The only fault it has is that it does cause splash damage, which can FFYL you quickly if you don’t fire it at the correct distance. OPQ – This Assault Rifle is really good because of its damage output and decent splash damage. Get this from the final boss in the Guardian Takedown. It’s also great with other classes, just so you know. SMOG – This SMG is significantly better in the hands of a tanky Amara build that doesn’t mind shooting enemies in a stationary manner you need to put up the SMOG’s weapon shields to get the best damage (ie: use iron sights). Available from the Minosaur and as a World Drop from DLC 3. It’s way better on Moze, but it’s great on other Vault Hunters too. Found in Arms Race.įlipper – We love the Flipper’s damage output, elemental prowess, and firing rate after its charge. Even if it fires in a burst rate, this is one weapon that will get you through most of the harder content, regardless of the Vault Hunter you’re using. This SMG kills things really, really fast even though it’s Shock elemental-locked. Plasma Coil – One of the best reasons to farm in Arms Race. SMGsīlood-Starved Beast – Another tough-to-farm gun, but it’s worth it just for its damage and output. All Vault Hunters can benefit from the perks of this pistol and its generous firing rate. Found in Arms Race.įree Radical – From the Director’s Cut DLC comes this funky rapid-fire pistol that shoots out additional rockets without the need for alt-fire nonsense. Just switch out if you’re mobbing you’ll run out of ammo quick if you do. Tizzy – It’s one of the best boss melters in the game with most builds, bar none. Gargoyle – Elemental-locked, but still deals great damage super-fast. What’s not to love about 2020’s most-beloved elemental pistol in Borderlands 3? Found in DLC 3. Light Show – Fast firing rate, great at close to mid-range, and perfect for most builds. With that out of the way, let’s begin! S Tier

There’s a heckaton of them in Borderlands 3, so we’re bound to forget one or two. If there’s a gun missing, let us know.Some guns here have better support abilities than damage-dealing abilities, so we’re classifying these under Support Tier.Handsome Jackpot = DLC 1, Guns Love Tentacles = DLC 2, Bounty of Blood = DLC 3, Krieg & Fantastic Fustercluck = DLC 4.
