Borderlands 4 Weapons - Full Legendary Database

Semi-auto only high damage with that insane crit ricochet that bounces bullets to nearby enemies on headshots and I swear landing a crit chain with a Jakobs sniper is one of the most satisfying feelings in any shooter I've played. Pistols, snipers, shotguns, ARs. Ngl the Unforgiven might be my favorite gun in the whole franchise

Burst fire with virtually zero recoil and the alternate fire modes let you swap between burst patterns on the fly which adds a surprising amount of tactical depth especially in endgame content where you need to adapt to different enemy types in the same encounter. SMGs, ARs, snipers, pistols. The Sand Hawk is sort of absurd right now with the right build

The accuracy ramps up the longer you hold the trigger so your first few shots spray everywhere but then it tightens into a laser beam plus the shield attachments give you extra protection while aiming down sights which I've found incredibly useful during extended boss fights where you can't afford to take chip damage. SMGs, shotguns, snipers. Conference Call and it's been a classic since BL2 you know

Two elements on one gun that you can swap between without reloading or opening menus which is such a massive quality of life improvement for mobbing when you're constantly switching between shielded enemies and flesh enemies in the same arena, the charge-up mechanic has a learning curve but once you master the release timing the splash damage output gets completely ridiculous. SMGs, snipers, pistols, shotguns. Hellfire still melts everything with a red bar

Everything is explosions all the time and I'm not kidding every bullet is a gyrojet that you can stick to enemies or surfaces and detonate later and the splash damage radius on some of these weapons is so large that you literally can't miss even if your aim is terrible which is probably why I gravitate toward Torgue so much honestly. Shotguns, ARs, RPGs, pistols. The Unkempt Harold is basically a handheld delete button for anything in front of you

Insane fire rates with huge magazines and underbarrel attachments that give you an entire second firing mode like a shotgun or a grenade launcher or a taser bolted onto your AR which is great for versatility when you need both sustained fire for mobs and burst damage for badasses without swapping weapons and losing momentum. ARs, pistols, snipers, RPGs. The Lyuda sniper shreds bosses if you stack crit

You reload and the entire gun turns into a grenade that you hurl at enemies and the damage scales based on how many bullets were left in the magazine which is such a fun risk reward mechanic especially on weapons with huge magazines, some Tediore guns even sprout legs or wings and walk around shooting things by themselves after you throw them and it never gets old watching your shotgun waddle toward a psycho. SMGs, pistols, shotguns. The Baby Maker spawns extra explosives on impact for chain reactions and stuff like that

Smart bullets that literally curve around corners and obstacles after you tag an enemy with a tracker puck or grenade meaning you can sit safely behind cover and just fire into the sky while your bullets magically find their target and I have to admit the first time I saw bullets arc over a wall and headshot an enemy I couldn't see I actually laughed out loud at how absurd it looked. ARs, pistols, RPGs. The OPQ System is what happens when Atlas stops holding back and just makes something overpowered

These weapons don't have traditional reloading at all instead they build up heat as you fire and you repair them with a coolant splash when they overheat which basically means infinite ammo if you're disciplined about managing the heat bar and don't just hold down the trigger like a maniac, and tbh I had to retrain my muscle memory because I kept instinctively hitting reload out of habit and wasting the coolant. ARs, pistols, heavy weapons. The Skeksil fires in this weird but effective spray pattern that grows on you
