Borderlands what makes a good weapon

Borderlands 2 has recently made a resurgence on the Nintendo Switch and Epic Games Store, so we decided to help compile a list of some items that are sure to help out the vault hunters. This grenade lets players hit enemies without aiming and enables the player to regenerate health while holding it when paired with a Moxie Gun. The Lyuda sniper rifle is great for dealing massive damage but has issues with ammo consumption.

The Potential Interfacer Shotgun is one of the better shotguns in the game at a medium-close range. However, getting it may prove difficult since players have to beat Voracidous the Invincible, which can be troublesome for new players.

It has the highest base damage for all projectile items and players can get it fairly early in the game. Torgue DLC. This deceptively powerful pistol fires shots at a swift rare, which in turn split off into more , allowing for some truly potent offensives. Its shots also explode upon impact, creating a devastating effect that can destroy enemies quickly and cleanly. In another example of a solid Hyperion-made shotty, the Interfacer amplifies its already high damage output by firing projectiles that multiply and flare out.

Even without the Bee Shield amplifier, this thing can melt through opponents, particularly from close or mid-range. And while it's hindered a touch with its slow-moving projectiles, the fact that the gun allows one to aim down the sights without slowing down negates some of this.

Considering BL3 promises to have a more abundant lineup of bigger, tougher bosses, it'd sure be handy to have one of these trusty boom sticks at our side.

Manufacturer Tediore thrives on guns that are lightweight, swift, and sharp, and these attributes definitely shine in this Legendary SMG, the Baby Maker. It comes equipped with a super fast fire rate as well as reload speed. This ensures the weapon will help in a pinch against smaller, quicker moving baddies, like, say, a flurry of pesky Fire Ants. Trigger-happy reloaders will get a kick out of this thing in particular, as every reload produces an explosive projectile that's lobbed at close and mid-range baddies.

This rapidly firing SMG will simply tear away at foes with corrosive or slag damage in particular, which how many bullets it can pump out. Undertaking the Moxxi missions proves amusing for a number of reasons; not the least of which is the awesomely unique and rare weapons she offers at her bar following their completion.

One of the greatest is the Rubi, a sharp and quick reloading pistol. Being a Maliwan developed gun, it sacrifices raw base damage for elemental effectiveness somewhat.

Not only can it output a ton of powerful elemental and splash damage though, but it compounds this with its ability to heal the user relative to the damage inflicted. Remember me. Log in.
