In Borderlands 3 there are a multitude of powerful weapons. Even legendary weapons are abundant – which ones are worth getting?
What can this weapon actually do? Those who find legendary weapons in Borderlands 3 often do not immediately recognize what the firearm can actually do. Many abilities are hidden behind ominous description texts that reveal little.
However, some legendary weapons are perfect for further enhancing your Vault Hunter. While a lot depends on the respective build, it’s also important not to forget your own preferences. Here we show you some suggestions for weapons that you should try out with Zane, FL4K, Amara, and Moze.
3 strong legendary weapons for FL4K
Kings/Queens Call
If you are playing with FL4K, the probability is high that you will achieve as many critical hits as possible. The Kings Call and Queens Call are extremely well suited for such a FL4K build. They give you ammunition back when you score critical hits – and with FL4K’s “Fade Away” skill, that adds up quite a bit. Bosses can be dealt with very effectively using this weapon. You can obtain it in the fight against Tyreen the Destroyer.
The Butcher
The Butcher is a Hyperion shotgun that also appeared in earlier Borderlands games. It has a very high rate of fire and deals a lot of damage. It is also well suited for FL4K, as you gain ammunition back with critical hits using the right skills. You can obtain The Butcher as a world drop or, for example, through the Loot-o-Gram.
The Flood
The legendary weapon “The Flood” is primarily characterized by its extremely high rate of fire. It is not particularly accurate, but if you get close to your enemies and use the “Fade Away” skill, it still deals a lot of damage in a short time. You can find it as a world drop or from Lagromar in Konrad’s Hold.
3 strong legendary weapons for Amara
Face-Puncher
The Face-Puncher has a hidden ability: it deals melee damage. This means: the more you prioritize melee damage in your builds, the stronger the Face-Puncher becomes. For Amara players, this is the perfect shotgun. It is especially powerful against frozen enemies. You can find it as a world drop or from Handsome Jackie on Skywell-27.
Brainstormer
The Brainstormer is a very powerful weapon when it comes to melting shields. You can benefit greatly from it in the Maliwan Takedown. You have increased chances of obtaining the gun from Killavolt and Katagawa Ball. Especially as Amara, you should use it: the Siren’s skills can enhance the Brainstormer’s ability to fire multiple electric balls at enemies upon hits.
Cutsman
The Maliwan SMG Cutsman is a favorite among many players – not just those who play Amara. However, especially in conjunction with an elemental build, it is a very powerful weapon. Bosses can be defeated well with it. You can find it as a world drop or from Borman Nates.
3 strong legendary weapons for Zane
Redistributor
Getting the Redistributor is not exactly easy. You can obtain the SMG from the Valkyrie Squad or from Wotan in Maliwan Takedown. But it is worth it – especially if you have the new Class Mod “Seein Dead” from the DLC.
Because it gives Zane the chance to activate all his kill skills – just through hits from his weapon. The Redistributor chains hits to several enemies, and every seventh shot is additionally reinforced. For Zane with “Seein Dead,” it is the perfect weapon to continuously activate kill skills.
Night Hawkin
The Night Hawkin is especially a favorite among Zane players who use Cryo builds. Additionally, the weapon has the special ability to become a fire elemental weapon at night while dealing cryo damage during the day. You can obtain it as a world drop or, with increased chances, from Demoskaggon.
Lucians Call
The Lucians Call is a strong alternative if you prefer playing with assault rifles instead of SMGs. The cryo version is especially popular among Zane players, especially if you use “Seein Dead.” With critical hits, it produces additional ricochets and gives you back ammunition – it’s also a good alternative for FL4K. You can obtain it as a world drop or from the Loot-o-Gram.
3 strong legendary weapons for Moze
Lucky 7
If you have optimized Moze for a lot of ammunition regeneration, the Lucky 7 can help you, for example, take down bosses in seconds. The special DLC weapon comes with a lot of bonuses and is also worth it for other classes. You can obtain it as a world drop in the Handsome Jackpot.
Flakker
The Flakker represents explosions. As a Torgue shotgun, it is perfect for Moze players if you want to deal a lot of splash damage. The combination was so good that the Flakker was nerfed – but it is still quite useful! You can find it as a world drop and from Manvark.
Laser-Sploder
The Laser-Sploder fires constant lasers and exploding rockets. That pretty much says it all. Moze benefits from the splash damage of the laser rocket launcher and can cause a lot of havoc. Additionally, the Laser-Sploder comes in various elemental variants. You can find it as a world drop or from Sylestro.
Of course, you can also use these weapons easily with other Vault Hunters. If you are looking for a weapon that shoots everything to pieces with any class, you should take a look here:
