I feel like flipper and or soul render def shouldve been on here. but it goes to show theres more than just 10 OP weapons and its whatever flavor you like lol
Just so everyone knows, the “Crit” that you get from moxxi has a “slippery when wet” effect. It makes you drop the gun if you reload too frequently. There’s a lot of differing opinions on how it works, but this is the real way. It has a chance to make you drop the gun if you reload in a timeframe too close to the last time you reloaded. So don’t just dump the whole magazine in one go and continue firing. Use it in bursts. After all, the thing kills pretty much anything with not even 10 shots. You don’t need to spray it. Stop shooting every couple rounds, and DO NOT RELOAD THE WEAPON WITHOUT EMPTYING THE MAG. If you do what I said, you’ll never drop it.
I haven’t watched this vid yet, but I love the crit. I get it again every few levels because it’s crazy. I’d be shocked if it’s not on this list. The base damage alone with the fire rate is insane, not to mention the elemental damage that tends to be like 2-4x the base damage.
the crit in op levels is broken. if you are a ammo regen moze, you will have infinite heal. 2 shots already get me to full health in op 6 as a fl4k with scourge build. i love this gun
I just use rushin offensive. i think they fixed it so it works consisntently. that plus grenades gives me enough lifesteal. I use 2 different flippers, plummage and backburner.plummage is fun if you use it more like a shotgun and "aim" it for the tighter spread
I love how you explain each weapon like an ad😂😂 really cool I’ve just finished the game and now it’s paradise knowing I can get these weapons hoping they work like how you show them🤞
Honestly, combination of Flipper and Infernal Wish is so OP it should be somewhere on this list, but I honestly dont know instead of what. Maybe Light Show or even Tizzy.
@@_GK_m Well, you are right, my bad. I honestly thought it doubled the projectiles since they were unlisted. It just adds 1 like all other weapons. Thanks for the info.
I farmed for max damage free radical and love it so much I have about 6 or 7 of them in the bank, just because. I got a 102k something and I was content with that. A radical with 150/90 is giggity.
There is hardly a noticeable difference between the lowest damage one to the highest damage one. That can be said for most guns in the game which sadly makes it irrelevant to farm for damage increases.
The flakker and the boring guns used to smack hard as fuck, and yeah I love the sand hawk but I’d only ever use it in moze or Zane for the ammo regeneration
That the sandhawk is the best sniper riffle in the game seems very debatable given there is also the complex root. The sandhawk is certainly better from a standalone standpoint but if you build around it the complex root is way more broken imo.
Complex root isn't great for all characters though. That being said it is fun to use with Amara with ties that bind, and then watch an entire room of mobs explode
boogieman isnt better than any of those weapons. its not even all that good of a sniper to begin with. moze only does so goddamn well with it, cause it barely uses ammo and does splash. amara and zane can use it somewhat decently, but arent good options either.
To never drop the “Crit”, just never reload the mag yourself. fire every single shot. Do not manually reload. AND, do not shoot every single round in one trigger pull. Shoot it in bursts. The thing is stupid overpowered, you don’t need to spray it if you can hit your shots. The “slippery when wet” effect that makes you drop the gun only has a chance to activate if you’re reloading the gun too frequently. Like if you’re shooting it till it’s empty, reloading, and continuing without ever letting the trigger go. Or constantly reloading back to back without emptying the mag. Once you get all that down it becomes habit and you’ll literally never drop it again.
@@mister_muffin3625 i dont understand this, and it is probably because i am new to borderlands (so not argueing just asking) I have a great mayhem 10 cryo tizzy and great flipper and great monarch. But i found a plasma coil on moze to beat out all other damage so far even with bad rolls... I have all the class mods with ok rolls and a bunch of company man artifacts. So i should be able to do the different builds with almost equal gear.
@@Redishere moze has a skill that adds additional fire damage to every source of splash damage, called fire in the skag den. On the card it says that this skill only adds I think 35% fire damage. But thats not the case. On mayhem 10 or 11 (basically the same thing) this skill adds about 350 - 400% fire damage to every source of splash damage. And because the Plasma Coil does splash damage and already has an insanely high card damage, it surpasses the other stuff by miles. There is also a similar skill in her purple tree called Big Surplus (ehich I honestly prefer over fire in the skag den) that adds fire damage to weapons that dont do splash damage, like the tizzy or the monarch. Way more versatile than going full blue tree.

@@marcusbarnes2015 One of the guns you get from tipping Moxxi, its a blue assault rifle that shoots powerful bullets that fall in a arc, if you put your difficulty to mayhem 11 aa soon as you beat the story you can get a mayhem 10 version that can carry you while you get to max lv and get what your build needs.
The first time I was farming for the kickcharger I had farm the chest and boss for like and hr never saw it then when I did get it I was on my way to the chest room and killed a random add and he dropped it
Honestly I can’t agree with this list because we’re being shown multiple characters and builds with the weapons. And any arms race weapons balances out with the fact it’s a pain in the ass to get the good ones.
You have to activate the bunker masters vault card to level it up. Once activated any XP you get will help increase its level. Level it up to earn chests, open them to get keys and spend them to get the guns and other stuff.
Hey, I've been wondering for a while, I got a kick charger a while ago, and even with violent momentum, full charge, kill skills, and a good anointment, mine only does 5M on a crit, why is yours doing over 300M?
as heads up for Moxxie's smg the crit, the reason it says slippery when wet is because you have a chance of dropping thee weapon while reloading
OMG thanks dude. I was like wtf when I kept losing the gun
I’ve had to get the gun 3 times now cause it fell off the edge of the map!!!!!
@USCG veteran Christian gamer 1977 double meaning brother
It’s only a 5 percent chance to drop it so if ur playing moze u won’t have to reload
And they why u should stay away from binary
Pre-patch Flakker should get an honorable mention. It’s been nerfed into the ground now, but on release that thing was an absolute MONSTER of a gun.
