what are your favorite overpowered weapons from either game??
this also goes for modified weapons as well!!!

My 2 favorite guns from the original game are the Combustion HellFire and the Pestilent Defiler (currently changed into their "Malevolent" and "Savage" forms for increased damage), with the Ajax's Spear (modified with the "Max" prefix added) in a close 2nd place.

After modifying these 3 guns, they are so ridiculously overpowered, I couldn't help but laugh at some of the enemies corroding to death, or being turned into a crispy critter from being hit with only a few bullets instead of an entire clip.

+1 for Hellfire from BL1; it was way OP even unmodded.

indeed. I had to build mine from complete scratch using the WillowTree editor, after I accidentally made my originally equipped one disappear from my slot while trying to modify it (still new to mods, btw).

But after I built mine from scratch (even wrote down the parts needed after obtaining another incendiary SMG to give myself a clue), adding the "Malevolent" prefix that increased the damage further, and editing the weapon levels that really upgraded the damage. Hell, my Savage Defiler now does over 1000-Damage after modifying it, and can take down Badass Crimson Lance soldiers on Playthrough 2 (as i'm currently a Level-57 Roland) with a single headshot.
From Borderlands 2, probably a shock Hail. With Gaige it benefits from 10/5 in Wires Don't Talk which gives it a 30% Shock Damage increase. Combined with a Chaotic Good Necromancer class mod with 34% Fire Rate on it and 150 stacks of Anarchy, it melts any enemy in the game. Shock damage is neutral for most enemy elemental resistence so that's why the Hail works so well.

Most people find the gun awkward because of the slow-moving arching bullets. But once you get the arch right and pair it with Gaige's Close Enough skill it's hard to go down. It has a built in 150% Critical Damage bonus and it heals you at 3% of whatever damage you do with it. Overpowered as hell with Gaige.

I would definitely agree.

As for BL2, anything Moxxi is OP. Way too easy to get for being the only weapons you really need to finish the game.

In BL2, I'd say the Pimpernel. It's capable of some really crazy damage even without exploits, but I find it a lot of fun to use.

a good Rocket LauncherI got from the original game is one I got after killing Taylor Kobb called "The Roaster", but modified with the "Colossal" prefix. that one is sooooooo overpowered, words can't even describe

the Ajax's Ogre is extremely deadly when it has a fire-rate of 12.5 and an attached scope

a good reason why to modify it by adding the "Max" prefix to it (which upgrades the damage even further)
