Since the launch of Borderlands 4, players have been uncovering powerful legendary weapons in droves, creating formidable builds capable of taking down the toughest bosses in mere moments. In this guide, discover a comprehensive list of the best legendary weapons, constantly updated for your benefit.
At some point in Borderlands 4, you’ll need to focus earnestly on your character build. Reaching the ultimate hunter levels doesn’t happen on its own, and many challenging bosses, like the Mimicron, must be defeated to advance smoothly in higher difficulty tiers. Thus, having strong legendary equipment is crucial for your progression once you reach a certain point in the adventure. Here, we’ve compiled a list of must-have legendary weapons found on Kairos, along with links to guides detailing how to acquire them.

How to Obtain Legendaries Easily?
We’ve discussed this in detail in other guides related to the endgame and the workings of legendaries in Borderlands 4, but a quick recap never hurts. In many of the guides mentioned above, you’ll quickly notice that everything revolves around quests, but also about secondary dungeons unlocked during the main campaign. Eventually, you’ll gain access to the Mines of Prophecy and the Bunkers of Order, introducing new bosses at the end of your journeys and, subsequently, new legendary loot tables. Boss farming is deeply integrated into the gameplay loop, particularly with Moxxi’s machines allowing you to initiate boss fights as often as you like for a nominal fee. That’s the primary method, but there are other ways to snag legendary items relatively easily in Borderlands 4: certain quests, such as the ultimate distributor, offer legendaries, similar to Maurice’s Black Market which changes locations weekly. Lastly, don’t forget about the golden keys provided by Shift codes; you can find an evolving list of these below. Happy farming!
