The Emperor is a Legendary Weapon in Borderlands 2. This Dahl SMG is good for mid-to-long range. It has the ability to fire a large burst of bullets in a short period of time while staying pretty accurate. The Emperor is a decent weapon for getting multiple critical hits on an enemy from a moderate distance.
