Hey guys! Back with another Borderlands countdown video and today, I wanted to go over 10 of what I think are among some of the best Shotguns in Borderlands History. As always with these types of videos, i'm trying to balance some of these picks, otherwise it might be exclusively hyperion shotgun variants from Borderlands 2 with a few Jakobs and Torgue shotguns sprinkled throughout.
If you liked this video, feel free to leave a like and let me know what you think!
The Conference Call, The Swordsplosion, and The Butcher belong on the list of best shotguns.
Moff Tarkin he didn't include those as he has to spread the games the guns came from, if not I'm sure the swordplosion and conference call would've taken spots 2 and 3. But I agree I expected conference pre-patch to be on the list.
Moff Tarkin and Triquerta
Moff Tarkin i personnaly really enjoy TK's wave or the Tidal Wave just fun to shoot
marco nighttro x Kik it ok
I'm ok with the swordsplosion not being here although I LOVE that gun. The CC is a must and the Butcher is a beast. I'mglad to see some BL1 guns on here. The Hammer was a monster if you got the right parts.
I swear, if one of the new Vault Hunters in Borderlands 3 is a Shotgun User, and some of these great weapons are ported to that game, some fun's gonna be had.
rolanx That
There is flak who is a any gun user mostly shotgun
And yes most of these guns are in borderlands 3

Thou art not baddas enough
No Conference Call? 😐
The Conference Call's nowhere near as good as it used to be after the Bee shield got nerfed.
23r0 I am still frustrated with this nerf to this day we are playing a game that the whole point is to collect loot and become more powerful and IMO deserve to acquire weapons and gear that push that whole OP premise if you have ground out the game.
23r0 Gaming but the conference call was never nerfed and is still the 2nd highest DPS shotgun in bl2
Plaz 1398 There's still way more OP gear and skills than are necessary to blow through any enemy in the game
It needed to happen tbh. The Conference Call+Bee Shield combo was so OP that it made Grog Herald Moneyshot Salvador look balanced by comparison (bear in mind that it could kill Terramorphus in FOUR SECONDS). There was no incentive to use any other gear combo either because it was just as OP no matter WHAT your build was - you could've spent NO skill points and it wouldn't have made a difference!
I think the Sledge Shotgun should be on the list... once you get it on the first playtrough is hard to find a new one, because his damage is so friggin high... on my first playtrough ever on BL1 I only found a shotgun that outmatches it at the General Knoxx DLC...
~Also is my favorite gun in the game...
The bl2 version is not bad either dude but only a shadow of the damage it has in bl1. But you're right in bl1 it is proper kick ass.
There is a Jakobs green rarity shotgun called terrible shotgun (this variant has 2 ammo on mag and insanely high dmg like 200x9 on lvl 20).It destroys everything on it's way.
Cool dude I will look out for it.
The sledges shotgun on borderlands 2 is beastly
Dude you're so right.
Cool video dude, loving it. Yeah still like the butcher, heartbreaker and the conference call, but call me a schmuck if you want but for a laugh I still like sledges shotgun from bl1.
Absolutly, that thing was insane. The two round burst and insane knock back, all paired with it being a guaranteed drop made that shotgun my favourite. It's only downside was that the two round burst used up all of its mag, and it's sub-par reload speed
Yeah man proper crazy but that's what makes it so cool.
You enjoy BL1’s Sledge’s Shotgun?
Is it because you can use it to Fly?
It most likely is that reason, isn’t it.
Put a sledges shotgun with the right heavy gunner soldier and you got a five ammo sledges shotgun with high fire rate. Absolute melter right there
No your spot-on. I loved my Sledge like a baby I only stopped using it when I got my Hammer.
Interfacer.
BECAUSE IT ENTERS YOUR FACE!
Konrad Łączkowski miss him so much
GET IT. IT ENTER YOUR FACE
Slow down Krieg
I was a bit surprised that the Interfacer was there instead of the Conference Call, I also find your shotgun options from Borderlands 1 interesting as I've been playing a lot of it recently and I haven't found the Hammer or the Bulldog to be a super good weapon, I usually end up using the S&S Crux and the Maliwan Pestilence(misnamed Crux) and those two are just absolutely amazing.
If you play as Brick or Roland you can get alot out of the bulldog and hammer for example an explosive 20 shot rocket launcher like shotgun with great fire rate pairs really well with a 90% max increase to damage and fire rate with bricks kill skills. Roland can have about 50 bullets in one bulldog which makes a really fun weapon to use in every element especially corrosive. The hammer does alot of damage great spread size and the damage increases with classes can be very high. Anything with good damage high fire rate and multiple pellets is useful for any character. Masher revolvers, carnage or not bulldogs, penetrator, Orion, and of course double anarchy (torgue highest damage, Dahl for allegiance, and tedious for best reload speed).
Make a video about guns that got forgotten that are great
TatorNUTZ956 ! ooh, my skullmasher finally gets to shine?
Geo Belmont yea i love that sniper i use that and pimpernel
Geo Serenity what about the bone shredder! Leveled of course
With Salvador try the combo with the Conference Call, Grog Nozzle, and The Bee.
I'd rather have sound from the gameplay like you did before instead of using music. It really doesn't fit.
I Agree
Too loud
I don't think Puma is expressing how insane the twister is on Gaige. Let me explain. Slayer of Terra + 600 anarchy stacks + close enough + n'th degree + wires don't talk + twister = shock twister as wide as 2 Ellies and half the height of Gaige that home in on everything and anything
Gotta say, I love the Striker from bl2. Using that with zero, with all those precision crits, was such a blast. It could work pretty well too with axton maybe, he has some skills for quicker reloads if I'm remembering correctly.
Roland had awesome shotgun skills in BL1, if they were maxed he was unstoppable with a shotgun.
The Vitriolic Crux from bdl 1!
It was essentially a hellfire but a shotgun with corrosion! I would say just as good as blast hammer!
The exploding sword shotgun
Gotta love the heartbreaker. It can even handle ironclad and loaders due to its high crit damage. Although I play with the community patch so idk if it isn’t as good in Bl2 stock.
The Flayer is so much fun on the Handsome Doppelganger. Pretty fucking OP but a lot of fun.
A great thing about the Omen is that with gaige the middle pellet will always go straight
While it shouldn’t be in the top ten, the terrible matador from bl1 used by brick is one if not the best shotgun setup in the entire game because of how much fuckin’ damage that gun does if you have the right parts. Brick can one shot badasses with this thing and it’s amazing
My favorite will always be sledges shotgun from borderlands 1
I’ve been using my Jolly Roger for the past 7+ levels, it’s a great gun for how easy it is to get and I know I’ll be using it for a few more levels at least
It’s like an island paradise. I’ve never been there
2:52 borderlands 1 legendary
Evan Ybarra yeah??
Honestly I can totally understand why he didnt include the CC, Swordsplosion or Butcher is because we all know these are great shotguns, it would be pretty boring if he included predictable shotguns.
And people PLEASE stop saying the CC was nerfed. It was not, however how it works(or any shotgun) with The Bee or any Amp shield WAS nerfed. (Instead of amp damage applying to each pellet, the amp damage is now divided to each pellet)
Pswits I hadn't known that about the bee! Seems like a good way to have nerfed it
That’s a nerf though.
Purple rarity/Glitch rarity Jakob's Doc's Quad is my favorite shotgun. BABOOM
I'd say that the Company Man from the Pre-Sequel should be here.
Cmon Puma, I know you have to narrow the list to 10 weapons but you've could have made some honourable mentions. In the case of this video the honourable mentions should be the Conference Call, the Borderlands 2 Butcher, the Swordsplosion, the Slowhand, Company Man & others.
Havnt watched this but the quad and butcher better be in here
hate it when I fall in the lava. What a lucky save, at 12min mark
This is pretty cool i keep watching your videos helps a lot with my somewhat strategic game play I'm making a Salvador shotgun build I never saw anyone with such a build so I'm trying something different anyways keep up the good work
I haven’t been here since yoteslaya crazy to see this game is still holding.
#2: The hammer. A VLADOF shotgun. Bl1 was weird and I loved it
Semi-automatic shotguns in Borderlands 1 are a madhouse - Practically anything in front of me dissolves before my eyes
The Hyperion shotgun you get in the pre sequel from purchasing tales from the borderlands is absolutely fantastic and I'm so sad that I got it at level 35 because you can't ever get it again :(
Isn't that the 'Company Man'? If you install the Community Patch it is obtainable.
Izahdnb yes that's it! How do I do that.
Yes there are even youtube vids explaining how to install the patch for BL2 or the pre sequel. Have fun!
I don’t remember the shotgun but I had this one that had a massive rate of fire and magazine to go with it, had electric element. Basically it was shotgun that fired as fast as a machine gun. It melted enemies. I honestly stopped using other weapons because of it. Absolutely love Borderlands
The butcher? ( I know it was years ago but I like to watch past videos)
I'd have included the Crux from bl1
get a corrosive one and you win lol
I found that the Crux does the Hammer (and the Bulldog) three better. When you want to dump 20 rounds of high explosive buckshot into someone in less than 5 seconds, go with the Crux over either of them. It has more explosive and raw damage potential, along with a fixed pattern that makes more sense than the Hammer (while the Bulldog has a spread about the size of a small UFO... when reset, that is). If you want critical hits, you should be using it like its intended purpose: barrel in front of the enemy’s face. If I had to replace the Bulldog (because almost all shotguns in BL1 are better than it in some way), I’d have to choose the Plague, aka the corrosive Cruz that has a bugged name. High elemental damage makes quick work of the most likely thing you’ll be fighting: Crimson Lance.
Oh, also, Roland is the best one for shotguns, as his Commando class mod boosts fire rate, damage/ammo regen, and the Scattershot skill, making almost every shotgun an absolute blast to use. Except the Bulldog. Bulldog has nothing going for it.
did u saw that badass lance dropped.that wile cat
Jose Mendez your English is very bad
Jose Mendez
"Saw" is past tense and it should be "see". You misspelled wild.
Constructive criticism.
Sweet Cobalt lol dude chill Its just CZcams
eh hes probably drunk lol
Yea mate I saw it
The striker is amazing in borderlands the pre sequel wym? It’s my main weapon for jack
In other videos he's said its better in the Pre Sequel compared to the one in 2
If the bl1 sledges shotgun isn’t on here I 100% don’t think I can trust you anymore.
i love the slow hand with axton tho, with a vladof shield and grenadier mod is awesome
I love the interfacer with gunzerker and grog nozzle
coldkiller007 that is my go to combo just shreds through everything
It's almost like everyone uses it.
Reed stone yeah it’s such a fine combo
Jesse Selman yeah it’s super popular
Jeeze you have 250k. I’ve been watching since 5k and I never expected that you would get this far congrats
the matador from borderlands 1 is a good shotgun but the terrible matador are the best made by atlas
Awesome video men, borderlands is just so amazing, good job!
Huh, never knew how I got the twister. It was total accident. I was actually just beating the dlc with Axton for the Clever Boy head because it's Axton's best and coolest head and I totally accidentally got the Twister.
6:33 Are we just going to ignore how high that spider jumped?
I think the Octo should get an honorable mention here, as, for its ammo consumption, it has a high projectile count and does a decent amount of damage (whereas a lot of Borderlands 2 and the Pre-Sequel's better shotguns tend to consume multiple rounds per shot). I find that it's most effective on Gaige, but a properly-specced Axton or Krieg build can get good use out of it too - for the Pre-Sequel I recommend running it on Claptrap.
You said that the torgue-o torgue-o mission is located in serenity’s “waist” get it? Cuz it’s her waist? Ahh never mind (I know what you meant though)
Conference Call, Heart Breaker, Swordsplosion, Orphan Maker and Triquetra all should be on the list
I believe the butcher should be put on this list considering you conserve ammo and it comes in all elements and dual welding 2 of them with Salvador is absolutely phenomenal
S&S Spiked Death (especially if you're playing Mordy with a Ranger class mod)
HOLY CRAP! IT SHOOTS ROCKETS!
Super controversial opinion: I like the conference call better than the Interfacer. I've used both and always find myself switching back to a Conference Call after using the Interfacer for a while. (Not that it matters much but the CC also looks way cooler.)
Mines is the lumpy landscaper from borderlands 2
He is doing best shotguns currently in the games. The pre patched CC is not in the game anymore. Although, I am surprised it still didn't make the list. The CC is still really good and don't bring up the bee. I don't use that stupid shield, it is OP as fuck
Of course there are several i would have put in the list.But the one kinda surprise one for me was the company man from the pre sequel.
I'm quite surprised that the Conference Call from Borderlands 2 wasn't on the list. That shotgun is awesome with Anarchy Gaige.
JustANormalGam3r he was trying to get a fair amount of guns from all games. The Torguemota (don’t know how to spell it off the top of my head) is a good gun, myself I wouldn’t have put it in the top ten. I agree the Conference call is an amazing weapon, but getting more guns from every game would be more of a priority.
omg i had no idea i have the 3rd best shotgon
Vinylic i love your videos hopefully one day i can get ina game of borderlands 2 with you :)
The Butcher is so good
I love my Hammer... use it everywhere. I found it a level or two after I got Sledges shotgun. Sorry Sledge.
Man, i love the flayer
The Blockhead, easy. It's my favorite gun in all the games, and it's so sad that no one ever seem to use it. In a flesh map is shreds pretty much everything to pieces, and that up front and personal playstyle is so fun :D
Minecraft easter egg, shoots nine fire projectiles in a square like a crafting tables grid.
#9 - "Hunter's Striker" - 'But I thought VPG hated it?' *Sees 'Borderlands 1 Only' bit* . How nice, really rubbing it in at this point, I think. I'm an advocate of the Striker in BL2. It seems a more common drop than some other random legendary drops, and though the mag size is small, the reload speed is pretty good, and the damage and accuracy are also good for a shottie.
Remember the Conference Call + Bee before the nerf? Man.. guess that's why I still have a soft spot for the CC.
1: he still thinks it is better than many shotguns on this list, but he didn't include it so that he can include the pre sequel and bl1 shotguns.2: it is still op with the bee
RIP Conference Call
What about the orphan maker? That monster was basically a two fer iron on meth after snorting cocaine, taking bath salts and injecting anabolic steroids
Apparently the flayer is a 1 in 1000 from viruses
You can just buy the Interfacer from the Seraph Vendor in Hunter's Grotto. Unless I misunderstand the vendors in Borderlands 2, I just farmed Pete and went the Hunter's Grotto and bought one.
Thank you for including 1
The Swordsplosion, for obvious reasons.
The Miss Moxxi Heart Breaker, it does great damage, it has a good rate of fire and magazine size, it only uses one bullet per shot, it's a hyperion shotgun, so it's accurate as fuck, and as a miss moxxi weapon it heals you as you deal damage, literally the only downside is that it only comes in fire elemental damage.
I like the conference call cause it’s easy to get
Boomacorn Bro's. We have a sad day with this list.
Blockhead will always be one of my favorites :)
It bothers me that he doesn't use matching grip but he'll use the grip that almost looks like the matching grip
2018 and any one still playing borderlands the original
What about the S&S Spiked Death in BL1? For maximum fun, use it on Mordy with a Ranger class mod (5-line purple model 660 built from material2 so it buffs crit bonus) and maxed-out Lethal Strike to make full use of the spike. Death shotguns in BL1 have an unlisted crit bonus. Brute shotguns are also excellent. The best ones are made by S&S and Hyperion.
4:58 / 5:06 Technically, it has a cylinder, not a magazine.
5:24 Elemental Carnage guns always proc per sh0t regardless of elemental rating. They're exceedingly rare.
6:39 Two weapons types that Bandit does right are shotguns and rocket launchers. Their SMGs can be good too. And also the Ratatater machine pistol (w/Vlad barrel).
11:47 Technically, a break-open breach-loading shotgun doesn't have a magazine.
13:34 S&S shotguns hold nine rounds as a bare minimum.
the conference call has synergy with every character what is wrong with you its so good
Crux, conference call, bullpup, butcher, swordsplosion, company man, slow hand? I personally thought that a lot of these shotguns could've made the list over weapons like the flakker.
I felt that the flakker only really made it because of the glitch, sure it isn't horrible but I find it's outclassed by even weapons like the ravager without using a torgue launcher.
Resurrecting Conference call
Hammer + Brick (Blast Master spec) = OMGWTF + 1000x Badassness
Love your videos, Puma, got a question for you. Do you think your preference towards high fire rate weapons knocks out guns that would otherwise be effective in terms of it damage output:ammo consumptipns? For instance, you gave the striker a lower ranking due to it fire rate, but neglected how fantastic it is at dispatching mobs at medium range due to it ability to one-shot most of them.
imagine roland with the bulldog
Because mr Torgue wanted it, SWORDSPLOSIOOON
Hammer shotgun is so broken , with the cobra sniper rifle , the ogre ( explosive weapon on borderlands 1 is the best " élément " )
I do love my casual ravager 😎
I thought the Boomacorn was really fun.
my favourite shotgun is the skullmasher
random person: but that is a-
LA LA LA LA I’M NOT LISTENING MORE THAN ONE BULLET SHOT IS A SHOTGUN LA LA LA LA...
Lest face it #1 should have been the hydra
#1 Double lovin' Pounder
I actually really enjoy the Teeth of Terra. Against Terra himself or the son of crawmerax it's pretty powerful
This is extremely late but I recommend you watch lilgasmak's run of him trying to beat the game with only the teeth of terra
OMG this man uses a hyperion grip on the flakker😂
OMG this man uses a sasuke pfp😂
You have a list of just borderlands 1 shotguns? This is my mom's favorite game and I've been replaying it with her for bonding time and like trying to outfit her with the best I can find.
Edit: If you've any suggestions, she doesn't like Scopes on shotguns, so if there are preferably some great ones without a scope, that would be preferred.
Legit watching this made me fall asleep
