Borderlands 3 | Top 10 Legendary Splash Damage Weapons - Best Explosive Guns

[@SpartanGameZone]

What even is splash damage? Are these guns having water fights in the pool? What am I even counting down rn?

[@danielcasas9244]

Dude I love everything about your vids, ty so much!

[@josephschultz4097]

Thank you for your time and effort to make these videos. they are informative and entertaining, plus I look forward to "what's going on people"

No disrespect because I love your videos but... (makes video on splash weapons then asks in comments what splash damage even is.)

[@luculentname4300]

Just as a reminder or fact for those playing on Next gen consoles, (PS5/XSX) the Complex root doesn't do it's crazy splash radius stuff that it does on PC and old gen. Not sure why Gearbox decided to only patch next gens but not PC and old gen but yeah. Trust me, I figured it out the hard way when I got it and tried to do the room nuking with Zane. Major disappointment ensued.

[@Frank36]

That makes sense I never understood the hype for the complex root, even with my god-build moze it was still okay nothing crazy but definitely usable.

[@Bluechaoos]

Was trying this snipe on an Amara Gun / splash damage build on PS5 , and I didn’t understood why I couldn’t make him strong as hell , tx

[@Uragan00829]

​@@Frank36I tried it on FL4K and it's alright I guess. I thought it is one of those guns that is good on Moze, kinda like Blade Fury, which kinda sucks for FL4K

[@jerrytee4239]

​@@Uragan00829blade fury is for any melee build. The melee builds and splash builds do the most dmg because their scaling is kinda broken

[@CaptainSherbertTheQuestionable]

My personal favorites are.. 10. Fraisor 9. Unkempt harold 8. Plasmacoil 7. Gargoyle 6. Tiggs boom 5. Backburner 4. Sand hawk 3. Flipper 2. Hive 1. Kaoson (Honorable mention: blade fury(haven't used enough for an opinion), redline, beacon, free radical, and skeksil)

[@prophetmaster4997]

Blade fury is disgusting with Amara

[@CaptainSherbertTheQuestionable]

@@prophetmaster4997 honestly with a year of hindsight I would bump the fraisor, tiggs boom, and plasma coil and add the beacon, free radical, and soulrender. I know it does splash damage but I dont see the blade fury as a splash damage weapon but if I did then it would probably knock off the flipper(I know its good but I am a moze main and have gotten bored of it overtime(go to smgs now are the kaoson, crit, and dark army)). That being said id take any of original list and the alterations too during a zero to hero or challenge run.

[@prophetmaster4997]

@@CaptainSherbertTheQuestionable It's probably because I'm running the melee build but I got lucky and got a blade fury masher. That fucker literally SLAPS on mayhem 10 and deals melee splash damage too. It's a beast. This guy named MentalMars made a weapon tier list, it's on point. Most of the guns you have on your list are S Tier.

[@CaptainSherbertTheQuestionable]

@@prophetmaster4997 I mean splash damage is king in borderlands 3. I'd say out of the 10 best guns in the game only 2 don't deal splash(the monarch and the hellwalker if I'm not mistaken).

[@jerrytee4239]

​@@CaptainSherbertTheQuestionable the soulrenders are super fun to use and the kaoson feels really good to shoot. The kaos gives me that feeling too

[@renegade_9173]

Nice video but there are so many other guns that deserve to be on this list, like the anarchy, the hive, the yellow cake, the beacon, the pestilence, there’s a good amt tht could’ve been slotted in for other guns. Either way tho nice vid I rly enjoy these typa videos

[@mag1calsp1d3r9]

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the anarchy and the yellow cake get nerfed?

[@renegade_9173]

[@damienhine1861]

I get the impression that splash weapons are basically the best ones in the game. Not sure if that's true 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@SpartanGameZone]

Yeah for sure. They're great to begin with but get even better when you combine them with AoE rolls which regular weapons lack.

[@damienhine1861]

@@SpartanGameZone are Zane and Fl4k doomed to not be as good if they don't use splash weapons? I know Moze and Amara probably are

[@SpartanGameZone]

@@damienhine1861 FL4K is kinda the opposite and Zane is well Zane. All vault hunters have their own damage avenues so there's not a big difference either way.

Hey man I discovered an interaction and I wanted you to know about it maybe you could do a video or something Get the opq system Atlas rifle and a splash damage moze ammo regen build, and while you're throwing out the cloning maddening tracker switch to the alternative firing mode and while it's replenishing your bullets you can constantly shoot drones out of your gun over and over as long as the CMT grenade is hitting an enemy You can shoot a bunch of opq system drones out of your gun but using the CMT ammo regen

[@SpartanGameZone]

Hey dude, thanks for the info. I remember when it first came out drone spamming was a big thing with Moze, so much so that they massively nerfed their damage. Haven't looked at it since then, might give it a go if the damage is there. Appreciate the heads up.

1. Thumbs up SGZ! 2. The Kaoson and the Backburner are the worst, stingiest farms ever...in my experience. 3. How can Moze use the Complex Root without killing herself?

[@SpartanGameZone]

Avoiding splash damage rolls especially radius can help. A purely shock root with no fire in the skag den etc with a transformer will work. The problem is you'll become progressively weaker trying to mitigate it. It's just one of those things.

[@BlackWat3rGTR]

Here's how, play Zane 😂😂😂😂

[@brado2861]

@@BlackWat3rGTR Zane hits a cap over time of how much dps he can put out if your not using eraser. Moze is more a jack of all trades character. Use a mind sweeper and any splash damage weapon on any boss and watch them melt
