Where's The Party: Moxxi Or Mordecai?

In the video game Borderlands 2, players are faced with a decision: whether to give 10 kegs of Rakk Ale to the character Mordecai or Moxxi. Mordecai offers a sniper rifle in exchange for the alcohol, while Moxxi offers her revolver, Rubi. While some players prefer to give the alcohol to Mordecai due to his character and backstory, others opt for giving it to Moxxi for the revolver, which is considered a better weapon. Ultimately, the decision depends on the player's preferences, whether they value character interactions or the usefulness of the weapon.

Moxxi's Revolver vs. Mordecai's Sniper Rifle

In the video game Borderlands 2, players are faced with a decision: to give the 10 kegs of Rakk Ale to Mordecai or Moxxi. Mordecai, having lost a lifelong friend, wants to drink the ale to forget his pain. Moxxi, on the other hand, wants the ale to turn a profit, and she offers her revolver, Rubi, in exchange. Mordecai also offers a weapon, his sniper rifle, Sloth, in return for the ale.

Moxxi's revolver, Rubi, is a rare blue pistol that is highly sought after by players. It is considered to be a powerful weapon, especially for short to medium-range players. Some players even consider it to be game-breakingly good. Giving tips to Moxxi can also unlock other powerful weapons, such as Miss Moxxi's Bad Touch SMG, which can be useful when fighting Mordecai.

Mordecai's sniper rifle, Sloth, is also a rare blue weapon. However, it is not as well-received as Rubi. Some players find the burst fire while zoomed annoying, and the bullets fly too slowly for their liking. However, one player notes that Sloth is an above-average weapon when compared to sniper rifles of the same level, but the slow projectile speed makes it difficult to use against moving targets.

Ultimately, the decision of who to give the alcohol to depends on the player's preferences and playstyle. If the player is a short to medium-range fighter, Moxxi's revolver could be a powerful asset. However, if the player prefers long-range combat, Mordecai's sniper rifle might be a better choice, despite its drawbacks. Additionally, players might consider the characters' backstories and motivations when making their decision. While some players dislike Moxxi's profit-driven intentions, others feel sympathetic towards Mordecai's loss and understand his desire to drink.

In conclusion, both Moxxi's revolver and Mordecai's sniper rifle have their strengths and weaknesses. Moxxi's revolver is highly praised for its performance in short to medium ranges, while Mordecai's sniper rifle might be useful for long-range combat but falls short in terms of projectile speed. Players must weigh their options and decide which weapon better suits their playstyle and which character they sympathize with more before making their decision in the game.

Mordecai's drinking motive

While some players choose Moxxi for the better gun, others remain loyal to Mordecai, understanding his need to drink and wanting to support him. Ultimately, Mordecai's drinking motive is a combination of his grief and the breakdown of his relationship with Moxxi, and players must decide whether to enable his drinking or pursue a more profitable path by giving the alcohol to Moxxi.

Moxxi's profit motive

In the Borderlands video game series, Moxxi is a central character who is an NPC mission provider. She is the hostess of the Colosseum matches in The Underdome and the owner of multiple bars on Pandora. Moxxi is a caring mother and can be protective of her children and others close to her. She is also friendly and rather compassionate when fighting is not involved.

Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot is a downloadable content pack for Borderlands 3. Moxxi decides to raid the gigantic space casino known as the Handsome Jackpot, which belonged to Handsome Jack, and asks the Vault Hunters for their help. In return for their help, Moxxi offers the Vault Hunters rewards. Moxxi's profit motive is evident in this downloadable content pack, as she seeks to claim the casino's riches for herself.

In the main game, Moxxi also displays a profit motive. Players can tip Moxxi, and cumulatively large contributions to her tip jar will result in gifts to the Vault Hunter. For example, players have received the weapons Bad Touch and Good Touch, corrosive and incendiary SMGs respectively, after tipping Moxxi a certain amount.

In one mission, Moxxi's profit motive is also clear. Moxxi contacts the player and offers her revolver, Rubi, in exchange for 10 kegs of Rakk Ale. The player can also give the alcohol to Mordecai, who offers one of his sniper rifles in return. Moxxi's profit motive is evident as she seeks to turn a profit by exchanging her revolver for the alcohol.

Mordecai's best friend

Mordecai is a playable character in the Borderlands video game franchise. In the game, Mordecai lost his best friend and most loyal companion, and is looking to drink to forget his pain. Mordecai is an alcoholic bird lover, and the player is tasked with a decision: to give 10 kegs of Rakk Ale to Mordecai, or to give them to Moxxi, who will offer her revolver, the Rubi, in exchange.

Moxxi is a non-playable character in the game. She is described as "heartless" and a "bitch" by some players, who feel that Mordecai is the more sympathetic character. However, others note that Moxxi's revolver is a better in-game reward than Mordecai's sniper rifle, the Sloth.

Ultimately, the decision of who to give the alcohol to is up to the player. Some players opt to give the alcohol to Mordecai because they feel sympathy for his character and his loss, or because they like his sniper rifle reward better. Others give the alcohol to Moxxi because they want the revolver reward, or because they feel that giving 10 kegs of alcohol to one person seems unhealthy.

While Mordecai's best friend is not a character that players meet directly in the game, their death has a significant impact on the story and Mordecai's character development.

Rakkaholics Anonymous

In the video game Borderlands 2, players are faced with a decision in the "Rakkaholics Anonymous" side mission. After Mordecai's best friend and most loyal companion is murdered, he wants to get drunk, and asks the player to obtain 10 kegs of Rakk Ale for him. However, Moxxi also contacts the player, offering her revolver "Rubi" in exchange for the ale. Mordecai offers his sniper rifle "Sloth" in return.

The decision is an ethical dilemma for players. On the one hand, Mordecai is grieving and wants to drink the ale, but giving 10 kegs of alcohol to one person seems unhealthy. On the other hand, Moxxi is trying to turn a profit, but her revolver is a better weapon than Mordecai's sniper rifle.

Some players choose to give the ale to Mordecai because they feel he needs it more, or because they like his character. Others choose to give it to Moxxi because the Rubi revolver is a powerful weapon that can be useful in the game. Still, others give the ale to Mordecai but keep the revolver by avoiding turning in the mission.

Ultimately, the decision is a matter of personal preference, and players must weigh their desire for in-game rewards against their feelings about the characters and their stories.
