Hey guys! This is a port - NOT MY WORK!
This is @Sljm’s guide to offhand guns - the web archive version is here and I will endevour to maintain its format.
However, this may require some updating so please let me know and I will update the guide.
NOTE - one statement that was in the OP has proven to be incorrect : “Magazine Size boosts from Relics don’t work for the offhand.” - I have changed this to “does work” in the guide.

Oh, hi.
Simple post here. I’d like to maintain a list of “stuff” that doesn’t work for offhand weapons, for quick reference for all my fellow Gunzerkers. Dual-wielding leads to some interesting stuff, but for all the glitches in our favor, there are also a lot of things that simply don’t work on the offhand weapon.
It’s worth noting that all Badass Rank stats work for the offhand.
Unless I specifically mention it here, assume that it does work for the offhand.
I welcome contributions to this list, for example:
- Something not mentioned here that doesn’t work for the offhand.
- Something that I stated doesn’t work, that does work for the offhand.
I haven’t tested everything, so if I’m wrong or missed something, I welcome the opportunity to do more testing.
