What's your Favourite Grenade / Class Mod / Shield / Relic / Weapon? (Borderlands 2 edition)

Borderlands 2 Loot and Weapons
#1

So I saw this closed topic in the Handsome collection section. Since I almost just play bl2 I wanna open this new topic here :smile::ok_hand:
I’m always interested in the opinion of the community so tell us your favourite

1.grenade
2.class mod
3.shield
4.relic
5.weapon

So mine are

1.MagicMissle(×4)
Best slag granade in my opinion. Nobody can confirm me to use a low level one because the op8 version strips shields and save my a** with a moxxi weapon
2.Legendary Hunter/ Siren
My go to COMs for zero and the siren always
3.Rough Rider
More health, resistance and good senergy with a lot of skills and playstyles. Who needs a shield? But when i would go with the blockade
4.Bone
Cooldown and damage
5.Kitten,CC and Bekah
Just love these guns. Kittens for Krieg, CC for Zero(or everyone else) and Bekah for my Maya.

  1. Grenade: Quasar… a little overpowered, but pulling enemies into a tesla grenade so they can’t escape the zap is satisfying.

  2. Class mod: Legendary Ranger… Axton all hopped up on enhanced kill skills really turns him loose.

  3. Shield: Deadly Bloom… it softens enemies up when it depletes, and if you take a knee, having the second blast give you a Second Wind with full health because you were holding a Moxxi weapon is a fun two-point reversal.

  4. Relic: Dahl allegiance relic… it’s a game changer for those guns.

  5. Weapon: Landscaper… it’s the only prox mine in the game, and you can still shoot straight at an enemy if you’re spaced just right (so the shot hits the target but you don’t eat the blast). Quite capable of critting if you aim one of the corners at the crit spot, but this isn’t as efficient (or fun in my opinion) as laying down a trail of mines and luring something through it.

That’s not the first time i heard of someone really likes the landscaper. I definietly have to try it out.

About the alligance relic: currently farming the loottrain and want to have a jakobs and dahl relic too but not really know for what stats i should watch out :thinking:

  1. Shock singularities under which I’ll include the Quasar. It’s used the most on average : Maya gets ultimate crowd control , Axton can use them in FFYL to hoist targets into range for an easy SW. Of course the others use Chain Lightning and Storm Fronts, so can I just say shock grenades? :wink:

  2. There are so many favourites ( L Ranger, L Torch, Monk, L Catalyst, L Ninja ) but for me it’s the Legendary Binder that made the most impact on the way a character can be played. ( edit : the Legendary Berserker gets a special mention. It made one of my builds viable in the OP levels )

  3. I’d be tempted to go with the safe choice ( Blockade ) or the most cherished ( Hide ), but I agree the Rough Rider is the coolest.

  4. Bone - specifically shock because Unforseen! ( special shout out to the Jakobs allegiance though )

  5. Hail. What a surprise. Every character can crank this thing to 11. Sadly, it doesn’t Bore very well :confused:

  1. FASTBALL! It’s too fun not to here here in my opinion!
  2. I don’t think I have a favourite but the most game changing one for me is most likely the legendary reaper or siren!
  3. Depends on the build as always! But either hide of terra or big boom blaster!
  4. I always get bored of the bones (they’re too good) I like the blood of the seraphs! That’s always fun to health stack whilst mobbing.
  5. Probably the Teeth of Terra, in my opinion it is the most satisfying gun in the game, when the jaws clap down and one shot the enemy it’s great.

Your gun choices suprise me until now. Thought the hail is only good with axton and i never really used it. Same with teeth of terra. There are so many cool shotguns in this game i wish i had more ammo for them :joy:

Grenade- we agree, x4 MM. On Axton, Krieg and Sal (with Double Your Fun) it can do ridiculous damage

Class mod- while all VH have some great mods I’d have to say the Unhinged or Two Gun Berserker mods for Sal. They can hit two of his best skills and while leveling up can be a real life saver. Honorable mention: L. Hoarder

Shield- for everyday mobbing any good absorb shield but preferably The Transformer- it has one of the best ‘gimmick’ in the game. For raid bosses and the Peak- The Bee really makes life easier (until it goes down…)

Relic- Sheriff’s Badge. All my characters use pistols as their primary weapon so it’s always in demand

Weapon- as my FFL weapon of choice I have to say the DPUH. Honorable(?) mention goes to the Infinity, as I hate getting caught in a reload animation in FFL…

  1. Chain lightning anyone? Insta health with Maya, or other characters while holding grog. Also, why are the best grenades all shock, (Chain, storm front, quasar?)
  2. Legendary cat or ninja. They always help me out with dealing damage if the bee is down or love thumper isn’t depleted
  3. I’m sorry, but the bee. There’s not much else to say other than more damage. With zero, I mainly go rapier/love thumper, so… Yeah. Screw law and order, this is Pandora. (Not the radio station)
  4. Bone or strength. Again, it depends on who I’m playing as, Maya or Zero.
  5. Elemental bitch/slag rapier/harsh language. Okay, I know I could choose the tattler or sandhawk but the bitch is just perfect for mobbing, even from far away.

  1. Quasar cause of its effect and the skin on it is so goooooood!

  2. Blood Blister/Diesel Blister cause boosted Fuel The Blood/Bloodbath are crazy and the fact that you can have both in one class mod is just … :sparkling_heart:

  3. Really hard to choose between Flame of the Firehawk, Antagonist and Black Hole, it really depends on the character I’m playing. But since Krieg is my favourite I guess I have to go with FotF.

  4. I don’t really have a favourite relic. I guess Blood of Terra cause it’s legendary and a legendary relic looks sick.

  5. Has always been and will forever ever be the Conference Call. :heart: Perfect combination of my favourite manufacturer, favourite gun class, sweet ass skin, hilariously cool name (I don’t know why but seriously, when you see a gun called “Conference Call” you know it’s gonna be awesome) and amazingly looking special ability. Almost forgot to mention that it’s also very very effective on big targets especially. I could go on and on but I won’t. But I could. :stuck_out_tongue:

Try a shock one on Gaige with an elemental anarchy build.

:scream:

  • Hellborn / Bloodlust Krieg : builds EE and Bloodlust stacks, the splash gets grenade boosts, and can trigger Blood Bath
  • Maya : great to top off health ( who uses a Grog with Maya?? ), but also Phaselocked targets are at the perfect height for the gun :wink:
  • Gaige : see above. It and the CC are the core of a lot of LBT builds
  • Salvador : well…maybe not. I’ve done dual Hails, but it’s weird and annoying
  • Zer0 : Rising Shot and Two Fang - same as any Vladof

Otherwise : healing, bullet splitting, splash and extra crit. How is that not awesome?!?

(quick note - never to be used with anything that increases bullet speed : Velocity, Accelerate or the Swift prefix)

Oh boy it’s really tough to narrow down all these but I’ll give it a go

  1. Fastball. Without a doubt an excellent grenade on all characters but it really stands out on Axton and Krieg. On Axton I never have to worry about dying because as long as I have a Fastball that enemy is going down.

  2. My favorite class mod is the Legendary Soldier for Axton. Very versatile COM on him and good all around.

  3. Favorite shield is a toss up between the Blockade and the Flame of the Firehawk. The Blockade is my primary defense shield on all characters except Sal and Krieg. On those two I use the Flame of the Firehawk and it works wonders.

  4. Favorite Relic is the Sheriff’s Badge. While I’m not a big pistol user, what is does for pistols is huge. Especially that fire rate buff.

  5. This is easily the hardest one for me. But if I had to give an all time favorite it would most likely be the Bitch. I just love the gun in general, the skin is great, the accuracy is amazing and since it’s an SMG it has a huge ammo pool making it a great primary weapon coupled with no element restrictions as well as it’s crit bonus. If you can snag one of these on Maya or Axton and get the enemy in position they completely melt. With Axton’s “Metal Storm” skill the recoil reduction and fire rate makes it even easier to stay on target and melt. Additionally since Axton has so many boosts to gun damage he gets a lot out of high crit guns which the Bitch so happens to be, which is the inverse of Zer0 where you want high damage guns since he can boost crit so much. All in all solid weapon and a blast to use.

Oh man you shouldn’t have told me that… i can literally see me farming for perfect prefix without an ugly scope for days :joy:

The Hail can come with a Vladof or Torgue scope or no scope. You absolutely do not want a scope. It totally messes with your FOV.

Ferocious prefix is best, but Rabid is good too ( one of the only ARs that can be usable with the “Wild” prefix ).

  1. Fastball, great on any character. Requires you to aim, but when it hits it’s a homerun so to speak

  2. Legendary engineer for axton. Great mix of dps, survival, and cooldown.

  3. Probably the bee becuase reasons. Blockade and quick recharge delay Tediore shields when i don’t need all the extra damage

  4. Explosive relic becuase reasons!!!

  5. If i have to pick just one i’d say the heartbreaker. It’s only downfall is it being fire only, but any other element and the name wouldn’t make sense

Agreed. Wreck and metal storm are overpowered with bitches

I prefer a faster Hail myself: only one of my assassins gets to use it, so Vel0city is on deck. It’s got a nice crit damage bonus, and I find that higher bullet speed makes the trajectory much straighter so I can land crits much more easily (as well as rock the other bonus damages that come with Vel0city).

I basically never fire it at a distance where I’m trying to get the split pellets to land on something… non-accelerated Hail shot makes leading a moving target much harder, and even still, I’m rarely getting all the double shot to hit. Firing a leveled beam of shot from the Hail at an enemy’s crit spot with +11 Vel0city though… :heart:

The teeth of terra is probably the most satisfying gun in the game!

I just died to a Bruiser who had one… when you’re close enough to a target for all the shot to hit, it’s lethal. My Bandit Mechromancer gets to use a Teeth, and it’s one of her staples for sure.
