The question is, do you have to equip an Anointed weapon to get the perks it brings? The answer is, yes, as long as you equip Anointed Gear. Some perks relate to a class or ability, while others simply increase your attack power after using an Action Skill. Once you’ve reached the endgame, you will likely want to hunt down Anointed Weapons so you can get the perks they bring. You’ll know if your weapon is Anointed if it comes with a yellow title and a special Anointed skill.

Anointed gear perks are always active

Anointed gear has unique perks that cannot be switched out, which means that you can have the same perks on every piece of Anointed gear. The perks you get on Anointed gear will always be active unless you change your gear. For example, while using a shield, you will receive an extra charge of Rakk Attack when attacking. However, if you change your weapon while the shield is active, you will lose the bonus.

While some of the anointed gear has class specific perks, others are generic and offer benefits when your character is not wearing it. You will find anointed gear in the Sanctuary or in the Veteran Rewards vending machine, located near Crazy Earl in Ellie’s cargo bay. The cost of anointed gear is Eridium, which is a scarce resource in Borderlands 3. Fortunately, you can find anointed gear throughout the game, including in the endgame modes. While obtaining this gear will take some effort, it’s worth it.

They stack

Anointed weapons stack with a certain skill. This means that anointed weapons are not stacked with grenade mods of the same element. As a result, it’s important to use different items with different bonus elements when vault-hunting. In addition, anointed items may have other benefits that don’t stack with each other. For example, anointed items that reduce damage can’t be used with grenade mods.

The anointment is a secondary modifier that adds a specific attribute to an existing weapon. These modifiers aren’t expected to change gameplay, but some builds might benefit from it. Those weapons are only affected by the anointment when you use a shield, grenade, or gun. These anointments also do not stack with other skills. The cooldown rate of an action skill is also increased.

They stack with other perks

Anointed weapons are a good way to boost the effectiveness of your weapon. Depending on the type of anointment, the bonus to weapon damage may be up to 400% or up to 200%. This bonus does not apply to shields. In addition, your anointed weapons are not affected by other perks, so they stack. But if you want to maximize the effects of your anointed weapons, you’ll need to know how they stack with each other.

Anointed weapons can stack with other perks, but they cannot stack with grenade mods of the same element. However, anointed weapons can stack with grenade mods that have a different element. Unless you’re using grenades, make sure to use weapons with different bonuses when possible. For example, if you’re a vault hunter, you should look for anointed weapons that increase damage and reload speed.

They stack with legendary weapons

Anointed items have unique properties that make them special when used with action skills. Weapons, shields, and grenade mods are all examples of anointed items. They can spawn as world drops for players who have already completed the main story. Anointed items may boost damage or increase accuracy, or add a special effect to your character’s abilities when used with a specific skill.

Anointed weapons can have different effects depending on the class. For example, if you play a Vault Hunter, you might want to get a weapon that offers double corrosive damage. Then you could get an anointed weapon that doubles damage to boss enemies. Another example of an anointed weapon is Moze’s, which deals bonus incendary damage when active.

They drop in all loot

Anointed items are those that add secondary modifiers to weapons that already have those modifiers. However, the added functionality isn’t intended to change gameplay. For example, weapons with the condition “fireball” will only become active after the player kills an enemy with it. Another example is an assault rifle with a greater gun damage and reload speed. This gear is great for anyone’s class and is worth picking up.

In Borderlands 3, players can find these weapons and armor in the Sanctuary and at the Veteran Rewards vending machine, near Crazy Earl in Ellie’s cargo bay. However, it is important to note that anointed gear can only be bought with Eridium, a scarce resource in the game. Players should save up for these items before purchasing them. Anointed gear can also be obtained from endgame modes, including the Proving Grounds and Circle of Slaughter. However, they may be difficult to acquire and may require a lot of time.
