Thanks To:
@Exotek for the banner, @Ha_Na and @Hoyle4 for their tremendous work formating this for my lazy butt, @Sljm for his custom corrosive emoticon, @Charrisx for all the links and pictures and @khimerakiller for his very valuable help with the content.
This is a list of the gear that we, as the community, feel is the best for Nisha for each category in terms of synergy with Nisha’s skills and overall effectiveness. Each piece of gear will be accompanied by a short rundown on the weapon, ideal parts and how to get it. Everything is shown in relative order of preference: Weapon type, entries within each section, parts (if multiple are suggested), elements and Luneshine or glitches (if any).
Each entry name is also a link to a picture of a min/maxed version of the item.
A Note on stocks: I’m not gonna waste space on each entry for stocks. As a rule of thumb, the best stock is Dahl on weapons that can have them, with Hyperion being the second best. On Shotguns, the Hyperion stock is the best, except for Hyperion Shotguns, where Torgue is just as good. On Hyperion Lasers, the Hyperion Stock is the best, because it increases the Crit Bonus by 10%.

#Pistols
(back to top)
### Luck Cannon
An interesting Jakobs Pistol. This gun only has one round in the chamber, but each shot has a chance to create splash as Explosive Damage. This proc chance scales with the distance from your target (the farther you are, the more chance to happen). This is an absolute beast of a gun, as its “balancing weaknesses” just so happen to be fixed by Nisha’s skills… it’s like the designers were thinking of her when they made it.

Drops from Badass Glitches

### Slapper
Given Nisha’s well known Ammo issues with Pistols, it makes sense to try and get the most out of each bullet you have. The Slapper is a Torgue Pistol that uses the Torgue barrel, giving it the highest possible Damage per Ammo spent for an automatic Pistol.

Win-Win (Damage) Prefix -
Obtaining:
Holodome (Guaranteed in Round 1)
### Shooterang
An interesting Tediore Pistol, because the biggest upside to it isn’t its unique Reload. The Shooterang’s very high base Damage helps alleviate some of her Ammo issues, and Nisha’s many Fire Rate boost skills will push this into Anarchist territory.
-
Elements:

Jakobs or Torgue Grip

### Maggie
A Jakobs Pistol that fires 6 pellets per shot for just 1 Ammo. Great for tagging large groups of mobs with Trick Shot and The Unforgiven. Used to be the best Pistol for Nisha before the DLC and has been since dethroned by the Luck Cannon.

###Jakobs pistols
Yes, all of them. Jakobs Pistols synergize well with most of Nisha’s Skills and with their high damage and 25% multiplicative crit bonus (which gets applied twice when you wield 2), they are prime choices for Nisha. The Pepperbox and the Iron are the best choices among them. The Pepperbox fires two bullets at the cost of two Ammo per shot and only comes in glitched version, while the Iron has the highest Damage of all Jakobs Pistols.

#Shotguns
(back to top)
The Flayer is basically a variant of the Coach Gun. The Coach Gun has access to Glitches, but the fact that this thing shoots two extra projectiles and has a larger Magazine Size of 9 allows it to outperform the Coach Gun on almost every occasion.

###Boomacorn
The Boomacorn is pretty special. It’s a Jakobs shotgun that shoots 5 small “rockets” that deal pure splash damage (so they can’t crit without Tombstone’s help) each with a random element and massively increased damage. If you can stomach the Neighing sound it makes each time you fire, it’s one of the best mobbing guns out there. Almost guaranteed one-shots on normal mobs. Aim at the ground at your target’s feet (or shoot from above) to be sure to land all explosions near your targets. Note that while it has all elements at its disposal, it’s officially a non-elemental gun, so it does benefit from Magnificent 6 and Hot lead.
- Elements: Random
- Best Parts: Punisher or Safeguard luneshine. Other parts are fixed
-
Obtaining:
Grinder/world drop
### Torguemada
Fires Explosive projectiles in a fixed triangular pattern that produce a number of small, delayed flak explosions on impact. 100% Splash Damage instead of the usual 85% for Torgue Shotguns, additional projectiles, very Ammo efficient, subtle historical references…what’s not to like ?
-
Elements: Only
-
Best Parts:
Torgue Grip
Casual (Projectile Count) Prefix -
Obtaining:
Mission Reward from “Torgue-o! Torgue-o!”, when turned in to Mr. Torgue
### Party Line
Unique Tediore Shotgun that fires projectiles that explode into “firework-like” Incendiary flak (Counts as Spalsh, 100% Damage). When Reloaded, the gun flies straight up into the air before exploding into more Incendiary flak. Very Ammo efficient and very fun. 
-
Elements: Only
-
Best Parts:
Tediore or Jakobs Grip
Gentle (Projectile Count) Prefix -
Obtaining:
Holodome (Guaranteed in Round 4)
Increased Damage. Consumes 4 Ammo per shot. Projectiles split into several “flak” explosions that occupy a fixed area. Does extremely well against large targets, such as Felicity or Iwajira, as these explosions can Crit with Tombstone. The Ravager is the Non-legendary version and, while less impressive, has a much more traditional firing pattern and works just as well on smaller targets.

Obtaining:
Flakker: Drops from Even-More-Disgusting-Tork in Stanton’s Liver
Ravager: Grinder/World Drop
### Striker
Increased Type A and B Critical; sniper-like Accuracy; low Spread. Considering that it only consumes a single Ammo per shot, the Striker synergizes extremely well with most of Nisha’s skills, especially Magnificent Six, FFoB, and Tombstone.

#Lasers
(back to top)
### Absolute Zero
Legendary Cryo Beam Laser with a very high Elemental Effect Chance coupled with a 218% Continuous Damage Bonus coming off a base Damage that is almost double that of the Thorny Ol’ Rosie. Has a Magazine Size of only 12, but this also means that you can maintain a constant Quick Shot buff. On top of that, the Recoil is much more manageable compared to any other Maliwan Beam Laser, making this a great choice for hip firing.
-
Elements: Only

Obtaining:
Drops from EOS in Deck 13.5

### Mining Laser
Very high Damage, Critical Hit Damage, and Elemental Effect Chance. Fires three target-penetrating projectiles in a tight triangular pattern at the cost of 7 Ammo per shot. This synergizes well with Trick Shot. Also an amazing freeze tool when in Cryo.
-
Elements:
-
Best Parts:
Maliwan Grip -
Obtaining:
Mission Reward from “Infinite Loop”, when turned in to DAN-TRP
### Splitter
Lasers that use the Tediore “Splitter” barrel. The Tediore ones fire 6 projectiles (as opposed to the 3 of other brands) at the cost of 3 Ammo per shot. In addition, their Reloads feature a “Tesla” Shock AoE before exploding. While the Reload isn’t fantastic, Tediore Splitters are among the best vanilla Lasers. Requires a bit of investment in Trick Shot to really shine. The Maliwan Splitters are also great.

### Laser Disker
Although this Rocket Launcher wannabe has a slow Fire Rate and cannot crit, those 2 things are where Nisha excels. It also has humongous damage potential with reload throws. Most ammo-efficient laser by far.
-
Elements: Only
- Best Parts: Tediore Grip
-
Obtaining:
Grinder/World Drop
### Maliwan blaster
Very low recoil which makes target acquisition easy even outside of showdown. A decent base damage in combination with a very high Continuous Damage Bonus at 210% makes it hit really hard once Nisha ramps up the fire rate. Add in really good stats everywhere else and ricochet synergy for Trick Shot and The Unforgiven, and you’ve got yourself a hell of a gun.

#Sniper Rifles
(back to top)
### Pitchfork
Fires 5 horizontal shots in a line, shaped in a “V” pattern. Consumes 2 Ammo per shot. This weapon performs amazingly against bosses, hitting several bullets on their generally larger Critical Hit Spots with each trigger pull. The Droog is a good replacement and can be even faster in certain cases (if you “pre-roll” a glitch before the fight)

#Assault Rifles
(back to top)
###Hail
With its unique parabolic firing pattern, the Hail doesn’t play nice with either Showdown or trick shot. It can’t benefit from Hot lead or Mag6… But this gun’s upsides more than make up for those flaws. Between the 200% crit bonus, the unlisted splitting projectiles, the 2% healing and the 80% splash damage, the Hail needs no help to shine.
-
Elements:

Best Parts:
Vladof Grip
Ferocious (Damage) or Rabid (Damage + Fire Rate) Prefix -
Obtaining:
Drops from Iwajira in Serenity’s Waste
###Minigun
Dahl AR with the Vladof “spinigun” barrel. With its 3-shot 9-bullets burst, and the stability and accuracy to go with it, the Minigun is one of the best guns in the game to aim down the sight with. Combine that with Showdown’s auto-aim for crit spots and you have a very potent gun. It also gets a LOT out of the red glitch as bursts are not affected by the fire rate penalty that normally goes with it. While not as impressive, the Major Tom is easier to get and suffers a bit less during Showdown as its horizontal shot pattern can still get strafing enemies.

### Gatling Gun
Jakobs AR with the Vladof “spinigun” barrel. Fires 3 bullets at the cost of 3 Ammo per shot. High Damage coupled with a nice Type B Critical bonus make it a well rounded AR for any Jakobs build. Although it is slightly less Ammo efficient than a Hammer Buster II, it more than makes up for it in DPS.

### Hammer Buster II
Extremely high Damage per Ammo spent when compared to similar Jakobs Assault Rifles like the Gatling Gun. It has lower DPS due to its lower Fire Rate but better Accuracy to compensate, and piercing rounds. (which could crash your PC/console when used against certain bosses in conjunction with Unforgiven. Be warned)

(back to top)
### Fridgia
Always Cryo. Very high Elemental Effect Chance. No Recoil, extremely high Burst Fire Count. Fires 2 bullets at the cost of 1 Ammo in a fixed pattern of the Lascaux cave paintings. Great as a freeze tool, for crowd control and setting up Crits. Trick Shot can compensate for the fixed firing pattern.
-

#Rocket Launchers
(back to top)
“Just because @Chuck80 is a baby and thinks he doesn’t need them doesn’t mean that we can just ignore an entire weapon category” - A peeved editor
… (groan) …fine.
###Mongol
Fires 1 initial rocket for the cost of 2 ammo that spits out more rockets the longer it travels through the air (so the larger and further your target, the better). These rockets deal 60% of the main rockets base damage , are always explosive regardless of the main rocket’s element and are heavily affected by gravity. The Mongol potentially has the highest burst DPS in the game, especially if you switch to a weapon with high critical damage while the rockets are in mid flight with Tombstone active. It is also unparalleled at building stacks of Unchained.

Torgue or Vladof Exhaust

Grinder/World Drop
### Badaboom
Fires 6 rockets at the cost of 1 ammo and has a very deep magazine. It can come in all elements and has a low blast radius, but to make up for this it has the highest damage per shot out of all of the launchers. It also works very well with Tombstone, because in the short run multiple instances of damage plays nicer with Tombstone as apposed to 1 big instance of the same damage. If you are fine with the fact it uses a very limited expensive ammo, this weapon can be one of her best boss guns in the entire game and easily overcomes the bullet reflection mechanic some of them have. This gun is also very good at building stacks of Unchained.

### Kaneda’s Laser
Fires an ultra-precise explosive railgun-like blast that can naturally crit and has 100% splash damage. It also works with skills like Trick Shot and The Unforgiven, unlike most other launchers. Since it’s big selling point is that it can naturally crit it is best used like a sniper (ADS) where it becomes a mob destroyer. It is one of her few play styles the takes a higher skill level, but it comes with a big reward when you pull it off. It is also an excellent FFYL tool, second only to the Nukem.

#Grenade Mods
(back to top)
Note: Assume the preferred Fuse Time for all Grenades to be 0.0s, and the preferred Delivery method to be Longbow.
### Transfusion
The Transfusion Grenades are manufactured by Maliwan, and return Health to you after they Damage an enemy. Both the initial explosion and the child Grenades deal Damage and can proc Elemental Effects. Especially useful in Cryo.
-
Elements:
-
Obtaining:
Grinder/World Drop
### Cryo
A Vladof Cloud grenade that deals constant Cryo Damage to any enemy in its Area of Effect. This is a great way to freeze multiple enemies at once, setting them up for Explosive Damage and/or Crits! If you don’t want to use a Cryo weapon, grab one of these instead.

#Shields
(back to top)
### Haymaker / Adaptive Shield
Adaptive Shields provide bonus Health and Elemental Damage Resistance, and are great for all purposes.The Haymaker is an interesting Adaptive Shield manufactured by Dahl, as it comes with the ability to punch your DoTs away. More importantly: it comes with the highest Health boost out of all Adaptive Shields, which helps a lot with boss fights.
-
Best Parts:
All Anshin parts -
Obtaining:
Haymaker: Mission Reward from “DAHL Combat Training: Round 5”
Adaptive: World Drop/Grinder
### Shield of Ages / Turtle Shield / Fabled Tortoise
Turtle Shields (and their variants) lower your Health in exchange for massive Shield Capacity. This means, among other things, that it lowers the threshold required to gain stacks of Order. It also has great synergy with Bottled Courage, Law (as the bonus is % based) and Discipline. Much less interesting against bosses as you would have enough time to accumulate Order stacks anyway, and it leaves you with much less Health to take advantage of those stacks. Mostly mobbing Shields.
The Shield of Ages has the largest Capacity of all Turtle Shields (~200k at Level 70) at a comparably small Health penalty (~20k at Level 70). The catch is that it has fixed Parts, and those parts give it fairly poor Recharge stats. However, Discipline and Bottled Courage can compensate for this downside.
The Fabled Tortoise is a middle ground between Purple Turtle Shields and the Shield of Ages. It slows you down when it’s up, and speeds you up when it’s down.
-
Best Parts:
Shield of Ages: Fixed Parts
Turtle/Tortoise: Pangolin or Anshin Parts -
Obtaining:
Shield of Ages: Mission Reward from “The Temple of Boom”, when turned in to Gladstone
Turtle/Tortoise: World Drop/Grinder
### Naught
An interesting Shield with ZERO Recharge Delay, which means that it is constantly recharging, even through DoTs. Since DoTs are the only common thing that don’t trigger Order, they’re one of the most dangerous thing out there for Nisha. That Shield takes care of them completely. You can be standing on lava for hours.
-
Best Parts:
All Scav parts -
Obtaining:
Tales from the Borderlands Season Pass
This Shield absorbs Laser Ammo and boosts Laser Damage and Resistance. A lot of enemies on Elpis use Lasers, so the defensive capabilities of the Bulwark are actually pretty useful. This Shield coupled with an 3DD1.e is the go-to combination for any Laser-based build.
-
Best Parts:
Maliwan Body
Maliwan Battery
Hyperion Capacitor -
Obtaining:
Drops from Zarpedon and the Sentinel
World drop/Grinder
### Asteroid Belt
This Shield comes with a chance to launch an Explosive homing projectile upon taking Damage. Another good addition to an all out Cryo + Tombstone build.
-
Best Parts:
All Maliwan -
Obtaining:
Mission Reward from “Guardian Hunter”, when turned in to Sterwin
### Black Hole
Returning Shield from BL2. When depleted, it pulls in enemies before releasing a Shock Nova. Works best for a Melee Hybrid build, but the pull and Nova can be used to good effect when coupled with Discipline and Bottled Courage.

#Class Mods
(back to top)
+49% Freeze Chance / +49% Cryo Damage / +14895 Shield Capacity
+4 No Pain No Gain / Faster ’n You / High Noon / Trick Shot / Tombstone
Probably Nisha’s best COM. A premium choice for a Cryo-based build. Great all-around. Crapshooter will give more DPS to Jakobs builds, while this gives more DPS and survivability to Cryo/Explosive setups.
-
Obtaining:
Holodome (Guaranteed in Round 3)
Grinder
+49% Cooldown rate
+5 Law / Wanted / Ruthless / Bottle Courage / Bona Fide Grit / Quickshot

### Sheriff
+16190 Health / +43% Gun Damage

Gritty (+5 BFG, +4 Law, +4 Unchained) Prefix -
Obtaining:
Grinder/World Drop
### Six-Shooter
+49% Jakobs Damage
Magnificent Six / Quickshot / Crackshot
The go-to COM for a Jakobs Shotgun build that can stack Crack Shot and Magnificent Six. (pretty good with other low-Mag Jakobs guns too)
-
Best Parts:
Swift (+5 QS, +4 CS, +4 M6) Prefix
Note: If you don’t hipfire much, use a Loaded Sixshooter (+6 MS, +5 CS) instead. -
Obtaining:
Grinder/World Drop
### Crapshooter
+49% Critical Damage
Unchained / Trickshot / Tombstone
One of the best choices for pure DPS, especially with builds focused on Jakobs guns. Offers almost zero utility, turning you into a glass cannon. Premier choice for speed runs.

Best Parts:
High Rolling (+6 Tombstone, +5 TS) Prefix -
Obtaining:
Grinder/World Drop
#Oz Kits
(back to top)
### 3DD1.E
In addition to its Laser Damage and Shield Capacity boosts, in combat, there is a random chance for Shields and Health to rapidly regenerate. When damaged, there is a random chance to release Shock bolts that damage nearby enemies. When killing an enemy, there is a random chance to release a care package, which provides Health, Ammunition and/or Money drops. This is a great all-around Oz Kit based solely on the utility it provides, but is mandatory for Laser builds.
-
Elements: Only

Obtaining:
Drops from CL4P-L3K in Veins of Helios. If left alone during the mission “Eradicate!”, you can come back later to farm it.
Grinder/World Drop
### Systems Purge
This Oz Kit uses some of your Oxygen in order to deal a NE Nova on hit that can shatter air masks. Also replenishes Oxygen on kill. All in all, it’s a fairly consistent boost to DPS, especially in Atmosphere.
-
Elements:
-
Obtaining:
Mission Reward from “Eradicate!”, when you destroy CL4P-L3K
### Precision Strike
Increases Accuracy and Critical Damage while Airborne. Especially useful when using guns with low Accuracy (like Shotguns with double or bigger barrels, Splitters and so forth) as it’s when the boost in Accuracy is the most noticeable. The Crit Damage bonus is also a big help in increasing DPS.
-
Elements:
-
Obtaining:
Grinder/World Drop
### Tranquility
No friends? Don’t worry, because the Tranquility Oz Kit is just as good, providing a Damage Boost that is only marginally smaller than a 4-Man Support Relay, without forcing you to have a 4-Man Co-Op with the same Oz Kit. The Damage boost is almost always at its maximum in Atmosphere, and can be easily kept high in Vacuum.
-
Elements:

Obtaining:
Grinder/World Drop
###Bomber
Considering that Tombstone can make grenades crit, and that a lot could be said about the cryo/explosive/crit synergy, having more grenades at your disposal is a pretty good deal.
