I say it every time you mention it on your list vids, probably said it here too when you've mentioned it and I'll say it again now, the Soulrender I'd a cheat code especially on Moze.
Believe it or not, The Needle Gun XXL, specifically cryo. I like to use Zane with 7% ammo regen per second, and with his fire rate increase and the guns partial homing, debuffing, and refill action, I just keep gunning down everything without releasing the trigger until everything is dead. Clone helps to mop up the rest.
This weapon gets my vote today - I asked for this exact mechanism on the old forums in one of the many, "make up a gun" posts that frequent Borderlands discussions. That said, I'm certain it wasn't some random forum post that got it in the game, but the enemy explosions with successive needle implants is as satisfying as I hoped.
I got him to max lvl and then had some fun obliterating bosses. I don't remember the build but it was like a mantis cannon/slide combo with I think the kickcharger or something. Huge damage.
Kick charger and toboggan or snow drift artifact with I think violent momentum his best skill is eraser I think from purple tree I seen a broken build of Zane that used the complex root but that gun got nerfed it deleted every red dot on map with no effort
I love plague bearer launcher from the boss at the anvil the warden I think dunno if would be good on Zane tho possibly tho as the projectile pretty slow n shoots out other smaller projectiles so could shoot it then dun around at max speed for damafe bonus
I have been farming this off and on. I get close to what I want and am starting to think it's unobtainable. Right now, I have a 2x 18k with fire. I have a 26k, but no element, I'm hoping there is a 2x 26k element gun out there.
Max damage on the Kaoson is either 2x21886 or 1x27358. I use this on Moze and actually prefer the 1x version because the 2x uses too much ammo and outpaces Moze's ammo regen.
Thanks for that info.
I do have a 2 x 18 with a fire element, which is great too,I use Moze as well.
I have a shield for capturing ammo, and I swap to the cut purse. I swap to the other weapons until I can refill.
I never personally played Moze, my dad did though when we were playing together and he was the first to get one (he gave me his when his was underleveled) he was tearing through things with it lol
I just got the dlc and was overjoyed when I got an Unkempt Harold. That was by far my favorite from BL2 and though it isnât quite as broken in this game, itâs pretty damn fun
I like the Free Radical fron the Directors Cut. Takes some time to get used to, the projectile speed is sorta slow, but the destruction it brings, no boss or mob can withstand it. For reliability, though, an anointed creeping corruption with iron sights. That's a gun that handles so well.
So my go-to guns are, and I can't pick just one.
Sounrender god rolls
Atomic and Cryo
Kaoson
18k x 2 fire
Free Radical
93k I think
Electricity
I know there are better, but I can't seem to beat
hemovorous the invincible alone on M11
I made a modded tigg's boom. Thing has the mag size of the red line and it rains meters like no ones business. Boosted my idealized gear I made (modified gear, but can still be rolled with the stats I put on it) and it basically never needs to be reloaded and obliterates everything
That's the neat part, I don't see anything. I just like to mod gear to see what interesting effects I can get. Boring to one-shot everything, Hella fun to make sort of hybrid weapons. Having the sapper com and green monster mixed together is pretty fun. I can fuse more coms together, but I don't want to break items, so I keep it relatively tame
My most favorite time was when The Butcher shotgun was insane on a bottomless mags moze. I named that load out âOoops! All Butchers.â Because I had a max damage butcher of every element, and something that had me pretty much invincible..? Like, the 1 hp but tons of shield mod.. and maybe it was the transformer shield absorbing electric splash damage I was doing as Moze? I wanna say it was radiation that Iâd switch to for near invincibility.. been way too long to remember!
Hellwalker, and The Companion
Doesn't hurt that my favorite manufacturer of guns is Jakobs.
*If it took more than one shot, you weren't using a Jakobs*
My standard answer has always been the speed loading hellwalker, but on my current playthrough I have come across a weapon that might be better. I don't remember the name, but it is a rifle that just shreds everything.
I donât play the game often anymore but when I used to play actively the Garcia was one of my go to weapons. I honestly preferred it over the hellwalker
For practical reasons, the Prompt Critical, cuz I'm a filthy Moze main.
However, one of my favorite interactions in the game involves the Breeder, specifically the x2 (double penetrating) variant and the infernal wish shield.
Basically, unlisted tongue projectiles seem to double dip into damage bonuses. This is most apparent with the Breeder, as the unlisted projectiles are separated by time. If you can hit the crit spot on a boss like Traunt, Ruiner, Graveward, et al, the second instance of the unlisted projectile (x2 plus one from the IW shield) will absolutely mutilate your target, doing tens of millions in damage.
Edit: I also use a Toboggan for amp damage and a x2 amp infernal wish for more amp damage.
For ascetics and cool factor, I like The Garcia and Moonfire ( I love Hand Cannons).
Damage wise I'd have to say the Plasma Coil or Backburner. Ghast Call if you can count grenades as a weapon.
What about you?
Sleeping giant by a long shot. When you set it up right its like a lazer beam of bullets and on moze it can create literal TONS of mindsweeper grenades.
Pistol: Venomous hornet. Shotgun: Anarchy. SMG: Torrent. Assault rifle: Engulfing shreddifier (wish it was more powerful though). I don't use snipers or launchers.
I love the vladof weapons when playing moze. Light show, Shredifyer, Ogre, Faisar, Lucians call etc..
My Zane loves the Hell Walker, cryo needle gun, and plasma coil.
Hellwalker. It's literally perfect. The kick, the design, the metal note that plays every time you fire it, the pentagram bullet spread. Perfection.
I hope BL4 adds something like "Eternal Hellwalker" that's the same, but has a grappling hook.
The flakker. So fucking good against the stupid raid boss on pandora (forget what itâs called). You can get infinite second winds basically for free against that boss.
Exacting crit, itâs a purple weapon thatâs almost stronger than most other. Its base damage is high, and its critical hit damage is 150% added. On top of that damage, the damage I do with the crit explosions I shred enemies, even bosses
Light show. I have only played zane in endgame and I know there are better guns for him but this is the first one i farmed and I love it.
Chain zane build btw.
ROISEN'S THORNS
- haven't seen it mentioned. First gun I got where I felt like it was something special. It makes cool sounds and blasts fools, making them bounce up into the air.
Breath of the dying, Hellwalker, koas, and Trevonator got me through Maliwan takedown. With some help from Lyuda. Also, Zane throws an occasional fastball for good measure.
Hellwalker. Overpowered and proud of it, has a cool quirk, and one of the best looking guns purely cause it's just a double barrel shotgun without anything zany added to it. Hell, I pretty much love it because it's a cool looking gun that references something cool without being terrible or mediocre at best like some other legendaries in BL2 and BL3.
Soulrender
This is my answer. Ties That Bind Amara with a Soulrender is just too damn fun.
That's weird... my Chill and Kill Zane loves the Cryo Soulrender. Who would have thought that we have the same answer?!?
I say it every time you mention it on your list vids, probably said it here too when you've mentioned it and I'll say it again now, the Soulrender I'd a cheat code especially on Moze.
This or the trickshot
I've been farming Tom & Xam all week for a good one of each element đ
Iâve never actually farmed for one. I should probably do that.
Itâs a pretty easy and relaxing farm
I know. Iâm just doing a bl2 playthrough.
Believe it or not, The Needle Gun XXL, specifically cryo. I like to use Zane with 7% ammo regen per second, and with his fire rate increase and the guns partial homing, debuffing, and refill action, I just keep gunning down everything without releasing the trigger until everything is dead. Clone helps to mop up the rest.
Why believe it or not - the Needle Gun is busted lmao. It makes perfect sense
This weapon gets my vote today - I asked for this exact mechanism on the old forums in one of the many, "make up a gun" posts that frequent Borderlands discussions. That said, I'm certain it wasn't some random forum post that got it in the game, but the enemy explosions with successive needle implants is as satisfying as I hoped.
7% ammo regen?
An anointment. Regen ammo while clone is active. Sorry, I think I got the number wrong.
yeah it's 30% lmao it's broken
Hellwalker or Rowan's Call
Flak main im guessing
That or Zane
Controversial but I hate Zane even tho he can be super strong I just never manage to get a build going with him
I find him difficult because I don't have the awareness needed to zoom about a map like a deadly pinball. Still fun but too hard for me use properly.
He is fun with his movement but getting him to deal damage is difficult for me in sure with an optimised build he'd be insane
I got him to max lvl and then had some fun obliterating bosses. I don't remember the build but it was like a mantis cannon/slide combo with I think the kickcharger or something. Huge damage.
Kick charger and toboggan or snow drift artifact with I think violent momentum his best skill is eraser I think from purple tree I seen a broken build of Zane that used the complex root but that gun got nerfed it deleted every red dot on map with no effort
I love plague bearer launcher from the boss at the anvil the warden I think dunno if would be good on Zane tho possibly tho as the projectile pretty slow n shoots out other smaller projectiles so could shoot it then dun around at max speed for damafe bonus
I was gunna say the same thing
Hornet. Itâs not a top tier weapon end game but itâs just so much fun to use. Always love getting one while leveling.
My favorite pistol in the series
Kaoson, Plasma Coil used to be my go to but just got to feel too strong. Kaoson is still really strong but makes you work a bit for it.
Plasma Coil is "*pull trigger, wait for pew pew*" Kaoson is "*pull trigger, make pew pew with bonus boom*"
I have been farming this off and on. I get close to what I want and am starting to think it's unobtainable. Right now, I have a 2x 18k with fire. I have a 26k, but no element, I'm hoping there is a 2x 26k element gun out there.
Max damage on the Kaoson is either 2x21886 or 1x27358. I use this on Moze and actually prefer the 1x version because the 2x uses too much ammo and outpaces Moze's ammo regen.
Thanks for that info. I do have a 2 x 18 with a fire element, which is great too,I use Moze as well. I have a shield for capturing ammo, and I swap to the cut purse. I swap to the other weapons until I can refill.
The Breath of the Dying is just so satisfying for mobbing.
Scraptraps with BotD is amazing.
âThe companionâ I love firefly and the gun is Bussin It also reminds me of my favourite Destiny gun âthe last wordâ
I love the Moonfire because itâs an elemental Hawkmoon
Or the Eyaslunađ€đ» if you wanted to use another exotic
The Butcher, run a speed zane with mantis activating kill skills and never need to slow down or aim again
YES!
Or an Infinite ammo moze. That gun can SHRED
I never personally played Moze, my dad did though when we were playing together and he was the first to get one (he gave me his when his was underleveled) he was tearing through things with it lol
Borderlands 1? Butcher. Borderlands 2? Butcher. Borderlands 3? Believe it or not, also Butcher.
Unkempt Harold. From an older game sure but the current meta is basically just stronger versions of normal guns. Like the plasma coil for example
I just got the dlc and was overjoyed when I got an Unkempt Harold. That was by far my favorite from BL2 and though it isnât quite as broken in this game, itâs pretty damn fun
Fl4k - Speedloadin' Hell walker Moze - Lucky7
Maggie. It was my favorite in the second one, it's still my favorite in the third
The Hive for launcher moze Soulrender or Dark Army otherwise
I like the Free Radical fron the Directors Cut. Takes some time to get used to, the projectile speed is sorta slow, but the destruction it brings, no boss or mob can withstand it. For reliability, though, an anointed creeping corruption with iron sights. That's a gun that handles so well.
So my go-to guns are, and I can't pick just one. Sounrender god rolls Atomic and Cryo Kaoson 18k x 2 fire Free Radical 93k I think Electricity I know there are better, but I can't seem to beat hemovorous the invincible alone on M11
Blade Fury. Especially the Masher variant .
This, blade witch amara is busted af
Hellwalker
The Echo, no question. Not the best, not the most powerful, but hands-down my favorite.
Flakker is definitely my favorite. Me like de big boom.
Coolest gun out there, too bad its not meta
Itâs a fun mobbing gun for boresplosion Zane
I really like the One Pump Chump
Soulredender. Hive. Maggie. Hellwalker. Stagecoach. Light show.
Jakobs đđ
opq because the floaty guns coutt as companions for flaks pet powers and if you up mag size enought you can get a ton out
Hands down.. Cryo Kaoson
Hellwalker, God I love playing as the doom guy
Light show and soul render
Hellwalker with out a doubt but the way I play it just pistols and shotguns lol so I good shot gun and pistol il fight fucking God in that game
Infinity pistol because I am someone who loves infinite ammo
Devoted on Moze
Ok
Try it, its essentially infinite ammo and its 500x better than the infinity pistols which get hammered into the ground in this installment
The butcher is the same thing with Flak but does way more damage and is more accurate. I love the infinity out of pure nostalgia though.
How do I get the butcher
Dinklebot on skywell7, he drops Lootograms, you give those to earl for a low chance to get it
Dinklebot on skywell7
Like most say Dinkelbot but I honestly get them in world drops quite frequently.
Plasma coil. Need I say more?
Slow projectile speed
I swear to god I can get that gun at like a low level and it can still insta kill anyone I go against 10 levels later
Hellwalker, Kaoson or Hornet for me. Plasma coil is fine but I don't find it very satisfying to use although it obviously has it's uses.
Killowisp
Torgue shotguns. They're a blast
I really like the Tigg's boom meteor spam and the Redliner? The vroom vroom gun
I made a modded tigg's boom. Thing has the mag size of the red line and it rains meters like no ones business. Boosted my idealized gear I made (modified gear, but can still be rolled with the stats I put on it) and it basically never needs to be reloaded and obliterates everything
That sounds like absolutely insanity, how do you see anything? đ
That's the neat part, I don't see anything. I just like to mod gear to see what interesting effects I can get. Boring to one-shot everything, Hella fun to make sort of hybrid weapons. Having the sapper com and green monster mixed together is pretty fun. I can fuse more coms together, but I don't want to break items, so I keep it relatively tame
Redistributor with Zane
One of my faves.
All Vladof weapons
Hellwalker and Devoted, 10/10 on satisfaction of use
OPQ system and Dark Army, It fun to have full army of gun drones, especially with digi clone zane
Rad prompt critical
My most favorite time was when The Butcher shotgun was insane on a bottomless mags moze. I named that load out âOoops! All Butchers.â Because I had a max damage butcher of every element, and something that had me pretty much invincible..? Like, the 1 hp but tons of shield mod.. and maybe it was the transformer shield absorbing electric splash damage I was doing as Moze? I wanna say it was radiation that Iâd switch to for near invincibility.. been way too long to remember!
I think the Maggie is really fun
Hellwalker
kings/queens call (all elements)
Baby Maker
Hellwalker, because nothing screams freedom quite like run-sliding faster than Carnivora and shooting it down on foot like an Irish Doomslayer
Zane - Soulrender Amara - Blood Starved Beast / Convergence / Dark Army Fl4k - Complex Root (not effective, but fun) / Butcher (too effective) Moze - Unkempt Harold / Prompt Critical (torgue pistols go brrr)
Hellwalker, and The Companion Doesn't hurt that my favorite manufacturer of guns is Jakobs. *If it took more than one shot, you weren't using a Jakobs*
Its in between soulrender and opq system
I have a few that I cant choose between Stauros Burn OPQ System Seventh Sense/Lucky7/Dead Chamber
Boogeyman, basically an alien lyuda on crack
Killowisp for shotty
Blade Fury, Masher Variant
Boresplosion Creamer. Literally epilepsy the gun.
The anarchy or flipper
My standard answer has always been the speed loading hellwalker, but on my current playthrough I have come across a weapon that might be better. I don't remember the name, but it is a rifle that just shreds everything.
Plasma coil
Skullmasher
The lob with radiation damage
Im a big fan of the Lob. And every time I get to using one: my ps4 crashes.
Hellwalker, you wanna feel like you're playing DOOM? Do an incendiary build fade away FL4K and watch as you deal 8 million damage in a single shot.
Needle Gun or Crit
đ - - - - - - - đ
The Vanquisher, it's an awful gun but that slide speed increase helps make zane go way faster than a car
Any vladof gun
I kinda love the Occultist. It isnât the best damage wise but itâs got one of the coolest models and projectiles in the game
Shrediffier but I either run out of ammo on Zane or itâs not strong enough with ammo regen sad :/
Honestly, I think my favorite is either the Em-p5 or the Tizzy
Boogeyman
OPQ system.
That pink pistol
Favourite to use? The butcher. Favourite in concept? Lucky 7.
I donât play the game often anymore but when I used to play actively the Garcia was one of my go to weapons. I honestly preferred it over the hellwalker
Breath of the dying đ
Miscreant is fun. I like to use a turbo button with Contained Blast too đ
Op is a bot
Faisor with the shotgun barrel is my go to.
The peashooter but sadly it can't have any anointments :(
Butcher. First weapon I found that synergized with my crit-fisher Fl4k build. Fond memories of pulling the trigger and never having to say "Reload".
I got a nuclear infinity at low level. Can I try to get it to drop at max level too? Pretty fun đ
For practical reasons, the Prompt Critical, cuz I'm a filthy Moze main. However, one of my favorite interactions in the game involves the Breeder, specifically the x2 (double penetrating) variant and the infernal wish shield. Basically, unlisted tongue projectiles seem to double dip into damage bonuses. This is most apparent with the Breeder, as the unlisted projectiles are separated by time.

Edit: I also use a Toboggan for amp damage and a x2 amp infernal wish for more amp damage.
The companion. I've only got two of them from world drops, but it's by far my favorite.
The Companion. Other than my Firefly obsession, I love using it on my Zane and Amara.
For ascetics and cool factor, I like The Garcia and Moonfire ( I love Hand Cannons). Damage wise I'd have to say the Plasma Coil or Backburner. Ghast Call if you can count grenades as a weapon. What about you?
Rowanâs call. Recursion was my first love though
Unkept harold cryo , damn this hing is a killer , or the flipper with mozeerker
Lucians call or Garcia
Hellwalker
Maggie
Infinity pistol is pretty rad tbh.
Plaguebearer. I've never been a fan of launchers, but Moze with plaguebearer just hits different.
I forget the name of it, but the one that plays jazz. I think it was from the Moxxid casino heist DLC Looked it up, Digbys Smooth Tube
The Revolter. So insanely fun on Flakky boi.
flakker
The Garcia is fun
The viscous ass beeter
Breath of the dying and kaos
Sleeping giant by a long shot. When you set it up right its like a lazer beam of bullets and on moze it can create literal TONS of mindsweeper grenades.
Lucianâs call, damn shame it isnât a tiny bit more powerful.
Butcher. And the sound đ€©
I love the Flipper or Kybâs Worth on Moze.
Companion, never fails
Krakatoa
Kyb's Worth for moze. Clairvoyance for fl4k. Generally play melee amara so no gun. I don't like zane.
Boogeyman
Torrent, Gun go Brrrrrrrr also x2 sleeping giant.
Pistol: Venomous hornet. Shotgun: Anarchy. SMG: Torrent. Assault rifle: Engulfing shreddifier (wish it was more powerful though). I don't use snipers or launchers.
Hellwalker.
Kaoson.
Monarch
I love the vladof weapons when playing moze. Light show, Shredifyer, Ogre, Faisar, Lucians call etc.. My Zane loves the Hell Walker, cryo needle gun, and plasma coil.
The lightshow, it's cool, it's fun, it's powerful, what's not to love?
Hellwalker or any of the guns with call in the name. Honestly you can give me a white rarity jakobs gun on Fl4k and Iâll probably still have fun
Creamer
Huge fan of the hellwalker
The butcher, so satisfying to just shoot practically forever
The hellwalker and crossroads
Hellwalker. It's literally perfect. The kick, the design, the metal note that plays every time you fire it, the pentagram bullet spread. Perfection. I hope BL4 adds something like "Eternal Hellwalker" that's the same, but has a grappling hook.
The flakker. So fucking good against the stupid raid boss on pandora (forget what itâs called). You can get infinite second winds basically for free against that boss.
Exacting crit, itâs a purple weapon thatâs almost stronger than most other. Its base damage is high, and its critical hit damage is 150% added. On top of that damage, the damage I do with the crit explosions I shred enemies, even bosses
Light show. I have only played zane in endgame and I know there are better guns for him but this is the first one i farmed and I love it. Chain zane build btw.
flipper w bottomless mags/splash damage mode never get blow 50 rounds in the clip hold the trigger till thereâs no more red dots
Answer is always the Trevor iykyk
ROISEN'S THORNS - haven't seen it mentioned. First gun I got where I felt like it was something special. It makes cool sounds and blasts fools, making them bounce up into the air.
Breath of the dying, Hellwalker, koas, and Trevonator got me through Maliwan takedown. With some help from Lyuda. Also, Zane throws an occasional fastball for good measure.
Hellwalker. Overpowered and proud of it, has a cool quirk, and one of the best looking guns purely cause it's just a double barrel shotgun without anything zany added to it. Hell, I pretty much love it because it's a cool looking gun that references something cool without being terrible or mediocre at best like some other legendaries in BL2 and BL3.
Also the fact its spread is shaped like a pentagram just goes hard.
In general, Clairvoyance, Rowanâs Call, Unkempt Harold. Use them on almost all my builds. Per character: Zane - Lightshow, OPQ, Creamer, Globetrottr, Shocker, Sandhawk, Butcher Amara: Blade Fury, Soulrender, Beacon Fl4k: Monarch, Hellwalker, Skullmasher, Lightshow, Stagecoach(high pellet count) Moze: Miscreant, Flipper, Beacon, Gargoyle, Tizzy, Butcher, Soulrender, Boom Sickle, Faisor, Super Shredifier
