Weird, Wacky, Wonderful Guns
87 bazillion guns in the game, and it was that promise that amazed me when I first heard of Borderlands.
With the early previews, we got a good glimpse at how wacky the loot can be in the game. Teleporting grenades. Life-giving grenades. Infinite ammo guns. Shields that explode when they go down.
Now, the game is out for consoles... I gotta ask if anyone else has gotten anything else weird, wacky and wonderful.
- I keep thinking about a rapid-fire sniper rifle, something that can deplete shields than deplete health in two seconds or so. It's still somewhat accurate even when pumping out shots... I admit that this isn't too weird, though.
- Any vampiric guns? After seeing brandon505's life-giving grenades, I wouldn't be surprised to see guns that stole life from their targets. I'd love to have one of those.
- Remember the 3-second-tag-then-vaporize gun Randy Pritchford was saying?
Post your weird, wacky wonderful guns here. No posting anything "ordinary"!
I found a couple:
- An SMG that shoots 8 bullets per shot but has low damage, kind of reminded me of a 3D spread gun XD
- An assault rifle that shot reflecting bullets
- A scoped pistol that had the same function as the smg above but with a semi automatic fire rate instead of automatic.
DL21 Brutal Masher (Revolver)
Damage: 30 (X7)
Accuracy: 72.1
Fire Rate: 1.0
+ 24% Reload Speed
-6.4% Damage
Holds 6 bullets.
It has a really nice tight group shotgun effect to it, as well as being a strong pistol. Found it pretty early in the game.
cant remeber what its called but i got an epic (purple) drop off a mob (no badass) and it was an honest to got shot gun that shoots rockets!!! cant remeber the name at school right now. may post it when im home
I found a combat rifle called the AA War Pounder. It fires one bullet at a time and only has 6 shots to the magazine, but it does like 94 damage and has a high rate of fire, along with a 1.4X Zoom scope It basically acts as a quick-firing sniper rifle, except it's not actually a sniper rifle and is fairly inaccurate at long ranges.
I also found an electric revolver called the MAL11 Lightning Law, and has a X3 lightning effect. It only does 70 damage but it takes almost any shield out in one or two shots (even Sledge's shield). It also has an awesome 2.8X zoom scope. I've been finding it more useful than my other revolver that does 130 damage.
Some very interesting guns have come into my possesions today. The first is the SG31 Terrible Carnage. It's a shotgun that shoots rockets! It did some pretty good damage. I sold it when I found the exact same gun again, but with much better stats. Only thing is the rockets it shoots are kind of slow and the rockets spread out all over the place. Either way, cool ass gun.
Torgue SG31 Terrible Shotgun
Damage - 194
Accuracy - 51.3
Fire Rate - 1.3
Capacity - 6
I also recently found a rocket launcher that shoots 3 spiraling rockets at once. If all the rockets land, it does some MASSIVE damage.
Torgue SPC10 Steel Rocket Launcher
Damage - 331x3
Accuracy - 88.8
Fire Rate - 1.0
Capacity - 3
1.9 Zoom Scope
That's about 3000 damage if you can land every rocket you shoot.
And last, I finally got a revolver that shoots shotgun shells! Or at least it shoots seven bullets at once. This thing is great and can take off limbs with ease.

i found a 6 shot rocket launcher. shoots a whole clip in one triger pull. it was a great solution to mad mel.
i have that same gun but it does 40 (x7) its beast
Also found a Terrible Carnage the other day. Its great. Its my go-to close range weapon right now. I've found that aiming at the mid torso to feet is more accurate than trying to score a head or body shot. It basicaly acts as a short range grenade launcher and has some effective splash damage as well.

I got rapid fire explosive sniper rifle does that count
