Here's my argument for why the P-coil should always be at #1 - When it was first released, players who didn't know about it flooded the forums reporting that there was a sudden influx of modded guns in BL3.
But it wasn't modded guns. It was players who had already gotten a Plasma Coil
Holy shit I didn’t know that 💀 that just goes to show how absurd that things damage output is
Like I said in six's poll post the PC is a crutch and borderline cheating it shouldn't be on a list at all it's just simply too strong. Don't get me wrong I love the PC and carry one on all vault hunters but I barely use it because it's just not fair.
@@kwm1995you dont use it but keep one on every VH? Yeah thats bullshit, you use it and you know it
I personally think that the norfleet feels like a modded gun too
@@elishuster5943 at least the norfleet is a rocket launcher. launchers are expected to be really powerful per shot, and they're (supposed to be) balanced by the rarity of launcher ammo. in order to break the norfleet in bl2, you needed some way to bypass the ammo restriction. as it happens, the sham made that pretty straightforward, but you needed two legendaries to pull that off. it's still silly and should have been nerfed (which IIRC it was in the UCP), but doesn't really compare to the plasma coil which is broken all by itself with any parts, which you can get with minimal effort, and which uses the most ridiculously giant ammo pool in the game.
I remember when the cutsman was good before the nerf 😢
Those were the days… but I prefer how things are now tbf
What nerf?
the cutsman got a pretty big damage nerf back in like 2019, and it eventually got completely overshadowed by the other maliwan SMGs that got added
@@NamekJedi The Cutsmam was the most used gun in Maliwan takedown at the time. That nerf literally happend a month before that takedown even released lmao. And that ''pretty big damage nerf'' was just 25%.
@@tf3israel584 so you knew what nerf they were talking about then lmao. Regardless of how big you feel like the nerf was, the community at the time was not very happy about it, and I don't think anyone would argue it could keep up in a game with the kybs worth, flipper, plasma coil, etc.
I love when the Free Radical came out and everyone went "Oh my god I can't believe they powercrept so many weapons with this." and then the Plasma Coil came out right after and we went "OH MY GOD THEY POWERCREPT THE FREE RADICAL"
I don't think people would mind if Plasma Coil is nerfed slightly.
Accurate SMG Norfleet is NOT an exaggeration.
With how good Corrosive was in BL1, I think the Defiler is being underrated here. I would place that above the Crit and the Ember’s Purge.
I love the Defiler, i wish Maliwan had revolvers in the other borderlands games
Ya I feel like BL1 really rewarded having appropriate elements vs certain enemies or at the very least corrosive against the crimson lance and I think with 0 exception the Defiler was my go to for all of the vault hunters even though Lilith and Brick had no specific affinity for, nor bonuses to pistols that I recall (if I remember correctly Roland didn't have anything specific, but did have a lot of increases to general gun dmg and such) when it came to armored enemies. Stuff didn't even have to be weak to corrosive, as long as it wasn't resistant or immune, it got absolutely destroyed.
In the Ven Diagram of "Usefulness" & "Ease of Obtaining", for the longest time my number one would've been a tie between the BL1 Hellfire & the Bad Touch from BL2. BUT, then I saw K6 take a level 13-ish Plasma Coil through the majority of BL3 and that was that.
Haha true story
The Hellfire will always be my favorite borderlands legendary.
It was my first legendary in BL1 and I always seem to get one early on in all my playthroughs when playing the zombie dlc.
hellfire is sweet
i absolutely love it in BL2, always have it equipped and it saved me in so many situations
Gaige with ShamFleet is the GOAT of mobbing combo. Nothing more satisfied than obliterate your enemy while listening to Gaige's screaming like someone step on her toe.
I was sure Plasma Coil was no.1 as soon as i read "Maliwan Weapons"🤣
The whole energy weapon aesthetic I think is done justice with the spinning magazines and high tech looking parts in both 2 and 3. Love the devoted/tsunami most maybe. Those charge-to-fire pistols in 3 I think deserve a unique version though with some effect that ramps up like the projectile does
The Grease Trap is a powerful but not overpowered gun normally. But in the hands of Zane's Digi-Clone, it becomes hilariously broken.
Yeah, that's the only reason it got an Honorable mention
The norfleet and plasmacoil both deserve to be a pearls in bl4 sinc they are both so over powered
Your biggest miss was the absolute zero from the presequel this thing has lasted from level 50-63 and is still doing crazy damage with low ammo consumption and a high chance to freeze it’s an insane laser weapon
And the rosie as well. That thing carried me through uvhm.
Arguably one of the best weapons in pre sequel. That thing on nisha with the aimbot was insane.
Also having it on Jack was even dumber. Pair it with the one skill were u get the Element from the weapon u used before u switch to the absolute zero when its a maliwan and this weapon does freeze and shock which literally melts everything in seconds.
yeah, and absolute zero
1. coil.
2. norfleet.
3. grog.
4. crit.
5. hellfire.
6. flipper.
7. root.
8. plasma casters (purple rarity in bl2).
9. free rad.
10. absolute zero. (I just had to recognize one of my favorite guns in pre sequel over some other guns that overperform it. this is just fun for me.)
The plasma coil on any vh is op I used one on my elemental amare as leveling up and used it all the way threw story such a op weapon.
you can get the ember purge in the diamond loot room too
I'm seeing a pattern with maliwan, theyre good in bl1, meh in bl2 and TPS, and then there bonkers in bl3
Every time I load up borderlands three I hopped into arms race first and then go from there… I really like that game mode and there is so much they can do with it… I really hope they add something similar in the next game, but add other interesting features and mechanics to it
If they implemented a gear part changing system in BL4, that would be awesome.
Allow use of the special currency like eridium, moonstones, or whatever to swap out a part on a gun with doubling or exponentially increasing cost per part you switch out on a single piece of gear (1st part on that specific item costs 100, 2nd part you switch out on that same item costs 200, etc) and possibly require the gun to gain “experience” via kills or use before it’s able to have a part switched.
Or you could simplify it and make it cost a flat amount to change a specific part you choose to a random, different one.
You could also allow players to spend an increased amount to choose 1 or 2 specific parts they want, but it permanently “locks” the weapon to prevent any further part adjustments
A song that describes the flipper pretty well, IM BLINDED BY THE LIGHTSSSSSSSSSS
Norfleet shoots through the walls in Pyro Pete's bar. With a Bee + Magic Missile, you'll kill everything while standing in the doorway.
This is an excellent point.
Random memory unlocked of K6 bashing the pimpernel, before someone explained the mechanic to him XD
Lesson learned
I totally did not expect Plasma Coil being #1🤣
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition
Always loved Maliwan weapons, specifically the good old Hellfire!
Didn't like what they did with the Maliwan guns in Borderlands 3 though, with the charge up guns.
I don't like the charge time either, but I do really appreciate the things Gearbox did in BL3 to make each manufacturer feel even more special and unique compared to each other than what we got in BL2 (which was great too).
The charge up is annoying, but honestly it's a perfectly reasonable balance feature for this class of gun where each one gets 2 elements to choose from, and honestly still has a quicker time to kill than most other options.
at least that gave them an identity. In BL2 Maliwan guns apart from broken ones felt underwhelming. They were always elemental and had better DoTs but that's about it.
theres just somethin so nostalgic about maliwan weapons from borderlands 2/pre sequel, like from their looks to their reloads their just so nostalgic to me and idk why
Maliwan as a company: "If anything breaks!, we'll just take out of your next paycheck!" Maliwan weapons: Brutal.
I am so happy I got the grog in that event where it was a permanent weapon drop ....so I never had to worry about it disappearing from me if I ever turned in the mission and yes I did farm like 3 perfect versions, 1 for melee, one x2 variant and 1 normal
I absolutely love the norfleet,a friend of mine gave me a op10 shock norfleet for my Gaige, it's just so damn good
plasma coil, easily my favorite to carry you through a run. Thanks for the List K6!
In my opinion the Norfleet wins because Borderlands 2 only has a handful of weapons that are on that godly level (I might argue that the pimpernel could be up there) on the other hand Bl3 has so many different weapons that you can pick up with any character and demolish everything. Also, the Norfleet can clear your entire screen of enemies due to the insane splash damage of e-tech launchers whereas the p--coil can only hit one enemy at a time.
Man, I remember pre-nerf Ol' Rosie in the Pre-Sequel. Just look at a raid boss for a few seconds and it's gone.
Yeah, that nerf kinda pissed me off.
Can confirm the crit still slaps still has insane damage and that's after getting a metric shit ton of legendary weapons and rare and exclusive god role sets and weapons diamond room and it's devastating in the clones hands
It feels so nice and refreshing to see one of your videos again!
Welcome back!
I still remember how I tried to make vermin to spawn and finally it happened but it dropped the killer kawaii skin 😅 my new favorite is plasma coil, I got it with diamond room, never could i hope for anything more from there
Honorable mention tonthe Trevonator as well. Great shotgun with a touching backstory!
it might be a hot take but complex root woudl always be second best maliwan first is coil (surely not biased at all lol)
Not a hot take at all!! It's a super powerful weapon, and everyone has their own preferences!!
Don't forget the Firehawk pistol in BL1. Had a x4 fire damage on the card, but was actually x6. It melted everything!!! Roll that a defiler, hellfire, and ogre or S&S sniper (orion), amazing.
The best solution i think for farming mission reward gear would be, when you earn it the first time on that character, the gun gets added to the world drop loot pool, or a raid boss loot pool
All that would do is pollute loot pools even further. A vendor akin to the Black Market Machine would 100% be the way to go.
@captainspaulding5963 i disagree. Loot pools may be polluted, but most raid bosses haven't got anything worth farming. Maybe the non legendary mission rewards, yeah, but earls vending machine does that.
Per character legendaries should be in raid loot pools after earning, it'd give people a reason to chase the raid bosses other than testing your gear
If only I had friends, or the arms race dlc...
I miss the good old days when the Cutsman was just unstoppable but yeah, the Plasma Coil is by far the best weapon ever made.
Solid video my man. I love Ember’s purge. I’d love it if she was a playable firebrand type character in BL4. The French accent really does it for me!
thanks dude. Hope you're doing well
I have the complex route and it's great however the stark ardm and the flipper is excellent the plasma coil the DNA is actually really good lately
I have to put hellshock up there, running zane with that thing absolutely melts bosses
S&S MUNITIONS TOP 10 WHEN
I remember wrecking with the embers purge before the buff.
My personal favorite sniper in BL3 is the Firestorm. I know it's not ideal for most situations but with Moze it's a satisfying and fun weapon to lay down a carpet of mass destruction. In fact I rarely use it as a sniper, i just paint the ground with a whole mag around a group of enemies and watch the red must fly as I reload. Sure there are more efficient ways, but few as fun.
I personally consistent use both on my amara, but I think the free radical is stronger than the plasma coil
I'd go with the Good Touch, that thing carries me through Normal and True Vault Hunter Mode.
It's funny. I just opened TH-cam to see this video right after I finally got my very first Plasma Coil. Superconducting prefix. It SLAPS!
First, a great video and a great list.
Secondly It may not be the most convenient weapon, but the free radical is without a doubt the most powerful weapon in the history of the game.
I can’t wait for another borderlands to come out. Every time you make a vid like this I go play for about 2 hrs till I get bored bc I have done everything
Maliwan is my favorite brand I love it so much
And maybe Florentine/Plasma Caster should be somewhere in your list
You can actually get multiple amber purge and scoville in the Diamond loot room
If GBX ever make a 4th sequel they better bring back the defiler
Crit is actually from 2 originally, in tiny Tina's dlc
I got the embers purge from the Diamond Chest in sanctuary
Radical is the best Maliwan weapon we've had, but I can't argue that the Coil is much more nostalgic
i currently have a hellfire level 25 I'm running on my level 41 Lilith completed all of main game with it and working through all dlcs as well seeing how far i can take it
You forgot the Tsunami from Borderlands 1. That was a fun gun too.
If you build your moze right you never have to reload moxxis gun. Just gotta tip for a god roll lol
More Road to Raid series for BL3 on different classes/builds!
Thanks for daily content
Dahl Allegiance FL4K starts tomorrow on twitch.tv/ki11ersix and highlights here on Tuesday afternoon. Thank YOU for watching!
Need more top 10s!!
A white Maliwan pistol in Arms Race is a guaranteed victory.
Not that it's a whole lot better- but the Ember's Purge can drop from the diamond loot room!
Hey huge fan love what you do I know this is kind of off topic but how do you think an extra rarity would work in the next borderlands game and could you potentially make a video explaining how and why things like seraphs and pearls should be in Bl4
Check this out. Basically: yes. We NEED endgame gear variety and the community agrees: th-cam.com/video/3sUrNf1JaP4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FkPg6bHqUJDP-saJ
I got a binary cutsman early game before the nerf and it carried me for soooo many levels. The nerf hurt 😢
Yeah, but luckily they buffed WAY more things than they nerfed
its true, ill never forget the first time i used the plasma coil
I got the plasma coil from the diamond room and it's disgusting lol it's so good
for things like the embers purge, do those missions really not reset on TVHM if you reset the playthrough?
To my knowledge it does not
I'm not sure if there's an exception to it, but I did end up getting an Ember's Purge from the diamond loot chest last night. I didn't pick it up because after looking it up, it didn't sound that great.
You missed out it's Awesome
@@Ki11ersix Yeah for sure, just got back into Borderlands 3 and finally reached the endgame. I've been experimenting but I've been watching your vids to get a good idea on gear. Running an "On action skill start triggers the break effect" Stop Gap with a phasecast Amara just so I can survive in Mayhem 11 right now
Six, stop telling ppl that the plasma coil is broken! I don’t want them to fix it!! Haha.
I like the details on the Maliwan guns not much as the details Hyperion guns but still
You can get the embers purge from the diamond key loot room. 😋
Is Beef Plissken related to Snake Plissken? Jokes aside, expected the plasma coil to be #1 as it has carried me through multiple playthroughs.
YESSSS A MALIWAN VIDEO FOR THE MALIWAN GUYS
The plasma coil and Ajax ogre are by far the most broken weapons in borderlands history
I love these top 10 videos 😎
Thanks!
This is a fun idea
Plasma Coil and Norfleet are the best Maliwan weapons I've ever used in the Borderlands franchise.
Hellfire is always my favorite especially on maya
I loved it on krieg
It took me hours to get the power coil
It can be a pain, but vastly easier than farming the Norfleet
Hey, plasma coil, finally. This time I really can say best weapon is plasma coil
Strongest of them all….if you can hit your shots. Then I remembered k6 has the same aim I do when I’m playing darts. Fair play
Haha dangit
Damn... These videos make me wanna play BL2 again ❤
Do it!!
Haven’t watched the video yet but I’m assuming the grognozzle is here somewhere
I was right, it’s number 5
I honestly hate that the Defiler has been left behind when it comes to legacy Legendaries. The Infection in 2 is the closest comparable weapon we've seen and it was pretty much hot garbage. Having it retain its OG Corrosive properties while still being a strong pistol would easily make it a top tier Legendary or even a decent Pearl for the newer games.
PLASMA COIL!!!!!
I knew plasma coil would be number one it’s sooo op
BL3 Hellfire: Who are you?
Ember's Purge: Im you, but better and superior
How to sum up the BL3 Hellfire and Ember's Purge comparison
And without the doubt, the Plasma Coil is up top
Pimpernel is Maliwan!?!? I could swear it was smt else... Well, I dont have that dlc, soo...
Sometimes, you just gotta watch the World Elemental melt ☣️
yes indeed.
Ive never done it, but does reseting missions for tvhm reset dlc's too or no?
Yes but don’t think it resets things like the Embers Challenge.
TVHM lets you get quest rewards scaled up, but crew challenges like that are once per character so be sure to get the final reward at M10 level 72.
They can show up in Maurice's vending machine too but it's a real slim chance
Absolute Zero should get a mention in honorable mentions.
Hear me out k6… a gunsmith in borderlands 😍. Just hear me out , you have three shredifiers but you want an optic and the double barrel on a fire elemental shreddy, kinda like the grinder in the pre sequel , put them all in there and wal La your very own god roll gun
What Maliwan weapons do you want to see return in BL4?
Yes
(Aka all of them)
Can we get a manufacuer Tier list?
I like this
Idk how the borderlands 1 hellfire ain't number one, let alone number 10. That thing was absolutely insane and could single handedly carry a character
I’ve used all of them and the BL1 Hellfire is nowhere near most of the BL3 Maliwan weapons for sheer power
Kinda knew the Plasma Coil was gonna be on top
anyone who's ever used it should.
I’m pretty sure grog only has 200% crit
