Borderlands 3 | Top 10 Legendary Shields - Best Legendary Shields in the Game

[@duncanhawk4500]

I have reliably farmed the Old God from Amach. He is a cultist with 1blue health bar followed by 2 red who spawns in Curshaven in between the Olmstead Square and Lanterns Hook fast travel stations on the edge of the map. Spawn at Lanterns Hook and head right across the bridge and make your way to the back of the little area. He will drop down through a portal on the porch of one of the buildings against the back right of the area. I dont know his drop rates but hes what I use to farm it.

[@duncanhawk4500]

I'll also mention that he has a 100% spawn rate so you dont have to worry about him being a rare spawn

[@gypdarin1458]

I get my anarchys from him but my two best old gods dropped from him as well

[@jon7497]

Thanks for keeping it coming sgz! Two more ideas for after or during best manufacturer. One is best blue and purple uniques, could be a fun list. Another at the end of series that could be good is top 10 manufacturer types - for example - jakobs pistols, torque shotguns, vladof launchers, dahl ARs, Maliwan smgs.

[@SpartanGameZone]

Great suggestions my dude, I've been thinking about doing a best uniques since the Hail and Terminal Crit buff not long ago.

[@TheSirAzzur]

The Badass Zealot you baited at 3:36 slapping herself in the face had me in stitches. Great Edit. Suggestion, if you add 1-2 jokes per video you make, your channel might boom, otherwise keep the good content coming :)

[@silkartist2013]

When you realize you have found almost all of these but didn't pick them up 😞

[@user-hardbrain]

Same as I've loved Transformer and it's a well rounded shield for all vault hunters.

[@erronblack308]

As someone who hasn’t played since august 2020, the old god definitely has dedicated drops.

[@xrazorwolf2403]

Thank you for covering the nova burner its super underrated and I love to use the marksman nova burner for zane as it can destroy bosses

[@kami3989]

Picked up the class mod for moze that turns healing into shield healing and I HAD to start levelling moze so I could use that with Hail + Version 0.m, that was the initial idea but I guess anything with lifesteal could be massive since every amped shot will set up another one right after anyway

[@toddtaylor8368]

I have a Deathless Fl4k build, with the Deathless artifact, and I use pretty much just the 150% radiation anointments with the Old God buffing radiation damage

[@CyPress19880]

Transformers is my Fav

[@SpartanGameZone]

You have great taste!

[@atlys258]

Great choice, my guy! I quite enjoy both The Transformer and Re-Charger, so I'd say they're tied for 1st for me.

[@toddduffy1658]

It is good defense but boring. The Novas, Black Hole, Big Amp heavy thing are fun. For takedowns I usually use Transformer

[@petersonpierre107]

Fantastic video! I've been waiting for this one! Frozen Heart definitely rocks! I'm surprised you didn't mention the Frozen Snowshoe even in Honorable Mentions. Please consider top 10 best grenades next. Thank you so much!

[@toddduffy1658]

There is no top grenade... I find Quasar most useful cause it disrupts and rips the shields. My Radiation Hex is great eye candy and effective. My best was a Blue. That blue exploded 4 times in a line and bounced off stuff, each explosion set a bullet barrage . It did that away from you and then back to you, It was awesome. Surge, Widowmaker , Red Queen etc almost all legendary Grenades are absolutely worth less. I test them at Mayhem 11 at the Anvil and right next to spawn is Floodmore Basin for very tough Ceratops etc. Don't go deep in anvil a ton of super hard harasses and annointed ones.

[@petersonpierre107]

@@toddduffy1658 Thank you!

[@cesaresaladandthespicycrou4080]

The plus ultra is my favorite. Im a zane main and moze 2nd. Use it for both. My zane literally cant die because basically nothing can 1 shot me and life steal just refills it, and my moze has like 3m health in iron bear. Only way it dies is if i splash myself

[@Radonable]

Band of Sitorak could be mentioned as well since it got buffed a week ago

[@caferacerpall]

surprised to see stop gap as an honorable mention, i have an action skill start on my amara, quite helpful and i couldn't see myself using another

That Messy Breakup shield is cool but super annoying. Good video Mate!!!

[@mogadeet6857]

Late to the party on this one, but glad I watched. No crap, very funny, good info. Thanks SGZ!

[@SpartanGameZone]

Glad you enjoyed it my guy

[@BigMFWrubez]

Big fan of the stop gap too

[@christopherotwell3806]

I was watching this vid while farming it, and while I want/still need a Hypercharge (- recharge delay/+ recharge rate), I just got a RAID, which is arguably almost as nice (double - recharge delay stat) !! Still on the lookout for that Hypercharge Stop-Gap though (with shock resist would be nice).

[@paulellington1505]

The Void Rift is wonderful on a cryo Zane with a good Icebreaker artifact to go with it. Chillin and killin like a boss.

[@BikerDash]

Heh... no love, not even an honorable mention, for my favorite shield... The Re-Charger. My lvl 72 recharger may not have any special killer effects like nova blasts or amps, but it's high capacity (83k+) with it's instant recharge has saved my bacon on more than one occasion. I didn't even have to farm McMidget in Lectra City fotvit. Got it out of the Eridium slot machine in Moxxi's bar on Sanctuary.

[@johncontreras2327]

My personal favorite is the transformer. Back when killavolt had that problem with all the platforms would shock you, it made killing him easy since he literally only uses shock weapons. I wish they one one like for fire

[@1Jinxedahhgoof]

Hey could you please do a top ten 10 best grenade mods? I’m fairly new and want to know what I should be looking for. Thanks! Edit: can you also do a top ten artifact video? And one more question. How do anointments work? What is there purpose? Thank you

[@5stringKen]

Anointments are bonus traits to gear listed at the bottom of the item description. They are rare at lower levels, but you will start to see them once you get toward level 65, especially after you start playing upper Mayhem levels. The anointment descriptions are usually pretty straightforward on what they do. They might not help you -- for example if you play Amara, then a Zane-only anoint won't be useful. But it also won't hurt.

[@grene-lw4xp]

Hey dude, you said the Void Rift belongs to DLC 1. That's wrong, you can only obtain it in DLC2. But thanks for the great video!

[@dreadedpickle2728]

I've watched this a1000 times..... Thank you good sir

[@revnto7k]

Right now my go to is the Plus Ultra... Just a beast on my phasegrasp Amara.. She can survive anything. The red suit is attainable through Earl's Vending machine as well, so its not exclusive to whoever you said dropped it "only". I have seen a few in that machine.

[@vinaypullakhandam4378]

Such variety back then. So many builds to try. Kinda defaulted to revolter now. It's too OP

[@donald984]

Yeah the only shield ive ever used is the transformer, but i might try the band of siterack

[@roymindmybusiness6908]

Bulwark Front Loader shield for my build Mose -just outstanding

[@dreadmonkey6811]

Infernal wish (i think its called) with the tobbagan..on my rocket fl4k. Its just a great shield

[@akira6996]

You really help me

[@robsteries]

After a year, moving on, would you still keep it at these? Or would the Re-volter, super soldier have a place in the top 5?

[@SpartanGameZone]

Revolter, Infernal wish and super solider are all up there now. There's an updated list here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3KYi5KPjs1oi80

[@h3llisr3al]

The Beskar became my favorite shield, makes slaughter shaft much easier

[@Solar-Novar]

Honestly the Altruist Rico and the Double Downer are both incredibly to.

[@avocadoarms]

Not really. Reflection outside of the Beskar isnt useful. You still take the damage, and enemy damage is not scaled to do any meaningful damage to each other.

[@5stringKen]

Great video. Fascinating suggestions here, but I've used Transformer for my splash Moze main forever so I've gotta stick with it. I don't have to think because my brain is wired to shock immunity. Also, any time I'm in trouble, I unleash my shock Complex Root which deletes that pesky mob swarm and the massive shock AOE heals me at the same time.

[@rickycupp3186]

Revolt is definitely the best sheild

The Black Hole is an acceptable substitute, and way easier to farm.

If you find the right spots in the arena you can shoot all the crystals without even jumping on the hovering platforms its kinda tricky but defenitely worth it since it will speed up the farm tremendously

Unfortunately because Moze can't activate her action skills very often it's not great on her. Plus Ultra would be better for survivability.

does everyone else have too speed SGZ videos up to 1.5 so it sounds like normal speed?

Do shields scale with mayhem level? If I want a shield does it matter if i get it at mayhem 11 or mayhem 1?

[@davidp4270]

Yes it matters get mayhem 10

[@Mystic_Apollo]

No but it will drop more, the only thing mayhem level does for sheilds is increase legendary droprates, meaning itll be easier to get said shields

Hey dude I’m subscribed and love ur top ten vids but I’m wondering if u could help me wiv my moze build better understanding the game n what to equip as moze is m sort of getting a better understanding of the game bit by bit but need help bro any tips would be much appreciated

[@5stringKen]

You might want to search KZbin for Moze builds. I'm still old school: I go with splash bonuses in the skill tree because I like blowing shit up. So, I stick with weapons that do splash damage. That means fighting at medium range so I don't blow myself up! Others go with bottomless mags builds for infinite ammo, or Iron Bear/Iron Cub builds. Along with splash I have a pretty powerful Iron Bear, but I typically only jump into him when I'm in trouble.
