DAHL went from my least favorite Manufacturer in BL2 to my favorite in BL3. DAHL weapons just feel so damn good in that game.
Agreed💯🎯
maliwan was my least fav bl2 then dahl
I’m strange. I really loved Dahl snipers, if you could find one with a higher rof. You could also unscope cancel the burst.
For me the different fire rate barrels Dahl has just make it good. The ability to toggle the burst on and off just make them so much better
Yea most of the Dahl weapons have a really nice feeling to shoot. Nothing too fancy just a nice accurate realistic gun feeling. Especially soulrender and breathe of the dying
I've seen this a few times but DAHL in BL3 is my favorite company-the guns feel good, not a lot of drawbacks, most of the learning curves for guns aren't super frustrating, and they're not really locked behind too many frustrating enemies. And shoutout to the Kaos, my favorite gun in bl3!
The Kaos does some crazy work in normal mode. I got one as a world drop in one of my playthroughs, level 14, and it CARRIED for 20 more levels. I love the Hellwalker, it's my all time favorite gun in the franchise, so when I got one as a world drop at level 16 on the same playthrough, I used it for the rest of the story, but when i needed range, the Kaos had my back. That explosion upon killing does some nice damage which is my favorite part about the Kaos.
@@damonnichols all of that is so true! The Hellwalker is just too fun to use.
@@damonnicholsmy favourite is when a group of bandits hide behind a single cover 😈
@@damonnichols get yourself a mayhem 10 near godroll of the kaos on zane with the 30% ammo regen and it is disgusting how fast you brrrr enemies down i love the kaos
In Arms Race, there's nothing better than getting a Dahl first and then gathering Maliwan pistols for the boss fight. Dahl always surprises with the damage they do while being super ergonomic, and they just sound awesome.
The ability to switch firing modes manually in bl3 has massively improved Dahl weapons
For real. In 2 and more notably imo TPS Dahl weapons kicked ass. But if you didn't luck out on firing mode during ads could really make them less practical. Why the hell would I want semi auto while aiming?
I've always been a huge fan of the Pitchfork personally. Can't even fully explain why. It's just super satisfying to use
I've only ever picked-up the Pitchfork once, in The Pre-Sequel. It's just so much easier to use than other Dahl Snipers in that game, and great for hip-firing.
Absolutely! Try it out in BL2, it's a blast. I especially love it in corrosive. The fire pattern just rips loaders apart.@@nicholassmith7984
I wouldnt like it without ba rank tbh too slow but with it I love it
My biggest issue with the BL2 sandhawk was the projectile speed... Same with the bl3 version too tbh. The gemstone rarity dahl guns from BL2 were actually decent too. Like the emerald ones
Dahl manufacture is my favorite out of all the manufacturers in the entire borderlands series and I can't wait to see what bl4 has in store for us in the future.
I know it probably isn't on here, but for me, my absolute favorite weapon in borderlands history is my Dahl Penetrator from the first game. It was max parts across the board, which is super effing rare for that weapon especially on the mag.
I love the blood starved beast even more because it is a reference to one of my favourite games of all time
Bloodborne is one of the greatest games ever made
@@heedthepainting my first fromsoft game ❤️
@@MisterT.2962 me too
Night Hawkin is my favorite from BL3, but you can't talk about BL2 without the sandhawk. Both of these carried me when I was Fl4k and Zer0. It's just very satisfying weapons.
cant wait for the "best cov weapons in borderlands 3" video where every single spot is taken by the linoge, truly going to be one of the borderlands videos of all time
Some good cov weapons yellow cake, tizzy t no pew pew thats all I can think off top of my head
I love the hail, you can get one straight from the moment you get to sanctuary 3 and it can and will last several levels, and when it falls off you can easily get another.
Also on an unrelated note I downloaded a left for dead 2 mod that gives the Scar a blue Dahl skin, really makes me pick it up more.
I really wish they could have found ways to make both Dahl and Hyperion snipers stand out, somehow. Neither manufacturer has more than one sniper which stands out as being anything other than 'meh' in mayhem mode, and both of their 'good' guns are returning items in some form.
Someone suggested to me that Hyperion snipers don't get more accurate with firing but get increased crit damage with shots. That could be pretty cool. It really feels like snipers should just be accurate from the get go.
i've thought up a legendary sniper for dahl which is its a 3 round burst the bullets are a bit slow but for each subsequent hit in the burst the crit damage increases by 50% its not that unique but a lot of dahl legends are mostly bullet sprayers or multi-pellets
i absolutely adore the hornet in both bl2 and bl3, it helped carry me through digi peak on axton, and it's just a really fun weapon in bl3.
Yeah one of my best pistols in bl2 to deal with the bots the bul loader and pwr loader had to eat the splash damage no deflecting or blocking it
Yep, i knew it the Sandhawk and Soulrender would be at the top of the list. What's next? Maliwan or Torgue? Its gonna be complicated if its Bandit/Scav/COV. Cuz they went through 3 name changes
Torgue probably
@@Ki11ersix Im willing to bet the Unkempt Harold is on the top 5 aint it?
Yup
@@ravenlinosoriano2867 He is going to troll us and just has Harold have its own tier outside the numbered ones. 😂
@@KimParkkinen he might. But come on, he's honest about it that the Harold is on the top among the great Torgue guns
I love Dahl weapons in BL3. It’s one of the primary setups I use on my main Fl4k with a 50/50/50 Dahl Company Man. So many incredible options.
My biggest issue with the Sandhawk in bl2 is what happens when you shoot it without scoping in. Without the ability to aim down sights while downed like in bl3 (assuming you got the bonus stuff on) the Sandhawk feels painful to use. Alternatively as a gun in general it is quite fun to use and can absolutely melt with the right build, even without the Bee shield. It is a ton of projectiles after all.
IMO #1 should be the Kaos. Specifically artic kaos on zane. Zane's cryo damage plus cryo from the khaos PLUS cryo explosions on kill are just godlike
Kai’s is awesome, but everything I listed is just better overall
The soulrender is easily one of my favorite guns to use and very fun. It’s unique, has a fun gimmick and a good farm
While technically not Borderlands the White Rider from Tiny Tina's Wonderlands deserves to be at least an honorable mention that thing absolutely shreds despite being locked to poison damage
the torrent is also one of the best sounding guns when you fire it, almost exactly sounds like a gau-18
Off topic but what’s your favourite weapon that doesn’t care if they resist the element? Mines the free radical
Plasma Coil
10:31
Ya know, that COULD be a video idea.
Best guns to transfer The Bee’s sting? The Slagga, Pimpernel, and SandHawk come to mind.
Breathe of the dying is really cool I wish it did a nova instead of orbs though, I hate watching the orbs spread and miss enemies. Also agree on killing myself a lot with it. Some of these weapon effects just shouldn’t do self damage, it’s just annoying
Kaosen is my all time favorite! Had SO much fun with that piece of metal :D
Best use ive found for Sandhawk in BL3 is Zane's Double Barrel Skill. Pop Clone w/ Sandhawk equiped and the switch to different weapon
The star helix may not be as OP as some of these other choices, but it is just smooth that it always has a spot in my inventory
The Helix is my main gun for the fire rate Zane build.
i believe the reason the Sandhawk was turn into a sniper is to nerf is ammo count without affecting its damage potential.
I'd put the Seraphim in the Honorable Mentions, besides the slow moving projectiles and the element exclusivity it definetively packs a punch. Nice video!
It was good, now it's just the worse version of Toothpick, with arguably harder farming method
I really enjoyed the upgrade Dahl guns got in BL3.
Obviously not the strongest ever but out of all these, the Kaoson is still by far my favorite and what I considered the most well rounded Dahl weapon ever. Was the first M6 gun I found when they were introduced and it always feels satisfying to fire.
Also I'd like to mention the Quad Bow, White Rider, Skeep Prod and Ruby's Spite as all of em are really gud in Wonderlands
Yeah, Wonderlands doesn't count for these lists though
I Love how much of a soul-render hype beast killer 6 is. My man
That gun could get it, you know?
Fun fact, putting a single point into Duct Tape Mod negates self damage for zane, significantly increasing the effectiveness of the Breath of the Dying and works well for a speed zane with skills in blue/red/purple tree
Dude… love the weapon tier lists!!!! Please do more!!
I really like the teapot of tiny Tina, another great video K6 👍
Really enjoying these manufacter top 10’s!
Hopefully we get one for each one
Love the Sandhawk in BL2. Honestly in Bl3 it eats your ammo so fast I usually just give ot to my clone
Your top 10 list videos are extremely
Professional and informal man keep it up I play a ton of these games and still find out new stuff from these uploads
Glad you like them!
Man, I haven't been playing video games much cause I was having some health issues, but watching you talk about the Breath of the Dying made me turn on Borderlands 3 and start a new Moze.
how you have a speedy recovery dude
@@Ki11ersix luckily I am in recovery right now, just still testing the waters with what I can and can't do.
Keep at it dude. You got this!
I'm a big fan of the Reaver's Edge/Penetrator hybrid from BL1. I've only ever gotten one
the kaos may not belong on here, but it is absolutely my favorite all around legendary in bl3, also VERY happy to see the breath of the dying love!!
It’s a very fun gun
Funny as it is the Breath of the Dying is reference to an item of the same name in Diablo II which shot out poison novas on kills
Absolutely love mobbing with the Kaoson with the minesweeper class mod
The Reavers Edge should've been on this list too. It was a great sniper rifle. Dahl is a great manufacturer.
I've offed myself with breath of the dying more times than I have the enemies. Yet I still freaking love it. And the soul render I use on Zane has ammo regen with clone so it slaps even harder and my clone time is damn near infinite
Zane can make himself immune to self inflicted damage using skill called Duct Tape Mod. This skill combined With Breath of the Dying is a blast at close range.
the Breath of The Dying gotta be my favorite mobbing weapon
I don't have much of a problem with ammo regarding the BL3 Sandhawk. An ammo regen and being careful with the trigger seem to work. I don't use it much tho because of the slow projectile speed
thanks for the list man, great picks!
Thanks for watching!
Also want to say that I already love this current top 10 series. Although you already did my two favorite corps hahaha.
I think Torgue is gonna surprise some people. Same with Hyperion
As a Gaige main I’m really hoping the fibber makes your Hyperion list :3
Absolutely
Just today I found a Phaserker with Dahl weapon damage, Dahl crit damage and weapon crit. Probably the second best class mod I've ever found 😀
Wow
Love the SR. Absolutely mental on Moze. Also the Kasoem I think for me would be number 1. I love it on Moze. Always melts :)
I’ve had breath of the dying do at least 25mil splash damage when it shoots out the balls.
I think another Honerable mention could have been the Penetrator from BL1. It basically is like a beta version of the BL2 Droog/Lyuda but I mean it's a full auto high fire rate Sniper, in BL1. It shreds everything basically lmao. Sniper Mordecai and Specter Lilith go nuts with it.
Even worse in my opinion was excluding the Bulldog shotgun! It's almost like BL1 wasn't actually included in the making of this list! The Bulldog has outrageously good stats across the board, massive killing power even against the raid boss of BL1, and is maybe the most versatile weapon in the original game
Me: starts a a DAHL Zane run.
K6: Time to make a video about best DAHL weapons!
Love the Blood Starved Beast purely because it is a reference to the ONE game I like better than the borderlands franchise
sandhawk numba 1. its just so deadly on Zane in bl3. Clone absolutly shithouses raids with on element Sandhawk. That being said my personal favorite is BOTD. I was a big D2 nerd as a kid. Plus crazy damage output. And it makes doing scrap traps for xp to 72 easy. Soulrender is close second. Its often in my main hand
I for a while mained soulrender on moze. Idk if Infernal Wish plays a part in doubling the skulls, but with 150% weapon damage while cub is active, it becomes too strong.
Read the title and immediately knew what the no. 1 is going to be!! Damn I love that gun!
Being able to skip the burst fire delay with the Nighthawkin makes it an absolute beast on normal mode. I will agree that it definitely falls off in Mayhem mode, and by a lot, but because the Demoskaggons scale with you, it’s easy to always get a new one and that will absolutely carry you through normal mode. I also love the sound it makes. Just a brrrrr of bullets. Wonderful gun.
Proprietary License is a lot like the Night Hawkin BUT it combines effects from all manufacturers. It’s in the Bounty of Blood
@@Ki11ersix yeah, that’s true. But I think having the immediate accuracy and the super low recoil lets you put more shots on your target. They’re both good guns, not at all top tier like the Kaoson though.
I was pretty sure which one you would pick as #1 and I was right. Maybe not the best Dahl but my favorite Dahl is the Kaoson, damn I love that gun. Torrent is great too but man can that thing eat ammo.
By far my favourite Dahl gun is the Warlord in Borderlands 3. Not the most powerful out there, but a lot of fun to use, especially with Moze.
As for the Pre-Sequel, I always look forward to picking-up the Fridgia.
I tried farming the torrent in the pre sequel it’s an amazing gun but I swear to you I farmed an under level Meg in tvhm before continuing the story for two full level ups on console it feels closer to 1% lol
When u placed sand hawk at no.2 and talked abt how it cld be no.1 i wondered n realised that no.1 has got to be soul render cus it’s just so strong with the 20x dmg skulls😂
I know you made this just to show off the soul render, you cheeky git!
I feel like the pitchfork should be on here, I understand that’s it’s a pain to get, however if gotten this thing is a beast
Agreed. Aside from Sand Hawk or Hornet in BL2 I never cared for Dahl. The Soul Render and Kaoson are in my top 5 faves from all the games.
Soulrender number 1 I called it and wasn’t disappointed!!
Since we are only talking about Dahl weapons here, it should be mentioned that Hail is Vladof in BL2 and TPS, not Dahl like in BL3. Also the Major Tom being essentially the same, bar the weapon skin and name, as the Veruc, should give it an honorable mention as well.
I mostly agree with this, but In my opinion Pitchfork should've absolutely been on this list. I'd place it as the third best sniper in both BL2 and TPS (maybe even second in TPS). Problem it has it competes with monsters like Lyuda, Pimpernel and the Machine, which are way easier to obtain, so it doesn't get the love it absolutely should. But among Dahl weapons it's definitely up there. I would personally replace the Hail with it and move the Hail to honorable mentions.
The second one might be just me, but I absolutely love the ZX-1 laser in TPS. It's so much fun to use on Athena.
As a regular consumer of your content, I had a strong feeling I knew what #1 would be. I totally agree, it's a fantastic gun and the farm is so quick with that save spot so close. Great video, I hope you do one for each manufacturer.
Torgue is up next
Torgue will be confined to mostly bl2 because lets be honest, Torgue isnt very good for endgame in Bl3 anyways@@Ki11ersix
Torgue in BL3: Unkempt Harold, Hive, Plaguebearer, Prompt Critical, Redline, Roisen’s Thorns, Lob, Tiggs and a few other decent ones
Craps and Shocker is underrated too
ahh the soulrender. i thought for sure k6 is gunna say the night hawkn. soulrender is absurd tho
Soulrender and Sandhawk
Nuf said
Read my mind
Torrent with ammo regen on Zane is amazing
I don't know that its "the best," but the Kaoson is definitely my favorite Dahl weapon of all time!
We need more of these top 10's Six.
On it
Loved Dahl and its legendaries since BL1 even though they were kind of plain... used to obsessively farm for the Jackal pearlesecent even though it sucked
"The Sand Hawk is my favourite shotgun in Borderlands 3."
"But it's a sniper rifle."
"I know what I said."
Doing a dahl allegiance Zane this is very helpful
Breath of the dying is the perfect weapon to level up by farming scraptrap
lol. I ran a double anarchy lvl25 in BL1 all the way until level 50 in playthrough 2. It's just that strong.
A Dahl machine gun is ideal for any load out, assault rifle? Vladof or Atlas, shotgun? You want a jacobs or hyperion, and if pistols are your thing? Go for either jacobs or maliwan, snipers from tediore or maliwan are nice choices to.
If you use rockets? Torgue or maliwan, honorable mention is torgue for an assault rifle, control? Fuck no, but you do have stopping power and splash damage, by extension "aoe".
I really like the kaos, veruc and kaosin
Plasma coil's a maliwan but can be on this list as number one even though it's a dahl weapon list
i think Lascaux probably should be at 10 because it just doesnt scale well after normal mode imo. I find the lack of element does hurt the weapon a bit and just doesnt make is impactful with the higher difficulties and resistances.
Fair point
NOT ENOUGH EXPLOSIONS!!!!!!!!
Dgaf what is what, soulrender is the GOAT period.
God I love the kaoson! 🤟🏻🤟🏻that baby friggin rips!! 😂
never liked the kaoson, until i played moze w an infernal wish. absolute LASER
How don't you delete yourself though with combust?
You got to "honorable mentions" and i kept saying "Soulrender, Soulrender, Soulrender" then lost it at #1🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You know what’s up
also i knew the skull render was good but i didn't know it was 20x damage good, jesus
6:36 only downside to this gun, enimies with invincibility stages should only be for story kills, then after that take out invincibility stages. CANNOT stand waiting 15 seconds for a kill that would take me 3. Wanted one for zayne and I farmed and farmed and on like run 30 I got a shock one 😂. Still, it absolutely shreds. I would have wanted a cryo one but whatever you get will work. Needs a boosted drop chance
Have you did top 10 Atlas weapons yet?
Damn it’s been a minute love this game
Ah the beautiful render of souls
Breath of the dying was my goto gun because the orbs, talk about area control
My wife loves the Soulrender. She HAS to have it on every playthrough and the only weapon she can remember the farm location. 😅
All hail the mighty Soulrender!
Dahl guns feel so good in bl3
But no love for the teapot?
It's a free hornet amd perfect for shredding wilhelm
The Soulrender on Moze is ridiculous.
I love it on every Vault Hunter
The fact that the hornet is just an honorable mention make me sad...
I like it, but I feel these are stronger
