Normally the Monarch is the workhorse, but I've been shredding things lately with the OPQ System, Revolter and a Cosmic Stalker with two Atlas passives.
I love the Bekah but it really needs a place where it drops, all of the other crew challenge awards have drops. I’m cool with it being locked to raid, or takedown drops it just needs something that isn’t a brand new character every time.
I agree though granted there is a way to get it without starting a new character you just have to wait till maurice sells them but you’re still right it needs a dedicated drop source
Didn't expect to see the Trickshot or The Garcia on this list but by golly, they look fun with the right setup! Another great vid my dude! Looking forward to the Zane and Amara ones!
Spoiler alert, the best zane gun is all of them. EDIT: no really though, if you thought fl4k could make any gun good, zane is on another level, check out moxsy's infinity pistol zane build. If he can make the infinity pistol work, there isn't a gun he can't rock.
Speedloading hellwaker is by far my favorite for flak or anyone really. Getting it at level 35 and using it at 55 still just killing mobs one and done with a crit. I can't wait to get it again at level cap. And the skullmasher is agreeably the best sniper. 👌
Only just hit lv40 (my first time playing) but I'm loving the Stark Krakatoa, especially with Fade Away. My BF and my Spiderant run in and aggro everything while I stay back and headshot crit every target in sight. Sad that I've outlevelled my Butcher, but got some other lovely weapons like Venomous Nemesis and Subsidized Powerhouse Fearmonger I get to use now instead. Great fun!
As usual, a respectable list, although my order is a little different. Because fl4k Action Skill is so different I'd love to see s Top 5 list for evry Action Skill...
God I love those three in the thumbnail Pretty much anything from Jakobs is my favorite on flak just because it’s so fun to pull the trigger. Bonus points if it’s homing projectiles.
The "Monarch" of multi-pellet? Watching M10 Katagawa Ball die in under three seconds with only a M6 cryo Monarch, level 70, and 1-2 guardian perks... Good times.
Atlas Plumage rocket launcher +Atlas Company man artifact with atlas weapon damage and atlas critical damage effect + Bounty hunter or stalker class mod+ Fade Away. Just try it. First use tracker grenade of Plumage and after use fade away and fire. Seeking rockets with critical damage.
Hey spartan, I was wondering if you'd be interested in making a video about what your favorite character is,favorite gear and weapon set up. And what other games you love? But most of all what your all time favorite game is? If not, I understand. Love the channel and content!
I have been back in love with playing with FL4K lately and my all time favorite gun right now for him is the Clairvoyance. I love it, and I use it for all content in the game. I keep a masher and a gatlin' in 2 slots at all times. The other are a Maggie and a Rowan's. It's such a fun setup.
I'd still prefer the butcher on fl4k because of that high fire rate which gives me shorter times between fade away and the fact I practically never have to reload the thing
Can't wait for Zane's vid bro..... I got all 4 vault hunters maxed out but I'm a Zane main, and the Gunner. The pyro burst is the new cmt on elemental crack lol and way more splash damage
I have a question: what would be a good base damage for the Monarch? I know the higher the better but I have one with 12,879x4 no element: is that average, weak, or strong. I'm just trying to see if I need to upgrade, particularly if it is on weak side. I know its a strong weapon but I wanna know where mine stands, mostly because I've had terrible luck farming it. I only have the base game if that matters.
Its pretty great on all VHs so its good to have every element. There is a x8 one, but it uses too much ammo. The versions without a scope usually have the highest base damage, and with FL4K you’re always in close anyways, so I like those.
I'm assuming your gameplay is either mayhem level 10 or 11 when showcasing how effective these weapons are? Hopefully it's not something super low where the enemies die super easily.
I know this video is 2 years old at this point, but I wanted to mention that you showed the wrong spot on the map for skullmasher, not sure if it's been mentioned already.
Kind of sad the Butcher didn't make an appearance in the honorable mentions. Been using it on my canon/barrier zane and it shreds harder than my lightshows, but in particular being able to take those fl4k points out of ammo perks and into more damage perks seems like it'd have high potential, but maybe I just don't play enough fl4k to know better.
@@lassekorsholmjrgensen4508 I love the butcher but try hitting the raid bosses with the acid balls that spawn when you crit kill a regular varkid. It's a bit tricky but the damage is insane...half the armor bar in one hit.
Ruby's Wrath is a great off meta choice. Drop a vortex grenade. Fade Away and pull the trigger three times without GitM. Watch the whole swarm crit with the stacking 3 shot crit damage augment. Profit. Edit: The Good Juju is an incredibly satisfying FL4K weapon for mobbing. Slap on a N2M of choice, maybe get it in corrosive green for the classic Destiny look, and devour the universe with Megavore. Juju was never this good in Destiny.
I took a break from borderlands since I platinumed 3 not long after release Got my interest again as Tiny Tina Wonderland isn't far away. Recently got a bunch of trophies for BL2, platinum for BL1, bunch of Pre Sequel, and running through the DLCs for BL3 (never played them before - all good so far). Farmed flipper and monarchs for a while and just got a mayhem 10 lvl 72 hellwalker What element would you recommend for flipper for general use?
Flipper works with anything. Mine is fire/lightning. I think best would be fire/corrosiv. But so far I've had 0 issues clearing trash n bosses with the flipper
@@nanosgb6583 thanks. I flip (Hur Hur...) Between flipper and monarchs, everything just melts. Using a radiation flipper mostly - haven't farmed for the shock version... I'll get back on it soon
@@Water-ix4yr as someone who works all the time, I’ve had 31 days off this year including holidays I honestly don’t have a lot of time to game let alone farm. Outside of 3 days at Thanksgiving and Christmas I’ll be working every day the rest of the year. So at this point if you want to call it cheating, I’m ok with it because I don’t feel bad about it. I might have had 3000+ hours on BL2 but back then, I had more free time. lol.
How u get this firerate and dmg ön weapons? I get lvl 72, farm weapons, but i cant get 60-80k dmg on pistols, all was max 40 (mayhem lvl 11) what can do?
I just got this Garcia and doing normal damage. just normal shots. good damage, but it doesn't what you do in the video. was it nerfed? tks for the video
You probably have already figured this out by now but on the green skill tree (left side) there's a slot 1/2 perk that lets you trade the bonus CD for more than 3 shots
Anointments Piss grenade damage combining(as if you have a 20% bonus to splash damage and 20% to gun damage it will equal more damage then just 40% gun damage)
I'm like on mayhem 8 about to go to 9 and when I'm grinding it's so annoying the gun you want doesn't wanna show up. I been grinding 20 damn times on several of the bosses/mini bosses to get my damn weapons. My load out consists of their monarch (of course), flipper (my bae), Maggie (meh? It's pretty good but I want an automatic pistol), plaguebearer (decent but not enough especially when all I get is radiation, cryo, corrosive, and shock. I been grinding and have 8 different plague bearer and none of them is fire) Not only that I'm grinding these weapons for my new characters when I reach lvl 72 with them and have the weapons already prepared but I still need specific ones cuz there's so many that's not even anointed to the right person or even good effects on it.
I see you are playing on mayhem 11 and getting a bunch of drops. I played for 3 day's on it and got almost nothing for drops. Switched to mayhem 10 and drops where everywhere(thankfully I rolled some good modifiers).
I'll be honest, I like the Boom Sickle more than The Monarch, more damage and I treat it like a shotgun... and Fade Away Hellwalker ambush playstyle is the best for takedowns.
@@metallicnole4514 i don't either, and I'll probably never buy it. Stick to the reflux, monarch, backburner, and plaguebearer. If you have season 1 get the lightshow, flipper, the pearl, old god, and complex root. You'll be good for endgame.
FL4K is a robot that doesn't mess around. What is your go to weapon when your taking it to some humanoids?
hellwalker and maggie
rowans call
Soulrender
Monarch
Normally the Monarch is the workhorse, but I've been shredding things lately with the OPQ System, Revolter and a Cosmic Stalker with two Atlas passives.
I thought he was just going to rattle off almost every other legendary for a minute there before the #1. LOL!
Almost sounded like he said all except Malak's Bane. jeez. So much for a top 10 with a few honorable mentions.
That's balanced character for ya
A lot of great options
I love the Bekah but it really needs a place where it drops, all of the other crew challenge awards have drops. I’m cool with it being locked to raid, or takedown drops it just needs something that isn’t a brand new character every time.
I totally agree. I have been waiting 2 years for them to add it somewhere.
Should drop from Jakobs chests on Eden 6 or something tbh
Hope there is a mod or GB themselves to patch sp that challenge guns to be dropped after the challenge is completed
It's funny.... during the loot tink Tuesday thing I was getting multiple
I agree though granted there is a way to get it without starting a new character you just have to wait till maurice sells them but you’re still right it needs a dedicated drop source
I just started this game, get a level 10 hellwalker with 540% damage. It one shotted most things up to level 30, a hell of a weapon.
I have a hellwalker in mayhem 10, man, it melts everything
@@rebeccabarbosa978 I got one with a 150 damage boost on targets over 90% health. Nasty.
i got a faisor at level 12, the underbarrel one shot everything until after the agoniser 9000
Multi-tap is one of my favorites with flak, if it had a faster tracking dart like the replay it might be my #1 gun for flak
Absolutely love your vids man...your format and delivery is top notch. Keep up the good work!
Appreciate it man!

As usual, a respectable list, although my order is a little different. Because fl4k Action Skill is so different I'd love to see s Top 5 list for evry Action Skill...
I personally love the Hail on FL4K. Well, I just love the Hail in general, but on FL4K it's just on another level.
The hail just carried me through the late game. It's really good
Wow! Learning about the Garcia shotgun and farming it was a real treat!! Thanks!
Got rowan's call and hellwaker, and yes, they are very good weapons
God I love those three in the thumbnail
Pretty much anything from Jakobs is my favorite on flak just because it’s so fun to pull the trigger. Bonus points if it’s homing projectiles.
as a fl4k main THANK YOU SO MUCH
6:26
What fl4k build is that?
It takes me three minutes to kill a single Anointed and now I want God-hood
So...still the king of multi pellet then? Hell yes!
The "Monarch" of multi-pellet?
Watching M10 Katagawa Ball die in under three seconds with only a M6 cryo Monarch, level 70, and 1-2 guardian perks... Good times.

Awesome weapons dude! Thanks really appreciate it time to start farming some of them!! Cheers!
The hellshock maliwan pistol works really well with flek aswell
"if that hasn't got you hooked already...then you arent a fish" haha that tickled me abit not gonna lie 😂😂
Im going to be grinding for a standardized multi tap w 150% fadeaway damage. Even without the annointment its kind of awesome
I wish they still supported this game. :( Love ur content even after I've seen it all 3 times
Hey spartan, I was wondering if you'd be interested in making a video about what your favorite character is,favorite gear and weapon set up. And what other games you love? But most of all what your all time favorite game is? If not, I understand. Love the channel and content!
the rowans call is insane on fl4k
With the "On enemy kill, weapon dmg/reload speed" stacks... It's otherworldly.
Love Drill, Wagon Wheel, One Pump Chump, Companion, Amazing Grace. Can't go wrong with Jakobs except for maybe the Shoddy
What is your build that when in fade away it just melts enemies...like damn man thats insane

Are we gonna get a flak build from ya?
The kings/queens call is really good for him too
Best legendary weapons for Fl4k: Any elemental Jakobs and/or multi-pellet/projectile weapon.
Waited so long for a vid of yours with that topic also u should make some videos completely with dlc guns and some with none
I'd still prefer the butcher on fl4k because of that high fire rate which gives me shorter times between fade away and the fact I practically never have to reload the thing
That gun is pretty useful on any character tbh.
@@MLWJ1993 true it gives the most daka to me considering critical hits and the constant hit increase anointment
What is that fade away build? Looks insane. I cant even do that
Can't wait for Zane's vid bro..... I got all 4 vault hunters maxed out but I'm a Zane main, and the Gunner. The pyro burst is the new cmt on elemental crack lol and way more splash damage
Random thought lol.
Nice Video ! Do you plan to upload a guide on fl4k builds ? like you did for the others characters ?
Love using the plaguebearer and kings/queens call

New to bl3 here. Does anyone know what are those linear shots that go along with the gun? Or how to get them?
Can you make a Video about your fl4k Build ?
im glad they didnt lock the monarch one of if not the best weapon in the game behind a dlc
500 farms in tyreen and still haven't gotten the fire queen/kings call. I've gotten every other element like 15 times
Very nice
How is it that I have twice the DPS on The Butcher as opposed to the Hellwalker? Mayhem 10 lvl 72 of course.
What is the name of the grenade he used that sent skulls everywhere?
Ghast Call, drops from the Halloween Event
Before watching this I used tue monarch and the heart bringer is a really good pair
Meanwhile I'm over here with the hail taking down hermivorus and very at the same time
The butcher is underrated on fl4k
I justo love fadeaway Fl4k, incredible damage and very fun to use. Tried gamma burst and rakkatack and did not like them.
How do u get those purple bullets at the start? Im everytime impressed lol
That's from fade away. All my guns shoot purple/blue bullets when fade away
how do you get the damaqe like that? i still having trouble killing anointed enemy
How does your fade away last so long?
Can somebody help me I have all of these weapons at level 72 but I'm doing nowhere near that much damage. How?? I'm playing M10
Guardian points
Anointments
Piss grenade
damage combining(as if you have a 20% bonus to splash damage and 20% to gun damage it will equal more damage then just 40% gun damage)

How does his king's call have 12 mag size?
Did you really say " the lucians call is a jakobs weapon with vladof firing capabilities"???
How is the convergence not on this list?
I was sad they nerf the sticky bomb damage but still the guns in this lists are way better now
Just run buttplug on all 4 slots for every character you’ll do fine.
lucians call is also a perfect fl4k gun

It absolutely destroys with Fade Away.
Honourable mentions “he’s good with every gun” 😆
I wonder which weapons are still good without perfect bonuses to artifacts and class mods
Plasma coiler, OPQ, unkempt harold to name a few
Most of the newer dlc weapons are. That's how they designed it.
