 So today guys, I bring you my favourite 5 pistols in the game, now for me this has been a super hard choice, I mean there are so many great pistols in this game and in the end I decided to choose the 5 pistols I saw myself using most. How's it going guys, my name is dpj and today I bring you another bf3 video, if you guys do enjoy leaving a like really helps me out and subscribe if you want to see more. I'm screening I can see my weekly giveaway along with last week's winner, to be in the team of a chance of winning this yourself, follow the instructions on screen now and good luck. Now I know this list will probably piss somebody off because their favourite pistol isn't mentioned, that's why guys I want to hear your opinion into what is the best pistol in this game right now and actually give me your top 3 pistols in this game right now and leave them down below in that comments section. Okay so onto my list, in that 5 we have something kind of many people won't even have heard of and it's a rare weapon, it's called the carboncle, now the carboncle is a tog pistol slash alien tech weapon with an almighty punch, this drops I believe from literally every enemy loot source in the game, I've seen it drop most of it in a slow shaft, it does drop I believe offering all elements in the game too, it comes in a few different variants also, all I believe though consume the entire standard magazine size upon shooting a single shot, there are 9 times variants obviously shooting 9 times at a time, 8 times variants and 5 times variants, there may be more which I haven't even come across yet I don't know. You can see they also offer extra benefits besides the normal 650 times damage by the variant you have, benefits like 100 plus splash damage radius and normally a plus 40% reload speed. So as you can see the projectiles as things shoot are seriously tight together almost looking like a single projectile until you shoot a target a little further away and you can see the spread. The weapon deals serious damage though, if you get the initial damage really bullets hitting that target which also cause additional ticks then the projectiles, they stick to the target then explode dealing even more damage as well as damage over time. It is a great weapon and although many people are put off by using weapons that are not legendaries, I would consider if you ever come across these people to give it a try. I would say using a build which allows you to regenerate ammo or gives you a bigger than standard clip as with a weapon like this, that's how you make the most out of possible DPS with it. So yeah guys, number 5 on my top 5 pistols list is a rare. The first and only non-legendary weapon on this list. So let's move on. So at number 4 on my top 5 pistols list is the duck or juke I believe this is actually pronounced. Now this Jacob's weapon on paper doesn't actually seem that good, possibly comparing stats by paper to others on my list this really would be one of the weakest, weaker than many not even on this list but in reality guys that couldn't be further from the truth. This pistol is actually quite a powerhouse, due to the fact it actually shuts stick to their target and do ok damage but then they explode and do extra massive damage. Magazine size is quite low but again that can be extended and worked around. This weapon I do believe drops from the rampager and it's well worth your time trying to get it if you haven't used it already. With its plus 10 critical hit damage, a plus 93% weapon damage, a plus 90% reload speed and a plus 100 splash damage radius. Which comes into effect upon that explosion obviously and it's quite brutal. Now obviously variants can differ but they're usually around this offering similar stats to this. It also being a Jacob's weapon ricochets to shut through nearby enemies upon a critical hit. So yeah guys the duck is a great great pistol in my opinion, one I actually believe is a little under the radar, one I absolutely love using till this day. They saw moving on and in at number 3 on my top 5 pistols is an old favourite of mine. Now I won't lie to you guys, I almost forgot about this until going through my bank, seeing it and reusing it and then realising how great this thing was. And easily companion. Now this is a weapon I believe rewarded from Huck Carl's crew challenge but it's also a world drop too as far as I know. So this, yet another Jacob's pistol ignites an enemy on every critical hit. It's utterly brutal people, although it can't ignite enemies with body shots so that doesn't matter because you always aim for the head anyway. But also amazingly about this is the fast reload with a massive magazine size for a pistol too. You can't take the sky from me, this is a reference to an old TV show called Firefly. This thing has a plus 10 critical hit damage bonus and a plus 15% reload speed. So reusing this beast after a while of it gathering dust in my vault I realised just how great of a weapon this is. In fact even now placing that number 3 on my list, I ain't sure if it should be higher. If I used it probably for another few days it could possibly climb this list. It's a great great weapon, one that would definitely fit many builds out there and one I know many pistol fans enjoy using. Ok so moving on to number 2 on my list of top 5 pistols in the game and it's a new addition to the game. One which arrived with the much highest of the handsome jackpot DLC and it's the Lucky 7. Now the Lucky 7 is one of the most unique pistols in this game. As upon every reload you get a chance of rolling 5 perks with your weapon's next clip. The Crit perk which makes every shot count as a critical hit, full auto which also increases fire rate too it seems, a random elemental effect like explosive rounds and Lucky 7. This 7 is a perk with each shot fires 7 projectiles which is amazing, super brutal and one I wish I could roll every single time. Now I figured out that using a luck artifact with this weapon does seem to improve the chance of landing perks on a reload. Now this thing goes really from a standard weapon to randomly turning into one of the most powerful in the game. If you roll Lucky 7, full auto and Crit on the same reload, this thing is on another level DPS and damage output wise. It's actually quite scary, the problem is they don't roll that often together. Now I've used this since the Moxies DLC was dropped and it really hasn't left my inventory. I've only tried to get better variants to be honest. Now it's primary drop source is Scrap, Trap, Prime, Ponder, Conductor and the handsome jackpot but it can drop everywhere else from any other enemy aboard the handsome jackpot. So yeah guys this is number 2 on my list, actually a close number 2, this could have scraped number 1. So guys, my favourite pistol in the game so far and probably one that won't come as a surprise to many people in the game and that is the Maggi, Jacob's wife. This beast, a pistol which basically is the Lucky 7 with the Lucky 7 perk activated 100% at the time. Now this is a pistol I've seen many people's status overrated, it's a pistol I've seen people's status overpowered, I've seen people's status utterly garbage, I've seen people say all kinds of things. But I've lately seen many, many people start using and big this weapon up, I mean I don't get it, it's always been great while all of a sudden other people just realising. Now you true Maggi fans will have known since day 1 just how much of a beast this thing is. Now this Maggi I know has a dedicated drop boss but it is also a world drop too, just pretty rare. A dedicated boss drop on this thing is the tremendous wrecks within the system of slaughter. Now this is a weapon again on paper, stats don't look that great at all, minus accuracy and minus weapon damage. I will mention though the damage handling accuracy numbers you see are based with the minus stats we do see here by the way so if you see a weapon which has minus 50% weapon damage the damage number you are seeing has already applied that minus as far as I'm aware. But seriously people the Maggi is an awesome beast, although it doesn't offer any elemental damage type it's still in my opinion the best pistol this game offers right now. So yeah guys those are my top 5 pistols within Borderlands 3. So let's move on to unruly mentions, firstly the unforgiven, probably the most powerful pistol in the game on paper I feel this deserves a mention for the simple fact of the crit swap technique which just makes things super easy and it's probably the main reason many people leave this in their inventory. Another pistol I feel deserves a mention is the moonfire which arrived with the takedown on the Malouan Blacksite, a powerful unique pistol offering all elemental effects which will do you greatly. Another pistol I feel deserves a mention is something I actually don't see anybody talk about anymore and it's one I still love, it's called the Shocking AAA. This pistol is actually really really good one of the best weapons in this game in taking that enemy shield off. If someone out there has a build based on shock damage this one is for you 100% And lastly guys probably the first pistol I used and really liked the Rosen's Fauns, really my introduction into pistols within BR3 and to be honest it's still in my opinion underrated. No it isn't the best in the game but it's far from the worst and I feel this pistol could fit some of those elemental builds out there really nicely. But guys that is it.
