Borderlands 3 | Best vs Worst in Slot Legendaries!

[@SpartanGameZone]

The Best/Worst will vary by build, but this shows the power gap in this game. Existing shields got left behind with Season Pass 2, but SMGs still sting the most for me. What do you guys think?

[@kazan944]

I think you should make another one :)

[@ErosXCaos]

Most of the time I like bad gear over mediocre. Oftentimes bad gear has a debilitating stat to compensate for an extra good one, and I like trying to make it work. Can’t do anything with mediocre, as there’s nothing special to them.

[@yoichisena6583]

Fade away & monarch❤ absolutely splendid..

[@Mifa5670]

I think "Pain is Power" is an even worst assault rifle

[@toblerone1729]

It's unusable at high mayhem levels because of how extremely easily it can down you, and at that stage you may as well use the NoPewPew

[@Mifa5670]

@@toblerone1729 that's the best C.O.V. assault rifle

[@SpartanGameZone]

@@Mifa5670 the only reason that and the embrace the pain weren't worst is they're decent pre mayhem mode, otherwise 100% agree.

[@Mifa5670]

​@@SpartanGameZonethe hand of glory can be at least decent in a Fl4k build For the best i prefer the Blade Fury, only because the Monarch is not so good with Zane and Moze

I’d gladly take the crossroads over the lending,cheap tips,mother too,vanquisher,vibrapulse/ripper/etc etc

[@timchapman8337]

Another great vid, thanks for sharing

[@Clit_Yeastwood]

I'm still devastated about the crossroads and the hellfire tbh 😔

[@elvinskylark6950]

at least hellfire is viable when build around it, you can check StoneSwan build where he optimizes it so that it can function well even in true guardian takedown

[@treytison1444]

I feel you on the hellfire. It looked so cool in 3 too.

[@Edgerunner-ld8lg]

The ringer is also a contender for the worst grenade

[@SpartanGameZone]

Yes I don't enjoy using it at all. At least it kills things though but of course that includes the player.

[@zanderhatch]

Loaded Dice has some synergy with a Bloodletter build, especially if you don't want to farm Phoenix for a Deathless. The Phoenix's OTHER drop -- Phoenix Tears -- literally does nothing after you've played the game even once. It gives you full health on Second Wind... but than the second-level Guardian Rank reward Resilient gives you full health AND full shield. Plus it's gated behind one of (if not THE) worst farms in the game.

[@ZachIdso]

Varies seems right. Even the equipment that gets made fun of or snubbed seems able to score big hits if they've got a clever setup to back them up. Lots of replay value in testing those setups

[@nunyabeezwax6758]

THE SAPPER. OH MY GOD THAT THING IS AWFUL. THE ROLLS ARE JUST BAD NO ONE USES ANY OF THE SKILLS! :( AND THE ONLY THING IT DOES IS GIVE YOU SUSTAIN!

[@ryanegeler6059]

I've recently become a fan of the channel since getting back into BL3 after the update. I'm using one of your FL4K builds, and have been able to play on mayhem 11 with relative ease. I still need to farm a Peregrine, but something I noticed was that I've only been able to farm a Blackhole Fish Slap, and not the Supercell. I was wondering if playing on normal mode has anything to do with that? Side note, I also can't seem to trigger the 2nd half of the Cartel Event to go back to the mansion. Any tips would be greatly appreciated 😅

[@SpartanGameZone]

Awesome man, so glad you can play on mayhem 11. Playing on normal mode won't affect your drop rates at all. If you want to farm the mansion the fastest you should avoid killing Joey. Save/quit after killing the underbosses in the fight and you can repeat it. Otherwise you need to talk to Maurice and collect the decoder rings again. Hope that helps!

[@ryanegeler6059]

@@SpartanGameZone That's where I messed up! Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm also assuming the ring drops are in random locations much like the 1st time?

[@ACommonBee.]

The Binary Operator to be good should have a bonus of 1000% crit dmg and a x5 dmg multiplier on crit but keeps the 1-2 dmg

[@narfd.8837]

In terms of artifacts the Loaded Dice at least has a build type for it to fit in (healthgate spam). It's still terrible, but it at least has a role, the Phoenix Tears has no place in the game due to guardian rank perks making it fully obsolete.

[@sergionavarrocardenas1586]

Hey I made the Mitosis Moze and Grandmaster Zane builds and I have no idea why I don't deal as near the same Damage as you do. What is failing? And yes I'm using things like Free Radical, Flipper and Plasma Coil.

[@SpartanGameZone]

There's a lot of pieces to the damage puzzle. For Mitosis Moze splash boosts on artifacts and coms will help, URAD anoints and Infernal wish too. Zane ASS revolter is an easy damage increase and make sure you have all of your anoints working. Without seeing your build it's hard to diagnose the damage loss but hopefully that helps.

[@keithdrake9107]

Cool Linoge shoutout to K6!

[@Blakeadam52]

it bums me out that so many legendary weapons are either unusable, or mediocre. (aside from the cross road) the lesser guns could all be purple or blue, so at least they can still be above, AND be creative, other side of the coin is make another rarity like we used to have with seraph,pearls and reserve those for the best of the best guns, while allowing legendaries to vary, but somehow, making them at least useful for in game mobbing, or regular bossing.

[@treytison1444]

This is legit one of my biggest problems with Borderlands. They cannot figure out balance whatsoever. When mayhem levels came out not only did they only rebalance SOME legendaries and ignore the rest but they ignored all lower rarities, meaning now all non legendaries were worthless for mayhem and the buffed legendaries were now wildly overpowered for non mayhem mode and completely trivialize a first playthrough.

[@elvinskylark6950]

I’d say Cold Warrior is the worst class mod, as the status effect damage doesn’t scale off anything. While Shockerator can scale with splash damage, splash radius and action skill damage. On top of that it can roll Best Serve Cold, a kill skill that triggers a cryo explosion with cd of only 3s => can proc it easily with cannon + can scale with the 3 aforementioned stats. If min max carefully we might actually have a new off-meta build here

[@keithnirelgidotan3480]

Why I use faisor shotgun on mayhem 11 with moze it's really killing all things compare with monarch

[@SpartanGameZone]

Yes, faisor shotgun is goated on Moze

[@deefyler]

I would argue that the Light Show is better than the free radical, but I may be biased as a FL4K player

[@SpartanGameZone]

@@deefyler For fadeaway FL4K you're absolutely right.

[@jakub3561]

How the heck did you get the hell walker times 10 variant please tell me

[@mikejardine8046]

Creeping death is a reference to the Metallica song of the same name.

[@juncho1977]

Man, I miss the pre nerf Yellow Cake. It sucks when gaming companies nerf weapons so that no one will use them anymore.

[@mikejardine8046]

My mitosis moze still mobs with it and destroys everything at m11 no problem.

[@windebiesteultima3317]

…the yellowcake is still pretty good tho? It’s just not “the best”.
