Special edition starting weapons

[Out Of Bubblegum]

Is there somewhere that shows what weapons and extra gear you get with the special edition? As Axion, I have a pistol, rifle and sniper rifle in my possession. In the base game do you start only with the pistol you get from Claptrap?

Do you have yellow ones with a black gear cog on them? They're the bonus guns I get at the start.

Thanks. But more simple question. Am I supposed to start with nothing and get my first gun from Claptrap's home?

If you run around the ice flats in the wrecked train area at the start, before you go into CL4P-TP's "house", you might luck out and find a junker white or green gun in one of the bullymong ice piles.

Plus, it's always fun to stand a distance away from CL4P-TP just to hear him shout, "just follow the soothing sound of my voice!"

If you are going to ditch the starting weapons, you will have to include the Contraband Skyrocket and I think the relic as well, as both of them are also in the same pre-order bonus / special edition / whatever it is called.

Yes.

It's good enough until Knuckledragger. Knuckledragger will drop another white pistol, or the Hornet if you're very lucky. You get a white shotgun before leaving the level, and that's more than enough until you meet Hammerlock and start having access to green guns.

Thanks all. Yes I dropped all the extra stuff and just started with the pistol then the shotgun. The first mini-boss, Knuckledragger is doable by hiding in the tunnel.
