Borderlands 3 Best Legendary Shotguns

Best Legendary Shotguns

There are a lot of legendary Shotguns in Borderlands 3 but like any true Vault Hunter, you only want to best of the best. This weapons guide will tell you exactly which pistols you should have equipped in your inventory. So get ready to farm these babies:

5 – Hellwalker

Borderlands 3 Legendary Jakobs Shotgun – Speedloadin’ Hellwalker

The Hellwalker is a Jakobs Shotgun and it’s a beast and is made to kill. It’s basically the shotgun from Doom and the game also plays into that. Just point and shoot everything in your path and watch it explode. The Hellwalker can be randomly obtained from any loot source but it has a high chance of dropping from Road Dog who is located in The Splinterlands on Pandora.

4 – Face Puncher

Borderlands 3 Legendary Hyperion Shotgun – Face-Puncher

The Face Puncher is a Hyperion Shotgun that is rather unique because the damage it deals is based on your character’s melee damage. Therefore, there are some really cool things that you can do with the Face Puncher if you pair it up with the right gear and skills. The Face-puncher can be obtained from any farmable loot source but has a high chance of dropping from Handsome Jackie who is located in Skywell-27 on Promethea.

3 – Convergence

Borderlands 3 Legendary Hyperion Shotgun – Convergence

The Convergence is a Hyperion Shotgun that rises to the top of the best shotguns in the game. For each pellet that is listed on the item card, the projectile will spawn 3 more pellets on impact. These additional pellets will travel outwards for a short distance before converging into the target. The fire rate and the magazine size are a bit low but this weapon makes up for it in raw damage. The Convergence has an increased chance of dropping from Dr. Benedict who is located at the Benedict of Pain in Krieg’s Mind.

2- Reflux

Borderlands 3 Legendary Hyperion Shotgun – Reflux

The Reflux is a better Brainstormer. While this Hyperion Shotgun is always Corrosive its base damage is so much higher than that of the Brainstormer that it still wrecks on enemies that are less vulnerable to the damage type. The Reflux has a high capacity shield. Damage to the weapon’s shield will returns bullets to your magazine. Just like the Brainstormer, the Reflux will create a chain between enemies. The Reflux is Mayhem Mode 6 or higher Legendary. You can get it from GenIVIV who is located in Voracious Canopy on Eden-6.

1 – Anarchy

Borderlands 3 Legendary Tediore Shotgun – Unlimited Firesale Anarchy

The Anarchy is a Tediore Shotgun that is a call back to Gaige from Borderlands 2. In that game, she had a skill called Anarchy that allowed her to gain stacks that increased her damage and reduced her accuracy. This weapon does the same thing. When you manage to get ALLL THE STACKS, the Anarchy will deal A LOT OF DAMAGE!!! The Anarchy can be obtained from any suitable loot source, as a world drop on Xylourgos, in the Guns, Love, and Tentacles DLC. Check out this guide for Best Legendary Farm Location in DLC2.
