One of the core mechanics of the gameplay of Borderlands 3 is elemental damage. These special damage types can be leveraged through a variety of means — you'll most frequently be using it by shooting elementally-charged weaponry, but there are also skills and explosive barrels in the environment that can cause elemental damage as well. Since each different elemental damage type impacts combat in a unique manner, understanding how to make use of each one in combat will make you a much deadlier Vault Hunter. Here's our guide to everything you need to know about the different forms of elemental damage in Borderlands 3.
Welcome back
On items of green or better rarity, you’ll start seeing elemental effects once you’re above a minimum level. If you happen to get incredibly lucky and receive a unique elemental drop before the minimum level for that effect to show up on drops, you’ll still get it. Element DMG gives you detailed information on elemental damage (which you can also find below); Weapon Rarities goes over the five different colours/rarities which you can find Borderlands 3 guns in; And finally, Useful Info/Tips is where I’ve added smaller but equally useful tidbits on Anointed weapons, weapon types, and more.

As previously stated, the different elemental damage types influence combat in unique ways. Here's what each damage type does, as well as some advice on how to use each one efficiently:
Corrosive damage up against an armored target.
![]() Bonus: Explosive damage
While explosive in Borderlands 3 isn't technically an element, its damage differs enough from the standard variety enough to make it worth touching on in this guide. Explosive damage refers to the damage caused by Torgue gyro-jet weaponry, grenades, and rocket launchers, as well as some Vault Hunter skills.
Explosive damage can stun-lock various enemies in the game if you hit them repeatedly. This is because the concussive blast of the explosions can often cause foes to stagger. This technique isn't as effective as cryo is, but it's still very useful, and it can be a fantastic alternative to cryo against shielded enemies that resist freezing. Explosions from grenades and rocket launchers that hit close to an enemy will sometimes even knock them off their feet entirely, which takes them out of the fight for several seconds and makes them a much easier target.
