Pistols

Atlas Aries

Weapon Type: Revolver
Possible Rarity(s): Pearlescent
Red Text: Your Life Is Mine
What It does: Always Shock. Bullets create Transfusion trails. Slightly increased damage.
Part that gives this effect: Accessory
Part Restrictions: None
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: This weapon can drop very rarely from Badass Lance Defenders and Crawmerax, aswell as found inside Crimson Lance Chests.
Extra Info:ONLY OBTAINABLE WITH KNOXX DLC This particular Revolver is a good weapon for a supportive character, due to the Transfusion rounds it uses and acts as a good offensive weapon because of it's damage bonus and shock elemental attachment, making it a very good, all round weapon to use as a Supportive Roland or a Pistolier Mordecai. That being said it is extremely rare due to it being a Pearlescent.

Atlas Revolver

Weapon Type: Revolver
Possible Rarity(s): Purple
Red Text: May God have mercy on my enemies, because I won't.
What It does: Slightly increased damage. Most parts restricted
Part that gives this effect: Grip
Part Restrictions: Barrel, Body, Magazine and Accessory
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain This weapon is a quest reward for the quest Bait and Switch. It can also drop from the unique enemy Queen Tarantella after the quest has been completed.
Extra Info: This weapon is a somewhat unremarkable revolver with predefined parts, causing it to always be purple. The only part that can be different on this weapon is the sight. It's best suited to being sold during Playthrough 2 (as fast as you can, no love is needed for it) due to increase in purple weapons in chests and stuff

Atlas Krom's Sidearm

Weapon Type: Repeater Pistol
Possible Rarity(s): Purple
Red Text: A gift from Papa Krom
What It does: Always shock. Fire in three-round bursts with increased fire rate while aiming down the sights.
Part that gives this effect: Barrel
Part Restrictions: Sight, Action and Magazine.
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: This weapon is obtained as a drop from Krom during and after the story quest "The Next Piece".
Extra Info: This weapon handles similarly to a burst rifle, although the burst can only happen while aiming down the sights. The downside to this weapon is a reduction in damage (dropped by 15%) and decreased recoil bonuses

Dahl The Dove

Weapon Type: Repeater Pistol
Possible Rarity(s): Green, Blue, Purple and Legendary
Red Text: Sometimes, I forget to reload.
What It does: Firing does not consume ammo.
Part that gives this effect: Barrel
Part Restrictions: Body, Sight, Action and Magazine.
Possible Legendary part: Hornet Accessory
How to obtain: It is obtained as a quest reward for the quest "Altar Ego: Godless Monsters" and can be dropped by the unique enemy Slither.
Extra Info: The unique effect of this gun makes it a good weapon to keep as a backup because of it's lack of ammo consumption, although this is counteracted by the fact that the gun will always spawn with mediocre parts. It should be noted that this weapon can spawn with a double accessory, which will negate the special effect, instead consuming one bullet per shot and making it act like a normal pistol again.

Hyperion Athena's Wisdom

Weapon Type: Repeater Pistol
Possible Rarity(s): Purple
Red Text: War is the final option
What It does: Increased accuracy and critical hit damage
Part that gives this effect: Barrel
Part Restrictions: None
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE SECRET ARMORY DLC! Reward for the quest "Loot Larceny"
Extra Info: Athena's Wisdom is a repeater pistol that boosts accuracy with a sneaky critical hit damage boost aswell and is known to be a "swatter" type pistol. Best used by players who want to be more precise, rather than going full force at the enemy

Hyperion Lady Finger

Weapon Type: Repeater Pistol
Possible Rarity(s): Green, Blue and Purple
Red Text: Omnia vincit amor
What It does: +100% crtical hit damage
Part that gives this effect: Barrel
Part Restrictions: Body and Action
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: Dropped from the grave of T.K. Baha's wife during the quest "Nine Toes: Take Him Down"
Extra Info: Another "swatter" type repeater pistol, but this one loses the increased accuracy (referring to Athena's Wisdom) and instead boosts critical hit damage by 100%. Best used against enemies standing out in the open, especially Nine Toes himself

Hyperion Nemesis

Weapon Type: Repeater
Possible Rarity(s): Pearlescent
Red Text: There is no excape
What It does: Always Shock with high shock chance, When a shot causes a shock explosion it will spawn extra projectiles with corrosive damage.

Possible Legendary part: Invader Scope
How to obtain: This weapon can be dropped very rarely from Badass Defenders, Badass Infantry and Crawmerax, as well as Crimson Lance Chests.

Maliwan Mad Jack

Weapon Type: Revolver
Possible Rarity(s): Blue and Purple
Red Text: Fools! They called me maaaad!
What It does: Bullets are always explosive and zig-zag and ricochet. Increased damage and fire rate.
Part that gives this effect: Barrel
Part Restrictions: Scope and Magazine
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: Drops from One-Eyed Jack
Extra Info: The Madjack is a lovely explosive revolver with quite the fire rate and damage, but also has zig-zagging bullets and also ricochet. The Madjack much more prefers the playstyle of spray and pray due to it's ricocheting bullets and substantial fire rate. Also good to use against large enemies as firing it into the ground will cause hits in places players never really intended on hitting

S&S Knoxx's Gold

Weapon Type: Repeater
Possible Rarity(s): Green, Blue and Purple
Red Text: Bling!
What It does: Slightly increased overall stats. Significantly increased sale price
Part that gives this effect: Material
Part Restrictions: Can only spawn with Barrel 3, 4 or 5
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: Kill General Knoxx
Extra Info: Being the unique that can change in any way, this weapon is the most unrestricted unique weapon Borderlands has to offer. However, if the weapon isn't satisfactory to your interest,

Tediore Chiquito Amigo

Red Text: Say "Hello"
What It does: Increased Magazine size, Fire rate and Recoil Reduction. Slightly decreased damage.

Sub Machine Guns

Tediore Bone Shredder

Weapon Type: Submachine Gun
Possible Rarity(s): Purple
Red Text: The lead winds blows
What It does:Has a double accessory and a high quality scope with a special effect of +4 rounds in a magazine
Part that gives this effect: Magazine
Part Restrictions: Sight, Barrel and Accessory
Possible Legendary part: Tediore Savior - Ammo Regen
How to obtain: Drops from Bone Head in the Arid Badlands during and after the story quest "Bone Head's Theft". It is also dropped in the Secret Armory DLC by Chaz in Lockdown Palace during and after the story quest "Prison Break: Try not to get Shanked".
Extra Info:The Bone Shredder can quite possibly be the closest and easiest weapon to farm due to the distance from Fyrestone and how easy it is to kill Bone Head. This weapon also comes with a bug and that is it isn't affected by the manufacturers so because it's Tediore, it doesn't reload as fast as it should, but it doesn't suffer from damage and accuracy either. It's possible for it to spawn with the Tediore Savior body which will give it ammo regeneration.

Hyperion The Spy

Weapon Type: Submachine Gun
Possible Rarity(s): Green, Blue and Purple
Red Text: I spy with my little eye...
What It does: Increases accuracy when scoped and +35% Critical Hit damage buff
Part that gives this effect: Sight
Part Restrictions: Restriction on Barrel and only 2 possible Stocks
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: Mission Reward for King Tossing. Can rarely drop from King Wee Wee in Playthrough 2.5 (End Game) if he isn't killed in Playthrough 2
Extra Info: The Spy is just a regular SMG made by Hyperion with a special buff of an increase in accuracy when looking down the scope and small buff to crit damage. The Spy can also be picked up after killing Dr.Ned in The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, though it is easily missed as it doesn't have it's original name or red flavoured text, Instead being called a RF440 Relentless Bruiser.

Dahl Typhoon

Weapon Type: Submachine Gun
Possible Rarity(s): Blue and Purple
Red Text: Phooon!
What It does: Bullets ricochet and after a period of time, will split into two more bullets in an outward zig-zag pattern
Part that gives this effect: Barrel
Part Restrictions: Cannot spawn with the Thumper magazine
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: Drops from the Unique enemy Typhon in the side quest "This ♥♥♥♥♥ is Payback". It should be noted that he only spawns once.
Extra Info: Only available in The Secret Armoury of General Knoxx! The Typhoon is a powerful, close quarters weapon which is perfect for enclosed spaces due to it's special ability. The bullets will split after a set time, even when ricocheted which does require practice and time as it is a technical weapon and hard to operate. Lilith's High Velocity skill will affect the time of the bullets splitting which will make it a longer distance before splitting so it's advised to not put points into it unless your in it for the ricochet bullets.

Maliwan Tsunami

Weapon Type: Sub Machine Gun
Possible Rarity(s): Pearlescent
Red Text: Flee the wave
What It does: Bullets have a chance to be either shock or corrosive, with both elements firing in an oscillating pattern but regular bullets fire in a straight pattern that ricochet. Also gives slightly increased damage and significantly increased accuracy.
Part that gives this effect: Accessory
Part Restrictions: None
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE SECRET ARMORY OF GENERAL KNOXX DLC! This weapon can drop from Badass Desperadoes, Badass Engineers and Badass Infantry. It can also drop from Crawmerax aswell as all other Pearlescent weapons. May also be found in Crimson Lance chests.
Extra Info: The Tsunami is quite the rare gun as it crosses it's elemental tech with shock and corrosive but the card will always show 4x Shock, hiding away the corrosive element that is inside it aswell. It's not so much as a technical weapon but one would need to ensure that one's enemies are not shock or corrosive resistant so the Crimson Lance units may become an issue. Note that it's only legitimate prefix can only be Cobalt

Shotguns

Dahl Jackal

Weapon Type: Combat Shotgun
Possible Rarity(s): Pearlescent
Red Text: This dog bites.
What It does: Acts like a modified Carnage shotgun, with the rocket fire in an arc. Increased accuracy and damage.
Part that gives this effect: Barrel
Part Restrictions: None
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain:ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE SECRET ARMORY DLC! This weapon can be dropped by Badass Desperadoes, Badass Bruisers, Drifters and the Unique Drifter Skyscraper. As with all Pearlescents it can also be dropped by Crawmerax and found in Crimson Lance chests.
Extra Info: This weapon can be tricky to use due to it's arcing projectiles, which limits it's effective range to a short distance. It should be noted that because this is a modified Carnage, if found with a elemental accessory, the elemental effect will not actually do anything.

Dahl T.K's Wave

Weapon Type: Combat Shotgun
Possible Rarity(s): Green, Blue and Purple
Red Text: Ride the Wave, Dude!
What It does: Shoots blue projectiles in a horizontal line that oscillate up and down and ricochet with extra critical hit damage
Part that gives this effect: Barrel
Part Restrictions: Accessory (never spawns), Barrel
Possible Legendary part: Bulldog Magazine
How to obtain: Complete mission "T.K.s Life And Limb" and occasionally dropped by Scar
Extra Info: T.K's Wave is quite an interesting design as it's firing pattern is a fixed "wave" look and due to it's ricocheting bullets, it can be very effective in tight spaces such as Sledge's Safehouse, making that particular area the best for the weapon. You can always reaquire the weapon at a later stage by killing Scar again which has a chance to drop it again. Aside from that, it does extra critical damage at the consequence of not ever having an elemental effect

Jakob's Sledge's Shotgun

Weapon Type: Combat Shotgun
Possible Rarity(s): Purple
Red Text: The Legend lives
What It does: +10000% Burst Fire count with +150% Melee damage and has very high knockback
Part that gives this effect: Barrel
Part Restrictions: All except Stock
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: Kill Sledge
Extra Info: My most favoured weapon (That's Arclyte :D ), the weapon is very powerful and designed to completely destroy enemies with raw damage. It's only useful at very close range to point blank so it's good when your down or up in people's grills (but kind of bad due to knockback, tactically speaking). It only fires two shots before reloading but some class mods and skills can up the amount of rounds fired before reloading.

Torgue Blister

Weapon Type: Combat Shotgun
Possible Rarity(s): Blue
Red Text: It's a painful thing
What It does: Deals extra damage with a predefined build with the corrosion effect
Part that gives this effect: Barrel
Part Restrictions: Accessory and Magazine
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: Complete the mission "Like a Moth to Flame."
Extra Info: The Blister shotgun is basically your standard corrosive shotgun with a tad more damage and just some average accuracy but it does carry Dahl characteristics (because Dahl do what they want). The weapon would be more suited to sell on the spot or use as a replacement shotgun if you somehow misplaced one of them

Torgue Boom Stick

Weapon Type: Combat Shotgun
Possible Rarity(s): Blue, Purple and Legendary
Red Text: Beyond Groovy
What It does: Fires rockets in six-round bursts every pull of the trigger and has no accuracy whatsoever
Part that gives this effect: Barrel
Part Restrictions: Magazine
Possible Legendary part: Friendly Fire accessory
How to obtain: Kill Baron Flynt
Extra Info: The Boom Stick (love the name) is exactly what the name refers to. It fires rockets but also fires it 6 times like a burst fire weapon. It's only downside is that it has no accuracy, but I hope you're not looking to get it to be accurate. It's perfect in a situation where you are down and swarmed by psycho bandits, making it a perfect weapon in close quarters situations

Combat Rifles

Atlas Ajax's Spear

Weapon Type: Support Machine Gun
Possible Rarity(s): Purple
Red Text: Useful for kicking Hector's b!tch a$$.
What It does: Increases damage, recoil reduction and Tech Level considerably
Part that gives this effect: Barrel
Part Restrictions: None
Possible Legendary part: Ogre accessory
How to obtain: Drops from Commander Ajax during mission "This B!tch is Payback, pt 2.". Can be farmed
Extra Info: This particular support machine gun is one of the best support machine guns East Coast Pandora has to offer if it has good parts to it. It's only little downside is it's smallish magazine size but this can be boosted if you have the right skills and character. It can come with a very rare Ogre accessory, making it the Ajax's Ogre rather than Ajax's Spear and also has a rare chance to spawn with a scope

Hyperion The Sentinel

Weapon Type: Burst Rifle
Possible Rarity(s): Green, Blue
Red Text: A watchful eye
What It does: Increased zoom and reload speed. Decreased accuracy
Part that gives this effect: Scope and Material
Part Restrictions: All but Accessory
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: Mission Reward from "Jack's Other Eye", Occasional drop from Rakkinishu.
Extra Info: This unique is quite lackluster, due to it's mediocre restricted parts and it's increased zoom while also having decreased accuracy. It's good as a spare weapon at low levels but not worth the time on playthrough 2 or 2.5

S&S Serpens

Weapon Type: Support Machine Gun
Possible Rarity(s): Pearlescent
Red Text: Poison in your veins
What It does: Adds 3x or 4x serpentine bullets and sports an increase in magazine capacity, lower recoil, increased damage, increased accuracy and an increased chance to proc
Part that gives this effect: Accessory
Part Restrictions: None
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: Can obtain from Bada$$ Bruisers, Drifters and Skyscraper and can also be found on Crawmerax and can be found in Crimson Lance weapon chests
Extra Info: The Serpens fires it's bullets in a serpentine patterns with 3x procs moving in a quicker and more wavy pattern and can also explode larger than regular corrosive bullets. Not efficient at hitting fast moving enemies (like Lance Rocketeers) but it excels in open areas with little cover and is best used against slower moving enemies like Devastators or turrets

Tediore Avenger

Weapon Type: Combat Rifle
Possible Rarity(s): Pearlescent
Red Text: Uncommon power
What It does: Gives a very high zoom, 50% extra critical hit damage, fires single bullets (semi-automatic) and has slow ammunition regeneration. Also has a large magazine, alot more damage, higher tech and a tighter spread when firing
Part that gives this effect: Sight
Part Restrictions: None
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: Has very slight chance to drop from Bada$$ Raiders, Bada$$ Lance Engineers and Bada$$ Lance Infantry and can drop from Crawmerax and can be found in Crimson Lance weapon chests
Extra Info: A very rare semi-automatic combat rifle, the Avenger is possibly one of Tediore's best weapons. While not as powerful as a sniper rifle, it's brilliant when hitting heads faster than your standard sniper and can even rival most of the best snipers on Pandora. And with Tediore's incredible reload speeds, the Avenger may aswell fire non-stop as it can fire as fast as the user can pull the trigger. It's a possibility that it can come with any elemental accessory, further boosting it's capabilities against enemies who aren't resistant to it's elemental power

Torgue The Meat Grinder

Weapon Type: Support Machine Gun
Possible Rarity(s): Green, Blue
Red Text: War is in your blood
What It does: Extends magazine and boosts fire rate while decreasing accuracy considerably
Part that gives this effect: Magazine
Part Restrictions: Barrel
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: Drops only on Jaynis Kobb and only appears during the mission "Jaynistown: A Brother's Love"
Extra Info: With a larger magazine and a slightly higher fire rate, The Meat Grinder is the best weapon to use against large enemies such as the Rakk Hive and Bruisers (or Bullies, depending on Playthrough number). It's generally used at close quarters aswell as this particular support machine gun sports a decrease in accuracy

Vladof The Chopper

Weapon Type: Support Machine Gun
Possible Rarity(s): Purple
Red Text: RAR! BRAR BRAR!
What It does: Unloads entire magazine with a single pull of the trigger unless interrupted and fires 4-round spreads with an ammo cost of 6
Part that gives this effect: Accessory
Part Restrictions: Magazine
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: Accept mission "Little People, Big Experiments" and kill Motorhead. Can be farmed
Extra Info: The Chopper is a unique weapon that has a lesser chance of dropping when you kill Motorhead even when farming. It's quite an interesting gun as it's impossible for any ammo regeneration bonus to keep up with the fire rate of the gun and can fire more bullets than your top ammo count for combat rifles (A max of 1120 bullets from an SDU). It's also possible to "run and gun" as once you start firing, you can then sprint to a different location while continuing to fire

Sniper Rifles

Atlas Kyro's Power

Weapon Type: Pump Action Sniper Rifle
Possible Rarity(s): Purple
Red Text: Good Touch
What It does: Uses explosive transfusion trails and has high damage
Part that gives this effect: Accessory
Part Restrictions: None
Possible Legendary part: Cyclopes scope
How to obtain: Kill Commander Kyros during mission "This B!tch is Payback pt1"
Extra Info: This powerful sniper rifle is probably the best supporting sniper due to it's transfusion bullets. When fired, transfusion trails come out when struck and heal other players or yourself. It's extrememly useful if your entire party of players like to get up nice and close to the action but without the transfusion power, it would just be a standard sniper with exceptionally high damage

Dahl Nailer

Weapon Type: Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle
Possible Rarity(s): Blue
Red Text: Thwack!
What It does: Slightly increases damage dealt
Part that gives this effect: Barrel
Part Restrictions: Magazine, Sight, Body
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: Complete mission "House Hunting" and occasionally drops from Bleeder when quest is completed. Can be farmed
Extra Info: While this semi-auto sniper does more damage than a regular one, it's part restrictions won't let it become an exceptional sniper but can spawn with any accessory or stock

Dahl Reaver's Edge

Weapon Type: Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle
Possible Rarity(s): Blue and Purple
Red Text: The cutting edge
What It does: 3.2 Weapon Zoom with +2 additional magazine size and a high tech level
Part that gives this effect: Scope
Part Restrictions: None
Possible Legendary part: Penetrator barrel
How to obtain: Drops from Reaver
Extra Info: Consisting of a very powerful scope (second to the Cyclops in magnification), this makes it a difficult weapon to use in close or medium range combat, however, there may be any different types of parts that can improve or downgrade this weapon in any way but the scope

Gearbox Rider

Weapon Type: Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle
Possible Rarity(s): Green and Blue
Red Text: Careful... you might put someone's eye out.
What It does: Has a magazine size of 20 with a high fire rate, but at the cost of the scope and reduction of base damage
Part that gives this effect: Magazine
Part Restrictions: Sight, Body, Barrel, Stock
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: A very small window of opportunity in Playthrough 1 and 2 and can be found in a secret location in New Haven which is behind a door behind Pierce's building. Take the elevator down to encounter a group of enemies and several different chests with one of them containing the Rider
Extra Info: Another weapon without a scope, this particular weapon is frequently regarded as a poor weapon choice as it doesn't do much damage at all and is more of a semi automatic combat rifle than anything else, however, it can be a collector's item as it has been made by the manufacturer Gearbox

Jakobs Bessie

Weapon Type: Pump Action Sniper Rifle
Possible Rarity(s): Pearlescent
Red Text: That's my girl...
What It does: 500% critical hit damage, very high damage, 100% accuracy when zoomed with increased bullet velocity and a 2.8x scope identical to the 2.4x scope
Part that gives this effect: Scope
Part Restrictions: None
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: Can drop from Bada$$ Desperadoes, Crawmerax and can be found in Crimson Lance weapon chests
Extra Info: The Bessie does more critical damage than any other sniper. The Bessie shouldn't be chosen for accuracy as it has the best scoped accuracy out of all snipers which means missing would be caused by a user error. It can even destroy an enemy (even Bada$$ enemies) in one hit if the bullet was to hit a critical spot on an enemy and can even destroy a limb on Crawmerax with a well placed, well timed shot on one of his critical locations

Jakobs Whitting's Elephant Gun

Weapon Type: Pump Action Sniper Rifle
Possible Rarity(s): Green, Blue and Purple
Red Text: Why don't you go shoot yourself an elephant?
What It does: No actual scope, with increased damage, knockback and fire rate.
Part that gives this effect: Scope
Part Restrictions: Barrel, Stock and Magazine
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: Mission Reward for "Big Game Hunter". Occassional drop from Skagzilla.
Extra Info: This weapon is a very strange weapon to use due to it being the most powerful non-crit single projectile weapon in the game, With the Bessie being able to do more damage with a crit, yet the Elephant gun doesn't actually have a scope. This means that while it may be difficult to aim due to it's tiny iron sights, a well placed shot can hit for tons of damage.

Rocket Launcher

Maliwan Roaster

Weapon Type: Rocket Launcher
Possible Rarity(s): Blue, Purple and Legendary
Red Text: Gonna cook someone today
What It does: It will always be an incendiary rocket launcher
Part that gives this effect: Accessory
Part Restrictions: Accessory
Possible Legendary part: Maliwan Rhino barrel
How to obtain: Can be obtained by killing Taylor Kobb during his quest
Extra Info: This rocket launcher is nothing special except that it always comes with an incendiary effect. It's just as good as any equivalent rocket launcher but it will never be better. However, it may spawn with a Rhino barrel which will improve it's effectiveness against enemies and it's colour shades are black rather than the typical Maliwan colours

Torgue Leviathan

Weapon Type: Rocket Launcher
Possible Rarity(s): Blue, Purple
Red Text: It rises!
What It does: Rockets have been subjected to gravity and has larger magazine, high fire rate and a faster reload speed
Part that gives this effect: Barrel
Part Restrictions: Body, Sight
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: Complete "Wanted: Fresh Fish.", can drop from Rakk Hive in Trash Coast and can drop from Rakk Hive-Trap in Scorched Snake Canyon in Claptrap's New Robot Revolution
Extra Info:The Leviathan fires rockets that are affected by gravity, so it arcs slightly towards the ground instead of flying straight like most rockets. It could even be treated as long range impact grenade. Due to it's low quality parts, it may not be as effective as you would like it to be. If your not really looking for the Leviathans special ability of gravity affected rockets, then look somewhere else for a rocket launcher

Torgue Undertaker

Weapon Type: Rocket Launcher
Possible Rarity(s): Pearlescent
Red Text: Take 'em UNDER.
What It does: Greatly increases magazine capacity and damage and fire rate with a slightly increased blast radius
Part that gives this effect: Barrel
Part Restrictions: None
Possible Legendary part: None
How to obtain: Kill Bada$$ Rocketeers, Bada$$ Infantry, Bada$$ Bruisers, Drifters and Skyscraper. Can also be found on Crawmerax and Crimson Lance weapon chests
Extra Info: Containing an exceptionally powerful barrel, it can never have a Helix, burst fire or spread barrel. The Undertaker is most likely the best rocket launcher in all aspects. Although the Redemption has more damage per shot, the Undertaker only consumes one rocket per shot. Heavy Gunner Roland can benefit from this as he would be firing rockets at a very alarming rate

Conclusion

Well, now you quite possibly know all the Uniques and Pearlescent weapons East Coast Pandora has to offer so get out there and liquify them bandits!

Sorry, this IS old, but so is the game, I was wondering if you had a guide relating to other weapons by 'gearbox', as the rider is NOT the only one in game, they should be in this guide, as they are unique, and are from the secret armory of general knoxx, like some others you have in here, if you don't care about this guide at this point, Don't answer or something.

[wut?]

You're missing the rose, omega, iroclad, cracked sash, and wee wee's super booster

[N0P3]

BTW - nice work on the weapons drop guide.

[N0P3]

Could be wrong, but I remember getting a Pearl Ogre in the Underdome (but it has been awhile so maybe not). Pearl Ogre was a combat rifle, red text and did blast damage - used it for a long time until I got all achievements for BL1 then gave it to another player who just started. Also had numerous pearl shotties drop from those giant spiders in Knoxx DLC in the desert by the prison.

[plop]

Hey great guide keep it up with all the great guides. If you dupe I really need the Pearlescent Tsunami. I have been farming forever, but if you can't dupe, I don't care, iI was just wondering. Thanks!

[Eemyoo™]

Thanks shotgundiplomat1993 and SounterShift for pointing out the missing weapons, fixed that and hopefully not missing anymore.

[NoulaJack]

Oh and Whitting's Elephant Gun

[NoulaJack]

Don't know if still relevant, but you missed the unique The Sentinel, obtained after completing the mission Jack's Other Eye for Helena. Aweomse guide btw! Very useful.

[shotgundiplomat1993]

I think you missed a pearlescent: the Hyperion Nemesis

[Neb]

we need more like this :D ! keep it up
