The beauty of BL3 is that certain weapons are stupid OP on certain Vault hunters, like the Flipper on Moze or the blade fury on an Amara melee build. Then you have certain guns that are great on any build, like the OPQ or radical, but you can then buff everything with class mods, anoints, shields and artifacts. The developers had to get that balance right or every build would use the most OP weapons in the game and there's no variety which is why I supopose they buffed some and debuffed others.
Huh never even thought about which type was better? 🤔🧐 now to watch and learn Happy holidays to everyone and thanks for all your time and effort putting these together
I knew from the top weapon tier lists which type would win. Number 1 had just a stacked list of OP weapons that everyone can use really well without specing into them, they're really good out of the box in most cases. I hope that with Borderlands 4 we can see some shakeup and get some great weapons for the bottom of this list.
Only natural for SMGs to win here. If you have a Plasma Coil, Kaoson, Flipper, Crit in your 4 weapon slots you'll delete everything from your screen from existence with ease.
Haven't even watched the video but in my experience pistols and smg's tie first, shotguns edged out assault rifles for third place by one point followed by snipers for 4th place and rocket launchers for fifth. Yes I realize there's the yellow cake and the kick charger but for ammo consumption and accuracy they are mostly just giant Target weapons.
I love the hellwalker, maggie and all my ARs but I know that there can’t be any other choice but the SMGs for this. There are just too many good options. If you get a plasma coil at lvl 13 in arms race you know you don’t need any other weapons to beat the game.
It’s a very reliable main mobbing weapon for early game that is still usable later. Its main draws come from being able to be farmed reliably in the first big map in the game.
I'm a Maliwan fanboy and I very rarely use any COV weapons and I keep getting blown up by those Tediore one's🤣🤣 I tend to use pistols and SMG's for normal play and then switch up to AR's and shotguns when ity starts getting busier. The launchers come out when I'm grinding or bossing for those sweet orange weapons but we all have our favourites and we know what weapons are gonna be top. Stuff like the Harold, complex root, beacon, dark army, monarch, radical and so on.... Great video though👍👍👍👍👍
Def like to see manufacturers. (Spoiler: I think Maliwan takes it). I love learning more about the weapons. SMGs, I think takes this. Plasma Coil, Flipper come on bro........
Hope you guys enjoy this one! If you did, let me know and we might see Battle of the Manufacturers in 2025 👀
Let's go!

Also the fact that EVERY weapon can kill enemies with one or two support items like the revolter and the pearl
I find it hard to believe SMGs lose this before watching! But we shall see
Dang free radical carries!
@@lucaspark2790 and the Harold and Beacon....
Personal bias, SMGs and Pistols are the GOAT
Wow! Great video! Rating the Crit so high is diabolical!
The Blood Starved Beast cries in the Shadow of the Kaoson 😂
honestly, never played until this week and the most fun ive had so far are with some of the cool unique smgs and pistols lol
For episode two you should do weapon category but pit each company weapon in that category against each other
This is a great idea
Just by knowing the Plasma Coil, I knew SMGs would win.
Go over each manufacturer. Their top weapons for each slot
I use the night hawkin the whole game
This was an excellent video. Top notch.
SMGs are my favorite weapon type in the Borderlands franchise so i agree!
Thanks for t he upload!

Bl3 really improved ars since bl2. Theyve had the biggest glowup since bl2

Lightshow beating the plague bearer is kinda sad. But hey to each their own
SMGs ans Pistols are a lot of fun in BL3, i like the enormous variety of options to choose

What a cool video. Very informative and entertaining. Congratulations on your work. For me Borderlands 3 is the best of the franchise.
Appreciate it man and yes Borderlands 3 is a banger
I know it maybe controversial but my favorite smg is the Nighthawken
It’s a very reliable main mobbing weapon for early game that is still usable later. Its main draws come from being able to be farmed reliably in the first big map in the game.
My favorites are good Jakobs pistols. I prefer to lay out good heavy damage on a well-placed shot than to throw crap-tons of ammo at the enemy.
Would you do this for other bl games too, including ttwl?
Snipers required double the current ammo capacity. The most usual is obviously assault rifles.
Rowan approves of the Rowans' call inclusion.
Jericho, Red Suit, Hustler, you're welcome
Few words. Maliwan SMG supremacy
Still. Why isn't Atlas Replay in top 10 is Criminal.
No Hail for the AR? Recount!
Pistols in Borderlands are my favorite.

Hypersion Shotguns will always be my favorite.
The plaguebarer is a lot better then you gave it credit for imo
Def like to see manufacturers. (Spoiler: I think Maliwan takes it). I love learning more about the weapons. SMGs, I think takes this. Plasma Coil, Flipper come on bro........
Snipers and Launchers better than shotguns? C'mon.
Shotty have fallen so hard in life if this is true
Strange, i never use launchers, maybe i want to get in touch
I didn't until this year when I found SGZ and his video on launchers. I have a plaguebearer or hive/guardian angel combo in my backpack now.
@@Holycurative9610 well then, i will give it a try, if you say so
