Which returning weapon is the most disappointing to YOU? Which one is somehow even better? Let me know in the comments below!
The Unforgiven, we need its Borderlands 1 counterpart for the fourth game.
tsunami 😭
Crit and hail
Sandhawk kinda returned and it is quite strong, but eats ammo quickly.
The conference call for me because in bl2 it was great even for gaige with anarchy, now it's just a pager instead of a call
I guess the Skullmasher really took “If it took more than one shot, you weren’t using a Jakobs” to the next level
In bl3 it was a beast
Mordecai was evil woth it
I tried farming for it in BL2 on OP10, and on one run I didn't get the drop, but decided to open the Hyperion chests. In one there was a Skullmasher with a Vladof scope, all Jakobs parts, and a damage+ accessory. Technically not a "perfect" Skullmasher, but it had my favorite scope and pretty much everything boosted the damage. Who cares about the crazy recoil, I'm playing Maya, I'll just bubble and blast their slagged head off!
The ironic part is while it only consumed one ammo per shot it shoots 5 projectiles.
Ps Hagrid... he's everywhere... Make it stop!
@@duckseason5325 not a chance in hell that’ll happen.
The fact that the Sandhawk, A Unique Blue SMG from the Scarlet DLC in BL2 returns as A Legendary Sniper in BL3 and dropped by Katagawa is one of the weirdest Returning weapons... Surprised _THAT_ wasn't mentioned XD
Ammo consumption and the fact that sniper ammo capacity isn't very high, makes it very taxing to use. Been running it on Moze and it can slay bosses fairly easy
Well it's one of the best weapon for clone Zane
@@eddyalfa1don't you mean Grease Trap?
@@nicholausstevens1262 well i said "one of the". Grease trap is super strong but clone often dies from its explosion on bosses who run in melee, for example ultraviolet.
@@eddyalfa1 r/wooosh
The Unforgiven Revolver is a good mention. It was the Holy Grail in Borderlands 1 that made you feel like a God Of Destruction. In Borderlands 2 Gearbox ruined it's reputation not being a God Tier weapon. And in Borderlands 3 I'm happy it's back but the Maggie is literally the better version of it with it's masher prefix. Hopefully the Unforgiven Masher will return in Borderlands 4 with it's Godlike Status like in the first game.
Not to mention it’s very very fun to use with Zane and his cannon in BL3!
oh man, an unforgiven masher in bl1 is an absolute joy to play with
@@bigfhtagn Like I said "God Of Destruction".
@@danevon91 It's actually very good to weapon damage swap.
In Borderlands 2 it's one of my favorite pistols to use on Maya. I like slow and powerful weapons that have a good crit multiplier, Maya makes them great imo
I definitely appreciate how each bl2 pearl that returned was brought back in a buffed fashion: Things like the storm or the bearcat were always considered to be the worst respectively in both the pearlescent and well as item type categories, whereas now, you can have fun with the bearcat in normal mode, and it's a perfectly serviceable c-tier weapon for going through the rest of normal mode once you get it, but now, things like the Storm, Bekah, Sawbar, and Unforgiven are all strong contenders for A-tier and S-tier slots.
On my fl4k I have a crit build and I had a storm a few times and I just spammed it and it shredded, even on mayhem 10/11, though not as quickly, and I didn’t have to reload often as the secondary projectile electrical beams kept hitting constant crits and returning ammo
@@engineerfromror2 Storm works well on a Hustler Zane build
Unforgiven still really sucks as a weapon, I would even say it was better as a gun in BL2 if we ignore the pearlescent rarity. Even Guardian shotgun is much more fun to use!
@@Uragan00829 unforgiven is really strong in bl3
@@RemingtonSteel I used it on FL4K and it was pretty terrible. Maybe it is better on other Vault Hunters, but Love Drill exist and I think it is much better gun.
Fun fact, the Ogre was in BL1 as well!
That thing was a MONSTER for ripping mobs apart since explosive damage was considered a neutral 'element' in the first game so it could hammer the crap out of everything.
The Ogre and Flakker (radiation version) can put in some work on Moze. But you did mention returning from BL2 and not as good as the BL2 version, so okay, I guess. BTW, how about a list of bad BL3 gear that was also bad in BL2? Looking at you Bearcat and Tunguska.
I adored the Butcher in BL2 so reuniting with it when BL3 dropped was amazing.
Same :) Circle strafing enemies at a hundred miles an hour as Zane while the Butcher just goes brrrrr got me through a full TVHM mayhem 11 run almost effortlessly!
Conference call & Infinity in BL2: God Mode
Conference call & Infinity in BL3: Here comes the tickle monster!
My first legendary was the hornet. Literally dropped on my very first playthrough. Then i got a venomous hornet when i opened a chest during buff quest and never replaced it. It was my favorite gun!
The Hellfire was my first legendary drop in Bl1 and in franchise history since I started in Bl1, im so sad that they made it so bad in Bl3
I still remember my Combustion Hellfire kicking ass in BL1
Its funny tho how the Ogre seems to be in every single BL game except Pre-Sequel i believe.
The weapon started out as the most broken and most rare and annoying to farm in the whole franchise because what made it broken was a certain Affix you needed on it. So even if it drops you need to be twice as lucky that it drops with the Affix.
I hope gearbox will return with updates for borderlands 3, I would like to see some guns and class modes buffs.
I still prefer the bl2 unkempt Harold mostly because the bl3 one feels like a normal torgue pistol over the spread in bl2 that made the weapon more unique.
the BL3 one still has the splitting mechanic, the only thing is the DPUH version got nerfed as it now only adds one more projectile instead of doubling them. By default it starts at 3, then the middle one splits into 3 so you have 5, then it splits again so you have 7. The DP just adds one so it goes 4 > 6 > 8 which is fair because the only UH that mattered in bl2 was the DPUH. You can easily see in photo mode with an amped shot.
Gunzerker with two unkempt harolds and thunderball fists could fight god. I guess they wanted to make some of the best guns pale in comparison to newer ones like the free radical or tizzy
Awesome list! I never used the Butcher until BL3, and it was amazing! I still remember feeling giddy over the fact that the Unkempt Harold came back even though the enemies in DLC 3 hit you HARD so maybe I should have had the Heart Breaker. lol
BL3 did the conference call dirty. But I must say Tiny Tina Last Rites shotty "ice cold conference call" is sooooooo much of a redemption for our BL2 legend
I really hope in the next borderlands installment we get a proper yeet stick in this sledges shotgun. That gun was just too much fun.
The value of the Conference Call in BL3 is in Megavore + Leave No Trace + Head Count on Fl4k. Not everything is about damage. It is a fantastic utility option, especially if you get it in Cryo.
I remember the Heartbreaker in borderlands 2, I used it for a KREIG build until I reached the bottom of the Psycho tree
As I've recently returned to BL2, after Wonderlands left a bad taste in my mouth, I'm appreciating this list far more than I would have a few weeks ago.
Why did wonderlands do that?
@@Mephist0pheIes Do I really need to justify a personal opinion that's only tangentially associated to my point?
@@Sage-Thyme I was just just thinking of buying the game.. and wanted to know what bad experience you had with it but instead I’d like to know what object is trusting in your rectum because I didn’t do anything to you sir. No need to get all defensive I just asked why you didn’t like a game so I don’t make the same mistake but hey maybe you can help me not make the mistake of being a asshole for no reason online.
@@Mephist0pheIes Well your reply seems to have been removed, probably because of bad language. But I'll address it, my response was entirely neutral, asking why I need to justify my opinion isn't a loaded response unless you're packing context. If you feel that means I've in some way been unkind to you then the issue is on your side, the way you jumped to a crude and insulting second response also suggests to me that you're only feigning indignation.
You state that you're interested in buying the game, why not lead with that, but you're also on K6's channel and he's had at least one video about issues with Wonderlands so why on earth you're asking some rando on the internet rather than looking into it yourself is beyond me.
Wonderlands boring. Bl2=magnus opus
The bekah was amazing in bl2 with my zero build i ran often trough diggi peak with the bekah only. But im sooo Glad that the headsplision is sooo good in flaks hands. You can easely go through the sloughter shaft with only the headsplosion. There Was no headsplosion, but a cobra that never dropped and was absolute dogwater. The skullmasher is a beast yes....it was good in zeros Hand, but its an awsome god weapon in flaks hands :)
The Bitch was the first legendary I really loved in 2. I still have the level 24 fire one I got on my first Zer0 playthrough. I wish it was better in 2, but there are several other great Hyperion SMGs to make up for it.
And yes, the Maliwan-to-Dahl Hellfire switcheroo is mind-boggling.
probably because Hellfire was an incendiary-only Maliwan SMG and Gearbox didn't know where to put it when they started the new alt-fire mechanics to so they transferred it to Dahl yet they let the Thunderball Fists stay in Maliwan.
I was heartbroken with how bad the infinity pistol was. It was probably my favorite pistol in the game so when I got it I was upset
Doesn’t feel satisfying shooting it and too chunky
It's great seeing much of the old weapons return in Borderlands 3 but sad that some was just plan watered down from their former glory.
Dude honestly
I would love to have your outro as my phone back ground
I absolutely love.the colour the rotating brand of your
11/10 it deserves that 1 extra
The Butcher is so flipping awesome. Carried me to like 20 lvls above its weight.
Because BL3 gives out vending machine legendaries like candy I ended up with at least a copy or 2 from every character's run. By the fourth character I had 5 Butchers at various level points in my bank that I just swapped out as I hit it.
I actually like the infinity for a mobbing gun with the CCC zane - infinite ammo is nice, it's not melting everything in under a second but that's kinda ok to ensure freezing, etc - it is hurt a lot more as early cryo zane was my third build, after bullet witch amara and demo moze, thanks to ridiculous power creep just utterly fucking up balance aside for like 40 items, but versus bosses i could just pull out a more kickass gun.
I love the butcher because with crazy fire rate and the revolter you can knockback some enemies but i'll have to pick the tk wave for the beggining of normal mode, it was like the unkempt harold in bl2 because it lasted me to skywell 27 half map, thats quite a lot to me
I'm just glad they un-nerfed the Butcher. That thing for a while had CRAZY kickback. Like you'd end up looking at the sky shooting it.
All the ones I can recognize have been done up in some cool ways with their animations, sounds, artwork, mods etc. Another that might make this list is the shredifier with those underbarrel attachments. I do like the hellfire in this one though and especially after they increased the damage of its ignite
Got a shock Butcher for Zane from Traunt the other day and now I have both it and the Hellwalker, feeling like I can shred everything
The flakker was pretty broken on release with 10-13 mag size ( some builds giving it 4-6 shots per reload ) but it got nerfed pretty hard since Fl4k and moze could maximize its potential.
Well naturally fl4k can sync well with the flakker
@@FleshWizard69420 pretty much, funny thing is they both can still use it fairly well if you max out your mag size.
My first legendary weapon in both BL2 and 3 has been the Infinity. It's not strong, but it'll always have a slot in my backpack
Orge is my favorite gun in BL 1. And the sleek white material of atlas legendary is so memorable.
I'm actually a big fan of the BL3 version of the Conference Call provided that I have a Re-volter shield and a few other things but I still love to use it thou not as good as it's BL2 version but with the right build and other items it can still be pretty fun to use
Love it! Great list! Totally agree with all of those.
The infinity actually seemed cool to me because i thought i could get a next two mags element annoint on it, turns out you can't. It might sound broken but imo it would have been just viable with it but coolish to use on zane but yeah.
Conference call works on eraser zane though, but pretty much anything works on zane if you have the 4th skill tree.
you should do a play through, where it doesnt matter what you use at the beginning or the middle, but by the end for all the takedowns and what not you have to use only weapons that have been in all 3 Bls.
Strange, I remember the Helfire being very underwhelming in BL2, but every time it's dropped for me in BL3 it's been one of the best on level weapons in my inventory. Then again, I only started playing in December of 2023, so maybe it got buffed in the over a year since this video was made.
Storm is my favorite, got it early on and frankly.. before that saw no point of collecting but that beast, at 18 level... You will use it until level 30 and keep around until level 45. It gives those 4 electric balls that zap, plus 2 bullets at 550 damage, plus blast damage and is just excellent at taking enemies that are behind cover.. or ambushing teleported enemies, you shoot a full clip just before they even arrive and are half done...
I played BL2 quite a bit but didn't collect anything there but this sniper rifle changed everything. I was running thru the levels that i previously struggled. Then i got level 13 Smart Gun and i've been on the hunt for a perfect weapon when starting from Sanctuary. I never knew guns make such a difference, and i also didn't know why the bank even existed xD
Krieg mains seeing the hellfire: "Look at how they massacred my boy"
rip the flakker, the explosive Moze build never forgot you before the 1 in the mag nerf
I really wish the Excalibastard from the pre sequel would have made a return. such a fun and silly gun
Yeah the pre-release art for Wonderlands showed a sword in a stone so I thought for sure it would be back but nope
Tunguska was actually really strong on Salvador, it was able to one shot hoards of enemies in open areas
one of the underrated legendary's,the Slagga needed to return to borderlands 3 as maybe a radiation weapon. i would replace any other underrated weapons on borderlands 3,like the eruption.
What really helped the masher was the effect Jacob's had with the ricochet on crits
I'm a Maggie stan, that pistol slaps no matter where you use it.
I remember farming for the original Infinity Pistol, it taking forever and I still enjoyed myself.. Then Bl3's Infinity Pistol came around and I couldn't get rid of them fast enough. They were decent on Crit Fl4k but my nostalgia itch wasn't satisfied.
Doc mercy can be a bitch
Still remember my first pearlescent, got it from an explosive barrel in the area to the left when going towards boom and bewm (can't remember how to spell their names)
“Tough boss not pictured”
Awww. Poor graveward
I actually tried the Conference Call on FL4K Fade Away build and its actually pretty good on FL4K if you play Fade Away build. Granted it's not as good as the Butcher or the Reflux but it works on FL4K and I like it. Its terrible on Zane More and especially Amara. Also I dunno if you own any doc but if you do try using MANTIS CANNON on Zane :)
I think I probably got the Ogre once in a couple hundred hours of playing BL3. I didn’t even remember it was in the game until you put it on the list
I'm interested to see that the Hornet didn't make it on this list, though I guess it makes sense.
I think the Hornet was a great corrosive pistol that made short work of those Hyperion loaders in Borderlands 2. It was also easily farmable, coming from Knuckle Dragger, the game's very first boss. In Borderlands 3, it's corrosive Dahl bursts made a solid midgame return, farmable from the Mother of Grogans in the Anvil. I think it's still reliable, but given it's a corrosive-only pistol, it's in direct competition with Torgue's Roisen's Thorns, which I found to be a great choice as well. It might be hard to rate the Hornet highly now that it's no longer in a league of its own.
Hornet is good but not great. Deserving of honorable mention though
when bl3 first came out and drop locations we're whatever the heck they were I got the conference call 4 times. In my first playthrough from completely random enemies and the first one was from the second ratch i killed after getting to promethea but at all of the levels i got it it was pretty disappointing especially with borderlands 3 having awful recoil with those types of shotguns on console at least, so I didn't use any of the 4 for more than a couple minutes each.
I was actually able to make an Ogre work on my Moze build and have it preform pretty damn well till i swapped it out for a monarch, thing had between 100-200 bullets and would regen ammo faster than i would use it plus add the green class mod that healed moze from spalsh damage? i think it was splash damage and I could just push the fire button and remain immortal so long as i had something to shoot at or the damage recived wasnt a monumental burst, dont remember if it was a god roll for that specific build tho its been awhile.
If I’m not mistaken wasn’t there an infinity pistol in borderlands 1? I remember having an awful orange coloured gun with one of the hook melee attachments on the barrel that didn’t run out of shots.
The infinity can also be in the reward chest from dlc3 (the one in the bank after you completet the dlcs story)
I didn't think the Flakker would be on the worst list. Sure it got nerfed to hell for a bit but when the numerous weapon buffs started rolling out I thought it became better than it ever was, at least in BL3.
Went from a magazine of 1 round and 33% reduced damage to a 50% (17%) damage buff, 23% fire rate, and +15 mag size buff. With Moze I could get a near 30 round mag with the thing at endgame and it still does great damage on M10-11
The Infinity in BL3 is good for farms against enemies that don't have that much health.
For the Hellfire, I got 1 singular drop of it from Jabber. Every other drop was the vladof pistol Magnificent after that. Then I had to try mayhem 3 to finally get it to drop
Dam. . . I remember BL3 Ogre before lvl 72 and he was my main weapon FOR A REALLY LONG TIME! This weapon just destinate enemies on Moze.
Good list, definitely agree about the hellfire.... That one saddened me.
I've actually gotten a mayhem 0 Hellfire. Not sure if it was from the pc community patch but it's the only one I've ever seen/gotten
I love the infinity pistol. It’s not like anyone needs to replace ammo which costs and it can get looted at any level
Oh man, the BL2 storm was such a colossal pos, thankfully they finally made it worth using in BL3. Conceptually it's always been one of my fav guns, so it's good to see such a cool gun finally get the love it deserves.
The crit and the hail are probably the biggest returning guns i love that weren't mentioned
This was a good video and how do you get the skull masher in bl2?
funny you say that warrior is stingy cause Im doing a playthrough of borderlands 2 where I go through the game and dlcs in the order of release got to the Warrior and got a slag conference call on the first kill for the campaign
Bro I’m going to cry I just got done with all the raids on mayhem 3 solo and died a few times and thought I was just bad but I found out that most people do it with a team when you use mayhem mode
Worst: Hellfire. "Look at what they did to my boy!"
I'm still undecided if the sandhawk change was a good thing or not. On one hand, this game has too many good smgs, and not enough base game good snipers. On the other hand, it still destroys in BL3.
Best: Cobra/Headsplosion. Honestly, they just need to stop messing with who manufactures what, and with the name changes. If you insist the name must be the same, then the Torrent. Slaps in BL3, even more than in the Presequel.
On the ps4.....you can get the hellfire in normal mode and it is infact a pretty solid weapon.......the masher is quite the disappointment......and I was fortunate enough to get a world drop bekah.....WOW. I
I really miss the pestilent defiler and double anarchy.....but then again they weren't ruined in the other borderworlds.
The sandhawk would be in there for me same situation as heartbreaker but amazing gun especially with clone zane
I'm surprised the Unforgiven didn't make it in the list, since this pistol went through a weird rework cycle. It was an absolute powerhouse capable of shredding Craw pieces quick, then a shit pearlescent in Bl2, to finally an utility gun in Bl3 only gud for crit swapping with basically. Helluva a devolution I suppose oof
On Zane you want skullmasher on a eraser/boresplosion build
Conference Call was my first ever legendary and it hurts my soul to see it fall so far
I really wish they would bring back pearlescent weapons. Even though most of them weren’t that great there was still that awesome feeling of having one drop 😆
its a blue unique but the Hail. In BL2 it did grenade damage (splash) and had splitting projectiles. Two things that BL3 version dosent have. If we had BL2 Hail then it could have been a lot of fun on Moze.
Great video, thanks!!
I kinda hate to admit this, but I started up a new playthrough recently and I went to Eden 6 for the first time. I fought the Jabber Magui and got the Hellfire first try. First playthrough, normal mode. I was amazed and now it hangs on the wall in sanctuary because its not really useable. Loved the video anyway.
Glad you made this list, since everyone acts like they completely butchered the old legendaries
Great video!
They really forced the unkempt Harold so much w that buff 💀
Let's buff because nostalgia, damn gearbox
Honestly, GREAT idea for a video
After playing ALL the borderlands games your list is accurate dude
I love the infinity, I know its a joke of a weapon, but it is my first bl2 legendary to drop. If it had a 1% ramping damage buff in its base Version it could be a viable fun weapon, but as it is now I like my infinite pea shooter.
IDK about anyone else, but the Flakker feels way more impactful and damaging with its shots in BL3 than it does in BL2 and TPS
Great list K6!
Love these vids! Keep up the good work!
When DLC1 dropped for Borderlands 3:
BL3 Hellfire: *looks at Ember's Purge* Who are you
Ember's Purge: Im you, but better........
Your scripts for these videos are super good, loved this one!
Thanks!
@@Ki11ersix i meant scripts* stinkin autocorrect
Honestly if gearbox can keep only *one* thing from BL3 in BL4 they have to keep the alternate fire modes (I'm counting the manufacturers gimmicks like hyperion shields as alt fire modes (the fact that it's in wonderlands bodes well))also I love the fact that the bitch drops from arguably the biggest bitch just wish the gun was better
I consider myself lucky that a Maggie was my first legendary bl3 drop
I would say I'm surprised at no mention of the Unforgiven at all, but it's still relatively niche. It was trash in BL2, but damn did I love it on Zane in BL3
i use the hellfire on my splash damage moze and its decently fun, but i mean its splash damage on moze so thats not really saying much.
I guess I just got lucky, but my krovvy infinity pistol was so overpowered that i considered not even using it at all, because it almost felt like cheating. Its the only one i ever got, so maybe i just havent experienced the total suckage of other infinity pistols
I always liked the Bonus Package nade from BL2
hell yeah, thanks six love the Bl3 Content
in my run of bl3 I had a infinity pistol but it was slower then that in 10th position with explosive ammo, was just op.
I wasn t using at first time cause it fell like cheating
I think the thing that could fix a lot of the weaker weapons is just increasing the fire rate I have modded and infinity and like quadrupled the fire rate and that actually makes it pretty fun to use so I think doing that for the bitch in the ogre would also make them more fun to use
At this point, I feel like the better strat for Gearbox is to forget Wonderlands altogether and refocus their team to bringing added content to BL3 🤣
So where does the Sandhawk fit? Love the damage but it chews through ammo very quickly. I primarily give it to my clone to use.
Tunguska? Bad? I found it pretty good when I got my first one in 2. Pain to use though. Had to get use to its crazy range.
