Good 4th weapon to use in my load out?

Borderlands 3 Zane the Operative
#1

I’m talking about during ammo intensive activities such as during the Slaughter Shaft.

Currently I’m using an O.P Q System, Kaoson, Redistributor, 4th slot unsure on.

Want a third weapon type to make it harder to run out of ammo.

Thinking shotgun but the three choices there are Lob, Reflux, Anarchy I think.

Reflux isn’t as good on Zane since you can’t make the amount of chains Amara can so it does eh damage. Anarchy is a pain to stack and even then you have to stick with it or lose stacks. I’m using a ×20 physical with 100% Sentinel Cryo one. Even damage is only decent instead of one shooting everything.

So that leaves Lob but its not quite as good as it was but still a pretty consistent weapon so it still might be the best choice. Its a Shock lob with 26k damage.

What do you guys like?

I’m Chain Zain using 100% Cryo annoints mainly.

There are some very good launchers right now. YC, Plaguebearer, Nukem, a Backburner if you can get an M10 one. Much more usable for mobbing with the SDU increase.

#3

Never been a huge fan of Launchers but yeah I suppose that is an option. I wonder if 100% Cryo or 300% damage against enemies would be better.

#4

300% is probably the best on launchers. I have a Nukem and a couple Plaguebearers with it and they one shot many, many things.

#5

Anarchy all day soooooooon.!!!

#6

You can interrupt the reload by reloading/emoting and get ten stack in on mag. But yeah, the rest is very true though. I’m having a Sandhawk as a 4th.

#7

You get used to it. I use it as my main weapon then when it runs out I go to the other weapons I’m not a cultured kinda guy I’d rather cycle through my guns as they run out/low

#8

Enemies I guess are pretty tanky in Slaughter Shaft because I don’t one shot them with fully stacked Anarchy. Otherwise I’d consider using it more.

#9

Yeah I think those days are gone unless you get the god roll cryo sntl cryo x18 with weapon damage consume 2 and have the right rolls on your com/artifact that boost shotgun damage and cryo damage etc… :joy::crazy_face:

Any point in having two redistributors, in case there’s immunity to the current one? I run with the three you mentioned, and my fourth is another redistributor - a shock redistributor and a radiation. I’ve also done your three and a yellowcake.
