For the Roisen's Thorns you missed out on a great joke. "Don't be fooled by this guns beauty, it's such a beast."

[@i_1mpuls3]

Tizzy at 4😭

[@MAD1R_21]

In my head I knew a lot of the things you were gonna put but I didn't expect that Light show Edit: at number 2

[@i-darxide2139]

Ok i cant sit here and say nothing I used a venomous hornet from level 60 to 72 and it destroyed EVERYTHING I think you should atleat put it in a THIS GUN FKIN ROCKS... Please revisit it. It may have had a buff

[@ivywalker3299]

My all-time favorite legendary pistol is the dastardly Maggie.

[@Saint-Jimmy]

Pro tip: You can also farm Ki11erSix for the Unkempt Harold. It's definitely in his loot pool. Sad the Hellshock didn't make the cut but variety is the spice of life! (Does not apply to marriage)

[@Justman889]

"This gun will eat ammo like I eat jelly beans and that's a lot" hahaha love it

[@jumbie2929]

No matter how many pistols I try and want to love, you’re dead on. The free radical is just an awesome pistol and I keep going back to it. Love the list, keep up the good work!!

[@garyberger9257]

I haven't come across it yet. Nice to know I've got other guns to look forward to. Right now I'm in love with the Multitap and a couple of others.

[@IlNamelessKinglI]

Never got into it. I think its a boring gun. No pun intended.

[@christophermack2602]

That’s how I feel about the Maggie there is just something about it that makes me fall in love

[@majorastorm]

Lightshow for me

[@Shearper2]

one of my favourite pistols from BL3 was in the handsome jackpot dlc. the torgue pistol that fires exploding hot sauce bottles. can't remember the name, but loved that pistol

[@Ki11ersix]

Scoville

[@onlypedro5830]

The Roisens Thorns is finally getting the love it deserves. It's my undisputed favorite weapon.

[@slyvesterakaspookmcskull6113]

it really feels like a handcannon, and it looks sexy as hell too

[@melanievaughn8544]

Still waiting on it to show up on this gun fucking rocks 👀

[@somerandommushroomhead1534]

That thing carried me for like the last 8 hours on normal mode story.

[@XlBlackGryphonlX]

I'd say one of the most fun Pistols I've ever used on any character is the Scoville from DLC 1, even if it isn't at max level, it just feels so fun to use.

[@MrStudabaker]

Love the Scoville.

[@harrimat100]

Omg, the Tizzy. With my current Zane build, that gun just shoots fast. It's so much fun watching those health bars drop. Ah, 5 seconds of fun.

[@riemaennchen]

Prompt Critical, Roisen's Thorn and Unkempt Harold are waaaaay to much fun on Moze.

[@dylanhill4428]

So happy to have the top 10 bandits back

[@garyberger9257]

I love the Multitap. I'm surprised it wasn't higher on the list, even tho the others were some great guns. Still, the Multitap is just too awesome. I love that thing.

[@Trogdor825]

Multi-Tap on FL4K is pretty amazing. With Megavore it's possible to get multiple crits on all marked enemies. Using Fadeaway just takes that to the extreme. One of my all time favorites.

[@caenelson2134]

Personally the Maggie is in my top 3 at the very least. As a Fl4k main it’s saved my hide on so many occasions and I always find myself going back to it. But I agree that all of the guns you listed are incredible. Keep it up! ❤️

[@brettrossi034]

I am only LVL38 in my first playthrough of BL3, but I found myself enjoying and using the pistols more than any other legendaries I've gotten my hands on. I try out just about every legendary I get, but constantly find myself back to using the pistols with a mix of the assault rifles sprinkled in.

[@Cerran032]

The Maggie is extremely broken. I don’t know how, but I managed to get a level 4 Maggie, and I used it well past the Katagawa Jr fight. A level 4 pistol was dealing more damage than a level 20 sniper rifle.

[@theredwolves7770]

I know that it's practically a tickle gun, but the infinity pistol is still by far my favorite. It's such a simple concept but I love it so much.

[@Bersh-xq4jy]

"Locked elements make weapons unusable!" Hellwalker, plasma coil, and #1 pistol. You hear sum?

[@MattHew-rq8zw]

Don't forget Hydrafrost. XD

[@MattHew-rq8zw]

Oh right, and gargoyle.

[@MattR8605]

I've noticed the free radical's homing bullets can trigger Moze's short fuse keystone, making it even stronger on her than it already is.

[@patrikhjorth3291]

Speaking of Moze and the Prompt Critical, it's worth noting that sticky bullets explode when you switch fire mode, not just when you reload or switch weapon. This is very useful if you have a Bottomless/Demolition build, since you often don't even have any empty chambers to reload. If you want that sticky damage buff, no need to change your build! By the way, do you think Karass Canyon is named after Ellie? I mean, since she has _so_ much junk in her trunk?

[@MattHew-rq8zw]

I think her Scrappy skill in bottomless mag helps her shine a little extra, as the mode-swap speed is increased (while moving). Prompt critical is just a beautiful beast, ain't it?

[@flatulenttater]

I love the nemesis. Idk what it does unique from other Dahl pistols but it shreds everything, armored or otherwise

[@ArcNine9Angel]

For anyone wondering, it alternates between shock and fire damage on a timer. Does pretty good in normal mode still for me, but often slows down the time-to-kill when in shock mode.

[@theAmazingJunkman]

I was super shocked to see Roisen on the list, but thats only because I haven’t been keeping up with all the patches

[@Mace2.0]

I liked the Devil's Forsum. Fuckin' thing is very useful on my first playthrough, and it wrecks EVERYTHING in it's wake. Downside was it's short-mid range (plus small spaces), but doesn't matter to me (a Moze main) where it's useful for the next 10 levels. Didn't get to use it more, because it feels too easy.

[@catqb9188]

Yes! The radical and light show were definitely the perfect picks as far as pistols throughout the games content. That radical is my go to for mayhem 11 farming. Amazing content per usual my dude 💪 stay you!

[@BrochuresFact809]

I finished the game with Free Radical I love this pistol it's a beast. I'm now on Mayhem 11 for farming, wish me luck.

[@grifmaximus]

I rolled an Unkempt Herald today on max level/max mayhem with corrosive damage, which is really gonna come in handy for melting Wotan

[@paulyauley5593]

I've only had the first DLC at the time of this vid but from the base game and that I like the DP Echo and Roisen's Thorns, as well as the Thunderball Fists

[@nuclearsaltlord8497]

I kinda thought the prompt critical was like the Harold and the x4 version didn't actually add another projectile

[@matthewmcdaniel875]

To me, rating weapons is based on 50% power/effectiveness, 50% fun of use. The tizzy, for example, is powerful but not very fun as you chew up ammo and it's only good for bossing The most fun pistol to use that also shreds, to me, is the Multi-Tap. It's just a blast. Light Show is #2, Radical #3.

[@grimreaper63151]

Love how in the beginning months of borderlands 3 one of the best torgue pistols was the moon fire. I'm sorry but I think that thing needs another buff cause it's too weak now to compete with the other torgue pistols now

[@mikerlawrence]

I love using The Flood with Amara and Lootsplosion...Phasegrasp, link everyone, and criticals empty the room and drops a ton of loot. Looking forward to the next game to drop.

[@makrostheblack4791]

I have the Dangerous Thunderball Fists legendary pistol. It's only a level 22 version at the moment, as I am only just level 30 in my play through, but holy crap is it a fun pistol! It lobs ball lightening that explodes with massive splash damage lightening when it hits anything. At level 30, I still haven't found a better pistol, as it has been tearing shreds out of even the toughest enemies so far. I've been pretty much using it exclusively for a bit now. Hoping that I can find it again once I hit level cap!

[@makrostheblack4791]

I should note, I'm playing as Amara. I've only ever played the Siren since BL1, lol.

[@Ki11ersix]

One of the cool things about BL3 is that there are Legendary items that are great on normal mode and others that are great at Mayhem 11

[@makrostheblack4791]

@@Ki11ersix I'm expectant of that, it was pretty much how I found BL1 and 2 during the many hours playing those as well. Wishing I hadn't left this one on my shame pile for so long at the moment. Having an absolute blast with so many things reminding me of past events... like the metal plate covering the hole in the bridge of Sanctuary III... saw that and was instantly thinking "I remember when that happened!"

[@axtra92]

5:51 why are amaras arms there?

[@ruzenlire]

I know I'm late to the party, but I turned the xbox off for a couple years. Back on and loving BL3. Leveled Zane up and now just farming. Your videos are a great resource. TY!! I'll be caught up for BL4 :P

[@BRflaNk]

In my first playthrough I dropped a Magnificent, and felt like a minigun with Moze. Carried me for like 10 Lvls. I feel like you can make a great build with it (Honestly this can apply to almost everything in BL3)

[@JMWeaver]

My favorite pistol is probably the Miscreant. Not as OP as a few other pistols but man, is it just fun to use in that double barrel mode. My Moze uses Infernal Wish and it's absolutely silly.

[@oxygen__gd]

I have one with the annexed prefix and it doesn't disappoint

[@dylancopenhaver1224]

9:16 i would say the light show is extremely op with moze like everything on this list mainly cuz she has her incendiary skill which makes this weapon melt everything im on my first play through with her on my xbox and even at level 30 this gun is still shredding and i got 10 levels ago

[@Trxfxlgxr]

I could've sworn there was a comment earlier asking where the infinity pistol is

[@jacobcain9008]

Im sad The Flood wasnt on here. I got it early on my melee Amara and i absolutely love it. Shooting 12 bullets a second is a little overkill though.

[@Custer_X]

My favorite pistols are the Lightshow and the Maggie.

[@sheenacords1642]

*cough cough* trickshot gang *cough*

[@PromethiaSHADOW]

K6s dedicated loot drop is the Linoge.

[@Ki11ersix]

Clearly

[@sevenwhatuknow]

Just beat my first playthrough and it's mainly owed to The Flood pistol. Full auto Jakob dealing elemental with Amara . One shotting almost all enemies except for bosses. The legendaries just on normal were dropping like crazy. I played BL2 for 9 years. I have never gotten a Norfleet to drop. No matter how much farming. A full week dedicated to only Hyperious. Months to Vermivorous maybe spawning and possibly just clipping out of game. Nothing. Sad stuff.

[@simplygaming8460]

I’m really happy bl3 learned from bl2 that there should be strong weapons from the dlcs

[@bradulovic82]

I think Hornet should be at least in the honorable mentions.

[@jonathanm6138]

Super op 😂

[@iitsubliiiminaaaal]

I agree. I have the anointed now, and I love it!

[@somekindarobot]

I know it's only viable in normal and early mayhem but I love The Duc and The Flood. Roisen's Thorn is always my go-to and probably my favorite gin in this list. Also Unkempt Harold is just a fin gun to use.....I need to give these others a shot too though, most of them I haven't used

[@matthewmcdaniel875]

I wish they'd buffed The Duc. It was so fun on my first playthrough.

[@eggyjames393]

With Amaras ricochet build the duc is viable up until around mayhem 7 maybe 8 if you farm a mayhem 10 levelled duc

[@courier-ec6zj]

For the replay, I've noticed that it feels like how many hit a enemy, rather than marked enemies, that increases fire rate. It's been awhile since I've had one, since the bosses they drop from are tough.

[@Jthanson88]

Well everything that’s hit with one of the trackers is marked. So unless I misunderstand what you’re meaning to say, it’s the same thing

[@mister_muffin3625]

My favourite pistols are mostly quite the underdogs. Nothing too busted (looking at you, radical), but still fun to use and powerful, if you build it right. Those pistols being the Amazing Grace (wish it was anointed), Craps, Hydrafrost, Love Drill, Magnificent, Moonfire, Multi Tap, Scorpio, Companion and the Flood. I also loved the old Harold, but Gearbox ruined that one for me with the buff. A pain I cannot hide.

[@Cuestrupaster]

My favorite pistol isn't even a legendary, it's the Quickdraw... sadly can't be annointed... did they said anything else about quest rewards being able to come with annoints?

[@Ki11ersix]

I’ve begged for them to fix it

[@420Blazei]

@@Ki11ersix pain

[@mesaisbaesa9035]

@@Ki11ersix one of the devs I’ve spoken to said that some quest rewards just can’t be anointed due to how they are made, but that they are working on the ones they can.

My favorite of all time is the Flood. I know it's not that good, but I love it nonetheless!

[@tienthanhnguyen1540]

I really want to know the worsy list more, cuz honestly the pistols are so strong, it matters more which one to avoid, cuz otherwise they're all great.

[@jennyinutil2018]

Free Radical also varies from 65000 damage to 125000 damage Also don't use the times 2 version, it's bad

[@EpicNNG]

The lack of Trickshot on this list is unforgiveable

[@Ki11ersix]

lol

[@techwiz7947]

Top 3 best pistols in Borderlands history 3. Free Radical Shred shred Shred 2. Nemesis invader Disintegrate enemies 1. Double penetrating unkept Harold What do you expect?

[@FredRated1967]

With the Tizzy, I really like giving it to my clone on Zane. Oh what havoc he does with that weapon.

[@UltimaXVI]

I may have a x4 fire UKH on my Moze but most things either die or my ammo regen almost negates the ammo lost. The only reason I kept it was because it was a max damage version

[@fl4kmain397]

The beacon is the most underrated gun in the game

[@raymondrainwater9803]

Best gun for a lazy Zane, give yourself a transformer and a shock main beacon. Just jump in the face of the enemy and swap. Used to be a very effective build before the 4th skill tree.

[@TheWasteed]

I actually use a Lucky 7 build and it's ridicilously good. With the right build (I use one with terror anoinments), you can get the rolls forever. Sadly, when you change Map, you always have to reroll :() Before that, I used an Build with Snowshoe and Light Shows in all variants. All on Fl4K. At the moment I search for another build on Fl4k. I would like to try something with Jakobs-Weapons.

[@aaronbennett1266]

I love ALL of these, but really fell in love with that damn multi tap! OMG

[@innythebest1435]

I love the harold but in bl3 I just don't use it because the prompt crit just feels a lot nicer in this game even though the harold just does so much more damage

[@MrBeefy-og7nw]

Great choices!

[@Graptis2]

Great list! Thank you K6!!

[@Mitrashi]

I never knew about the roisen's thorn impact ability. I always use torgue weapons in sticky mode. Wow

[@thewfprofessor2914]

It may have not made the list but we all know that the Linoge is your real #1 when it comes to legendary pistols

[@Vepzzzzz]

I'm late to the party but I'll always love the Scoville or whatever it's called from handsome jackpot. I like my big explosions.

[@andrewmartinez02]

No. NO. The Lightshow is absolutely number 1. No question.

[@DramenDude96]

Even though it's probably one of the worst legendaries in the game, I will always have a soft spot for the Infinity. Love the sleek design and it's low key carrying me on my pistol only no abilities Zane run, just running around and holding left mouse button. I love my cheap Temu Light Show

[@xXJIJIPONGXx]

I'm not keen on the roisen's thorns or the light show. I'm not denying they're strong weapons, but just feel the lack of uniqueness with just having extra projectiles. I appreciate the free radical also essentially has this, but at least it flies around a bit first!

[@jacobshortt8176]

At least the light show is actually a light show, I enjoy watching the bullets

[@renegade_9173]

Y’all are sleeping hard on the pestilence, it isn’t a shooting gun but the nova reload hits like a truck since it gets action skill scaling and scales off of gun, splash, and action skill dmg. Pair it with a red suit and make sure u dnt have an ase that is other than rad on ur shield or grenade, plus throw on a elemental projector and you’ll 1 tap everything with little ease

[@dipsetplanz]

As a Moze main I found myself using the epic peashooter more, though my next two mags free radical is gonna be top for now🤣

[@mcflu]

As absolutely stupidly strong as some of these will be (just started the video.....2 years late lol) The Maggie will always be my favorite. Side note, I mainly play Destiny 2 and with the recent crafting bug that hit the game recently I was fondly able to bring masher pistols to D2, so I got to combine my favorite franchises 😂

[@chefcc90]

The light show got demoted to #2? Whoa...

[@paskaroni2244]

Free Radical would be my top choice as well. Kudos on the list. While I poo-poo most TORGUE weapons, you’ve shown a few here that I should get more attention to.

[@exactinmidget92]

[@nellyovalle8376]

Honestly the prompt critical is amazing on FL4K. I use megavore and fadeaway yo destroy my enemies

[@thepyro-gamer3399]

The Duc is a great Jakobs starting pistol with an explosive twist

[@abrahamalviarez5870]

I got the resolute light show yesterday playing the bounty of blood dlc, and daaaaaaaaamn, as zane main, this weapon KILLS anything, with the pearl of infinite knowledge + pilstol dmg equip + cryo dmg roll is just the best weapon in game. i run it with mantis+dron

[@D3leteMe]

Dude The Lucky 7 is hands down the best in this list, with Moze one shot and oblitereate everything if you rollled all of the buffs. Thing is you only need explosive rounds and 7 pellets do destry everything that moves. It's hands down the best weapon for her that's for sure.

[@DantesGirl0]

I always get excited to watch a new video from you. And when after you get done asking which pistol is better.. I started thinking.. but then you hit me with the revenge of the Cartel music and it made me so damn happy and sad because of me not able to play my game at the moment. But I was so fucking happy. I did watch the whole video.. but after I keep playing that amazing music.. I can talk about that all day long and how revenge of the cartels is my favorite event

[@zeakz7203]

number 7: multitap you have learned much young k6!

[@KillerMeme]

I do know that auto reload on being downed guardian perk let’s you keep your lucky 7 rolls cos it’s more a mag refill than reload

[@makrostheblack4791]

The Free Radical sounds similar to the Dangerous Thunderball Fists

[@brawler5760]

It’s really hilarious to me when people say that there’re so many bad legendaries in this game. I’d actually argue there are even more viable legendaries in this game than in the other two games, BL2 and TPS.

[@Ki11ersix]

There’s more endgame viable legendaries in BL3 than there are total Legendaries in BL2 I think

[@superkuigi64]

I love the new outro boyo

As the countdown went along without the Free Radical being mentioned I was prepared to revolt. Fortunately, I didn't have to.

[@drewmerka1300]

Zane using the tizzy and his shadow clone becomes a lethal accurate grim reaper!

Free Radical is stupid powerful but I'd take the Light Show myself. Not element locked, easier to aim on the fly, no charge time, crits are pretty much a certainty and it absolutely wrecks.

My predictions. Free Radical, Harold, Roisens Thorns, Lightshow, Replay, Res(?), Maggie, Critical Edit: Tizzy and maybe Skekksil
