Depends on your character, build/playstyle, personal preference and the situation you are up against.

Good ones are:

-The Bekah
-Hammer Buster
-Ogre
-LeadStorm
-Hail
-Kitten
-Kerblaster
-Sawbar

Regular Dahl Miniguns and Jakobs Gatling Guns are really good aswell.

The Bekah has the highest damage potential but I wouldnt classify it as the best overall AR.
If I could name 3 ARs it would simply just be in order

Hail
Ogre
Kerblaster
the Shredifier is also really good

What others said - however, they are all quite difficult to obtain. Meanwhile, if you need any AR quickly, farm Veruc from Mobley. This is pretty much the only common AR that stands on its own.

Hail, Kitten, Lead Storm and Kerblaster are not even remotely hard to obtain..

Hail is arguably the best AR in the game..

Hail takes 5 rounds of Bandit Slaughter, which is available only once per playthrough. Plus, it's not exactly effortless challenge. For KerBlaster, you need either kill half of Southern Shelf Bay, or earn hundreds of Torgue tokens.

From this list the Kitten is the easiest IMO, but also one of teh weakest.

Are you serious? You just do the save only trick after completing the last round and exit out until you have the one you want or straight up alt+f4 if its not the one you ant.

Earning Torgue tokens is EXTREMELY easy all you really need to do is farm the beatdown bar for a while and earn it then farm torgue machines..

If I could only choose one weapon regardless of class, it would be the Bekah. The swiss army knife. Hard to get though and even harder to get with the right parts (Dahl), otherwise recoil goes through the roof

For AR's, Hail. Heals, splash damage, crit multiplier, unlisted projectiles, fun to use, what not to like?

Bekah for pure damage. Ogre for magazine size or if playing Axton. Bekah is probably more situational, whereas the Ogre is a workhorse.

Hail > Ogre for Axton.

Not a big fan of AR's in BL2 but Bekah, Shredifier & Hammer Buster work well for me.

just saying the bekah is a pearl and you can only get it in uvhm so dba!!!!!!!

I'm going to have to reset my playthrough for a hail now. Already completed finks. Sounds and looks - from yt clips - worth trying at least. Quite attached to my ogre.

Love my cryo Hail in TPS & had a good shock Hail in BL2 but the gun has some weird habits & takes some practice. I believe its buff to crits dmg is the game's best @ +150% :steamhappy:
