Fun trivia. The binary on the Eridian cannon is the universal timecode from Futurama.

I didn't even know there WERE legendary Eridian weapons, I never seen them before...

The red text for the lightning is, "I feel like I'm gonna break this thing." It's a reference to Will Smith's line in Men In Black, when he gets the Noisy Cricket.

I've always thought Eridian weapons were garbage. I don't disagree with the order however. They just lack true power. You give Lilith a Double Anarchy and it's game over.

I think these are way more Unique then the etech weapons, also they look bloody sick

Eridians : make eridian weapons Also Eridians : *don't use eridian weapons*

I've easily sunk 2,000 hours into Borderlands 1. Never have I seen any legendary eridian weapons. Just my luck!

I owned Borderlands and played the entire lifetime without internet connection. So when I discovered these awesome, rare alien guns I became fascinated with them and collected several. The lightning shotgun was def my favorite of them all!

They need to bring back both Eridian and Atlas weapons in BL3.

I never actually use the Eridian Weapons I just like to collect them and stick em in the bank back at Moxxis underdome

Honestly I think the guns are cool and all, but I think there are other normal guns are just more useful.

That's it, you have convinced me to go back on borderlands 1 😬

I remember when I first played BL:1 I thought that you needed to get maximum proficency with the eridian weapons to make them viable. Hours of grinding later made for a massive disappointment. However, as stated in the video the thunder storm is actually pretty decent in CQC. Also, shooting corpses with the thunderstorm is a joy since the knockback with the weapon is one, if not the greatest in the game if i recall correctly.

I agree with the fact that Eridian weapons aren't the best, but they are by far the most fun to use. Especially when using only Eridian weapons.

awesome top 7!!!!!!!! Love it. Keep it up man, it means a lot to me. The only intresting borderlands content posted this day! :)

glad to see you making videos again. love to watch them. and your dual personality

My personal use of eridian weapons was always to collect thunder storms, keep the strongest four and use only those. After that, you can just keep using them and switching to the next one after running out of ammo. Probably doesn't sound that great, but I was able to rush into any squad of enemies like that.

Awesome video like always love the borderlands 1 count downs

You da man. Been watching your videos for 7 months now

i recall my first kill on Crawmerax, me and my buddy tagged teamed him with two Lilith's useing the Thunder Storm, that shock shotgun is lethal on him.

I think the shock rifle is one of if not the best eridian weapon cause it acts as a sniper with a huge DOT effect

I agree with your #1 pick. That weapon was really fun before I out leveled it. :)

Agreed. I've always liked using the Thunder Storm because of its high damage potential. It's not so great on its own, but if you're going for a full Eridian build (all four slots using Eridian weapons), you'll want this one in there for a quick swap to deal some damage. It can be invaluable for saving you from death if your enemies are swarming you. Just pay close attention to how many shots it has and swap it out the minute it's out of "ammo" or you'll die waiting for it to recharge like I used to do soooo much when I first made an Eridian build.

Border lands 1 remaster

My first eridian weapon (the cannon) felt way better than it really was, i got it in a chest RIGHT after my first encounter with the eridians in the "ghosts of the vault" sidequest. it just felt grand to get such an alien looking gun at a pretty low level, i used it for a bit but damn was it underwhelming for such a "fateful encounter"

Gotta say you do pretty good at getting videos out in comparison to some youtubers I know.

Sometimes, when I was lucky enough to find multiple thunder storms with nearly same base damages I would load 3 or 4 into my load out, the amount of ass that kicks is damn near inconceivable. Boss battles never ended so fast.

I'm starting to use them more, one thing people miss most in bl1 is weapon proficiency, the more you use the gun the better the bonus, since the eridian guns are pretty rare during a normal play through no one levels up its proficiency, the max proficiency bonus is like +48% damage and +102% cooldown rate, which could make these guns much better

All of bl rarities 1:white(common) 2:green(uncommon) 3:blue(rare) 4:purple(epic) 5:orange(legendary) 6:magenta(E-tec) 7:Yellow(eridian) 8:turquoise(pearlcent) 9:pink(g

Good to see you back at it VP!

hey there. new to your channel and like the content. decent video but out of the Eridium blasters, i didn't see the "ball blaster" what is nice about that one is that it's pretty much the first borderlands 2 tourge assault rifle in borderlands 1 but using the lightning element. also that hole video about lilith using them which is nice considering you get high elemental performance out of them but that for ones who goes for lilith.

I seriously hope to see a comeback of the eridian guns in borderlands 3, the E tech and moonstone weapons were pretty cool, but eridian weapons were by far the most unique type of weapon in the entire franchise

Sweet I can find now thanks puma

I remember getting a thunderstorm around level 12-ish i think? That thing literrally carried me to endgame, it was amazing. Its one of my favorite guns i've used in games period. I hope bl3 reintroduces the eldritch guns, tbe idea for them is fantastic

That nemesis invader tho

I love watching you attempt to kill enemies with Eridian weapons, run out of ammo and then melt them with the pearl pistol or an anarchy haha

I freaking love the thunderstorm, great backup weapon for close range fights.

i feel like the first game has been forgotten and overlooked its nice to see videos like this

My favorite is the blaster with the homing shots. Plus you can never go wrong with a gun that has "unlimited" ammo.

Im so glad I got this game in the steam winter sale this year. I can't wait to farm craw and the armory :D

Very interesting, did not know there where so msny types. I have a 68 siren on the go atm, may try some of these out.

The best way to get more shots with all of these is to have mutiple in your invintory In fact i had a brick that had 4 eriduim shot guns and i was pretty invinsible

I just remember getting an eridian weapon and going nuts haha. Usually from the chest where Tanis is at where you have to parkour to get to

My first play through I got a somehow glitched 001 cannon without a scope that did "9999999..." damage and fired quite fast without draining the charge (killed anything in one hit even bosses)

I remember getting some sort of sniper that seems to clean house fairly well

I discovered that the thunderstorm gun has a hidden effect. It completely destroys flying things like rakks and stuff. I just kind of aim it upward and all the rakks in the vicinity die from the lightning strike + chain lightning. It's a good weapon against flying enemies, but not very strong against ground enemies.

I personally love most of the eridian weapons. But only when they have the right battery, the skinny little phallic one with a tip on it, it makes them charge super fast, which is good for getting the elements on the enemy and then switching to another weapon.

Ive got about 30 or so pearlescents through farming them from craw or armory, but NEVER EVER saw a single legendary eridian. Those things are so freakin rare... Only surpassed by the Invader Nemesis.

I've been farming for ages for those things. I have all of them now and it was all worth it.

The corrosive eridian rifle is the only reason I made it through my first fort knoxx run, such a good gun

Got the thunder storm from scar while you were talking about it

That one pistol with all the elements, is that modded with willow tree? The one I made a long time ago on my 360 if I ads and empty the clip my 360 would freeze 😂good times! Great video!

I actually used these weapons a fair bit myself. Got a weapon proficiency over 36 with them. Stack them in 3 weapon slots and you can keep switching Between then whenever their charge is empty. I had an SMG as my 4th just in case stuff hit the fan - which was rare tbf. Was fun never needing to reload. There are also different "crystal" parts (with the blue tracing glowing effects) that determine max charge/recharge speed and high damage/slow recharge/minimum charge and things like that. Very cool finding a god roll on some of em - especially the wave blaster. Can snipe enemies from a distance with it and not worry bout anything haha.

The thunderstorm absolutely chews through guardians at the promontory when up close.

Makes me wonder if T.K came across one of these "wave" rifles and somehow reverse engineered one. Side note- The larger oscillations on his shotgun could likely be from not being able to tune the weapon right after losing his eye sight.

You can also farm lilith's eridian warrior class mod to give these an extra boost

Is no.7's firebomb 2's pimpernel? awesome.

hey puma you ok? Can you do best and worst skills for borderlands 1? also the only reason I farmed eridiim guns were because the destroyer has an insane health pool and it's nice to have a backup weapon. infinity for bl2 and eridian weps for bl1

Borderlands 1 was the only game I played when I was 6. I got the game of the year edition for my birthday and played it nonstop. I met this kid online and his name was like Bloodshot or Handshot or something like that, but he gave me a modded shield and a modded invisible gun which one shot everyone except for cramerax because you had to shoot the purple spots. My xbox glitched and my friends list was wiped and I never played with him again. Those were the days. My name on the 360 was really bad too. Poopierichie

I'm currently playing BL with my sis and were have fun with the dlc's and I am a revovler man my self and shotgun , because I like westerns lol.

cool video

Looks like we have something in common VP. We both love the Eridian Thunderstorm.

I miss the eridian guns in the first borderlands they should bring them back also the thunderstorm shotgun one is my favorite as well. but I also like the lightning bolt sniper kajigger thingy too

as long as you have a site it's pretty good guns that like the stock pistol have no sides of their invisible and it looks like you're holding a toy gun

... i didn't know there are that many Eridian weapons, have only seen 5 ... Thunderstorm is very nice, always carry one with Lilith for bandits ... Lightning served quite well too, at least in first playthrough ...

I remember back in the day of bl1! 😍

The thunderstorm is hands down the best and most satisfying eridian weapon in BORDERLANDS

The thunder storm is absolutely beast mode I have one for my lvl 55 Lilith and the shock is amazing

What is that scoped crimson pistol that you are using i never seen it

Only ever got Eridian Lightning and the cannon the Lightning's red text is "it feels like I'm going to break this thing."

I just beat Borderlands today for the first time, and I had two Eridian weapons in my quick select. A level 28 101001 Cannon, and a level 28 101001 Ball Blaster. They weren't very powerful, but they were a godsend when I ran out of ammo for my assault rifles and machine pistols lol. Man my Grim Rage chewed through those magazines lol.

I like the eridian sniper but if u have a technique u can kick ass with damn near all of them

I always loved getting the Sniper Rifle and Shotgun versions because the shock damage on those things... Oof!

In my opinion when it comes to eridian and making the most out of them you just HAVE to shoot til no charge, then SWAP to your normal weapon. I go crazy when waiting for the charge otherwise. But tbh I only ever used them to try max out my proficiency stats

Depends a bit... I would take Eridian Blasters over E-Tech blasters any day of the week, same goes for the Eridian sniper rifle-ish weapons, however I think I would prefer E-Tech Plasma casters(except from the bandit plasma casters) over Eridian blasters. They just deal a nice amount of damage, have good stats in general and because SMGs have such a massive ammo pool in BL2 the increased ammo consumption doesn´t hurt them as much. Also, I think at least some E-Tech launchers are superior to the Eridian cannons.

in my entire play through of borderlands one i saw 3 to 4 eridian weapons there just as rare as legendaries with the exeception of one that drops 100% of the time from that one mini boss and then thatd probably the first and last youll see of them for a awhile like a long long while i went through knoxes armory several times and i didnt see a single one

Honestly, I find the eridian sniper rifle to be one of the best to score crits consistently, although with a huge disadvantage of having low dmg compared to other snipers. The eridian sniper doesn’t require you to make predictions of where the bullet will go when you’re shooting a moving target. It’s like a gauss rifle, really - just point and shoot, and get a shock damage bonus if you thought that headshot wasn’t enough. Although near the endgame you’ll certainly need to deal more than one headshot to actually kill someone. Still, a nice gun that only suffers from low damage.

Good to know people still play borderlands the best game ever like if you agree

My experience with Eridian weapons from my initial play trough back in 09 was so bad that it prevented me from picking any other Eridian ever again. I never even considered Eridian weapons untill I watched this video. To me they were troll items meant to be sold as junk.

I remember before any dlc or anything on the ps3 when i had a pearlecent eridian weapon, what happened to that gun? I farmed for days after days to get it. It was the absolute best gun in the game, ive been searching for a vidoe on it but cant find it. But it used to be everywhere when the game first came out, what happened?

I recently started re-playing Borderlands 1 on my Xbox One and I am just now learning that legendaries and all those rare weapons are a thing in B1!???? I played it sooooooooo many times back on Ps3 and don’t remember getting any legendaries or anything like that.

The eridian weapons only got better with weapon proficiencies, which is kind of a shame too cause are suppose to be advanced in technology.

I think eridian and e-tech weapons should be modifiers to weapons like how moon grinding works cause I'd love an eridian lyuda that shoots the tracker rounds

I did not use them much, but in my opinion they were far in a way worse than even the standard purple weapons. They did too little damage, and took too long to recharge.

I love eridium weapons bc I have the shock blaster and my sister got the sniper rifle version and they are really op

I noticed there were a few things to add on functionality for this list that wasn't mentioned. So, "Heads Up": 1. the Cannon!: so shoot, melee, and immediately shoot again. ... O.O 2. the Stampeding Glob gun: corridor fights are great, shoot the walls/ground, it multiplies! 3. Magazine size abilities are best for these guns, IMO. Hi Roland! 4. In single player mode, is it just me, or do all these guns reload fully when you go to inventory, un-equip/re-equip?

Eridian weapons + top tier Tempest class mod on Siren = fucking brutal.

The thunder storm absolutely destroyed the destroyer in my first play through of Lilith. That's not saying much though bc the destroyer is easy af

Never played BL1 if I know BL2 pretty good and am in UVHM should I play it?

for the next fallout lore video, maybe do the various raider factions like the disciple, and sub factions like the forged.

Most of the eridian weapons suck but the eridian lightning has been a long-time favorite of mine.

They should bring back eridian weapons, and to fix the problem with having to wait for them to recharge,maybe have a quick time event to instantly charge them like in the modern battlefront games

I loved the alien guns and when I got my first and only legendary one the acid one I nearly shit my self as I didnt know the existed lol. And I love Etech from borderlands 2 even though they generally suck their just fun to use

the thunderstorm was my first eridian gun lol.

I have 2 things to say. first, I hope things get better for you VPG (vinlycpumagaming) and another thing. i hope in borderlands 3 they add back E-tech, lasers and Eridean guns just to add even more to the mix. and maybe make revolvers and repeaters be different again. like maybe Jakobs won't ever make repeaters and Dahl never makes revolvers. and then like Maliwan makes both and stuff

*Thinks back to Borderlands 1* Does it beat a Double Anarchy?

The Eridian Lightning is my favorite. I am a Mordecai main.

I don't like eridian weapons as much mainly because of accuracy.

Nothing beats the helix launcher and steel stinger.

I really like Thunder Storm. It's great aganist rakks.
