 Now with buffs being handed out here and there, the best weapons in the game always seem to be changing. The past top 5 and top 10 most OP weapons are now in reality outdated. Today I bring you what in my opinion are now April 2020's top 10 best weapons in the game. Has it gone guys? My name is DPJ and today I bring you another BR3 video. If you do enjoy it leaving a like really helps me out and subscribe if you do want to see more. But these weapons are what I use on Zayn and this is just my opinion, yours may differ as different things work in different ways with different vault hunters, but taking builds out of the equation I don't think many top 10's will be dissimilar to this, so let's get into it people. So in at number 10 we have nothing other than the legendary Cutsman SMG. Now this Cutsman SMG is a dedicated drop to Bormand Nates within the mood in outskirts and comes in incendiary, shock and corrosive and is to be honest a weapon which has always been incredible, one which I'm sure most would have hired in the top 5 best weapons. So from the get go this was one of the first weapons I covered and said back then that it was an OP weapon. We then got a buff to all Malouan weapons within September 27th's heart fix, which saw all Malouan weapons get a damage increase of 25% as well as a fire rate increase by 20%. This meant it didn't night the time effect due to it not being much of a popular weapon back then. We were all frustrated again, we were all still chasing other legendos. So what they were using when they actually got this thing was probably an already buffed weapon, and then on October 17th we saw the Cutsman get a damage nerf by 25%. So they took away the buff that they applied to this weapon within the previous September 27th heart fix, which in reality we did feel because this was a popular weapon when it got nerfed. But guys, still, until this day, the Cutsman is still a super powerful SMG which is also super unique in how it works, which in my opinion is what makes it so good. The slow travelling projectiles which spread and covered a wider ground means that this is not only stupid good for ag controller aid distance, but also is amazing for bosses because it makes for an easy method of hitting them as you don't really have to be so accurate with aiming. Because these projectiles do spread, they seem to always catch that target. And it's a weapon we often see people using farming bosses and so forth, and I can't blame them. I mean I can't tell you how many Walton like fast kills I've seen where people are using this weapon. And it's why it is at my number 10 spot. But in reality I think it's a weapon I don't really need to talk about more because I think everybody already knows about this thing. Okay, so we're going to move on and in at number 9 we have the Q system. Now the Q system for those that don't know isn't even a legendary weapon. It's an epic weapon and epic Atlas assault rifle, which in the mind of many is a low budget carrier, just in the way this looks by the way, not in the way it performs. The thing about this weapon though is the fact of how powerful this thing is considering the weapon itself. The fact that now at a level 57 these can drop quite often with 4k damage per shot as we see it's a 2 times variant, but it doesn't consume 2 bullets per shot. This means with a magazine size of 20 or say 30 you can deal 120,000 per clip. Now this is without any build which draws in extra damage either, which if you think about it is a crazy high damage number for a weapon which has amazing handling, accuracy, unlimited range and many many more benefits. And equals out into a weapon which in my opinion is probably the 2nd or 3rd best and most powerful assault rifle in this game, it is a true monster, but the Q system is a world drop by the way and it's quite often seen moving that slow shaft. Okay so we're going to move on and in at number 8 we have nothing other than the latest addition to the CLV family and that is the Hydro 1st pistol. Now upon me first using this I was literally gobsmacked at how well this thing performed. Even within a build and setup which didn't make the most out of it, I for sure thought this thing was on the OP side. Now as you probably know after a kill every second shot deals 200% shock or incendiary damage and what this results in is a weapon with one of the highest DPS stack values in this game, it truly is that crazy. Now when you add your build to this damage becomes just stupid and what you also have to remember is the fact that this is just a pistol, even though it performs like an SMG it is a pistol and while taking that into account that's its weapons only downfall. Because it is a pistol its ammo is limited and only that near 2-3rds of what an SMG would offer in this game. And really people? That's why it's number 8 on my list, I mean if this thing could work for a longer period of time, I don't think it would ever have to change a weapon, I mean it basically already fires 3 different elements at the same time for a starter. Add onto that it's great fire rate too, it truly does almost outgun anything this game can offer. And I'll put it into this perspective, the Q system which we just covered is crazy powerful with 4k plus per shot. This thing has 3 times its fire rate and does just about over 3k per shot, although it does consume more ammo it still deals that damage at a much much quicker rate and this doesn't include the additional damage generated after a kill where we get that 200 bonus every second shot. So you can see what I mean by how this thing is actually crazy capable of that DPS and that's why it is on this list people. Again if its overall ammo capacity was bigger this would probably be top 5. Ok so we're going to move on and in at number 7 we have nothing other than the Krikatoa Maliwan Sniper rifle. Now I will be honest with you, I ain't much of a sniper kind of player. There are the odd ones I do enjoy, mainly the wedding invitation, the hellfire, the unseen threat and probably a few other usual suspects. But for me there's just something about this Krikatoa which makes me choose it over the others. It could just be its capable DPS and it being way more apparent than other snipers in the game. I mean the closest sniper to this damage wise on paper is the school masher. But that is seriously let down by its magazine size, I mean you're constantly reloading. As an actual fact the school masher does do close to 15k damage within most variants. Well it shoots slower and like I said it's let down by its magazine size normally around that 4. Taking this into account and we see a much much higher DPS with the Krikatoa and this monster isn't far behind with around 4 ink damage on most variants. Well it shoots much much quicker, has a much much bigger magazine size and if you build up correctly around this is the ultimate boss killing machine tool for sure. Now the Krikatoa is a dedicated drop to the rampager upon the forgotten the silica. Well it wasn't always a super powerful weapon, this thing received a damage buff, but this thing damaged that value going from a 1 to a 4.25 which I think is one of the biggest damage increases we've seen applied to any weapon across these games hotfixes. From the moment we heard about this hotfix most players jumped onto this weapon tried it out and we've never looked back, for me it never leaves my load out. So yet like I said this thing drops from the rampager go get this thing you will not be disappointed. Ok so we're going to move on and in at number 6 we have nothing other than the Hellshock pistol. This is a Malawan weapon which hits like a truck, it drops from Gigamon upon the Meridian Metroplex and in my opinion is 100% worth your time getting your hands on. Now I actually not long just tested this thing after it received a buff not too long ago via a hotfix and to be honest I was a little disappointed with myself for not realising about this weapon sooner. So what this Hellshock does is quite simple, it can switch between incendiary and shock and bullets ricocheted element not selected so if you're in that shock mould your ricocheted shots would shoot in that incendiary and vice versa. But in reality this is only about 120th of the story with this weapon because this thing is utterly stupid in terms of damage, output and DPS. So we just covered the Hydrofrost which we saw was an incredible weapon while the Hellshock is kind of what you'd want as a next step up from the Hydrofrost, I mean the negatives of the Hydrofrost they ain't here with this, it's more powerful on paper in terms of doing almost 1k extra damage over standard damage outputs, it doesn't consume 2, 3 or even 4 ammo per shot and also doesn't overheat and break at random intervals. So what we are left with here people is a pistol which acts like an SMG, it's basically more powerful than any SMG or pistol in the game, it's super easy to obtain and it will do all the jobs you need from a weapon within this game. So the Hellshock guys, if you don't have this thing and have never used it, go grab it, you will not be disappointed, in fact I could probably bet like it did with me it would surprise you. Ok so we are going to move on to the next stop and in at number 5 on my list is the Clare Voyance. Now this J-Crubs assault rifle is honestly just amazing and it arrived with the latest DLC of Guns, Love and Tentacles and is a dedicated drop from the boss of Critchy who is found upon Curse, Haven. Dropping only after in trial but with many different variants, this thing's prior trick is Critchart's Decay Projectile which later explodes and ricochets another bullet to a nearby enemy, so in reality Critchart's deal of 300% damage. Having certain damage anointments can double this easily and the results are just basically stupidity considering this isn't a assault rifle. While I say a assault rifle it's a lot more like a sniper in terms of how it performs, it's basically the best of both worlds. Now upon me first getting my hands on this and trying it out I brought Grave Ward to a point of me only ever being able to do this with snipers. If you deal that much damage in such a short amount of time shooting his hand it freezes it in place. Again this is something I've only been able to achieve on snipers like the Cricketower and the Wedding Invitation. That's how crazy this assault rifle is. Now don't be mistaken this is also an incredible weapon in controlling those adds too and for sure it holds it's own in places like the Malouan Raid, the Salora Shaft and anywhere else, quite easily for that matter and it doesn't matter the size of the enemy you're facing. So what we have here guys is the second best assault rifle in the game but the best acting assault rifle in the game if you know what I mean and that's because next up on my list and in at number 4 is nothing other than the Sickle. Now the Sickle is a weapon which drew up from the Warden upon the Anvil and Eden 6 and comes off in all elements or none and is a weapon which itself wasn't too long ago under the receiving end of a damaged buff which happened on March 5th taking its damage that value from a 1.5 to a 2.5 and it's under barrel damage from a 1.5 to a 3.5 so quite the increase there and what this actually results in people is this ladder for assault rifle actually being the best assault rifle in the game and the third best shotgun in the game because that's how this thing acts. What's even greater about this is the fact we see has the ammo capacity of those assault rifles too so you rarely run out and you can use this thing for all scenarios. Now damage on paper we can see these are 10 times variants and these ain't a hundred times 10 these ain't 500 times 10 these are in those thousands the best I have right now is a 3,375 times 10 and this is per single shot people with a magazine size of 12 consuming two per shot at the same time each shot delivering over 33k damage each shot that's without anointments class mods artifacts builds anything that's just standard damage and like I said these come in all variants offering all elements I mean one could ask what more do you need and to be honest there isn't much more you should need with weapons higher on this list are either there because they offer something nothing else offers or because they're straight-up OP but yes on a serious note there isn't much in this game that can stand tall to tall with the sequel yeah for sure there's probably a few weapons better for more scenarios the game trucks at you but it certainly will not let you down anytime soon just don't stand too close to a target when firing the think okay so we're gonna move on guys and next up on my list and in at number three we have the redistributor SMG so this SMG drops from the Maliwan raid from either the Valkyrie squad or Walton and it can come offering any element to now looking at this thing on paper it isn't that powerful and in reality when you compare it against any other SMG for single target damage to be honest I probably wouldn't put it in a top 20 where this thing actually stands out is in a factor where it's top of the game and that is against groups of enemies mobbing whatever you want to call it there's nothing in this game that can touches and it's because of its pie trick and that is every seven shots is amped amped shots chain to nearby enemies and it says chain in shots which is why this thing just out does all in terms of DPS over mobs of enemies you will certainly notice when an enemy is near that target you are shooting because his health will start to drain by tenfold it is that crazy and it makes for clearing our ads like nothing you will find in this game raid slaughter shaft whatever and it's got to a point now where 90% of people have at least one of these within their build and I don't blame them and until another weapon enters a loophole which does what this does it will be a weapon people keep chasing on my the extra levels they keep adding until the game so yes this redistributor although not too easy to obtain it's worth that grind for sure okay so we're going to move on and next up on my list and in at number two is the love shotgun now this love comes with all elements and is a dedicated drop it belongs to grave ward who as we know is more or less an easy farm right now I will say though for me these seem to be quite rare from him and I do see them drop way more just doing those general things so in reality I think these will find you quicker than you will find them now you might not know this but their lab has been buffed and nerfed quite a few times already and it started on October 10th 2019 where the loves projectiles tick damage went up by 42% and its projectile speed reduced so those takes laid down more damage still after this buff it was overshadowed by better weapons in the game there's no to which way is about it we then jump into February 27th this year we saw the love receive a crazy damage buff which made it the best weapon in the game there's no to which way is about it it was the best weapon in the game where they increased its magazine size from 4 to 12 greatly increased damage per tick and it then fired three orbs instead of one or doing tick damage the results were a weapon which in the minds of many was stupid OP it was crazy silly how powerful it was but we went along with it and abused its power gearbox clocked on to this and then nerfed it again well I say nerfed in my opinion what they did was make it perfect on April 2nd they reduced those orbs back down to a 1 but increased its fire rate this patch to the lab took it from a place of being stupid OP and in turn made it a more balanced weapon but keeping that characteristic we quickly grew to love in being if you stand in front of this thing you are dying oh yes it definitely kept that and that's why people is at my number 2 on this list the lab is still a crazy weapon and one I feel everyone should be using and making the most out of it this thing will 100% add to your build it won't let you down and if you're struggling with any aspect of this game this will take many of those struggles away for sure okay so we're going to move on and in at number one and to me easily the most powerful weapon in this game probably the most powerful weapon this game has ever had and it's a weapon many people feel a nerf will eventually come to is nothing other than the anarchy now after having early access to the DLC of guns love and tentacles I do believe I was the first one to cover this thing on YouTube and its power since many have picked up on this thing and more tests have been done and actually what this thing is capable of now firstly this is exclusive to the guns love and tentacles DLC and I do believe it's a world true up upon xylagos it's not by all means area item though and using the many farms I have covered on my channel you should come across it quickly those farms I will link within a video description so the anarchy on paper we see is quite powerful I've seen all kinds of variants from a 12 times to a 20 times it also by the way comes in all elements or none at all and it's part of trick is every automatic reload so letting the weapon reload itself on an empty clip or kills grant a 30% damage bonus or reduces accuracy this stacks 10 times so on paper you'd think this stacks up to 300% actually guys that's wrong that's completely wrong times this by four and no closer to the truth because this thing stacks way way higher because that 30% damage increase you get after the automatic reload or kill affects the damage you already have stacked from the previous reload and this results in after 10 stacks of a damage bonus of 1278 and I will say a massive shout to Z Karma for working that out but this is how this weapon works those stacks those 30% damage stacks total out in over 1250% damage over that standard damage output and when you put this into a build to set up the extra damage with the right annoyments and so forth what we actually have here is by far the most powerful weapon in this game and it more or less means nothing else is needed I have seen the Maliwan Raid running supersonic speed with this thing like sub nine or eight minutes and that's just only this thing I have seen Grave would be more or less one shot with this I've seen many things that tell me what I myself am repeating right now the anarchy is just crazy powerful and reality guys I know some people will get a bit pissy about mentioning it but this thing is getting a nerf it 100% is I don't want to see it you don't want to see it gearbox don't even have to witness it I'm sure they have numbers blowing up their servers with how much this thing is being spammed out and to be honest with you it kind of does need it much like the love did I just hope the changes they make to it though will balance it out much like we saw it a lot because you guys remember the flacker yeah I didn't think so it used to be an incredible weapon but now it's terrible I just hope that don't happen to this but yeah people those are my top 10 weapons with the anarchy the clear winner now if there is a weapon on this list you are struggling to get maybe a certain variant of it you can always join my discord linked within that video description I have dedicated trading sections and much much more for each platform so come and join in but yeah guys these are my top 10 best weapons in this game right now Borderlands 3 if you enjoyed the video leaving a like really
