Look out for karma vendors, some of them have nice skins.
Also if skins is what you are looking, use dulfy.net to search for weapons and how to acquire them. You will need transmutation stones to use those skins.
But yes, most of the “good” ones come at lvl 80
Zerk is the average Joe build. Don’t pat yourself in the back too hard.
