The weapon if all weapons... Melee Zer0 No just joking I think Id choose a broken gun like... Lucky 7 It may be luck based but u can be lucky and get all rolls
surprised the bl2 sand hawk didn’t make the list. same w the bl1 bessie. granted, the crit damage isn’t as high as something like the lady fist, but the bessie was strong enough to one-shot each of craw’s weak spots with a decent mordecai or lilith build
God, those 3 nomad taskmasters in sawtooth cauldron were impossible before they patched there AI. My cousin and I both got spawn locked at the new-U by them on 2 different playthroughs. And in those days quiting out of the game and reloading didn't put you back at the area entrance, so you would load back into the same Insta-death mess you were in before. The only recourse was to start a new playthrough entirely.
Combining the "Inconceivable" and "Money Shot" skills to proc Money Shot multiple times with the DPUH is how I basically never died and destroyed raid bosses
Maybe not for VS Boss gameplay, but the Hellwalker completely broke my progression in my first playthrough. Oneshots small enemies almost all the way up to the final boss, and considering how early I got it it absolutely destroyed my want for any other gun... also the doom music that plays when you use it helped with that too
ridiculous, i'm currently at level 38 and I'm using it since level 34. the game already felt too easy using amara close-range one-shot fists, now this weapon deals 38k damage at level 35? ooook
I’d like to give an honorable mention to the Lady Fist from Borderlands 2. This is my favorite gun in the series, and I’m totally not peeved that they cut it from The Pre-Sequel at all! That sucker did 800% crit damage! It was also a Hyperion pistol, meaning it was super easy to hit headshots with it. I wish they would have made a follow-up for BL3, maybe the Lady Arm, a Hyperion SMG with 1000% crit damage? At the very least, they could’ve passed that insane crit damage to the Unforgiven. It pains me to see a weapon with such a cool and unique reload animation end up sucking.
The BL1 hellfire on Lilith felt so nice to use no matter what, I remember using a level 30(ish) one at like level 50 and it still wrecked everything I went against
Sand hawk + Bee in BL2 was pretty bad ass. Would have had it in my top10 list. I probably would have had Norfleet as #1, as with the right gear (like you mentioned) unlike the plasma coil (unless using Moze) you had infinite ammo and destroyed anything on screen.
I’m kind of surprised the Hellwalker didn’t even get an honorable mention. The Hellwalker with a good crit build with Fl4k absolutely rinses waves of enemies in very few shots.
I am SO hyped the Double Anarchy made it in! This is the gun that made me fall in love with farming in borderlands. Lilith + Double Anarchy was just pure joy,
@@Ki11ersix your basing everything off of specific builds, hellwalker is crazy strong no matter what character, the hellwalker is stronger than a complex root on flak or amara or non hustler zane. same with harold from bl2, its insane and is used on every single build, unlike the complex root or pimpernel or kickcharger. im not saying non of these guns arent strong but the monarch is pretty useless away from flak or moze compared to the harold in bl2 or coil and radical in bl3 which do very well on any build. also where's the grog? did you not include it because it's not used as a weapon?
I had a plasma coil on what I called "Bloodwish Moze", using Infernal Wish with a Bloodletter, and Seer was the only enemy in the game that survived longer than 5 seconds on M11. Funny enough though I rarely used it because I thought Flippers were more fun.
Man, so many weapons that should totally come back to BL3, The Machine, The Norfleet, The Double Anarchy, Captain Scarlett's Pimpernel, Miss Moxxi's Kitten, Miss Moxxi's Grog Nozzle, The Defiler, The Pearl God, The Lady Fist, The Surkov, so much loot to implement, gotta keep that tradition going
@@nt1388 no its not, its probably one of the best guns against terramorphous or son of crawmerax, of any big target where u can get most of the pellets to hit.
Definitely appreciate the anarchy on the list. Got a 100x4 blue rarity around lvl 20, and it carried me to lvl 35-40 before I got something different. Now at lvl 69 I have a 233x4 with 13.8 fire rate, and 82 rd mag.
I just love how much k6 clearly knows about the games and has been around forever. This was an awesome trip down memory lane for a series that has been dear to my heart for nearly a decade now.
The Unkempt Harold is my fav weapon in BL2 and BL3. I even think that it is even stronger in BL3, so I would have given the #10 spot to the BL3 version. But all in all a great list and a great video.
Borderlands 1 ogre I feel shoulda been on here somewhere near the middle spots a good role on it and it pretty much invalidates most enemies that don’t have high resistances to explosive damage and even those that do take a massive beating from it.
Well the only issue with the gun is that it isnt very good with half the vault hunters, its only really good on brick and roland, but kinda lacking on Lilith and mordecai.
Major kudos for shouting out to the Bandit Show machinima series in the countdown, that series was an underrated gem and a relic of UA-cam's past in all the best ways. Also god damn I feel old for remembering and playing BL2 when the Bee/Conference Call and Evil Smasher glitch ruled the roost.
In my personal list, I would have had the Hellfire from BL1 somewhere in there. That SMG could carry you for ages and the spreading fire dot just made it absolutely bonkers when mobbing any sort of enemy. Gawsh I wish they did it justice in the later games
It is very underrated people who play borderlands mostly remember borderlands 2 or 3 not many people have played the original and the hell fire in borderlands 2 wasn't really that good but I'm borderlands one it melted every thing
Couldn't agree more. The holy elemental trinity of hellfire, defiler and orion. Paired with a skullmasher or some other strong non-elemental gun could take on anything.
Btw. the Blade Fury does not only do melee damage but splash as well. Add that it tears through immune phases and boom it sends the boring ass coil packing..
The grog nozzle should’ve definitely been mentioned, because most of the OP legendaries in BL2 were even BETTER with the grog nozzle bc of the slag and the healing
Surprised the Bonus Package didn't make it here as well, once got a level 2 from Boom Bewm and it lasted throughout the entirity of Borderlands 2's Normal mode on Zer0.
I thought of the Interfacer but I'm not certain it's OP for anyone but Sal. Also Grog Nozzle was pretty OP heck most people playing OP levels relied on a Grog Nozzle.
Another good honorable mention would've been the Flakker/Torgue Launcher combo in BL2. Absolutely shredded as long as enemies didn't resist explosive damage👍
HOW HAS NOBODY MENTIONED THE GROG NOZZLE????? It is literally an absolute must on every single character in borderlands 2 no matter what build you have or what character you are using you have a grog nozzle, period. 65% healing on damage per pellet is completely overpowered a single shot will heal you from 1% to the equivalent of 3,000% you overheel yourself you just get so much health back that it's ridiculous because the highest health character you can have is a Salvador built with full health health relic full build he has 1.8 million health op10 and you're doing about 300 million damage per bullet 65% of that is still over 150 million a single shot from even the weakest guns is going to keep you full healed and because of health gate you can't get one shot so with that gun I'm just about any character you're invincible until you reload but again on Salvador that's not an issue
@Rhyleigh Mackenzie true I tried playing today on my OP 10 Salvador and I just get one shot by everything I have a perfect Harold a grog nozzle I have a perfect antagonist and I still get one or two shot uvhm is just completely broken that's why on all new characters I make I refuse to do overpowered levels because they are completely useless
The Maliwan Hellfire from Borderlands 1 was pretty OP, especially if you got good rolls on it. I had one that I took from level 25 playthrough 1 all the way to Baron Flynt in playthrough 2. Also, the Volcano in BL1 I found to be pretty beastly as well.
i think IB wasnt scaled so in Mayhem anything could 1 shot him and he tickled even the weakest enemies, and this was before we got DLC 3 i believe (cant remember if it was before 2) but I know 3 gave us alot of goodies. BUt yeah, OPQ was the DPS and the 'Cake rolled with 300% x2 was a boss deleter lol. now that gun just hogs ammo and isnt worth it, but the OPQ is still a good one. Backburner has been around since Base game though, just really low drop rate
@@LordZeroTheNightmare It's annoying that each character doesn't get their own drop for it or the back burner wouldn't be too bad farming from agonizer. True trials it drops a lot but that's longer farming
Absolutely! They really broke the game and GB had to work a lot to rebalance things. I feel like they should've been included, at least honourable mention
There was basic ass green rarity Atlas assault rifle in BL1 that carried me through the entire game, and the knoxx dlc. It had insane ammo capacity and great damage with decent fire rate. Just the perfect combination of stats to make for a fantastic gun. I was amazed how long it kept being good for something that wasn't even unique.
most of these I only toyed around with but yeah, they're ridiculous! I have to say that there were 4 that I was kinda surprised weren't on the list (but that could just be me) the Hellfire and Defiler from BL1 and TK's Wave/ hellwalker from BL3.
I'm not really a meta player so I don't know where it would fit, but I always thought the BL1 Vitriolic Crux was unbelievably op. Also, idk of it counts as op, but the Grog Nozzle is still my favorite BL gun of all time.
Would've put the unkept herald akimbo as an honorable mention, since it's not technically the weapon itself but the weapon together with a certain class
Huge Shoutout to Gemstone Purples in B2 for being better than 75% of legendaries and B2 purple with correct parts for being better than 50% of legendaries
I am kinda surprised that the hellwalker, at least in the honorable mention parts was not included. I mean, this shotgun, was sooooo good for so long, I mean seriously , if you got this shotgun early/mid game, it would carry you through most of the end game, and if not somewhat thru mayhem levels within reason(a level 23 hellwalker ain't going to carry you through mayhem 11 at level 35 or so, at least not efficiently). Yet again, there are a LOT of good guns throughout the borderlands games, so maybe I'm not that knowledgeable about what guns were that overpowered or not.
When Moxsy said he preferred to use 300/90 anoint on his Plasma Coil, I knew something was wrong Also, you talked about how good the Pimpernel is under NORMAL circumstances. You didn't even mention its insane skill interactions.
I'd add the Morningstar as it still has the glitch similar to the Evil Smasher, where you can get an insane crit damage boost to one tap literally anything with a crit spot.
Shoutout to any x5 or higher revolver in Bl1 easily the most devistating weapons in the game, super accurate and could easily carry 10 levels above if you can land crits.
Oh man the days of the Evil Smasher glitch. Late 2012/early 2013. Helped me get thru the first DLC and get all achievements for BL2 at the time on Xbox 360.
I really really wish more from TPS was bringed back to BL3(like The Machine and Excalibastard(that one specific would be an amazing cryo melee weapon)), hoping Wonderlands bring some back! 😀 And plz, balance them, don't just throw power crap items in the game...
Excalibastard was such a fun gun. Melee and novas with lasers as well? Wouldn't be surprised if they bought it back for wonderlands because it fits the theme perfectly
Perma-sharp Baby Maker was a great weapon that did insane damage if threw at an enemy upon reloading it. Melted certain bosses whilst you were underleveled in BL2.
I hear it so often bud I just don't feel the lob. Idk if it's because of my build for Mose but yeah the Lob never did much damage for me. (playing mayhem lvl11)
If you are playing with a friend and you double dupe the DP Unkempt Harold on gunzerker, it is the most Op thing I have ever seen in BL2. You can kill the Warrior or terramorphis in under a minute.
I'm surprised "The Bitch" from Borderlands 1 didn't make it to this list. I don't know if I got a god roll on it or something but all I remember is it didn't have recoil, unbelievable accuracy, and would instamelt health bars.
For me THE best weapon of those games is the volcano from borderlands 1, that was a one shot with Zero on pretty much anything!! And in borderlands 2, two smg's. The one of Moxxi which heal you and make you LITTERALY immortal with Maya and the Florentine which make you kill any boss at an insane rate (still with Maya though) LOVE THOSE GAMES SO MUCH !!!
I had a purple Combat Rifle that essentially an auto sniper with a 72 round clip. My character spec'd into recoil and fire rate. Good Scope, Super accurate mag dumps into weak spots from range. Picked it up early in BL1 playthrough and I had it till the end.
With the plasma coil you can get it at a level lower than 13 through the diamond loot room the fire selector name is “gun team plz fix name” or something like that i got it at level 10 on my first fl4k playthrough
I found a purple anarchy 4x in b1 at lvl 16 ish. I could use it the entire game and still kill enemies at a pretty ok speed at lvl 56. It still surprises me that a gun 40 levels down still mows enemies down pretty quickly!
Sigh. I remember landing an SMG in BL1 that had an 18.8 fire rate. I encountered it ONE TIME and after I dropped it for something else, I never saw that same stat again.
I feel like the hellwalker from bl3 shouldve been here, i single handedly used that shotgun from the moment you unlock splinterlands to lvl 72 mayhem 11 and it was still easily taking care of enemies, on both flak and zane, its insane
I wish the Chullain of Borderlands 2 would have been in the Honorable Mention list :). Thats a SMG, i still use many levels later, and it's way better than SMGs 5 level higher.
What's the most OP weapon YOU can think of in the franchise?
Trickshot

You should do a playthrough of pre patched borderlands 2 to show all the new people to the game how crazy it was at launch
Omg that is such a good idea!
God, those 3 nomad taskmasters in sawtooth cauldron were impossible before they patched there AI. My cousin and I both got spawn locked at the new-U by them on 2 different playthroughs.

Conference Call go brrrrr
So basically play with the community patch? I'm kidding that's such a good patch it does better at balance than gearbox
The DPUH Grog combo with Salvador will always have a special place in my heart.
Combining the "Inconceivable" and "Money Shot" skills to proc Money Shot multiple times with the DPUH is how I basically never died and destroyed raid bosses
Try Grog + lady fist. Even better than grog + dpuh

Huge Shoutout to Gemstone Purples in B2 for being better than 75% of legendaries and B2 purple with correct parts for being better than 50% of legendaries
I am kinda surprised that the hellwalker, at least in the honorable mention parts was not included. I mean, this shotgun, was sooooo good for so long, I mean seriously , if you got this shotgun early/mid game, it would carry you through most of the end game, and if not somewhat thru mayhem levels within reason(a level 23 hellwalker ain't going to carry you through mayhem 11 at level 35 or so, at least not efficiently). Yet again, there are a LOT of good guns throughout the borderlands games, so maybe I'm not that knowledgeable about what guns were that overpowered or not.
The Invisible Shotgun from BL1 was the source of a lot of good times back in the day.
When Moxsy said he preferred to use 300/90 anoint on his Plasma Coil, I knew something was wrong
Also, you talked about how good the Pimpernel is under NORMAL circumstances. You didn't even mention its insane skill interactions.
Infinity is one of if not the best pistol in border lands 2 just deserved an honerable mention
I'd add the Morningstar as it still has the glitch similar to the Evil Smasher, where you can get an insane crit damage boost to one tap literally anything with a crit spot.
Surprised you didn't mention the Yellow Cake. It was incredibly op when first released.
Shoutout to any x5 or higher revolver in Bl1 easily the most devistating weapons in the game, super accurate and could easily carry 10 levels above if you can land crits.
Imagine the hellwalker in bl 1 or 2. It would feel like a modded weapon
BL2: Slagged Sandhawk w/ Bee was f’n insane.
Oh man the days of the Evil Smasher glitch. Late 2012/early 2013. Helped me get thru the first DLC and get all achievements for BL2 at the time on Xbox 360.
The wedding invitation was the best gun of all time when it first released. One shotted everything in the game with it . Also never have to reload
One bullet and everything is dead
I really really wish more from TPS was bringed back to BL3(like The Machine and Excalibastard(that one specific would be an amazing cryo melee weapon)), hoping Wonderlands bring some back! 😀
And plz, balance them, don't just throw power crap items in the game...
Excalibastard was such a fun gun. Melee and novas with lasers as well? Wouldn't be surprised if they bought it back for wonderlands because it fits the theme perfectly
I still would love to see the boomacorn making it back to borderlands 3. Is it a good gun? No but its very unitque and fun shotgun to use
Light show is definitely in my top 3 most favorte weapons to use in Borderlands history
Perma-sharp Baby Maker was a great weapon that did insane damage if threw at an enemy upon reloading it. Melted certain bosses whilst you were underleveled in BL2.
Perma sharp is one of the worst versions of the baby maker tho just FYI. Refill probably the best
Genuinely shooketh that The Lob from BL3 didn't make this list, that thing is easy mode no matter what element, character or skill level you have
I hear it so often bud I just don't feel the lob. Idk if it's because of my build for Mose but yeah the Lob never did much damage for me. (playing mayhem lvl11)
TPS vibra pulse made most runs easy mode, on a shock Athena, you could take a massively underleveled vibrapulse and beat everyone with it
That gun was busted on everyone was glitched that when you keep swapping it out the damage increased
The machine was beautiful 🤩
If you are playing with a friend and you double dupe the DP Unkempt Harold on gunzerker, it is the most Op thing I have ever seen in BL2. You can kill the Warrior or terramorphis in under a minute.
I'm surprised "The Bitch" from Borderlands 1 didn't make it to this list. I don't know if I got a god roll on it or something but all I remember is it didn't have recoil, unbelievable accuracy, and would instamelt health bars.
A very good group. (and thank you for spotlighting my favourite!)
Lucky 7+ Bulletstorm Moze = modded weapon. You get the right roll and as long as you don’t reload you can solo every boss and every raid
Bl2 UH: 2 layers of bullets
BL3 UH: extra horizontal bullet
Also BL3 Harold: doesn’t need to be perfect parts to destroy enemies. Technically stronger than the BL2 version
Honestly I'd say OPQ System Pre Arms Race and Pre DLC 6 since that could slay even at level 57
I love the machine with athena, high fire and high chance not to consume ammo, chefs kiss
Couple personal favorites: Blood starved beast, Soulrender.
For me THE best weapon of those games is the volcano from borderlands 1, that was a one shot with Zero on pretty much anything!!
And in borderlands 2, two smg's. The one of Moxxi which heal you and make you LITTERALY immortal with Maya and the Florentine which make you kill any boss at an insane rate (still with Maya though)
LOVE THOSE GAMES SO MUCH !!!
Thx for the like a year after, you're a legend Killer ! ❤️
I had a purple Combat Rifle that essentially an auto sniper with a 72 round clip. My character spec'd into recoil and fire rate. Good Scope, Super accurate mag dumps into weak spots from range. Picked it up early in BL1 playthrough and I had it till the end.
With the plasma coil you can get it at a level lower than 13 through the diamond loot room the fire selector name is “gun team plz fix name” or something like that i got it at level 10 on my first fl4k playthrough
I found a purple anarchy 4x in b1 at lvl 16 ish. I could use it the entire game and still kill enemies at a pretty ok speed at lvl 56. It still surprises me that a gun 40 levels down still mows enemies down pretty quickly!
My Siren in BL1 had a 72 bullets per second build with Anarchy.
Pre nerf Ion Cannon from Handsome Jackpot is worth remembering imo. That thing was so busted people weren't using anything else.
I was always a fan of the Storm in BL3. Stupidly easy crowd control and absolutely melted bosses.
I think the DNA in Borderlands 3 and the E Gun in Presequel are overpowered.
Sigh. I remember landing an SMG in BL1 that had an 18.8 fire rate. I encountered it ONE TIME and after I dropped it for something else, I never saw that same stat again.
The back burner should have been in the honorable mention or the iron canon in the early day of bl3
The Norfleet was so strong it made even me look good at BL2.
I feel like the hellwalker from bl3 shouldve been here, i single handedly used that shotgun from the moment you unlock splinterlands to lvl 72 mayhem 11 and it was still easily taking care of enemies, on both flak and zane, its insane
It’s very good but it’s not even top 5 strongest in BL3
Was hoping to see Pestilent Defiler from BL1, but great video!
"...along with your framerate and eyesight." Quote of this video ;)
snowdrift+hellwalker+zane's speed skills
BL1 Hellfires...bloody things melted everything
Siting in pyro Pete’s bar with 2 norflets a sham was the most fun way quickly level
Storm grenade storm chaser something like that anyways you get it from borderlands 2 the TMNT underground mission
In my opinion The Breath of the Dying from BL3 was insane
I wish the Chullain of Borderlands 2 would have been in the Honorable Mention list :). Thats a SMG, i still use many levels later, and it's way better than SMGs 5 level higher.
