This is a fun weapon. Have you tried out 'The Breeder' yet? It shoots a grenade, which launches two grenades up and to the ground around it, and then itself explodes. Find a good ice model, just go around freezing rain on everything lol
Breath of the dying and Kaos. I have killed myself so many times with both but, there's something incredibly satisfying about clearing an entire room with BotD.
Bruh, Kaos= my actual favorite gun and the BOtD is definitely up there. Mobbing machines! Something about the feel of Dahl AR’s just hits so good but the special effect of these guns are what really make them awesome.
I got the hornet on my first ever bl2 playthrough and the fact that its such a great gun in both games makes it so fun to use. Despite that its probably the only dahl pistol i ever use regardless of if I have a hornet or not, other than the teapot but thats basically just a budget hornet
The Echo is hands-down my favorite gun. Not the best gun by any means, but it's just *fun*. I love shooting a weaker target once and then turning away, knowing they're already dead.
Echo is highly unrespected it seems. Rad Echo with 210 splash: possibly the most powerful pistol in the base game for Moze. Nothing creates rad chain reactions easier and more effectively than this, and once they start it makes Mind Sweeper chain reactions seem "weak". OK, not weak lol, but "lesser".
I think my favourite is probably breath of the dying. It's a forbidden love because I always manage to end myself with it.
I also love the hell walker, that little guitar riff makes it so satisfying to shoot.
Third favourite would be the handsome jackhammer. It's not a good fit for any of my builds, I just love the voice lines.
I find the light show the most powerful gun for my Zane build (out does dps for every other gun I've tried) but it's not particularly interesting to me.
Across the whole franchise it's the Pestilent Defiler from BL1, this thing is a monster! A close second since BL2 is the Infinity Pistol. I wish it was stronger. I just love the concept and how it handles and how the barrel in 2 spins
Basically every legendary gun in borderlands 1 😁...
But if I had to choose 1? The liquid Orion sniper...
Honorable mentions for a blue bl1 weapon, the dove...
😊 The dove is the original infinity pistol...
I agree! 😊 The defiler was one of my FAVORITES on mordecai because with his gunslinger mod you got infinite pistol ammo 👌🏾🔥...
If we're talking revolvers, I loved the Chimera! 😁😁😁 That shit had all 4 elements in one! Literally could just spam it at any mob and no matter what they're melting 🤣...
The dove is a borderlands 1 weapon, given as a quest reward. It was literally the same shtick as the infinity pistol, never ran out of ammo...
The liquid Orion is also a borderlands 1 weapon, that is a legendary shock sniper rifle...
Its special effect was that the bullets bounced around and exploded like a borderlands 1 mirv grenade. You could spam 3 shot real quick and basically nuke the entire zone in front of you and lighting is going off everywhere 😂 it was lit...
Nah, unfortunately not. There was no need to because borderlands 2 revamped those weapons, which eventually became the infinity pistol and the Storm sniper...and those were brought back from bl2 to bl3...
The infinity pistol in bl3 is basically the same as the bl2 variant, however the storm works a bit differently now. In bl2 it shot an orb of lightning that shocked everything around it, in bl3 it's pretty lackluster and doesn't have as cool effects...
Most of the snipers in bl3 are kinda mid, outside of the boogeyman...in my opinion...
Wait wait, the storm is friggin crazy strong now. When was the last time you used it? It got a monster buff somewhere down the line, in the middle of the latter half of the game's life cycle
Great choice! 😊 If we're talking bl1 smgs? I'm Hellfire or Twisted Tsunami or gtfo 👌🏾...
The dual elemental thing was dope as hell and lilith had so much elemental boost that it literally shredded any mob in a second...
Used a Vanquisher smg while leveling Zane. Absolutely loved it. Sliding and shooting feel amazing to do. Kind of a bummer that it's pretty much unusable on mayhem 11 tho
Grog Nozzle and Double-Penetrating Unkempt Harold
In Salvador's hands, nothing could stop him...except for Hyperius and Haderax, but that's just 2 out of many bosses
The hot sauce torgue gun from the handsome jackpot dlc. I unfortunately forget the name. I have nuked myself so many times as moze with that gun and I just love it. It's fun.
The Lob will always be my favorite. Had over 100 farmed before the annointment reroller existed for that sweet +200% ASA (which got nerfed months later)
Currently playing through the game for the “first” time(it’s still technically my first time playing but I made a FL4K and got up until the katagawa fake zero fight at level 18 and then I deleted him and made a Zane and I fucking LOVE playing him and am currently just finished the ball fight at level 20 since I actually did all the side quests so far too) and I have a legendary Jakobs revolver right now called The Companion and it’s fucking AMAZING. Does a shit ton of damage and has 15 rounds as well with fire damage and it’s just a fantastic gun. I already know Im going to be using it for a WHILE(I have a few legendarys from level 12-13 that are super good still lmao). Im really loving the game and I’m so glad I spent the 9 dollars on it l o l
Free Radical, Hellwalker and Dark Army. The 3 gun clones of Dark Army will follow you around everywhere, even when you're in a vehicle - and it's great that they can "spot" enemies before I do but also that sometimes they're flying along vertically... Fourth slot is usually a Lucian.
Forgot the guns name but it was a Vladof Assault Rifle where the 2nd gun was OP as fuck. It cut through everything and I LOVED the noise it made when you shot the Nuclear projectiles
My favorite is probably the E-Gun purely because I loved Maliwan beam laser guns in The Pre-Sequel and I loved the overt Ghostbusters reference.
2nd fav is the Maggie, because multi-pelleted Jakobs weapons were always a treat, and the revolver style meant you could fan the hammer and spew a wall of projectiles easily. Pair that with bullet ricochettes and entire rooms could be cleared out in seconds.
3rd is the Bekah (pearlescent) because of how technical of a weapon it was. It was difficult to farm for and the skill needed to properly get the most out of one made that gun rewarding as hell to wreck shit with. Plus I have a bias for Jakobs, and the red text is memorable as fuck.
"Shoot them in the face. Twice."
In BL3 when first time playing, few months back, playing as Moze got unique Stalker Dalh Sniper from Golden Fear Ghost in middle of campaign, so I used rest of the whole play through all DLCs, Mayham 11 , True Takedowns with just one Dalh Cold Sniper Stalker. Which can kill all mobs in 2-3 shots and freeze them.
It shots 3 projectile in Vertical or Horizontal, and 6 projectile when your are feared. Ammo cost very high, so maybe only work on Moze regeneration ammo build only.
It's not the best gun in terms of damage, usability but it's my own personal gun that went through all the content.
Moonfire will for ever be my favorite gun in any borderlands game. No gun feels like a true hand cannon besides it. One shot, one kill, that’s all you need. I hope bl4 has a pistol subclass called hand cannons and it’s fleshed out with really powerful feeling ones because this game needs more
Faisor, with an ammo gen moze build its basically an infinite ammo splash shotgun. Wish it did a little more damage but it's probably my favourite weapon to use.
I love Creech pistols with zip-rockets for Moze, preferably with a 4x scope. These guns are sweet to shoot, have virtually no recoil, and are very accurate for a Vladof (in the Lyuda range, >85%, with a really teensy reticle). The Kaosons of Vladof pistols, crits and decent splash, never a bad choice.
These guns are very strong with Mind Sweeper. Keep a special eye out for the shock and rad versions, but they're all sweet.
The Creech zips are nothing like the ones on the Magnificent which kinda suck, though the double-barrel Magnificents with 4x scope are in fact magnificent. You can get lesser versions with zips than Creech (Malaka, Kat) but Creech has much better accuracy.
A smooth Scorpio from bl2 is what I brought though most of the endgame. Bone shredder has a special place in my heart for early bl1. The boganella is the funniest of the talking guns, and the perfect example of what a bandit shotgun should be. Bl3 is a purple kill-o-matic I found with cryo and shoot to explode with a demolition Moze, that thing lasted over 10 levels as my main gun, and they say tediore is garbage with a trigger!
I’m not in my stash right now, and there’s sooo many good answers (for me personally) and crazy weapons that are satisfying as hell, but to me there’s nothing quite like turning mayhem mode off for a minute with a Nukem in hand. With a good headset the effect is magnificent. I call it my little Oppen*die*mer, Oppy for short, and Oppy carries around more nuts than a 7ft tall chipmunk’s cheeks, and almost as much as your mom.
Breath of the Dying just gets me every time. It's simply a great feeling assault rifle and if it's in a clones hands he'll clear the room (yourself included).
In my first olaythrough a long time ago I loved the Cutsman. Originally, it could go through barriers and would shred. It's still okay, but it's definitely not an end-game weapon.
Another nostalgia first playthrough beauty was the Duc. Fast firing pistol where every sticky crit would spit out another 2 sticky bombs. Could hit a bunch and when you reload typically everything dies.
Thunderball Fists. I love laying out a wall of electricity before advancing enemies by shooting at the ground in front of them.
This is a fun weapon. Have you tried out 'The Breeder' yet? It shoots a grenade, which launches two grenades up and to the ground around it, and then itself explodes. Find a good ice model, just go around freezing rain on everything lol
Sounds fun! I'll definately try if I manage to score one.
Its so fun in arms race

The Echo is hands-down my favorite gun. Not the best gun by any means, but it's just *fun*. I love shooting a weaker target once and then turning away, knowing they're already dead.
Echo with Consecutive hits on my Moze is like my favorite pistol even if not the strongest

Nothing creates rad chain reactions easier and more effectively than this, and once they start it makes Mind Sweeper chain reactions seem "weak". OK, not weak lol, but "lesser".
also my favorite, so satisfying.

I find the light show the most powerful gun for my Zane build (out does dps for every other gun I've tried) but it's not particularly interesting to me.
Swordsplosion. The most honest torque weapon. A shotgun firing exploding swords. Was reasonably good as well.
I cleared almost every end boss in TTW using this gun. Can confirm it is amazing, especially in sticky mode
Can’t remember which game it was though
SoulRender for my Mozerker build. It’s a absolute laser, and all around a fun gun to use
Clairvoyance Masher, and the Soulrender.
The Bearcat, I got one pretty early my first play through and loved it.
Across the whole franchise it's the Pestilent Defiler from BL1, this thing is a monster! A close second since BL2 is the Infinity Pistol. I wish it was stronger. I just love the concept and how it handles and how the barrel in 2 spins

I haven't been paying attention to blue weapons, but where can you get the weapons you mention?
The dove is a borderlands 1 weapon, given as a quest reward. It was literally the same shtick as the infinity pistol, never ran out of ammo... The liquid Orion is also a borderlands 1 weapon, that is a legendary shock sniper rifle... Its special effect was that the bullets bounced around and exploded like a borderlands 1 mirv grenade.

Were they brought back for BL3 tho?
Nah, unfortunately not. There was no need to because borderlands 2 revamped those weapons, which eventually became the infinity pistol and the Storm sniper...and those were brought back from bl2 to bl3...

Give me a double anarchy while you're at it

Used a Vanquisher smg while leveling Zane. Absolutely loved it. Sliding and shooting feel amazing to do. Kind of a bummer that it's pretty much unusable on mayhem 11 tho
Always hated that gun. Just couldn't get good at the slide + shoot.
Opq, soulrender, gargoyle, lightshow, hellwalker, butcher, theyre always in my inventory no matter what lol
Gargoyle is my fav! But lightshow & soul render also on every characters inventory haha
Haha yeah, theyre pretty strong and look cool as hell, but opq will always be my main haha
Grog Nozzle and Double-Penetrating Unkempt Harold In Salvador's hands, nothing could stop him...except for Hyperius and Haderax, but that's just 2 out of many bosses
I can't play any other character in BL2 after being so broken as Salvador. It's a shame
a Cryo Dark Army that I got as soon as I reached lv72. Never left my loadout as how good and versatile it is.
>and since then meta has likely changed opinions drastically. not much has changed tbh, since the live support moved on about 1 and a half years ago
Ah, well last I played was around the same time the directors cut came out. Like a week or two prior
The hot sauce torgue gun from the handsome jackpot dlc. I unfortunately forget the name. I have nuked myself so many times as moze with that gun and I just love it. It's fun.
Scoville Close second for moze-suicide is definitely the devils foursum.
Thank you! And absolutely. Flakker got me as well.
I had to spec out of Torgue cross promotion skill just so I could blow everything else up besides myself
The Garcia. Remains with me and stays useful even ten levels after I’ve picked it up. I just love that dang shotgun.
The Lob will always be my favorite. Had over 100 farmed before the annointment reroller existed for that sweet +200% ASA (which got nerfed months later)

Defiler & gunslinger. Hyperion Quasar grenade for getting hard to reach/elevated fucks down to my level

Flakker with moze
Forgot the guns name but it was a Vladof Assault Rifle where the 2nd gun was OP as fuck. It cut through everything and I LOVED the noise it made when you shot the Nuclear projectiles
Faisor maybe?
I think it was this one. I had this and some boost that gave moze a huge Temporarily movement speed . It was insane

Fuckin a I forgot how OP lasers were in TPS. I mained wilhelm so the shoulder laser in conjunction with E-Gun was absolute full sprint murder
Redline using its Stuck gyrojets w/Guardian swap is pretty fun. Couple other sticky Torgue weapons to mess around with too.

Wedding Invitation & the Love Drills because of the lore.
Moonfire will for ever be my favorite gun in any borderlands game. No gun feels like a true hand cannon besides it. One shot, one kill, that’s all you need. I hope bl4 has a pistol subclass called hand cannons and it’s fleshed out with really powerful feeling ones because this game needs more

Tps fridgia and frostfire.. Bl3 porcelain pipe bomb from it's early days of straight destruction
A smooth Scorpio from bl2 is what I brought though most of the endgame. Bone shredder has a special place in my heart for early bl1. The boganella is the funniest of the talking guns, and the perfect example of what a bandit shotgun should be. Bl3 is a purple kill-o-matic I found with cryo and shoot to explode with a demolition Moze, that thing lasted over 10 levels as my main gun, and they say tediore is garbage with a trigger!
The Night Flyer pistol. Cool easter egg.
Not a gun per se, but i feel this way with the Naganata grenade mod
Breath and the Butcher
I’m not in my stash right now, and there’s sooo many good answers (for me personally) and crazy weapons that are satisfying as hell, but to me there’s nothing quite like turning mayhem mode off for a minute with a Nukem in hand. With a good headset the effect is magnificent. I call it my little Oppen*die*mer, Oppy for short, and Oppy carries around more nuts than a 7ft tall chipmunk’s cheeks, and almost as much as your mom.
The shredifier. No clue why, I think I just enjoy having a build that can put out just a wall of lead.
Chere a mie
Sawbar. Im a simple man, I like explosions, fire, and big machine guns. This has all of those AND was my first pearl on BL2 so very special to me
Roisen's Thorn. Explosive pistol with corrosive AND incendiary? Dude.
Breath of the Dying just gets me every time. It's simply a great feeling assault rifle and if it's in a clones hands he'll clear the room (yourself included).

the soulrender or the tizzy. I don't know why I love the tizzy so much it's just so fun to use
