Hey guys, I'm getting this up a little later than I wanted but today I wanted to go over what I think are the Top 7 Best Eridian Guns and Weapons from Borderlands 1! I'm going to be including Blue or unique rarity as well as light yellow or legendary eridian weapons to. So this list will include eridian legendaries as well.
As always, if you liked this video, please be sure to leave a like and let me know what you think!

Fun trivia. The binary on the Eridian cannon is the universal timecode from Futurama.
The red text for the lightning is, "I feel like I'm gonna break this thing." It's a reference to Will Smith's line in Men In Black, when he gets the Noisy Cricket.
Eridians : make eridian weapons
Also Eridians : *don't use eridian weapons*
- Skyrim -
Dwarves : make dwarven armor
Also Dwarves : don’t use dwarven armor
Logan Kelly dwarves are literally dead in Skyrim lol
ThRiVe haha true, I always thought it was funny tho that they made man sized armor but they never interacted with the above ground world
Dwarves are dead they mysteriously disappeared many belive they timetravled
@@logankelly9581 you know dwarven armor doesnot come from dwarfs but ftom dwemmer in skyrim and thats an elfish race there with a simular hight of other humanoid races in tambriel
I've always thought Eridian weapons were garbage. I don't disagree with the order however. They just lack true power. You give Lilith a Double Anarchy and it's game over.
Or a "Double Helix" (twisted barrel + twin-sh0t accessory).
I never liked them either, always just sold them
I think these are way more Unique then the etech weapons, also they look bloody sick
Pvt.Mitch1208 same thing I was thinking
Pvt.Mitch1208 i want them to be added back in in borderlandss 3 with both lasers and etech
as well as seperate what makes legendaries legendary again so allow for hybreeds (i dont care if there gen 1 pearls i calling dem the HIGH BREED)
They are way better
They need to bring back both Eridian and Atlas weapons in BL3.
Slender Man 186 the thing is, Atlas got the hell off pandora. Atlas GUNS are still there, but they'd really just be floating around, changing hands. S&S however can and should come back.
+Deamons64 we have to wonder though: what would their manufacturer gimmick be?
Slender Man 186 just go back to how it was before. Super high mag capacity, good damage, slow reload. Make bandit like OG tediore. Balanced stats, lower mag capacity, and maybe lower damage but with really fast reloads.
I get why they got rid of S&S munitions
The artists didn't want to make another fancy looking gun and wanted to make a gun that had a "made from scrap parts" feel. They essentially have the same effect as the S&S guns, minus the almost always being elemental. Although I do agree Atlas and eridian should come back, just because atlas left Pandoratheir guns that were already here just didn't disappear. Lots of people kept them as treasures.
...Eridian - yes, with more types and variety + melee weapons ...
.... Atlas - no ... [or i don't care in case it replaces Bandit] ...
I've easily sunk 2,000 hours into Borderlands 1.
Never have I seen any legendary eridian weapons.
Just my luck!
Not even in Knoxx's armory with the armory glitch?
I never actually use the Eridian Weapons I just like to collect them and stick em in the bank back at Moxxis underdome
same
BatHulkSmash same 😂
PepperoniCactus aaaayyyyyy I stick modded weapons in the bank instead
BatHulkSmash smh they were some of the best and i used the lightning all the time and the shotgun was overkill if you got a decent version
BatHulkSmash moxxis panty house is for storing legends and eridians and hybreed weapons nuttin else if it becomes reduntent it gets sold or fed to skagzilla
I owned Borderlands and played the entire lifetime without internet connection. So when I discovered these awesome, rare alien guns I became fascinated with them and collected several. The lightning shotgun was def my favorite of them all!
What does internet connection has to do with eridian guns dropping
@@aaron_4548 disconnection from outside info and an idea of what it could be since the drop rate is so low
@@yessir2033 yep. These are cool comments. Great nostalgia communicates!
Honestly I think the guns are cool and all, but I think there are other normal guns are just more useful.
True. That being said, for half of my trip through CL4P-TP's Robot Revolution, I was using an Eridian rifle in place of a sniper. Then I found a Volcano and I began making sacrifices to Pele.
I remember when I first played BL:1 I thought that you needed to get maximum proficency with the eridian weapons to make them viable. Hours of grinding later made for a massive disappointment. However, as stated in the video the thunder storm is actually pretty decent in CQC. Also, shooting corpses with the thunderstorm is a joy since the knockback with the weapon is one, if not the greatest in the game if i recall correctly.
Savage unforgiven which is x7 is pretty great too
They are pretty decent with max proficiency and I found the best way to level up weapon classes are killing the Eridian before you head to the vault cause they drop a good amount of XP even if you are several levels higher but this is only good if you are using Mordecai since he can bypass shields
A low level, decent parts lightning can actually be pretty good early on. Also, have a cannon on the first play through in the zombie DLC, group them up and fire once or twice.
Super Shadow 99 wait WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT SINCE WHEN COULD MORDACAI DO THAT HE WAS LITERALL THE ONLY CHARACTER I PLAYED I TRIED OTHERS BUT COULDNT GET INTO THEM SINCE WHEN COULD MORDO BOI SHOOT THROUGH SHIELDS
It's the final skill in his sniper tree. Put 5 points in that and bypass shields forever.
That's it, you have convinced me to go back on borderlands 1 😬
Daniel Rivers yeah me too i want to play it so bad now
facts
Yup, the lack of story and exposition in BL1 make it fun to play again, as you can just focus on combat. I got on a serious BL2 kick again lately, and the campaign gets boring about midway through your second playthrough, but BL1.....if you know what you’re doing, and utilize DLC areas at the very start of the campaign to XP boost and buy all of the orange ammo capacity SDUs, it makes the game easy and still really fun to play.
I get why BL2 is the best of the series, but I love the music and atmosphere of BL1 so much more.
I agree with the fact that Eridian weapons aren't the best, but they are by far the most fun to use. Especially when using only Eridian weapons.
My personal use of eridian weapons was always to collect thunder storms, keep the strongest four and use only those. After that, you can just keep using them and switching to the next one after running out of ammo. Probably doesn't sound that great, but I was able to rush into any squad of enemies like that.
i recall my first kill on Crawmerax, me and my buddy tagged teamed him with two Lilith's useing the Thunder Storm, that shock shotgun is lethal on him.
My first eridian weapon (the cannon) felt way better than it really was, i got it in a chest RIGHT after my first encounter with the eridians in the "ghosts of the vault" sidequest. it just felt grand to get such an alien looking gun at a pretty low level, i used it for a bit but damn was it underwhelming for such a "fateful encounter"
i felt the same way about it, but then again the cannon is one of, if not the worst eridian weapon. if i had gotten the thunder storm or the eridian lightning instead it would've been so much better. I'm surprised he didn't list the eridian lightning to be completely honest, it carried me such a long way through the game and almost always killed with one shot
I didn't even know there WERE legendary Eridian weapons, I never seen them before...
They were only added in the General Knoxx DLC, for only a few variants, and rarity is comparable to Pearlescents (which were added and are only found in the General Knoxx DLC) in this game.
Legendary Eridian Weapons are rarer then Perlescent weapons.
Xineombine yeah me too
Xineombine normal blue eridian are as rsre if not more so then legendaries so legendary eridian weapons are rarer then hybrids
@@miletilblight2181 Depends on the hybrid, if we're talking Nemesis/Invader Hybrid then no, because that's the rarest weapon in the entire game, but rarer than say an Ajax Ogre yeah. Also perfect pearls are much rarer than Legendary Eridian weapons.
I think the shock rifle is one of if not the best eridian weapon cause it acts as a sniper with a huge DOT effect
glad to see you making videos again. love to watch them. and your dual personality
I'm working on getting a new video out as frequently as possible. My life has been all over the place this month.
I think you are doing just fine 😉
awesome top 7!!!!!!!! Love it. Keep it up man, it means a lot to me. The only intresting borderlands content posted this day! :)
I'm starting to use them more, one thing people miss most in bl1 is weapon proficiency, the more you use the gun the better the bonus, since the eridian guns are pretty rare during a normal play through no one levels up its proficiency, the max proficiency bonus is like +48% damage and +102% cooldown rate, which could make these guns much better
Agreed. I've always liked using the Thunder Storm because of its high damage potential. It's not so great on its own, but if you're going for a full Eridian build (all four slots using Eridian weapons), you'll want this one in there for a quick swap to deal some damage. It can be invaluable for saving you from death if your enemies are swarming you. Just pay close attention to how many shots it has and swap it out the minute it's out of "ammo" or you'll die waiting for it to recharge like I used to do soooo much when I first made an Eridian build.
Sometimes, when I was lucky enough to find multiple thunder storms with nearly same base damages I would load 3 or 4 into my load out, the amount of ass that kicks is damn near inconceivable. Boss battles never ended so fast.
I agree with your #1 pick. That weapon was really fun before I out leveled it. :)
I seriously hope to see a comeback of the eridian guns in borderlands 3, the E tech and moonstone weapons were pretty cool, but eridian weapons were by far the most unique type of weapon in the entire franchise
Awesome video like always love the borderlands 1 count downs
I remember getting a thunderstorm around level 12-ish i think? That thing literrally carried me to endgame, it was amazing. Its one of my favorite guns i've used in games period. I hope bl3 reintroduces the eldritch guns, tbe idea for them is fantastic
I love watching you attempt to kill enemies with Eridian weapons, run out of ammo and then melt them with the pearl pistol or an anarchy haha
Gotta say you do pretty good at getting videos out in comparison to some youtubers I know.
You da man. Been watching your videos for 7 months now
Border lands 1 remaster
_NUMB_ WHEN IS THIS GONNA HAPPEN
AND A REALLY WIERD OPTION TO PLAY THROUGH THE BORDERLANDS 2 STORY EXCEPT TINAS TELLING THE WHOLE THING AND YOU CAN PLAYS AS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL FOUR
_NUMB_ also a switch port would be appreciated grinding takes time and i dont have all day to sit at a computer or console so gimme it on switch so i cant slaughter bandits on the go
it also might give bl a bigger audience i japan since they play most of there games on mobile
Your dream came true 😉
Yes
It has happened
i feel like the first game has been forgotten and overlooked its nice to see videos like this
hey there. new to your channel and like the content. decent video but out of the Eridium blasters, i didn't see the "ball blaster" what is nice about that one is that it's pretty much the first borderlands 2 tourge assault rifle in borderlands 1 but using the lightning element. also that hole video about lilith using them which is nice considering you get high elemental performance out of them but that for ones who goes for lilith.
My favorite is the blaster with the homing shots. Plus you can never go wrong with a gun that has "unlimited" ammo.
My first play through I got a somehow glitched 001 cannon without a scope that did "9999999..." damage and fired quite fast without draining the charge (killed anything in one hit even bosses)
I discovered that the thunderstorm gun has a hidden effect. It completely destroys flying things like rakks and stuff. I just kind of aim it upward and all the rakks in the vicinity die from the lightning strike + chain lightning. It's a good weapon against flying enemies, but not very strong against ground enemies.
That nemesis invader tho
I freaking love the thunderstorm, great backup weapon for close range fights.
Sweet I can find now thanks puma
The best way to get more shots with all of these is to have mutiple in your invintory
In fact i had a brick that had 4 eriduim shot guns and i was pretty invinsible
Very interesting, did not know there where so msny types. I have a 68 siren on the go atm, may try some of these out.
Im so glad I got this game in the steam winter sale this year. I can't wait to farm craw and the armory :D
Good to see you back at it VP!
I've been farming for ages for those things. I have all of them now and it was all worth it.
Ive got about 30 or so pearlescents through farming them from craw or armory, but NEVER EVER saw a single legendary eridian. Those things are so freakin rare... Only surpassed by the Invader Nemesis.
I just remember getting an eridian weapon and going nuts haha. Usually from the chest where Tanis is at where you have to parkour to get to
I personally love most of the eridian weapons.
But only when they have the right battery, the skinny little phallic one with a tip on it, it makes them charge super fast, which is good for getting the elements on the enemy and then switching to another weapon.
The thunderstorm absolutely chews through guardians at the promontory when up close.
I remember getting some sort of sniper that seems to clean house fairly well
I actually used these weapons a fair bit myself. Got a weapon proficiency over 36 with them. Stack them in 3 weapon slots and you can keep switching Between then whenever their charge is empty. I had an SMG as my 4th just in case stuff hit the fan - which was rare tbf. Was fun never needing to reload. There are also different "crystal" parts (with the blue tracing glowing effects) that determine max charge/recharge speed and high damage/slow recharge/minimum charge and things like that. Very cool finding a god roll on some of em - especially the wave blaster. Can snipe enemies from a distance with it and not worry bout anything haha.
Makes me wonder if T.K came across one of these "wave" rifles and somehow reverse engineered one. Side note- The larger oscillations on his shotgun could likely be from not being able to tune the weapon right after losing his eye sight.
The corrosive eridian rifle is the only reason I made it through my first fort knoxx run, such a good gun
You can also farm lilith's eridian warrior class mod to give these an extra boost
That one pistol with all the elements, is that modded with willow tree? The one I made a long time ago on my 360 if I ads and empty the clip my 360 would freeze 😂good times! Great video!
Got the thunder storm from scar while you were talking about it
Borderlands 1 was the only game I played when I was 6. I got the game of the year edition for my birthday and played it nonstop. I met this kid online and his name was like Bloodshot or Handshot or something like that, but he gave me a modded shield and a modded invisible gun which one shot everyone except for cramerax because you had to shoot the purple spots. My xbox glitched and my friends list was wiped and I never played with him again. Those were the days. My name on the 360 was really bad too. Poopierichie
... i didn't know there are that many Eridian weapons, have only seen 5 ... Thunderstorm is very nice, always carry one with Lilith for bandits ... Lightning served quite well too, at least in first playthrough ...
AkelasanAK ,I have 4 cannons 2 lightning 1 thunder and something else
Edit:Wave blaster
The thunderstorm is hands down the best and most satisfying eridian weapon in BORDERLANDS
Looks like we have something in common VP. We both love the Eridian Thunderstorm.
Only ever got Eridian Lightning and the cannon the Lightning's red text is "it feels like I'm going to break this thing."
hey puma you ok?
Can you do best and worst skills for borderlands 1?
also the only reason I farmed eridiim guns were because the destroyer has an insane health pool and it's nice to have a backup weapon. infinity for bl2 and eridian weps for bl1
I remember back in the day of bl1! 😍
cool video
I'm currently playing BL with my sis and were have fun with the dlc's and I am a revovler man my self and shotgun , because I like westerns lol.
I always loved getting the Sniper Rifle and Shotgun versions because the shock damage on those things... Oof!
as long as you have a site it's pretty good guns that like the stock pistol have no sides of their invisible and it looks like you're holding a toy gun
I miss the eridian guns in the first borderlands
they should bring them back
also the thunderstorm shotgun one is my favorite as well. but I also like the lightning bolt sniper kajigger thingy too
I did not use them much, but in my opinion they were far in a way worse than even the standard purple weapons. They did too little damage, and took too long to recharge.
*Thinks back to Borderlands 1*
Does it beat a Double Anarchy?
Nothing beats double anarchy. Lol
@@dannykrise9721 You got your Double Anarchy for close range, and your Hellfire for long range, and that's all you need
I just beat Borderlands today for the first time, and I had two Eridian weapons in my quick select. A level 28 101001 Cannon, and a level 28 101001 Ball Blaster. They weren't very powerful, but they were a godsend when I ran out of ammo for my assault rifles and machine pistols lol. Man my Grim Rage chewed through those magazines lol.
Eridian weapons + top tier Tempest class mod on Siren = fucking brutal.
Is no.7's firebomb 2's pimpernel?
awesome.
The thunder storm is absolutely beast mode I have one for my lvl 55 Lilith and the shock is amazing
I like the eridian sniper but if u have a technique u can kick ass with damn near all of them
In my opinion when it comes to eridian and making the most out of them you just HAVE to shoot til no charge, then SWAP to your normal weapon. I go crazy when waiting for the charge otherwise.
But tbh I only ever used them to try max out my proficiency stats
The eridian weapons only got better with weapon proficiencies, which is kind of a shame too cause are suppose to be advanced in technology.
I noticed there were a few things to add on functionality for this list that wasn't mentioned. So, "Heads Up":
1. the Cannon!: so shoot, melee, and immediately shoot again. ... O.O
2. the Stampeding Glob gun: corridor fights are great, shoot the walls/ground, it multiplies!
3. Magazine size abilities are best for these guns, IMO. Hi Roland!
4. In single player mode, is it just me, or do all these guns reload fully when you go to inventory, un-equip/re-equip?
I recently started re-playing Borderlands 1 on my Xbox One and I am just now learning that legendaries and all those rare weapons are a thing in B1!???? I played it sooooooooo many times back on Ps3 and don’t remember getting any legendaries or anything like that.
in my entire play through of borderlands one i saw 3 to 4 eridian weapons there just as rare as legendaries with the exeception of one that drops 100% of the time from that one mini boss and then thatd probably the first and last youll see of them for a awhile like a long long while
i went through knoxes armory several times and i didnt see a single one
The thunder storm absolutely destroyed the destroyer in my first play through of Lilith. That's not saying much though bc the destroyer is easy af
My experience with Eridian weapons from my initial play trough back in 09 was so bad that it prevented me from picking any other Eridian ever again. I never even considered Eridian weapons untill I watched this video. To me they were troll items meant to be sold as junk.
Depends a bit... I would take Eridian Blasters over E-Tech blasters any day of the week, same goes for the Eridian sniper rifle-ish weapons, however I think I would prefer E-Tech Plasma casters(except from the bandit plasma casters) over Eridian blasters. They just deal a nice amount of damage, have good stats in general and because SMGs have such a massive ammo pool in BL2 the increased ammo consumption doesn´t hurt them as much. Also, I think at least some E-Tech launchers are superior to the Eridian cannons.
Honestly, I find the eridian sniper rifle to be one of the best to score crits consistently, although with a huge disadvantage of having low dmg compared to other snipers.
The eridian sniper doesn’t require you to make predictions of where the bullet will go when you’re shooting a moving target. It’s like a gauss rifle, really - just point and shoot, and get a shock damage bonus if you thought that headshot wasn’t enough. Although near the endgame you’ll certainly need to deal more than one headshot to actually kill someone. Still, a nice gun that only suffers from low damage.
I remember before any dlc or anything on the ps3 when i had a pearlecent eridian weapon, what happened to that gun? I farmed for days after days to get it. It was the absolute best gun in the game, ive been searching for a vidoe on it but cant find it. But it used to be everywhere when the game first came out, what happened?
I think eridian and e-tech weapons should be modifiers to weapons like how moon grinding works cause I'd love an eridian lyuda that shoots the tracker rounds
They should bring back eridian weapons, and to fix the problem with having to wait for them to recharge,maybe have a quick time event to instantly charge them like in the modern battlefront games
Never played BL1 if I know BL2 pretty good and am in UVHM should I play it?
I loved the alien guns and when I got my first and only legendary one the acid one I nearly shit my self as I didnt know the existed lol. And I love Etech from borderlands 2 even though they generally suck their just fun to use
Most of the eridian weapons suck but the eridian lightning has been a long-time favorite of mine.
so hard to level up to use them xD.
for the next fallout lore video, maybe do the various raider factions like the disciple, and sub factions like the forged.
Only one I use is the thunderstorm and that's only for an enemy I want to take out immediately that would usually be a problem.
I love eridium weapons bc I have the shock blaster and my sister got the sniper rifle version and they are really op
The eridian weapons are ridiculously underpowered. If you are so OC and want to level its proficiency, you will have a hard time; It deals little to no damage on normal to large spiderants, lance and bruisers. The same issue with the launcher where they deal little to no damage on devastators like Knoxx, large enemies and other badass variants
I have 2 things to say. first, I hope things get better for you VPG (vinlycpumagaming) and another thing. i hope in borderlands 3 they add back E-tech, lasers and Eridean guns just to add even more to the mix. and maybe make revolvers and repeaters be different again. like maybe Jakobs won't ever make repeaters and Dahl never makes revolvers. and then like Maliwan makes both and stuff
doubt they would add back Eridian weapons since they had to scrap those to make the e-tech guns
Honestly, I hope they bring back repeaters and revolvers being separate weapon categories. I liked the Defiler handcannon and we really need it back.
RoboGameBoy64 how can be Eridian weapons can be scarp metal like maliwan :/
Isn't made by human u know but alien an alien made vault and key vault
Developer just lazy and don't want to back its in b2 :(
What is that scoped crimson pistol that you are using i never seen it
The Eridian Lightning is my favorite. I am a Mordecai main.
9:20 you killed 4 skags and the magazine is empty... and the gun has a half hour recharge time. You have to switch to a double anarchy. By the way lets stick with it because it is a great weapon. Great design.
the thunderstorm was my first eridian gun lol.
Good to know people still play borderlands the best game ever like if you agree
