This Borderlands 2: 10 Best Legendary Weapons guide lists some of the best player-chosen weapons you can have in your arsenal, their effects, and how to get them.
10. Conference Call
Type: Legendary Shotgun
Manufactured by: Hyperion
How to Get it: You will get this weapon by taking down the warrior, the final boss of the Main Story.
Effects: This is a mundane weapon with a reduced projectile count. When your enemies land hits with the conference call, their bullets penetrate through them, causing excessive damage. Each bullet generates new bullets in midair, increasing the impact and creating more projectiles. This gun is ideal for large targets.
Caution: The increased projectiles make the weapon difficult to wield, thus reducing accuracy.
9. Unkempt Harold
Type: Legendary Pistol
Manufactured by: Torque
How to Get it: You will get this weapon from Savage Lee’s drops in the Three Horns – Divide.
Effects: This weapon fires three shots at once in accelerating horizontal spread. Each bullet splits twice, creating four projectiles.
Caution: Stock up the ammo, as this weapon uses 3 ammo per shot.
8. The Bee
Type: Legendary Amplify Shield
Manufactured by: Hyperion
How to Get it: You will get this weapon by defeating Hunter Hellquist in the Arid Nexus – Boneyard and Treants in the Forest during Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep.
Effects: This is a deadly weapon with no amp drain but high amp damage.
Caution: Reduced shield capacity and increased recharge rate causing delay in the recharge.
7. Norfleet
Type: Legendary E-tech Rocket Launcher
How to Get it: You will get this weapon by taking down Vermivorous the Invincible or Hyperius the Invincible.
Effects: If you want to blow everything up, use this weapon. It fires three large projectiles in a horizontal line, increasing the damage and blast radius.
Caution: Though this is a great weapon for large enemies, it reduces accuracy and uses 3 shots per ammo. You also need to be cautious if you stand too close to the projectiles, as you will take damage.
6. Bunny
Type: Legendary Rocket Launcher
Manufactured by: Tediore
How to Get it: You will get this weapon by taking down any chubby enemy.
Effects: When the weapon is reloaded, it randomly throws explosive bouncing grenades.

5. Lyuda
Type: Legendary Sniper Rifle
Manufactured by: Vladof

Effects: This weapon now has a unique bullet behaviour that maximizes the DPS. When the rifle is shot, it splits a single bullet into three projectiles, each with sharp accuracy. When it comes to damage, Lyuda has a 125% critical hit bonus.
Caution: As the bullet spread is predictable, so avoid using the weapon on single or weak enemies.
