What is Borderlands 2's Best and Worst Gun and Weapon Manufacturer  

I like playing Sniper Zero and I love Jacobs snipers. Something about one shot one kill seems so satisfying. In Borderlands 1 Marcus had a saying: "If you took more than one shot, you weren't using a Jacobs". I'll tell you that's for the most part true.

It's good to see that people still play bl2 like it came out yesterday

Personally, I can't stand anything made by Tediore. All the years of playing shooters have conditioned me to become a lean, mean, obsessive-compulsive reloading machine.

The best manufacturer can be summed up by one question and one question only. EXPLOSIONS?!

jakobs non elemental *uses elemental jakobs unique shotgun*

Tediore : for those who are obsessed of reloading after shooting 1 shot Vladof: for the russian experience Bandit : for those who like to keep shooting and not reloading Hyperion: for those who are obsessed with handsome jacks products Maliwan: you like to choose the proper weapons for a fight Jakobs: its high noon Dahl : you like burst sniper rifles Torgue : you like to blow up the ocean

Infinity pistol: I have infinite ammo! Tediore: Oh yea? We got infinite GUNS!

My favorite would have to be Maliwan, their SMGs and Snipers make the game for me.

you wanted to say how shitty bolt action snipers from jakobs are. i heard the hesitation

Dahl Rifels: WACK Jackobs Rifels: WACK Bandit Pistols: WACK Tourge Snipers: Hopefully in BL3

Maliwan is personally one brand I love, sleek looking, good damage, and just an overall great brand.

8:20 the guy was flying LOL

I have to disagree with the assessment of Hyperion sniper rifles, because the way you described them isn't actually how they work. Rather than inverse recoil, Hyperion sniper rifles apply the effect to the sway when scoped, so if you WAIT a few seconds before firing your shot, it's almost guaranteed to go exactly where you aim it. This makes them extremely effective for picking off enemies one by one at long range, but I will say that at medium range you're better off with a Jakobs, Maliwan, or Vladof depending on the situation.

Just give me a Jakob's revolver and I'll be fine

As an Anarchist Gaige player: Jacobs: the ultradamage is epic when you manage to hit the crits Vladof: shoot your whole backpack to send enemies to the grave and you to the ammo vending machine Tediore: Don't accidentally reload, don't accidentally reload! Dalh: I've missed my burst again Maliwan: While you miss they get cooked, awersome synergy Torgue: No bullet... no ricochet...? Bandit: I wonder how many extra stacks I would have if was reloading more often Hyperion: *pukes on the keyboard due to motion sickness*

The best thing in puma videos... I don't understand anything but goddamn are they enjoyable

WHEN YOU EXPLAIN TORGUE WEAPONS YOU SHOULD BE SHOUTING! Anyway my favourite type in general is Vladof.

I love vladof assault rifles, but assault rifles kinda suck sadly.

You're missing an important detail and a reason I love Hyperion snipers: their negative recoil kicks in by scoping in for a moment. If you just scope in for a second or so then you have maximum accuracy and because of the way they work you now have effectively zero recoil, meaning it's now super easy to go on headshot sprees and clear out an entire room without waiting on your gun

You wanna know the best manufacture is in the game il give you a hint EXPLOSIVE SHOTGUNS (badass guitar)

Personal list: 1. Hyperion - for smgs and shotguns and sometimes pistols. 2. Jakobs - mostly for pistols 3. Maliwan - snipers and smgs. 4. Torgue - usually pistols 5. Dhal - whatever's good 6. Vladof - don't use much. 7. Tediore - don't use much. 8. Bandit - usually only shotguns or launchers.

*Says Jacobs doesn't make elemental weapons 99% of the time. In video, switches to an elemental Jacobs shotgun*.

I JUST GOT A LEGIT SLAP CHOP ADVERT, FOR THAT REASON THIS IS MY FAVOURITE VIDEO

I know this is an older (based on perspective) video, but I've seen a number of your videos, and I appreciate the content you produce. I've loved this game for a long time, but for reasons, haven't been able to play it as much. I'm restarting for the umpteenth time in normal mode, and as someone who has played the game enough to know, but not been able to progress to the OP levels, I want to thank you for your help. I appreciate your style of delivery, your inclusive range of subjects (for all levels), your professional disposition, and your content as a whole, as I have experienced it. I would like to thank you, and wish you much success in your future endeavors. :)

Torgue shotguns are the best. The explosive shotguns are amazing

I love the different gun manufacturers for different gun types. I love jakobs for their pistols, where they have instant fire upon click (for pc), but the bolt-action snipers they make take way too long to reload, at the cost of pretty high damage.

Keep up the good content Puma! I love Borderlands and you consistently push out videos for it. Thanks man!

Do the top fun weapons in BL2.

The best in my opinion is Maliwan

Maliwan: high elemental damage/chance Jakobs: high damage, crit damage and good fire rate Hyperion: high accuracy Torgue: EXPLOSIONS tediore: YEET vladof: high fire rate Bandit: high ammo capacity Dahl: burst fire when aiming In my opinion Best: jakobs and Hyperion Worst: bandit

Love your videos man I like how your intro is short and simple as well.

Love the videos, keep up the great work

My personal favorites are Maliwan and Jakob's, Maliwan has great damage potential and also the DOT effects from them can actually be useful for regenerating. While Jakob's just has an absurd amount of damage potential.

Hopefully S&S Munitions makes a comeback in BL3! Also, bring back the Glorious Havocs!

keep up the great work man! love your vids

My favourite is probably Maliwan. Apart from the weapons you listed, they also made the magnificient Magic Missile grenade mod. Their weapons look fantastic, their sniper scopes are the best and the "Snider" Rifles are so much fun to use

I find Jakobs Assault Rifles to be less Assault and more Rifle, if anything. Underwhelming on DPS, but great for controlling your aim. Kind of like Hyperion's reverse-recoil and Dahl's scoped-burst-fire, Jakobs Assault Rifles should be treated with a different mindset (think of treating them like Sniper Rifles with less effective range and more carried and/or loaded Ammo). I lucked into a Hammer Buster from a random Loot Midget that carried my Axton file for most of the mid-to-late story (and greatly trained my shot timing for Critical Hit spots).

Maliwan Needs To Be On the list to, but I agree hyperion and vladolf are amazing. (Norfleet, magic missle, grognozzle, chain lightning, rubi, volcano, hellfire, amd more

FYI. You make amazing videos. Thanks for all of your knowledge, it is extremely appreciated.

Loved watching you realize that bandit floating above you during the Maliwan section.

My personal list is Maliwan Hyperion Vladof Tediore Jakob's Dahl Tourge Bandit I think bandit and Jakob's are my favorite but it just feels like they are underwhelming and inconsistent with their non uniques. Maliwan is my #1 for the sole reason of moxxi. End game bl2 almost requires a grog or some kind of moxxi weapon and all though there are some from other manufactures maliwan just seems to have the best, along with the God teir norfleet and fotfh and antagonist shields maliwan just feels so great. I also feel like tediore shouldn't even be compared to the rest of the guns due to being more like explosive tomahawks than guns and can either be op on axton or kreig or a boat load of ass like a gaige

I do find that torgues weapons are pretty good at early levels, when you don't get many legendary or elemental weapons - they can deal decently high damage and when you don't have better elemental they're pretty solid. That said, they are outdone in late game by many weapons, and don't last very long in early leveling.

really like your style in this specific video tbh, like without this forced screaming and AYYIIISSS every 2 seconds it seems to be way more organized

Nice Video Puma :3 keep doing the great work ;)

Hyperion is a good choice. I might choose Maliwan because of their pistols and sniper rifles. Funny thing is is that I don't look for Hyperion parts on my weapons.

My favorite manufacturer is Dahl, cuz I just love burst fire

your my favorite you tuber because you make videos on borderlands and fall out some of my favorite games

I love the Hyperion shotguns especially with SLAG and using Salvador with a high fire rate SMG is quite something to try out if you wanna see alot of damage . I hate Torgue weapons I absolutely never use them unless I get 1 from right at the start of a new character . Great video even though years ahead now I still love watching old BL2 videos and I still love playing BL2 who's here in 2022 ?

top 10 doors please

As a semi casual player who's played through the game countless times, my personal tier list is 1. Jacob's, very powerful and reliable for fight for your life. My personal favorite and I think you should always take any quality gun (excluding ARs, as they can be lackluster at times.) 2.hyperion, good chip damage and very accurate, nice side arm for sniping or good sniping 3.Torgue, once again good for fight for your life, and while I personally hate using explosive weapons, their power is undeniable 4.maliwan,these guns are best used for utility. If it's not a launcher or SMG, I would recommend staying away unless it's extremely good. 5.Tediore, these guns are solid in the early game, but they tend to be underwhelming late game. From personal experience, if it's not a shotgun or a quality launcher, it's not worth it. 6. Bandit/scav, I personally love these guns early game,but like tourge, I wont deny they suck, as their only real highlights are high ammo cap pistols.Shotguns, and launchers. The ARs are quite the tradeoff, as they dont tend to do enough damage,have horrible accuracy,and bad reload speed. 7.Vladof,this is ranked low only because of my inexperience with the guns, and I will say I have a love for their smgs, and only their smgs. 8.Dahl, I hate the burst fire function, especially with ars and snipers. Their weapons either dont do enough damage or do too much and the burst is uneeded. I probably missed one, but I will update until I'm sure

This was a good video keep it up

Yay! New Puma video! :D

The ones I don't like: Bandit, Tedior, and Hyperion The ones I do like: Jakobs and Vladof Inbetween: Torgue and Maliwan

Hyperion hates my Maya. I never got any elemental weapon from that company.

The Thre Dog is the only Bandit weapon I've ever used for a decent period of time. It was a lifesaver early on in Frostburn Canyon with several characters.

I've only used it in the community balance patch but the Storm from Maliwan is a gun I used for almost 20 levels before replacing it. It seemed to be very overpower on my Gaige.

I'm a big Krieg player, so my personal bests pretty much have to be Maliwan and Torgue. Least favorite is obviously Jakobs since there are very few elemental Jakobs weapons. From an objective standpoint I would say that in a group scenario as I usually play, Jakobs is still my least favorite, with Bandit beating it out for one gun variety in particular: the Bandit slag SMG. Jakobs single action on basically everything tends to annoy me personally and I am rarely the sniper in my friends group. Meanwhile the Bandit slag SMGs with decent parts provides very consistent slagging for massively extended periods of time due to the mag size. Vladof actually takes my top spot for personal enjoyment because of the bane of everyone's existence, that being spiniguns. Nothing to me feels better than walking into a fight and watching the barrel spin up before throwing a veritable torrent of lead at whatever happens to be in front of me. Are they better than other barrel types? Nope, but they're fun. I also really enjoy the Anarchist pistol.

"they're usually hit or miss" But I guess they never miss, huh?

I find that Dahl is my favorite weapons manufacturer. I really like the low recoil with the burst fire it's really good for accuracy. However as for their snipers it's kinda difficult for me to decide if I like it or hate it. I like the burst fire rate because I like being versatility. I'm able to snipe at a distance, while if an enemy is running towards me, I'm able to take it out as well. This is my opinion of course, and I always play as Zer0 or as Mordecai. In other words I usually play as a sniper class. My favorite sniper rifle from BorderLands 2 is the Night Terror. I find it does the damage that I want and has great accuracy. I prefer it as a corrosive element because it's easy to take out Loaders and Buzzards with it.

one thing i like about the explosive handguns is that once ur adjusted and u know u cant fire 'straight lines' at enemies more than 50ft away u can predict the 'arc of the bullet fired and ive had some cool blind kills hitting headshots but 'lobbing/arcing' an explosive pistol round over their cover etc

To be honest every manufacture is great on each weapon even though they have flaws. Honestly it's hard for me to picking one cause they all have uses in some ways. Favorite: Vladof, really like fast fire rate on weapon's. Best: Maliwan, with the gun elements you are unstoppable examples like the Norfleet. Worst: Bandit, although their rocket launchers are great the others are kind of point less in capacity.

"Chère Amie" is pronounced Sherr-Amie not sherry amie

i agree that bandit weapons usually get surpassed by just about everything with notable exceptions such as the the slagga or the tattler but for the best manufacturer i would personally say maliwan as they can deal some insane damage over time especially a snider

Vladof, Tediore, and Jakobs are my favorites, with special mentions to Maliwan.

Haha. "Bandit is limited to" then lists everything but sniper rifles

I can't stand Dahl. They feel terrible to use.

He could've mentioned something about shields too, since he mentioned some of the manufactor's grenades at first. And just like weapons they make, they also really make a great grenade mods and shields too.

If you can find a way, either through skills or relics, to lessen the downsides of bandit weapons they can actually be pretty good. Most of them have +damage for a lot of their parts. Axton is really good with them. Might do a bandit run with him.

There isn't such thing like best and worst manufacturer. Every single manufacturer has its own pluses and minuses. Every manufacturer has its own special items which makes them worth using. Also sometimes is better to mix parts on certain weapons or items to have better results than matching parts to manufacturer.

I am classy guy,I like hand made weapons and I have no time to waste. What can I say I am a Jacob's guy.

The weapons you're using are just amazing.

The Room Clener (triple barreled shotgun) if spawns with fire or shock and a foregrip is just pure awesome.

I don't like Hyperion, their snipers are horrible, their pistols are mediocre at best, their shields are bad. The only exceptional thing about them are shotguns. For me Jakobs is the thing, they're very reliable, have good damage and you don't need to worry about matching elements.

You know you're early when it's 360p...

My use for the dahlminator is to take out the buzzards in sawtooth cauldron in nvhm and tvhm. Depending on the build, it sometimes works in uvhm

VinylicPuma last night i go a DP Unkempt Harorld. I bout it from the torge gun shop.

"Tediore e-tech rocket launchers are kinda bad to me" Obviously hasn't played javelin krieg

I'm only getting 360p on mobile

I definitely wasn't expecting Vladdof to be on that end of the scale

Torgue was my favorite while I was playing as Axton. Their shotguns and rifles were to die for.

Did they really removed Atlas weapons???

I'm a Jakobs man for life

I really like the bandit overkill on sal for mobbing it’s really good I’d suggest picking up one if you see it but don’t bother if it isn’t in fire or corrosive

My two favorites are Jakobs and Maliwan, im simply in love with the coach gun and moxxi guns as a krieg player

2:55 i guess they never miss, huh?

*says Jakob's is usually non elemental shows an elemental jakobs*

My level 50 Incindiery Tactical Sawbar on Krieg got me through sooooooo much. Probably my favourite Borderlands gun to date.

It depends on the character you picked, like Torque guns are usually considered the worse for Maya but top picks for Axton or Gaige.

Best- Vladof Worst- Bandit let's see if my predictions are correct..

The Tunguska is actually pretty good. You just have to know how to use it.

eridian rockets launchers had a gimmick that if you shoot them at the sky the shots would multiply a lot and start raining down, especially with bandit ones sincw they shot more orb per shot

I love dahl because i play maya with a bee shield. The humongous number of quick unlisted projectiles they fire paired with a bee shield and some of mayas skills and class mods (cat coms, and cleric coms) while going for critical hits make maya an absolute damage machine

I thought Hyperion snipers got more accurate as you stayed zoomed as well. I could be wrong about this, but I thought I remembered that being the case.

I disagree, banit shotguns like the oberkill and room cleaner are great.

Love the Dahl e tech plasma casters

I'm kinda surprised that you didn't include weapons from Borderlands TPS as well.

For me it’d have to be 1. Vladof 2. Dahl 3. Torgue 4. Hyperion 5. Maliwan 6.Jakobs 7. Bandit 8. Tediore I can’t recall a time where I used a Tediore weapon because I liked it ever. I love Hyperion Shotguns. I love Vladof snipers. I love Dahl Pistols and SMG’s. I love Torgue AR’s. I love Dahl simply for the accuracy and being able to get like 3-4 headshots in less than a second with a burst. I don’t like the long reloads for Jakobs and the non-elemental. I don’t like trying to wrestle with Jakobs recoil either. Bandit sucks because I don’t need the massive magazine. It’s not hard to find cover to reload for a second, and considering how bad it’s weapons are because of the mag size, you might not kill all of the enemies before needing a long ass 5 second reload anyhow.

Best: Maliwan Worst: Torgue Maliwan weapons are all really accurate and elemental while still looking awesome while Torgue weapons are inaccurate and only explode and look like giant warning signs or weapons that look like they're used by nuclear test dummies

The lady fist is really good for starters cuz it's really easy to get and it's fun in general to shoot

I usually stay away from tedior guns because I have a habit of reloading to often and that makes me run out of ammo way too fast.
