But when things go wrong, the best strategy becomes to attack the enemies ferociously, and the best way to do this is to have the best weapons and armor in the game.
All guides for Borderlands 2 in the cheat sheet!
Where to find rare and legendary weapons, armor and grenades
Borderlands 2 uses a color system to classify weapons and items based on their importance and rarity:
- White: very common
- finanacing: common
- Blue: uncommon
- Viaola: rare
- Magenta: very rare (E-Tech)
- Orancione: Legendary
- Pearlescent: Ultra Legendari
It is not possible to define the exact places in which to find the best equipment as these are completely random. At the beginning of the game, when your level is still low, you will find only common weapons. As you progress and level your character well you will begin to find even the rarest weapons and armor.
In this guide we propose what we believe are the best weapons and indicate the seller / place where it is most likely to find them.
