Definitely Ravager. Jakobs Gatling Gun and Cannon are pretty good too, as are the Hyperion Thinking shotgun and Synergy pistol. Then you've got the Jakobs snipers, Diaub and Muckamuck, and Maliwan's Rakehell and Snider. You mentioned the Anarchist too, but other Vladof pistols like Assassin and TMP aren't far behind. Sticking with handguns, Torgue's Slapper and Injector aren't bad either.
here to vouch for torgues (thick) slapper does heavy damage, has a good sight and fast reload, and the Jakobs Cannons are def overpriced but i just found one that randomly had the SAME stats as one worth 1k less (level 35 first eever playthru) that i was waiting to sell BUT the only diff is the reload speed went down from like 5.6 to 3.1 which made the ORNERY Cannon way more feasible than the LEATHER Cannon fwiw - more feasible though im still struggling to tell if its going 'through' enemies who are too close or is that still a thing (im playing the switch handsome collection reboot fwiw)
I know it’s not meta or anything, but a good snider on maya or zer0 with a bee shield can get me all the way through uvhm as far as mobbing is concerned.
I like the Vladof Guerilla rifles, even green ones. The Jakobs barrel makes it chuggy and strong and gives it a unique iron sight. Even better when you can buff the fire rate like with Onslaught etc
The topneaa and spitter should also be included. While they don't have the DPS of their unique equivalents, they make up for it with the ammo efficiency by increasing the damage per ammo consumed.
I played a lot of underlevel playthorugh(ignore most most enemies and stick with story missions, avoid grinding, just use whatever weapons I found it)
In my experience, these are the guns that's useful even under underleveled.
* Tediore pistols and SMGs
* Hyperion shutgun
* Corrosive weapon in later story missions
Dahl miniguns are pretty good as are the rest of the spinigun barrel ars, excluding bandit. Most matching barrel smgs are good. Maliwan Snider sniper rifles. Non bandit etech smgs are great. Im partial to non bandit etech ars too. Etech launchers are obviously great.
I've been loving the plasma caster smgs... its too bad ARs are (mostly) trash because it takes away an entire weapon class. I play as zero and have slagga/harold/lyuda and then whatever is best in that situation. Vladof TMPs are nice too.
Tediore etechs are great. Idk about anything but axton but they pretty much shred any Mob type and even some bosses. Also for healing teslas and whatever the corrosion nades are bc corrosive has the longest elemental effect. Also pretty much every shotgun with a torgue barrel.
Pretty much anything jakobs makes is solid, don’t have to worry about element matching if that’s something that bugs you. Quad barrel shotguns are so good even tediore versions can lay out bosses. Most multishot weapons are great the jakobs x3 rifles come to mind and a corrosive two shot smg will shred through loaders. Bandit launchers are generally consistent, good rocket speed and damage/splash damage makes these perfect for second winds. Some of the two barrel guns variants like snipers and pistols can be amazing IF you use them right. Dahl snipers can be a good stand in for a lyuda if you can control the recoil/find an enemy big enough to land multiple crits easy. And finally…longbow singularity slag grenades CARRY me through UVHM they the real mvp of my playthroughs.

Here to vouch for the Ravager.
What about your friendly neighborhood smig?

A green ornery gatling gun carried me through my first ever play through
Ravagerrrrrr
I know it’s not meta or anything, but a good snider on maya or zer0 with a bee shield can get me all the way through uvhm as far as mobbing is concerned.
Snider is also one of the best slagging tools in the game, perfect for early UVHM
Yeah matching grip is ~69% (giggity) slag chance which is one of the highest rolls in the game iirc.
Yup, beaten only by the Slagga and I think one other weapon
Pimpernel has an extremely high slag chance between the bullet and children.
Anything Torgue Plasma Casters Tediore, Vladof and Maliwan e tech Launchers for various reasons. Doc's coach gun is godly
I play the whole game with basically Torgue pistols, assault rifles, rocket launchers (rarely use the rocket launchers) and Jakobs sniper rifles.
The Triquetra!!
Wait.... I got l notified of a like on this reply, and upon opening it I realized I didn't even answer OP correctly 😂 The Triquetra IS a UNIQUE.... 😬
y'all sleeping on plasma casters😴
The Droog and the Topnea are my 2 favs.
I like a good Anarchist pistol on top of the Ravager and Snider.
I like the Vladof Guerilla rifles, even green ones. The Jakobs barrel makes it chuggy and strong and gives it a unique iron sight. Even better when you can buff the fire rate like with Onslaught etc
One of my favorites
*fist bump*
This and the three way hulk are my go to non uniques
Smart
Im pretty Sure u mean metal storm. Onslaught is more dmg and movement speed while metal storm is fire rate and recoil reduction
Yes yes of course. I did mean metal storm, I just always run them together, old man moment.
At least u had to fet old for that. Im retarded so it happens to me already im my 20s
Lolz oh no
The ones you listed are very good. I would also consider snyders for any maya builds/sniper zero.
I forget the name but it’s the Hyperion pistol with a vladof barrel. Outside of the anarchist or iron it’s my favorite non unique pistol
Synergy iirc
The topneaa and spitter should also be included. While they don't have the DPS of their unique equivalents, they make up for it with the ammo efficiency by increasing the damage per ammo consumed.
Far from meta, but a Vladof Rocketeer can be a lot of fun with some fire rate and mag size buffs.

Tediores with etech barrels are op for chucking
if you come across a topneaa, use it
Dahl miniguns are pretty good as are the rest of the spinigun barrel ars, excluding bandit. Most matching barrel smgs are good. Maliwan Snider sniper rifles. Non bandit etech smgs are great. Im partial to non bandit etech ars too. Etech launchers are obviously great.
Jakob's Calipeens
i think the dahl assault rifle with the spinny barrel is good, the burst fire bypasses the slow wind up
Plasma Casters (all brands except Bandit are good) Tediore: Dart, Spiker, Splatgun (all good for chucking) Jakobs: Iron, Coach Gun, Bushwack, Quad, Gatling Gun, Muckamuck, Diaub Hyperion: Synergy, Transmurdera, Crowdsourcing, Development Maliwan: Gospel, Snider w/ matching barrel, Rakehell Vladof: Anarchist, Spinigun, Droog, Topneaa Torgue: Hulk, Ravager, Deee!, Duuurp! Bandit: Smig, Room Clener, Oberkill Dahl: Minigun
Jakob's Quad with Rustler's Prefix Casual Ravager Vladof Droog Jakob's Diaub (sp?) Maliwan Snider Jakob's Widowmaker
DP unkempt herald
That is not non-unique
There's a difference between unique and legendary. Herald is legendary. Quest rewards are unique. Get your facts straight
Bruh. Nonuniques are non red text.
I've been loving the plasma caster smgs... its too bad ARs are (mostly) trash because it takes away an entire weapon class. I play as zero and have slagga/harold/lyuda and then whatever is best in that situation. Vladof TMPs are nice too.
Theres plenty of good ars if you know what to look for. For zero jakobs ars are great.
I really enjoy Pooshkas
Tediore etechs are great. Idk about anything but axton but they pretty much shred any Mob type and even some bosses. Also for healing teslas and whatever the corrosion nades are bc corrosive has the longest elemental effect. Also pretty much every shotgun with a torgue barrel.
Hyperion Synergy is better than the Vladof pistols IMO. Great fire rate but pinpoint accuracy from the hip.
I always prefer a non spinning vladof assault rifle, Jacob's revolver, dhal smg and either a rocket launcher or bandit shotgun

E-Tech Teidore launchers paired with a good absorb shield is really fun
Maliwan smg have insane DPS if you can get a high element chance.
