Hey guys, back with another Borderlands countdown and today, I want to go over 10 of what I think are among some of the Worst Pistols in Borderlands History! This video will include some of the Worst pistols from all the Borderlands games including Borderlands 1, Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
As always, if you liked this video, feel free to let me know in the comments section below.
"If Borderland 1 ever gets rereleased." Oh boy past Puma, are you in for a fun day today.
The best part is that the Reaper DID get fixed... only to end up second rate to the new legendary pistol.

I’ll still take the Reaper over the Sucker Punch simply because The Reaper is actually good at killing enemies regardless of its accessory.
It's like everyone forgets the Reaper restores health...

Exactly, its a shame really.
"#6: The Unkempt Harold"
*Breathes heavily*
"Oh wait, it says The Troll Pistol"
*Exhales* Whew.
You saw what he did there didnt you
It got me because I was using it when he said that
Unkempt Harold is one of the best weapon
Gearbox must have a chronic problem that makes any interesting weapons with a good looking skin instantly suck. It really is a special skill they've developed...
Dominic M lol so true...its sad 😢
The bekah is a good gun with a cool skin
H1NKZ, I agree. I just can’t believe the slagga has such a great skin, but it’s trash, that really sucks.
H1NKZ yeah the logans gun is so pretty
Almost all of e-tech weapons
3:09 Puma gets possesed by a mad german for half a sec LOL
Nien
XD
@Sayo Tamura yeah
Nein!
The Dahlminator in normal mode is very useful against any flying enemy. It is a spiker with tracking projectiles; aim at flying enemy, shoot, and those bullets _will_ hit even if the enemy moves away.
That way I can get rid of fliers and focus on enemies that are polite enough to stick around while I shoot them.
Agreed, very andy against surveyors and other flying stuff. Or even Saturn. And kinda fun when combined with The Bee (shoot, hide, wait for the sounds)
Agreed, especially in Sawtooth Cauldron
In normal mode, it's a fairly good weapon, however, in other modes, it is trash. But, in TVHM, UVHM, or even The Peak, it is good for dealing with serveyors, especially badass surveyors, which are usually SO ANNOYING. Unless you are playing Maya, that is.
The more Borderlands History list you do the more hype I have for Borderlands 3.
Well you probably lost hype on bl3 because we need to wait 6 month more
did you enjoy the disappointment?
@@Raymongouss Just the story and villains.
Keynan Martinez new worst guns in bl history *all bl3 guns*
@@wizzy5702 No.
So the Devastator is basically the "monday-model" of the Unkempt Harold
What is "Monday-Model"?
I'm glad your Aneurysms are back!
LizardKing! Gaming you know, in any other context, this comment would be super fuckin mean.
LagswitchEngage lmao, I'm aware, however we all understand the context here.
LizardKing! Gaming wtf? Thats not a nice thing to say
12:33 "Laughs in borderlands 3 massive nerfs"
The amount of nerfs is at most 10× less than the buffs
@@grandduelslover3055 You can also mix RPG damage with normal SMG/pistol damage.
Well, they kinda stopped with the nerfs and focused on buffs
AGOOOOOOD EVENING PANDORA
The revolution isn’t that bad because it’s an anarchist style pistol so it’s at least got that,
I got one out of a vending machine, spent all my money on it. Then I found out what the grinder was, and then concluded it was worth it for the grinder haha
I’m with you.. I got mine from Shadowtrap and i actually really enjoy it
Mainly because puma doesn’t consider that just because a weapon is underwhelming doesn’t mean it’s shit, the revolution is decent and really didn’t deserve its spot, like what about the rebel from borderlands 1? That thing was complete shit!
So normal guns are all bad and OP guns are normal?
I felt like it was a premature version of the infinity Pistol before vladof got it right
And now I remembered why I came back to this channel.
Tahstig to watch the same top 10 videos he's been making for like 5 years already? Lol
If the made the troll's pistol grip do the healing it would make more sense. "When you hold the pistol, it heals you"
When he said unkempt Harold I almost got a heart attack
One thing not widely known about the Logan's Gun; In borderlands TPS you can use the Moonscaper for "Super Grenade Jumping" but with the Logan's Gun you can shoot the Moonscaper projectiles to detonate them when you want.
Also, a fire wonderlust on krieg isn't bad. He's virtually immortal with a fotfh, works wonders with buzzards too, ofc in the corrosive variety.
1. Every Bandit Pistol.
Change my mind.
i was both confused and furious for a second when you said the unkempt harold
The question is. Is #10 the best worst weapon? or the worst worst weapon? is #1 the worst weapon or the best worst weapon? HMM
Uuuuuummmmmm what
Oh nevermind I get it now. 10 is the best worst gun and 1 is the worst worst gun
10 is the less worst, and 1 is is the ultimate worst
6:40 that explains why I never see you fail to second wind.
The Logans Gun is awesome! With the Bee shield especially. Yes its counterintuitive to fire at feet. But once you've mastered it, its phenomenal. If you can guage how fast each enemy type runs, and fire it infront of them... game over!
It's great for recovering RPG ammo. Get a 94% Sham and bomb yourself. You'll save a shit ton of money.
I really like the wanderlust myself on my Gaige but I know that it's bad but I have a ton of fun with it :)
@Zach Krampien but so are a lot of other weapons
Alexey Eliseev, and?
For the wanderlust, there's 3 buffs could be could. The more projectiles like you said. A increased damage buff. Or increased fire rate and a larger mag/ less ammo consumption.
6:42 hilarious
I like to proletarian revolution sure its worse than the regular anarchist pistol but at least it has a specific place it drops its not just hope and pray u get one from any random chest or shop
the Troll lives up to its name BY TROLLING YOU LOL
Been watching your videos for a long time now, good to see you're still making great vids, and my least favourite pistol, the infinity (I prefer to kill faster, just a preference)
I adored the southern-esque accent you had for the complaint against the wanderlust
I disagree with the probe being on this list. Equip it and butt slam, and you've got a nice amount of health returned. It also heals from elemental damage from butt slams and grenades.
Eggplant it was really good at launch. That's probably why it's there. The nerf was huge and made it almost unusable.
Honestly, I just recently picked up bl:tps, so I had no idea of what it was like at launch. But the way that I see it, is you get a gun that heals for x amount so early on in the game. Combine this with the nova shield that janey springs gives you early on, and you'll recharge half of your health from a single nova. I understand that outside of normal mode, it's probably useless (not sure what healing guns you get in tps) but it's got it's uses.
In my opinion, this gun is the same quality as the rubi, considering how far into the story you need to be to get the rubi, as opposed to the fact you get the probe pretty much as soon as you start the game.
'The nerf was huge and made it almost unusable.'
But then, that's like putting the bee on the worst shields because of the nerfs that got with the listed projectiles not getting the amp bonuses. (with the unusable part being on shotguns inparticular)
DVA Dart pistols should be replaced with the probe imo
Obese Walrus
It's still incredible with melee Athena.
"Unusable" my ass.
Æsir I guess I'm just too use to the grog's healing so I would just rather use healing abilities, considering I only play claptrap and Wilhelm
Puma - I hope gearbox doesn't nerf weapons in bl3.
Gearbox - we'll one up that, we'll absolutely destroy everything you've ever loved.
The Logan's gun is great for putting downs rabid enemies. Works well at range too. High fire damage over time too.
XD logans gun is trash. Only good for ammo regin.
Me, playing BL1 Enhanced after years of not playing BL1: "Oh cool! I got a troll pistol! I don't even remember this one! Maybe it is new!"
*starts watching Vinylic, who I havent watched since before OP levels were introduced to BL2*
"FUCK!"
6:40 i was not expecting to see a giant dad meme in a borderlands video
Sure you got back up xD
Nice vid bro!
*gets lady fist
*has torgue barrel
Me: I guess I’ll just die
It can have a tourge barrel
Benslice526 Davidson u suck at typing correctly
Tenmarigold7725, what Ben said was proper.
The Wanderlust is actually pretty viable on Gaige with 400 stacks of Anarchy.
Everything is viable with gaige and 400 stacks of anarchy
One of my least favorite weapons is the dpuh. Hear me out. While it is a fantastic gun, I don’t like the effect it has on the game. It has turned into pretty much a necessity on every character, which take away the fun of trying out other weapons.
Well it's your opinion and I respect that but yeah the dpuh is kind of overrated to some in the Borderlands community.
I’m not saying I don’t like it necessarily, but I don’t like how overrated/overpowered it is
I just got my Salvador(8th one)to op8 and people keep telling me to get the dpuh but I think it's too overpowered so I'm not going to use it
It actually is a really overpowered gun, but it makes the player that uses it worse. If you are using the DPUH you often do not aim properly because you don't need to hit crits anyways, while you are getting used to deal devastating amounts of damage without much skill. As soon as you get used to using the DPUH you get worse at aiming and worse at playing in an organized or safe way.
Manner MP lol it doesn’t make you worse. Theres something that humans have called muscle memory and it can’t be overridden by simply not doing something as basic as aiming.
Great video, you should've put a beginning pistol....not gonna lie i was kinda expecting that to be there.
Jacob Maxwell so you wanna put a white weapon in a list of unique and legendary weapons? thats really smart, you should make yt videos
Honestly, the Proletarian Revolution would probably be better off in Borderlands 2 with Salvador than any of the characters in the pre sequel.
The wander lust is good with gaige when you have a lot stacks
Anything is good with Gaige when you have a lot of stacks.
rian hall true
Its good with the reborn modpack
puma love your videos!! keep it up bro
use the unforgiven pistol with salvador's high fire rate skill to and divergent likeness skill to make it worth while.
And the Proletarian Revolution is still better than the Infinty. Ironic. And the Probe is still top-1 pistol for Melee Athena, for example. And not only this. Because when you healing with the Probe you don’t usually shoot the gun to do so, just like you do with the Grog. And healing off of grenades, melee attacks and swapping from a better damaging weapon works just excellent.
Wanderlust > BL2 Unforgiven. At least the Wanderlust is usable on Gaige (with many anarchy stacks and close enough). But the Unforgiven is just shit.
+1, i like the concept, and the sight, but for goodness sake increase the damage on it
The devastator is from master gee not hyperius. Retcher is from hyperius
Olivier Roussin Most of the things in this video arent really correct in my opinion
Olivier Roussin I remember on my 1st time farming hyperius for the norfleet i got one of the guns u usually get from gee i cant remember if it was the ahab or devastator tho
BIGG 4078 Thats only a thing on the ucp
BIGG 4078 probably community patch is this possible?
Olivier Roussin im a console player
Loving the video dude. I've got to say I do prefer the weapons on bl1, especially the pistols and revolvers, I have a brutal masher that is the dingles, and some if the pestilent revolvers are awesome.
13:32 Its master gee you get it from i believe.
You can get it from hyperius but its more rare
Hey puma great vidja keep it up:D
It's video
Sad thing is the Unforgiven was my first parlescent in BL2.
I can't name a pistol but I can name a bad shield. It's Dinky shield. lol 😂
turtle shields
All gunzerkers had a heart attack for a hot min lol
I hope they bring back the Reaper in Bl3 and the Red Text is just, "We fixed it, happy? "
Loved the vid. Pretty perfect
Bro, i gotta say, besides the low fire rate on The Rex, It is pretty good on Zer0 If you do the One shot build, where reloading to get the bônus from the one shot skill, could add a lot of damage to the First bullet you shot, while having enough reload speed from Zer0's middle tree skils, and with all the crit damage from de left tree, it can be good for a one shot crit build
Yeah, the E-tech pistols have always been a bummer. In theory, its a good idea. High elemental chance and damage, but low fire rate. TBH, I’m not really a fan of ANY E-tech weapons. I’ll use a sniper or plasma caster for a bit if there are no other choices. I suppose the rocket launchers are good eh?
The unforgiven has been buffed to awesomeness
top 10 worst shields in borderlands history
GamingDude 12 whiskey tango foxtrot
I would admit that if the wanderlust had a small tombstone skill as well as more projectiles and less ammo consumption it would've been a God pistol
The Troll pistol might actually be a reference to Castle Crashers. There is a Troll Animal Orb that offers health regen similar to the pistol in BL1.
As a Nisha main, I love Jakobs pistols and I am very sad to see how sad some of them are
The Maggie and the luck cannon i love on nisha
10:09 lol I remember that gun from borderlands 1. The thing was great. Didn't know it was shit in 2
I actually just got a random Logan’s gun to drop when I was playing as my new maya
I don't think he knows how to use " fires as fast as you can pull the trigger" guns because if he did I dont think they would be on the list
You got me when you said DPUH lol
To be honest, the Wonderlust is pretty good on Gagie. With max anarchy it's pretty good. (Binary Prefix)
Mistic Slayer wow really with an over 100% increase damage it's good. Much surprise.
Obese Walrus Well if you count Slayer of Terra class mod, and the skill that gives you an extra 250 anarchy
this came out right after my birthday
THE LEGEND NEVER DIES
The Logan’s Gun can be obtained from the express train after killing the snowman guy (forgive me, I forgot his name) off of the Marcus Christmas DLC
I can't seem to find the boss you always talk about "any suitable lootsource"
He means that n body drops it and you can obtain it from any enemy
I actually like my Twin Dhal for smoking loaders. It never seems to miss, and the corrosive eats them alive. I will just pop a few rounds on ones direction and move someowhere else, knowing it's already dead and it just doesn't notice it yet
The luck cannon from the presequel. One shot magazine is really annoying
makes you wonder if Gearbox even tested their weapons on a dummy. Its very obvious some weapons fall short and they're just ok with that. They're ok with 40% of the guns being absolutely useless in UVHM.
5:44 this pistol probably uses fucking artillery shells as ammo if it fires that slow but dishes that much damage, would be interesting to see this used with zer0 and his stealth damage bonus. There's even a damage bonus where when you uncloak from firing your weapon you do a bonus of anywhere between 3,000K and 12,500K damage, and I'm not even talking about criticals.
I feel like zero would do better with the elephant gun, since it can be boosted by all his sniper bonuses. Even so, you can't easily use Hammerlock weapons at range, so a well placed Quad shot or straight up melee is your best bet for close quarters Zero.
This gun really shines on Sal, since he can get the most out of the crit bonus and bypass the fire rate penalty.
14:10 the curse of the hoedunks has started
They prob noticed not many people liked probes NERF so decided not to NERF the mordicais fav gun
You lost me at the Rex. Its boosted type B crit is PERFECT for Sal, who laughs at fire rate deficiencies. A Rex and Longarm with the sheriff badge can vaporize skulls.
I find the revolution good for only one thing and that’s for one of fragtraps skills you have to reload to get the buff and since you can reload constantly (cause it’s like the magazine is always not full) it’s very good for that purpose but that’s just for me
favorite pistol setup was for Nisha. (sic?) getting a decent damage vladof auto pistol and dual weilding. burns through ammo but damn the DPS is brutal.
If a weapon can kill enemies efficiently on the highest difficulty in the game then it means that it does not suck.
(By the way, the Logan's Gun is actually a monster on gun-based Hellborn Krieg)
I do have to say that I like the Rex pistol. While I am not a fan of the slow fire rate (compared to other Jakobs pistols), I have had good success using it as more like a sniper rifle. I guess it just depends on the individual's play style.
terminator is acquired from gee, not hyperious
at 6:44
me: what why
puma:makes an mistake
me: oh whew
I did not know you dabbled in Dark Souls :)
Logan's Gun deals really good damage when you hit
I just got the revoltion gun and as soon as i look on up youtube this was on recommendations xD
GiantDad is proud
I bet money people left when he said the unkempt Harold I almost did
The devastator shoots from behind because the weapon it is based on is a shoulder mounted weapon
As soon as you mentioned the unforgiven i got one from bunker rip
6:40 nice reference
Heyyyy a giantdad reference!
Man are you kidding me about the reaper not having that massive amount of melee damage? They should of named that one the troll. And how come people always hate on T.K. Bahas shotgun? That gun and Madjacks revolver are my fav guns in the whole game.
I guess the party popper from the claptastic voyage dlc might be even much worse than the wanderlust
I havent even gotten to the end, and I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that the Wanderlust is #1
Oh boy 3 AM!!
I feel like if the Rex was in borderlands the pre sequel it would be very good on Nisha because she could hold 2 of them and this mixed with all of Nisha's fire rate skills as well as hot lead it would be able to do lots of damage. Same goes for the unforgiven. The unforgiven's recoil would be easily fixed thanks to trick shot and you wouldn't have to aim for the head because of tombstone
Dart pistols, like the Dahlminator, do have something good going for them
Ive found the Dahlminator is excellent for taking down buzzards. If you do have one, take it to The Forge
idea: moxxi sniper rifle with 100% healing, but not a super fast fire rate.
Cherie-amie
Call it the blow kiss
the gun of borderlands 1 with the 300% melee damages crimson reaper but the sucker punch does more melee damages. [500% melee damage]
I’m surprised the equalizer wasn’t on that list it was the most common legendary you would see and it was really just eh unless you found a masher barel one
SpongeBob SquarePants I found a masher variant whilst playing through normal mode and I thought that was the special effect as It was my first time getting the gun. Luckily I was playing mordecai so it carried me through the first play through. Gotta admit though looking back the gun is shitty as you can get ammo regen in class mods.
