Borderlands 2 Best Quest Weapons

Introduction

Hey there, fellow Borderlands 2 enthusiasts! As a longtime player, I’ve spent countless hours exploring Pandora and collecting loot. One of my favorite aspects of the game is the variety of quest weapons available. In this article, I’ll be sharing my top picks for the best quest weapons in the game.

But first, let’s take a look at some interesting facts and statistics about Borderlands 2 quest weapons:

There are over 50 unique quest weapons in the game
Some quest weapons have hidden perks that are not immediately apparent
Quest weapons can only be obtained by completing specific quests

My Top Picks

After much experimentation and research, these are the quest weapons that I believe are the best:

Sandhawk – This SMG is a must-have for any Borderlands 2 player. It has high damage and a unique firing pattern that allows multiple bullets to hit the same target. The only downside is that it can only be obtained by completing a quest in the DLC campaign, Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate’s Booty.
Pimpernel – Another DLC quest weapon, the Pimpernel is a sniper rifle with explosive bullets that split into smaller projectiles upon impact. It’s great for taking down large groups of enemies or bosses with multiple hitboxes.
Conference Call – This shotgun has a unique firing pattern that releases additional bullets in a horizontal spread. It can be obtained by completing the quest, The Bane, given by Mad Moxxi in The Dust.
Flakker – The Flakker is a legendary shotgun that fires a spread of explosive pellets. It can be obtained by completing the quest, The Beard Makes the Man, given by Ellie in The Dust.
