Borderlands 3 offers a whole bag full of legendary items. We will show you here 10 of the best weapons, their locations, and special features.
Borderlands 3 has a huge pool of crazy guns to choose from. There is something for every class and playstyle. All legendary weapons, which are of the highest tier, have their own special feature.
In addition, there are the peculiarities of the 9 weapon manufacturers of Borderlands 3. We present you here 10 of the best weapons that should not be missing from any collection.
The Butcher – As fast as a machine gun
- Manufacturer: Hyperion
- Weapon Type: Shotgun
This is what the weapon can do: “The Butcher” has an incredibly high rate of fire. The abilities may not appear outstanding at first glance, but it plays like a fully automatic machine gun, compensating for everything else. Additionally, you have the chance to regain ammunition.
This is how you can farm “The Butcher”: The weapon is a reward from the “Loot-o-Gram”. You can get this item in Skywell 27 from Dinklebot. You can then exchange it for rewards with Earl on Sanctuary. It is also obtainable as a random world drop.
Crossroad – A dream for element lovers
- Manufacturer: Hyperion
- Weapon Type: SMG
This is what the gun brings: The “Crossroad” can be obtained with any element. It fires multiple projectiles at once. This allows you to deal significant elemental damage to your enemies in a short time.
This is where you can get the “Crossroad”: This SMG is a random world drop. You can get it from “Loot Tinks” or when you farm the boss Graveward.
One Pump Chump – For those who like it powerful
- Manufacturer: Jakobs
- Weapon Type: Shotgun
This is the special feature of “One Pump Chump”: This weapon would probably be the first choice for “Saitama” from the anime “One Punch Man”. It has a bonus on weapon damage and a “huge” magazine (one bullet). But there is a chance that shooting will not consume ammunition.
What this anime Easter egg is all about and where to get the legendary weapon, you can find out here:
Brainstormer – The shield killer
- Manufacturer: Hyperion
- Weapon Type: Shotgun
This is what the weapon can do: The “Brainstormer” is a shotgun with shock damage. It distributes projectiles to all enemies in the vicinity and destroys their shields. Especially, this weapon is worthwhile with elemental builds, but is also playable with other skill builds of the four classes of Borderlands 3.
This is how you get the “Brainstormer”: You can obtain this weapon as a random world drop, including from bosses.
Laser-Sploder – Laser and explosions?
- Manufacturer: Torgue
- Weapon Type: Assault Rifle
This is the special feature of the “Laser-Sploder”: As the name suggests, you shoot with lasers here. This beam is additionally supported by explosions. You also shoot small bombs that correspond to the weapon’s element.
This is where you can find the weapon: This gun is also a random world drop. You have the best chances probably from the boss Graveward.
Lyuda – Sniping bosses made easy
- Manufacturer: Vladof
- Weapon Type: Sniper
This is what the “Lyuda” brings: Despite the upcoming nerf in Borderlands 3, the “Lyuda” will likely remain one of the strongest snipers in the game. It has a massive damage output and is often used to defeat bosses.
This is how you get the gun: You get the Lyuda when you have defeated all opportunity targets from Zer0.
Flakker – For area damage fans
- Manufacturer: Torgue
- Weapon Type: Shotgun
This is what the “Flakker” can do: This shotgun shoots literally with explosions. With it, you can cause great area damage. This makes it a lot of fun in the endgame of Borderlands 3.
This is how you farm the weapon: The “Flakker” is a random world drop. Again, the boss Graveward is recommended as a farm spot.
Queens Call / Kings Call – Crit is everything
- Manufacturer: Jakobs
- Weapon Type: Pistol
This is what the guns do: The two pistols have a high critical damage. Additionally, they refill your magazine on critical hits. Due to a nerf, their rate of fire has been reduced, but they are still a very good choice for anyone who plays crit – like the Beastmaster FL4K.
This is where you get the pistols: You can obtain the “Queens Call” and the “Kings Call” from the boss Tyreen.
Lucian’s Call – Crit is still great
- Manufacturer: Vladof
- Weapon Type: Assault Rifle
This is the special feature of “Lucian’s Call”: This weapon also gives you projectiles back in your magazine on critical hits. So it is similar to “Queens Call” and “Kings Call”, a good choice for crit builds. It is available with all elements, including cryo damage, allowing you to slow down or even freeze your enemies.
This is how you get “Lucian’s Call”: Here again, the “Loot-o-Gram” helps you. You can farm this item from Dinklebot in Skywell 27 and exchange it with Earl on Sanctuary. Another option is again the world drop.
Face-Puncher – For the melee fighters among you
- Manufacturer: Hyperion
- Weapon Type: Shotgun
This is what the weapon can do: The “Face-Puncher” is, as the name suggests, optimal for melee fighters. Its damage scales with your melee damage.
This is how you can farm the “Face-Puncher”: “Face-Puncher” is a random world drop that you can also get from various bosses.
This is where you can see what Borderlands 3 looks like one month after release:
