As a Moze main Vladof is my favourite weapon manufacturer. Bottomless Mags Moze running around going Brrrr and never reloading is so much fun, then add the mind sweeper you can delete anything on screen from existence in a bloody mess.
Trivia: The White Death was changed to Lyuda because I bet Gearbox found out the White Death (or the sniper who got that nickname) was a sniper who wacked +500 Soviets during a 6 month ongoing war between Finland and Soviet Russia.
Lyudmilla Pavlichenko did the same thing but for the Soviets whopping +300 Germans in WW II. Which would better suit the Russian Vladof theme which also revolves around all those weapons using Nadsat. Which was some language spoken in A Clockwork Orange. Where "Razrez" refers to sharp or cutting and "zammechat" to amazing. )
"zammechat" is not amazing tho. It is the verb that means to spot. Amazing is "zamechatelniy"
Rockets, bullets, fists and frags
Vladof's army's got the mags
If you miss in Ursa Corps
Just shoot and shoot and shoot some more!
I think my favourite Vladof gun is Septimus Prime. Not because it's stronger than the others, but because it's fun to shoot.
The hefty sound, making it sound like a proper machine gun, as well as the occasional "orbital strike" is just entertainment all round.
The strongest Vladof weapon in the series is the Iron Bear.
Also, the Topneaa from BL2 deserves at least an honorable mention.
True
Lead and iron by the ton
No-one's got a bigger gun
Who needs rifles, who needs ranks
When you've got a walking tank?
The Backburner also hilariously does friendly fire...which can be put to good use. Have someone play Zane and give the clone a Backburner, and so long as everyone's wearing a Transformer you can just chill in the lightning and be immortal.
Thats sick gonna have to have some fun with that
Sad the Faisor wasnt on this list, the under barrel shotgun goes crazy and in normal assault rifle mode its still pretty good.
So I got pretty mad when I saw the light show wasn’t number 1. I was racking my brain trying to figure out what other gun would be better. For some reason I completely forgot the back burner was vladof.
No love for the faisor is unforgivable.
I wanted to include it but I knew I needed some BL2 on the list or else people would riot. I should have made it an honorable mention thoigh
"Vladof. You don't need to be a better shot, you just need to shoot more bullets!"
*boolets
Killer6 you showed much respect to all , the company, CZcamsrs (morning after kill) , the fans , easy going with all , much respect to you man.
I like what they did in 3 with the firing attachments. Maybe the explosive ones most like zip rockets and grenade launcher but they are all pretty fun to play around. Alien barrel ones too
Not a launcher fan so for me Light Show, Lucian's Call and Boom Sickle are my favorites. One of my favorite ways of going to m11 once I hit max level is to farm Dinklebot and hope for both a Butcher and a Lucian's Call, makes farming other weapons much easier.
Shout out to the Blast Hammer from Borderlands 1, rapid fire Vladof Shotgun with a spread shaped like a hammer! Absolutely slapped!
Getting a Vermi to drop the Norfleet also requires you to get Vermi to spawn, which can be monotonous. Almost as bad as the twister farm with triple O.
Vladof is honestly one of my favorite manufacturers tbh, it's always fun to just hold down a trigger and watch as whatever stands in front of you turn to a fine red mist.
Also man I wish The Machine was in bl3, sure it would be busted but that's not really hard to do in bl3.
Only downside of these guns is the ammo...
5:55 it's been over ten years and K6 still doesn't know that Kunai do self damage. Incredible.
I do I just love explosions
W on the backburner. Its hilarious to kill my own teammates
Gotta love that light show that gun can do no wrong imo
The Lucian's Call is Perfection. 🙌
happy to see lucian’s call on your list. so much fun to shoot even if damage isn’t op.
I got 2 boom Sickles as world drops very recently, but never before that. I had one lucky day
I've loved using Vladof weapons across all BL games. I'd personally have the Lyuda higher, but it's still a great list.
The Rapier: I got to practice my stabbings
the slag chance on the rapier is sow low that I always just stick to ruby or grog
The Glorious Havoc would like a word.
Funny thing is, I just randomly got a world drop Boom Sickle yesterday.
Perfect timing. Just about to start a Zane Vladoff run.
Good list and love these kind of videos 👍
Glad you enjoyed!
Monarch with Zane can actually be pretty freakin savage if you use it strictly for use with the digiclone with double barrel. This is especially useful in M11, where the double barrel digivlone puts out berserk damage.
Vladof sniper rifles combined with Nisha's action skill, is an immediate death sentence for any enemy in your way.
I was looking for this video before you even posted it lmao
Love the videos as always if you getta chance I’d love to see some top ten video of the pre sequel ❤
Thanks!
I gotta say, my favorite Vladof weapon has to be the lightshow, i have 4 of them on my moze build
I love the Rocket Pod on Moze, just constant mortar strikes and crazy splash damage with Torgue Cross Promotion. Also like the Jericho because it let me troll my friends because it seems to cause friendly fire for some reason
If you save some diamond keys in your mail you can infinitely redeem them if you turn your network off
I loved the light show on my moze build. That gun carried me for 15-plus levels. I'm gonna have to go find me a boogeyman and a backburner now
In bl2 on console to farm mission rewards if you only want one you just save before you get it check parts and close app
gotta say the boom sickle and the monarch are my favorites, the monarch also just looks dope af
I think the Luda callout was a hat tip from Yoteslayas videos. He called it the Luda… ❤❤❤
I love a shock backburner with a Transformer shield. Amazing
BL2 Lyuda will always hold a special spot for me, but the backburner just clears maps. Fun list, thanks K6!
Pretty accurate list indeed! Although I'd bring boomsickle closer to the top due to its continuous (splash) DPS potential and common ammo resources.
Boogeyman & Boomsickle & Backburner & Monarch for a perfect 4-weapons roster!
and a light show
I gotta say I think my favorite VLADOF weapon in all of borderlands has to be the Hammer from BL1, always had a good time when I found one of those
The hammer from bl1 is my favorite vladof gun
with the Lyuda I think the one in 2 is strong, since you can just pick it up and wreck with it. In 3 on its own is weaker, but with all the different tools you get access to in 3 its way stronger. Lower floor higher ceiling, in 3.
Also as a Moze main I would've had Boogyman and Lightshow swapped, but still a great list!
I ended up with my Lucian’s call from the gun gun luckily
Always carried a rapier. The shreddifier should be top five. Also any purple vladof rifle or pistol in bl2 are good, especially while leveling.
Backburner is a surprise. I'd have put Kickcharger over it due to it being able to one shot bosses with very little setup. Backburner I just haven't seen do that ever. Mobbing, sure, bossing, nope.
Great list though. Always like learning about some of the guns from the older games that I haven't played recently (aside from the hunt haha)
to be honest, I've been watching ur vids for about 3 or 4 years, not sure. And I've seen lots of duplicated content but I still learn something new from them, its weird
I used to have a lot of fun with that shock Backburner and Transformer combo. I would walk right up to bosses like Eista or Captain Traunt and shoot at my feet. I couldn't see anything on the screen but massive explosion spam and the enemy's health bar being obliterated.
It's a shame that BL1 Vladof was kinda meh. Pretty much everything that they did well in that game was done better by S&S and Atlas.
Man i thought i had no videos to watch thanks to membership i can watch this video earlier than everyone else
Really u give a grown ass man money 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I would put the Light Show ahead of all because realistically you don't need a specific shield to us it. Of course a Revolter is nice but the Light Show is amazing.
Some of the most fun I’ve had in BL3 was using the bogeyman on Moze. The fun I had with it was more than worth farming arms race
Ok infinity with salvador and the chaotic evil monk >>
Lucian’s is my favorite on my Moze Main
Feels good seeing this early
If only Jakobs and Vladof would make a baby
Daaaamn, that's a lot of hot takes. Im surprised this is in my notifications on a monday morning
Hope you enjoy it anyhow
@@Ki11ersix Really surprised the Monarch is at the middle of the list. And your points are valid. Lately the Monarch has become a Fl4k only gun since the DLCs came out. And between which version of the Lyuda, id say Borderlands 3 with how much options to mitigate the ammo consumption there is. Surprisingly i thought you'd put the Lightshow as Number 1. but yeah the Backburner is king of getting you out of FFYL. That Launcher saved me a couple of times during my Base Game phase before i said "fuck it" and bought the DLCs during Christmas of 2021. All in all the list accurate as you take it into account all the other variables, stats and viability
Lie-Oooh-Duh
Nobody can convince me any different
So, "Lyuda" is short for "Lyudmila" which is a russian name. The "Lyu..." part is pronounced _sort of_ like "lju...".
That said, this is a game and it's not set in Russia. Pronounce it however you want.
Topneaa probably could've been a mention, even if it's not a unique weapon.
Vladof are my personal favorite manufacturers!
The Boom Sickle is insane.
I love how when i used the Longnail, it didn't do damage. . . When i used The Machine... i deleted EOS with Aurelia
Man it's so nice to see these videos earlier than everyone
Boogey man with moze is just my favourite. Get the annexed version and MMMMMMmm
I have to say that the BL2 Lyuda was better for me. While great in both games, in BL2 it was a must have for the balance of how easy it was to get and how good it was. In BL3 the Lyuda, like many other great guns, was easy to pass up. Simply due to how easy it was to get most of the high end weapons.
I don't generally really use Vladof weapons. Especially in BL3, but there are some exceptions. For example I really love The Machine(it's really, really fun on Aurelia and on bosses) and the Hail(in this case mostly the BL3 version, because it doesn't doesn't shoot that high like in previous games)
I miss reloading my infinity pistol on krieg
you gotta be careful with the transformer tip for moze- since she deals fire damage on her splash damage, she will actually down herself instead.
this worked in non mayhem for me to instantl regen shield using the shock backburner and the Lob but as I got to Mayhem 10/11, they just down moze instead.
Man, without seeing the thumbnail and before hitting play, I predicted 7/10 of these.
I'd disagree a bit on the Monarch with other characters. I use it on Zane (and moze/amara when I play them) for certain situations and it absolutely shreds--running around doesn't matter--corrosive vs. Wotan and Wendigo, fire vs. Psychoreaver, corrosive/fire vs. Hemo/Vermi or other small contained areas like the slaughter shaft. For general mobbing I use a soulrender or opq, but in those situations I mentioned it's great on all characters. In terms of my favorite, probably monarch or light show, though I also really liked the proletarian revolution in the pre sequel.
lucians CALL over the MONARCH!!!!!
To be Honest, I always preferred the Anarchist pistols over the Infinity in BL2
I was playing bl3 and got a lyuda from a vault card chest
I just can’t put anything above the Lightshow. It’s so easy to get, it’s so versatile. It’s not the best gun in BL3 (Plasma Coil!) but it’s definitely up there.
Even though this is off topic, I'd like to hear what you think of the carnage shotgun from BL2
It’s good on Axton and Krieg but otherwise I’m not really a fan of it
@@Ki11ersix since you've been playing pre sequel, what are your thoughts on the Barrigan Rocket Launcher from the end of the Holodome dlc?
I don’t even remember ever using it lol
@@Ki11ersix Beating the Holodome is extremely difficult, I needed a full party, for some reason Gearbox removed it from my inventory, and I have no idea why
You know what's funny? It was these top 10 vids you did that got me interested in your streaming channel. Now you stuck with with me like Herpes's. You will never get rid of me.
Mmmm herpes. Love ya dude
Excellent video, but i have one question...do you plan on ranking every Hyperion weapon from the entire franchise?
Yup
@@Ki11ersix excellent!!! Can't wait to see where Social Face Time goes on the list(if it makes it at all)!
End game only really liked the machine, mongol, glorious havok, topnea, cryo long nail, ion cannon, Lucian call is decent but play on mayhem 10 messes with the richochet the buddy system
The norfleet is ... hard to get! Pain to your soul!
Should do vladof non uniques *cough* topneaa
Tried the arms race once and just disliked everything about it. didnt know there was exclusive loot for it.
I like the mongol in BL3!
Wait the what?
How about The Chopper from Borderlands 1? Even though it drops at a marginal 5% from Motor Head, it's still a great weapon for Roland. Vladof legendary weapons were good from Borderlands 1, especially the enhanced edition.
Sadly I can only base these off of personal experience and I never even saw that gun
@@Ki11ersix if you kill Motor Head in Borderlands 1, it has the largest magazine size then any other manufacturer in the game, from 518 to 548, and just like the Chopper from Borderlands 2, it starts firing with one trigger pull, and it won't stop firing until you either melee or switch to another weapon. And it always drops as a purple rarity machine gun with a orange and black strip pattern on it. In the enhanced edition, Motorhead, just like other bosses ,drops random purple rarity items, and he drops a shield 100% of the time along with 2 random items, but if he drops the Chopper, he drops 4, including the Chopper.
I don't care what anyone says, my favorite will always be an elemental Boom Sickle (with some fire rate items), it sounds great, looks great, feels great, just the perfect Moze gun
I don't know what Pistol I had but it was a Wasp but not a rarity pistol but THAT pistol never ran out shot regular ammo but it slaughtered EVERYTHING! Sniff sniff lost the character hence lost the pistol and have not found it since and that was 9-10 months ago. I was just insane. Oh, it had a shoulder stock also.
The hornet maybe
While the infinity is great on Zer0, I feel it's all in all worse than Stinger, which imo should've been on the 10th spot and infinity moved to honorable mentions. The Rapier is another I don't really agree with since it is only good for melee. I think Kickcharger or Hail would've been better there. Also one launcher (the Berrigan from TPS) that I've only recently found to be pretty good should've imo made it to honorable mentions.
I should hire you as a script consultant Don.
@@Ki11ersix I mean at the end of the day it's subjective matter :D
Just did maliwan takedown with a vladof Amara build
I was convinced the monarch / light show would be No.1, but then again, this list was just a one big controversial take in the end lol
The backburner is a really powerful rocket launcher in the end though, personally just feel like the light show should be higher up due to the usefulness with all vault hunters
I have strong opinions on certain weapons
Having recently tried using Plaguebearer for the first time ever I was shocked by how it utterly obliterates even on Flak on a build that is far from optimal for Heavy weapons. Boi I'm scared/excited to see what it can do on Moze))) So to me Plaguebearer would probably be number one.
Also no Faisor in honorable mentions O______o
Also Ki11erSix with all respect but please man - Lyuda - is a name so Idk it's kinda a little disrespectful when you just say "whatever I'm gonna pronounce it the way I'm used to"... Not going to make a super big deal out of it of course - just wanted to share how a I feel about it.
Also for console dashboard quit the game without taking the mission weapon I did this for pimpernel and orphan maker
Fine… I’ll replay borderlands again…. Thanks 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wish the Manual Transmission was good enough to be on this list (unless you just don't include Wonderlands weapons). It's such a cool concept, but it just doesn't do enough damage...
Those are Stoker manufactured weapons. ;)
I'd swap rapier with a kickcharger anyday. rapier as a gun itself is impractical if it wasn't for that 200% melee attachment, which even is not useful to every other vault hunters in bl2, and not many players prefer melee zero for a long run because it gets boring eventually. other than that it's a solid list.
To pronounce Lyuda properly, you need to make L soft and pronounce yu as you
Shout out to the tapnea and moloko for non-uniques as well as the tmp/anarchist
Topnea is a tier
Pre-patch BL3 Lyuda was without a doubt better than BL2 and many of the weapons on this list imo.
No BL1 Blast hammer? RIP to my favorite vladof gun XD
I honestly don’t much like any BL1 weapons except the Double Anarchy and Hellfire
@@Ki11ersixyou should try an Unforgiven masher, it rips
Using a cryo backburner with zane and a wish shield is nutty since zane is immune to cryo splash damage with duck tape mod skill
Lets be real, the Norfleet would hands down be both the best and worst gun for a splash Moze if it was in BL3.
Man i rarely use any Vladof weapon idk why
Im a big fan of jacobs
