If you're familiar with the Borderlands games, then you'll know that it always has an abundance of guns to collect. So as you'd expect, Borderlands 3 keeps in line with this tradition and has even exceeded the number of guns available compared to previous games. Whether you earn them from side missions or they're dropped by a Maliwan soldier, you're rarely going to experience a shortage of loot. In the face of patch fixes and changes to the game, one thing that never changes is the plentiful supply of guns. There's really so much, and with the upcoming Bloody Harvest DLC finally detailed, we know even more guns are on the way.

Many of the cool guns in Borderlands 3 are your basic assault rifle, pistol, or shotgun with a cool paint job while others offer way more over-the-top functionality. The team at GameSpot has sunk dozens of hours into the game so far and have discovered plenty of guns from brands DAHL, Hyperion, XOV, Vladof, Torgue, Maliwan, Atlas, and Tediore in our respective playthroughs. Below you can find some the wildest top-tier guns we've found across the higher-tier Rare (Blue), Very Rare (Purple), Legendary (Orange) categories, as well as details on their stats and other peculiarities.

In our Borderlands 3 review, critic Jordan Ramee gave the game an 8/10 and said, "Borderlands 3 has a few stumbling blocks when it comes to bosses, but these fights are overshadowed by the game's rewarding gunplay and over-the-top humor. The game's character-driven narrative acts as a satisfying finale for the loot-shooter franchise, and the new mechanics and features--especially the reworked skill trees and weapon manufacturer effects--give you plenty of agency in how you want to play through it. If you've never been a fan of the franchise, it's unlikely Borderlands 3 does enough things differently to change your mind, as the game best excels at continuing what the series has always done: deliver a humorous tall tale of misfits looting and shooting their way to heroism."
