* The status effect Daze in ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}''. Daze critically slows the enemy's movement speed and lowers their ability to aim by a huge amount. It also, inexplicably, cuts projectile velocity, [[PainfullySlowProjectile so their bullets travel slower]]. Lilith has a skill that can give a 25% chance to inflict Daze on each bullet she hits with. Her main weapon is a [[MoreDakka submachine gun]]. [[FriendlySniper Mordecai]] has a pet bird that can inflict Daze 100% of the time. The bird is computer controlled, so it never misses, and can attack up to nine different enemies in a row, along with inflicting other status effects. With the right class mod, the cooldown can even be reduced to a mere ''two seconds''. This game also has PvP combat. So yeah.
** In solo play, nothing comes close to a [[IncendiaryExponent Hellfire SMG]]. Most of these have high rates of fire and decent firepower. '''All''' Hellfires come with a 100% chance to ignite the enemy. Fire is by far the most damaging status effect, and the fire from a Hellfire can stack. A quick burst of sustained fire against a group of enemies can leave them dead in seconds with little ammo consumed. Hellfires are ''extremely'' effective when playing as either Roland or Lilith, who can both regenerate ammunition with the right Class Mod.
** It gets worse; Lilith herself is something of a gamebreaker. Combine her 25% daze ability with a Hellfire, crank up the damage and fire rate, then give her maxed out Phasewalk time, regenerating health during Phasewalk, and get the perk that cuts six seconds off your cooldown with each kill and reduces damage taken immediately after coming out of Phasewalk. The result? Even if you are reduced to almost no health, just hit Phasewalk, fully regen all your health (whilst moving at super speed, while both invisible and invincible, then when you reappear, gun down at least two enemies (who are going to be immediately dazed). By the time you finish killing the second enemy you can Phasewalk again and you won't have even taken any damage yet. It pretty much makes Lilith unkillable enough that she can solo ''Crawmerax'' with ease.
*** Pearl Shotguns if you like to use boomsticks. A sniper-esque shotgun in essence.
* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' has an exploit that lets you kill the storyline final boss, The Warrior, with ease. You start on a bluff with The Warrior in a crater below, which you need to leap down to start the fight. If you die, you're sent back to the bluff near an ammo vending machine, and The Warrior continues his attack pattern. To prevent you being able to shoot The Warrior from the bluff after the battle starts, a large shield pops up that blocks all shots. However, not only is the shield not tall enough to keep some shots from hitting the very top of The Warrior, but the cliffs surrounding the shield have cracks in them, letting you easily take potshots at The Warrior when he leaps to either side. Thus, you can just stay on the bluff and shoot The Warrior until he dies, with no chance of any of its attacks hitting you. You don't even have to worry about running out of ammo, since you start next to an ammo vending machine!
** The Bee and the Conference call combo. The Bee is a shield that boosts your damage provided you have full shields. The Conference Call is a shotgun that spawns additional pellets on hit or after traveling a certain distance. The two of them together allow people to solo the BonusBoss hands down.
** Love explosions? The Commando class with a Torgue weapon and perks geared toward gernade and assault rifle damage can find a weapon that in the inventory stats does 600, and in practice does upwards of 2000 damage with chest shots.
