Ajax Ogre
This is the peak. The Zenith.
Why? Insane accuracy, mag size and damage.
All around SSS tier stats.
Works literally on every build and char.

Defiler
Insane damage and accuracy.
very fast reload.
... and this mostly ignored small little detail...
SPREADING 15% DAMAGE INCREASE

Anarchy
Nuff said.

Unforgiven Masher
The strongest revolver.
only this low bc of personal favorism!

Bessy
This actually peeks into craws soul.

Nemesis Invader
On Triggerpull to kill them all.

Pestilence (the true Crux)
yeah. yeah. favorism. bla bla.
actually good effect, damage, speed and accuracy.

Penetrator
The better wrath.

Wrath
This is the highest dps you can actually achieve in the game.

Iron Clad
This can actually reach invulnerability territory.

Orion
One of the few actually shocking weapons!

Unforgiven
Only here, because the masher exists...

Mug Shot
Unbalanced as heck, esp. until max level.

Tsunami
High damage and insane effect.
What a combination!

Nemesis
Even the non-hybrid rocks!

Undertaker
...digs the grave as well!

Massacre
The better draco!

Reavers Penetrator
ehh... its a penetrator.. with a bigger scope..
...which actually just makes it slightly worse..

the other crux
Well, its a crux but with boom...

Reaper
Should actually be name dracula..
High melee damage and melee healing!

Firehawk
Actually a preeeetty good fire weapon!

Cobra
Explosive Sniper.. do i need to say more?

Beech
Actually quite a decent SMG!

Ogre
Well. Its the smaller brother of the peak..

Draco
Also a good machine gun, though for some reason, the fixed draco feels weaker than the massacre.

Sledge Shotgun
Pellets for days!

Ajax Spear
Insert the hydra meme.. this is the third brother..
funky, but still a decent machine gun!

Omega
Where is the alpha?
YOU are the alpha now!

Rose
Would be higher, if it wouldnt be beat by nearly every skill based healing...

Cracked Sash
Why does nobody talk about this gem?

Wee Wees super booster
its better than you might think!

--- intermission ---

ANS2-AWE
Practically the poor mans iron clad.
this has actually more shield than the other pearls.
just no effect.

XC Shields
if you need resistance...

--- back to weapons, just slightly more condensed ---

Serpens, Avenger, Aries
These are the B tier pearls.
still insanely good weapons, just not peaking..

Violence
... is the answer!

Hybrid Mashers and Hybrid Carnage
Annaconda and Equilizer Mashers. Well.
If you have good guns and make them better you get this.
Carnage with bonus fun... Shrockets!
(i.e. shotgun and rockets..)

Destroyer
I would call it the base line.

Vengeance
Is yours!
... or: who need shields, if you can shoot through them!

Skullmasher
Snipegun? Shotter?
Practically a sniper masher.. as its name implies...

Violator
Rights? What rights?
.. if you cant afford a masher..

Anaconda
Not that kind of big thing...

Mongol
Well.. it implies horde...
.. rockets.. lots of rockets...

Bastard
Should be called bronco.
kicks like a mule!

Gasher
Well.. its the anarchy without the anarchy...

Kyros Power
Yes, this is still a decent sniper...

Whittings Elephant Gun
One: just to mock the gun behind it
Two: just fun to shoot

Hellfire
it's so overrated..
i would have loved to put it in C-Tier....
but it still does decent normal damage for a smg!
...but the effect is so useless...
enemies either aren't afflicted (much) or die before you get any usable amount of ticks in.
literally, a single defiler bullet does more damage, than 10 fire ticks... which is like 10 seconds..

Even though its already "C" tier, everything is still good!

Jackal
The Carnage you have at home.

Silent Night, Hive Mind, Sucker Punch
All new GBX guns are unbalanced, thats why they sit amoung the "bad" pearls.
Silent night is the sore loser copy of the bessy, still not better though.
hive mind is a decent rocket launcher.. but its just that.
Sucker Punch is an awesome move.. i mean its a decent melee weapon..

Stalker
If you would have more CQB in BL1, it would actually be useful.

All leftover hybrids
due to their double effect, most hybrids are just better than their parts.
Dove Hornet and Amigo protector are decent pistols.
Bone shredder savior is a better ammo-regen-smg.
"Fire" is the unloved child of unloved guns....
TKs Bulldog.. riding something... but not waves..
Rhino Roaster.. wait what? roasted rhinos? isnt that in this one asterix and obelix movie?
Kyros Cyclops.. i lied. sometimes the parts are better than the sum.

Hammer
it's SICKle..
yeah.. i see myself out..
decent-ish shotgun

Surkov
Better get a Dragunov...

Chimera and Equilizer
They are.. good? decent? both? both!

Rhino and Redemption
Insert the other "why not both" meme here!
This time its rocket launchers instead of revolvers!

Now it gets funky
Athenas wisdom - decent repeater
bone shredder - decent smg
typhoon - wishes to be the fibber... somewhat ricocheting bullet smg..
The Dove - well.. unlimited ammo... but at what cost..

bahas bigger.... blaster?
Well... i said all the GBX guns are unbalanced..
how did they manage to eff up so hard?

Well, these things still shoot
Guardian and Raven - okayish rifles
Hydra, Bulldog, Striker, Defender, Friendly Fire...
...for some reason, even as legendary shotguns, nothing stands out.

Eridian Firepower Overwhelming?!
Firebomb and Splattergun.
Not really. They are fun to play with, but have no DPS...
On top of that, they are around 10x rarer than pearls...
notice the lack of the mega cannon? it comes later...

Butcher
No Billy, No!

Nidhogg
Keep your distance..

Invader
not the pistol, but the longer shooting thingy..
good on paper, average in game.

The last of the bullet spreaders!
Boom Stick, TKs Wave and the Blister.
Shotguns are fun and strong.. mostly..not these though.

Why are repeaters so split?
The Clipper, Kroms Sidearm and the Lady finger.
They all have one in common - lack of firepower.

Patton
Not the tank. Or the general...

Rider
you actually have to try to shoot your eye out..

Reavers Edge
i dont even know why its so low.
probably slow with a high zoom?
at least it still made the D-tier...

i might have lied in the title.. if you play brillith, his siren punches are better.

Eridian Meh Cannon
I just cant call it mega. its so slow..
you can probalby do more damage with granades...

Thanatos
Its the BL1 gub..
in the right hands this can be B tier..
i think its this low because it pollutes the drop-pools..

Cyclops
seeing things is overrated.
well... you can see things.. they just need to be far away..
...far... far... away...

Invader - the other one
How can one of the highest DPS parts be this low?
Well, if you take away the DPS, you only get ammo wasting..

Hornet
In BL2 its a god sent, here its... a send..

Rebel and Gemini
Yeah, not even average..

Revolution
The other word for rotation, not its other meaning.

Wild Cat
A: it pollutes loot-pools.
B: its just an smg... literally.

Savior
At least this SMG has no ammo issues... if it would deal damage, that would be nice.

Chiquito Amigo
yeah.. im not gonna stoop so low as to compare it to your...
... just kidding - it is exactly like your little compadre: small, useless and flacid

Knoxx Gold
Hey, at least its shiny. right?

Leviathan
"it rises".. what is up with gearbox and their below belt humor?
Tiny-trouser-snake would be a more truthful name..

Nailer
THis ones for your mum!
BAZINGA!

Roaster
Get it? Bc you just were roasted!

The Spy
It stats are average.. otherwise it would be F tier..

The Meat Grinder
This is the bottom line.. literally..

Troll
Haha.. so funny..

Protector
Only for your virginity, if you use this..

The Sentinel
Well. this is at least shooting straight..

Mad Jack
If the last one wouldnt be so annoying, this would be last place...

The Chopper
The only thing this chops, are your eardrums.
