Borderlands 3 Weapon Tier List

Best Legendary Weapons List

I’m ranking every legendary weapon in Borderlands 3 in this article. That way you know what the strongest weapons are in the game.  This Borderlands tier list is made with End Game (Mayhem Level 10/11) in mind. If you are still playing through the campaign and haven’t reached Max Level yet, then don’t bother too much with this list as most legendary weapons will work fine during your quest.  Weapon balance works differently in Arms Race therefore some lower-ranked items might surprise you.

• S-Tier Weapons: These guns are the best of the best and will work on any character.
• Weapon Build: Some guns perform better with a certain character or need a specific build to be viable on the higher Mayhem Levels.
• Zane: He can rock any weapon because he is just insanely good. However, he really shines with single pellet weapons. Because of his skill ‘Playing Dirty’, he can basically double the damage output.
• FL4K: Is really good with multi-pallet weapons like shotguns.  Because the skill ‘Megavore’ can turn body shots into critical hits.
• Moze: Can really utilize splash damage weapons by cranking up the damage to 11.
• Amara: Can really shine with elemental damage but playing end-game you probably are already matching the correct elemental damage types to each enemy, unless you use some of the overpowered S-Tier weapons.
