funny to hear the sound repeated that many times

[@johannesbragelmann6629]

One huge strong point of the infinity was its place within the first playthrough: The Doc Mercy quest comes quite early, just about when you begin to tumble into tougher areas. At that point ammo efficiency is a huge thing because of the still small pools to draw from. So those who got the weapon could rely onto it for quite some time...

[@POMMESZOCKT]

I found one in a random skag pile. Still one of my favorite gaming memories

[@NotebookVA]

Should note that like most weapons in bl3 the infinity gained a dedicated enemy with an increased drop chance after a patch. The anointed alpha found in the anvil has infinity in its dedicated loot pool along with the ogre and linc

[@floridaman6643]

Lame. Bl3 holds L’s

[@NotebookVA]

@@floridaman6643 game is fine, they tried something different and it didn’t work out so they fixed it. Main story is kinda mid but the expansions are fantastic

[@titanium4082]

@@floridaman6643 gameplay was nice as hell imo, but the story makes me hurt in many ways

[@PrinceSilvermane]

I remember using the Infinity on Gaige but I never was a huge fan of it in general, mainly because I just liked doing more damage rather than having infinite ammo. I also remember having an Equalizer Masher in BL1 that I effectively used as a ghetto infinity. The bullet regen was enough that I'd never run out of ammo.

[@blockheadperson1340]

When me and my dad player BL2 we always went for an Infinity, we both liked the weapon with it's infinite ammo and just easy to access location. I still use it to this day (coming up to 11 years experience), and I will always love the gun.

[@TheGuitarherorockers]

Def would like to see a video about the dpuh and how it just steamed rolled the entire meta of bl2 for a good majority of the games life. Like sure there's others that are good for certain builds but the dpuh alone just made life so much easier especially in early game

[@JAYDOG1337A]

The Infinity was actually the first Legendary I got in Borderlands 2, I got it from a weapons chest in The Dust next to the Volleyball court, it was non-element and I absolutely loved it, so it's never going to be boring to me because of nostalgia.

[@nickolasgomes703]

gosh... this pistol would go so damn well with nisha's skill tree, shame we did not have one in the prequels

[@XAlted1]

To me, the infinity is the type of gun you use when you go down or run out of ammo if that’s even possible with all the anoints n what not. It’s a supplement gun plus infinite dps. People will be upset about anything realistically, dislike toward it would be inevitable regardless of circumstances

[@Zer0MainsRiley]

I've been using the infinity more recently, it's honestly been low-key carry in me through digistruct peak

[@greekmasterpiece2147]

The infinity always had some kind of status with me that made me like it purely for that. Maybe it was because it was a low drop rate whenever I farmed it or because the idea of it having infinite ammo made it seem more valuable that I liked it and continue to. Plus the skin is kinda nice looking, has that going for it.

[@rendarcrow]

You mean like the weekend I went to my buddies and left my console on with a rubber band on the trigger in the gun range lmfao.

[@Zeracan]

Popping headshots with the infinity pistol was a minigame unto itself.

[@solanowalter92]

I liked the infinity with Zero. Getting that fire rate up and that first shot does massive damage for every shot. I gotta replay BL2 and make that build again.

[@IVIUT3D]

necromancer shocking ricochet build with the infinity was OP.

[@PillzmansFox]

Funny enough I heard of the infinity as a more than legendary weapon when I was in middle school(?) And I was told I had to take the geyser up there and fight a super boss. Now obviously that wasn't the case and many an hour had been lost to really bad timing skills but I did get it and the infinity is a good weapon, especially for loaders and constructors but low damage dies make you want to lose it soon

[@luckyswordsmen991]

The infinity pistol is good for healing for Maya , shooting with full stacks with gage, and shooting a friendly kreig so he can get salt the wound stacks without going down as fast as well as getting his buzz axe rampage, I see it a the ultimate support tool

[@Sruf.]

I'd say the infinity is an all-around fun weapon to just... use

[@corvax8644]

Bee shield episode gonna be fun

[@monasteryfounder]

The Infinity is a vital weapon for a White Mage/Support exclusive Maya.

[@ptimozf8743]

its one o those super exciting nostalgia items, where i remember watching youtube for how to farm the legendary infinity, it seemed mega cool back then :D

[@NKiwi2903]

I just recently got back into BL2 and did my first ever OP 10 Run. I played Zer0 and only used Infinities + Grog Nozzle (because its too strong). Getting to OP 10 this way was a lot more farming and pain than it needed to be, but I just love having my OP 10 Zer0 with a fire, corrosive and shock Infinity at OP 10 as my loadout.

[@Sruf.]

Infinite infinities

[@AeronHale]

I always viewed the Infinity as a backup or trashmod clearing weapon. It's rather unimpressive damage and low accuracy makes it not great for tougher enemies or bosses. Against trashmobs and such however it's a good choice because it doesn't consume ammo and generally it's damage is enough to pop them pretty quick with a decent roll and build behind it. Allowing you to save ammo for your big toys for when they're actually needed. In a pinch if you run out of ammo it will save your butt then until you can get a resupply. All in all I think while it's somewhat of a niche gun it definitely has it's uses and builds. I always like to have one on hand just in case.

[@maynardcrow6447]

I only like using it in story mode but then it falls off a cliff when playing in ultimate vault hunter mode and above.

[@christophercollins3632]

2:24 Funny how you show Doc Mercy’s location from the vantage point of someone who farms the Infinity Pistol, from outside, where they boost through the gap, rather than from the normal interior view most people would associate it with.

[@ItzTermx]

haha, I NEVER took the normal path.

[@mrsauceman6825]

I never understood the overhype and the other side of absolute hate for this gun, it was just fun and wacky lmfao

[@brendzy]

[@ItzTermx]

Thank you so much, If you have any tips to improve let me know!

[@silenc3068]

Depending on the character, the infinity can actually put in some work…And by character I mean everyone except Salvador and Maya

[@chancedavis6216]

@@silenc3068 I mean, as long as you have a Bee shield, the Infinity is pretty good on everyone

[@ronchum5178]

IMO the infinity is good DPS if you can't find any elsewhere, but the spread and nerf'd fire rate/damage compared to an anarchist gets pretty old in the higher difficulties. Also, I found myself liking the borderlands 3 version, I think the spread was tighter or something.

[@continuumediting7105]

If I pick up the infinity in the early game bl2 I love to use it for a couple levels then I get bored, for 3 I think ive used it like twice. Awesome gag gun tho, love to see it!

i just got it and am using the nechro, amazing for the perk that regens health when magazine is full.

Appreciate the love

[@Abm289]

God damn i love borderlands 2 I always keep going back to it and doing new challenge runs or new characters

[@segagamerxx6959]

Imo, making the infinity a pistol is what killed it in BL2. Pistol ammo is so common, the max capacity is nuts, and there are so many great pistol options in BL2. It would have made a better AR or sniper if you ask me.

[@Funny_Gamer100]

the infinity pistol is amazing in the early game sa a bacup weapon when you run out of ammo, more than that it's mediocer if you ask me

[@jaimewilson3644]

Just started a new play through and got infinity while doing the doc mercy quest

[@einkar4219]

I remember never playing gaige with anarchy bc I loved the infinity so much and always wanted to use it

[@ryremusic]

Nice to know I'm not alone 😂

[@pflynn12]

I certainly haven't come across it but it sounds like its similar to the BL1 eridian guns since they're infinite

[@spectraldragon09]

I personally enjoy the infinity for long boss fights like raids or high op or mayhem levels because if you go at them solo (which I do a lot) I find myself running out of ammo quite often so it's a safe backup if it's needed

[@baanfrey]

The Infinity was also good on Gaige because of Cooking Up Trouble. The skill gave HP regen when your mag was full but that only really worked out of combat. The Infinity allowed her to actively fight while keeping Cooking Up Trouble active.

[@James_Philip915]

My 13yo self was really fan of this pistol. I ran 2 with salvador rof build, quite fun

[@RuckusRugs]

Loving these videos! Keep up the good work, looking forward to more!

[@WC3fanatic997]

A Gaige with an Infinity and max stacks of Anarchy was something I hadn't even considered, since I played Axton. Could literally just tape the fire button down. Kinda glad my friend who ran a Gaige back then didn't think about that, though . . . "obnoxious" would be a _kind_ word to use, and they were already that.

[@Nemmy72]

I tend to have ammo issues in BL2, so having an Infinity as backup is super nice

[@mcbonkytron8411]

While I’m not the biggest fan of the Infinity. I always make sure to have one stashed away just in case I go to a lower difficulty for whatever reason. Not having to worry about ammo (or anything really) while still deleting enemies is very nice.

[@skagslayer7313]

I liked having one as a backup in case I used up all my ammo. That "break glass in case of emergency" gun.

[@ItzTermx]

Agreed

[@vitorvena]

The infinity was like the "hey look at what legendaries can do in this game" and i see it as the baseline for unique weapons design! Its a gun with a special effect that is useful and that comes with its own special effect thats suposed to counteract or hinder it from becoming a end all be all but unfortunately as the games went on they straued further and further away from that design philosophy with guns having extremely wacky effects that arent practical at all or even useful when properly applied or guns that were just normal guns but STRONK lol

[@MrRADicalOfficial]

Wacky effects can be cool, but if it doesn't do damage it doesn't do damage. Nobody is going to want to do a build on a weapon that can't kill an enemy in a reasonable amount of time.

[@macpatterson9750]

I feel like the infinity was always the staple farm for me as a new player. I always went out of my way to farm it because it felt like such an OP gun as a new player who didnt know about any of the other good drops or about ammo management. But as I did more and more playthroughs I realized it was not worth the time to farm it especially if you want an element.

[@mrbigglezworth42]

I’m still an old school shooter fan, so having a gun that never needs to be reloaded and is always ready to fire is exactly what I’m looking for in a gun. Mine was a personal favorite for me in BL3 because she can have theoretical infinite magazines. Exactly as intended.

[@bluegizmo1983]

Honestly, some of the most fun I've had playing BL2 was back in the day using the Vladof Launcher infinate ammo glitch and the weapons merging glitch!

[@son-lee3537]

Great back up weapon.

[@empresscarrie6230]

i understand the negative points to it but the kid in me just smiles when I hold down that trigger for as long as I want. also, obtained extremely early, very helpful there. it's not great, but I love it.

[@Nerbatsu]

I like having it, especially when leveling , as a backup for moments when ammo runs dry.

[@revert_irelia]

i just found your channel awhile ago and i love the 2023 bl2 content it's one of the best games ever made in my opinion

[@ItzTermx]

[@overlordchemm3705]

I usually pick up an Infinity at least on normal or TVHM for the hell of it. Being able to turn my brain off and listen to music or a longer YT video while going through the easier difficulties is nice, it reminds me of all the summer days I spent doing that exact same thing either alone or with friends.

[@hylianundead6445]

Maya actually makes a fun use of the the infinity since i usually spec my maya for support it gives me a constant way to heal someone without wasting ammo on them

[@DaddyVeo1911]

The first "Dove" I ever got had a x4 electrifying effect. Dog water later game, but handy in a pinch. Or if you're out of ammo

[@sagitswag1785]

I love the infinity. It makes running through borderlands 2 story a breeze when I come back to replay it every once in a while. I dont want to spend my time looting ammo so I just slap an infinity on my character and go to town.

[@dylanr3733]

Lol the thing I hate about infinity was the missuon getting doc mercy to spawn on UVM and above. The bullshit bandits e tech weapons was shit again any UVM enemies

[@ImMimicute]

The infinity holds massive nostalgia points for me alongside the kerblaster, always farm one up on a new save, but aside from that I like having one around just as a backup incase I manage to run flat on ammo, I know it's not great but its better than melee-ing to the next ammo shop

[@Ganjanysus]

I mainly used the Infinity pistol for painting slag with Krieg. When you get his stacks up and Max the fire rate you can paint scores of enemies and cause horrific bloodsplosion chains. RIP Pyro Pete.

[@alyssavanderklift9296]

infinity on gaige with a ton of anarchy and ricochet was a blast for just bonkers killing stuff around the corner. got it in my first playthrough and dang did i enjoy that gun for some shenennigans

[@smitethecanlord]

Personally I have always viewed the infinity as an "in case of low ammo" gun especially since you can get it relatively early its great for new characters when you dont have a massive ammo pool so grinding for one was always worth it for me.

[@dwightferrin7992]

I’m bias because the first time I heard of the infinity was my first Salvador play through and i grinded all the way through uvhm and when i finally got it it sucked and couldn’t kill anything, but I’ll never forget the excitement I felt for it finally dropping, 10/10 gun

[@entireanarchy2293]

I personally only use the infinity pistol on a vladolf only play through, it's nice to have at least one gun that you don't have to worry about ammo for.

[@frozenlotus3563]

My use for the word infinity is a great last resort when I’m leveling towards the end of a first play through, because sometimes you need more bullets for the sponges.

[@Masochistickoala]

I do think the infinity pistol is a novelty gun that's pretty boring but I wouldn't go as far to hate on it as the concept itself is nice.

[@03codey]

when I was low on cash mid level and no enemy seemed to want to have any drops for me, the infinity pistol saved my playthrough so many times

[@RukaDesu]

infinity is one of my favorite weapons, mostly cause the first ever time I played borderlands I was running out of bullets a lot on early game, then I discovered this weapon by sheer CHANCE... and it was love on first sight~ I usually love infinite ammo weapons on other games, but on borderlands I really just use at the start, from level 8 to 15... after that I just leave it on my backpack just in case I need an emergency gun...

[@trost7860]

I used the infinity to powerlevel my characters when I was doing something else as a kid, the marcus quests + infinity early game was the goat for leveling a new character for me

[@Munchenon]

I find the infinity to be a really fun weapon to use despite it being pretty lack-luster to other pistols you can get around the same time

[@williamthomas6106]

The infinity with the bee is devastating, but it certainly gives you a glass jaw. When your bee shield gets hit, you might as well be showering the enemy with spittle. Better to find another weapon that has better hitting power that can do some damage even when the Bee is discharged. I like the lady fist and it's 800% critical damage. It can also really pop off with a Bee, but also it's 800% crit damage isn't shabby when Bee isn't full strength

[@tropixi5336]

never knew about the dove

[@KonoNana]

To me the infinity is in a very simple spot: A backup weapon u use when you somehow completely run out of ammo. Or used on absolute trashmobs when your main weapons have high ammo consumption and it'd actually be a waste in that situation to avoid running out of ammo in situations you'd rather have some.

[@limpyleg1570]

2 barrels but 1 gets used

[@brotbrotsen1100]

I have fond memories of it. When i first played the game i played coop with my cousin and he told me about the pistol, since he finished the game with another character already he knew during our playthrough playthrough that the next Story Mission is full of loader bots. I told him jokingly that i just pick up a infinity corrosive pistol pretty fast before we start. Well I went there just for fun and the dude instantly dropped a corrosive infinity pistol. We had the time of our lives afterwards, whenever he wanted a specific gun he told me to start my magic, sadly it was a one trick pony lol.

[@pauloricardo-wn6ps]

[@finishednebula8460]

Always loved the infinity, running it with fl4k trying to get as many crits possible is a challenge and definitely helps outpace the boring factor of the gun

[@Sketchisawesome]

I always liked how they never made the infinity slag. They know you only use the infinity if you're low on ammo but if you had a slag one it would be broken

Great video, cap on b3 having better scaling at least in endgame, if you don't have the right anoint (or the fact that theres 1939483 legendaries but only like maybe 50 are aight or better) then you'll be in pain on mayhem 10 or 11
