Borderlands 2, while old, is still one of the most content-filled games today. The amount of secret weapons we can get is endless, and their effects make them all feel pretty cool with different mechanics. Farming weapons and getting the right pre-fix can take hours in itself, extending the amount of time you’ll end up playing BL2.
The only problem with this is that the game never tells you where or how to get them, so players must resort to guides. Therefore, in this guide, we have prepared what we consider to be the best weapons in Borderlands 2, so that the next time you start the game, you know where to farm them.
