Borderlands 2 BL2 General Discussion

Oh my god that’s amazing. Giggling like an idiot here.

I want a tediore fastball-delivery reload, that would be hilarious…

The One
Tediore Pistol
“I Know Gun Fu” - When reloaded, acts like the Fastball grenade mod but with a standard explosion radius. Increased damage. Always 1.0 reload speed. Increased stability and accuracy.

Weapon material is unique - similar to standard Tediore purple-rarity guns in color, but with a pattern of green letters and numbers that moves as the player does.

(Reference - Neo in The Matrix, move from the 2000s)

I thought of this as a nod to the Forum community. Treat it as one of the “mission weapons” except it might be a pistol, shotgun, sniper, rocket launcher, smg, or assault rifle.

my weapon idea
The Leper
“jokes on you … i’m contagious”
Maliwan SMG always corrosive
Effect: when firing the gun deteriorates and releases a corrosive nova and you must switch guns

also quick side note borderlands 3 should have bows

#91

##FILM
Manufacturer: Vladof
Type: Grenade
Ability: Always corrosive DoT, larger AoE radius than normal, longer AoE effect time, enemies move at 50% speed (daze effect?), causes enemies to laugh
Name: Gas Attack
Red Text: Why so serious?

#92

Just because of a comment that Tannis makes when you are running the peak and open a chest. I am thinking a combo of a turtle, or hoplight shield, and rough rider.

Schrodinger’s quantum conundrum
Type: Shield
Red Text: Are you alive or dead?
Corrosive spike
When equipping shield you either gain massive shield capacity, and your health gets drained, or your shield capacity goes to 0, and you gain massive health. On rare occasion, the shield could actually give shield cap, and health.
Manufacture: Pangolin

Reference, Schrodinger’s cat theory— you will have to look it up.

I prefer “Don’t open the box” as red text/reference. Maybe have it extend/shorten ffyl time randomly too as well.
Might make it fall under cursed loot but whatever, being neither dead nor alive is a curse. You could change the current text to cyan/curse text perhaps and it’d fit fairly well IMO.

#94

The Broom
A legendary Scav/bandit rocket launcher
“Quite a sweep” shoots six rockets that come from the side of where your firing from
ps. how do you change text color

#95

Name: Indoctrination
Type: Legendary Hyperion shotgun
Red Text: “Time for some aggressive expansion.”
Very large magazine size and fire rate. While firing the user’s move speed and fire rate goes up drastically the more they lay into the trigger. Emptying the entire magazine while moving also grants a large reload speed boost.

The red text is a quote from the movie the Dark Knight, specifically from the Joker when he begins expanding his “team” after murdering a crime lord.

Sandalwood
For Gilead!
Manufacturer: Jakobs
Weapon Type: Pistol
Ability: Fire rate is always 2.0. High damage, +150% critical damage and -10% FFYL time for each Sandalwood equipped in the party. Never spawns with scope.

Reference: Roland of Gilead, the protagonist of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series, wields a pair of sandalwood-gripped revolvers said to have been made from Excalibur.

Zandatsu
RULES OF NATURE!!!
Manufacturer: Vladof
Item Type: Shield
Ability: Low recharge rate, high recharge delay. Melee damage bonus equal to percentage of remaining shield capacity. Critical melee kills restore 50% of shield capacity.

Reference: “Zandatsu” is an invented word for the video game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, meaning “cut and take”. “Rules of Nature” is the song that plays during the first boss fight in the game.

That is really cool. I need to look up that series sometime. Sounds like something I would be interested in.

#98

I guess this would go in a new miscellaneous category.

Million Dollar Gun
Is that your final answer?
Hyperion railgun.
Reduced damage. Unusually high fire rate for a railgun.
Critical kills add money directly to your inventory.

#100

Interceptor
Torgue Shotgun
That’s mine. - Increased projectile speed. When reloaded, creates an explosive nova dealing massive damage to enemies within range. Always spawns with Jakobs barrel. Weapon is painted sheer black, but with scuff marks and chips in the paintwork, similar to Sledge’s Shotgun.

Reference: Max Rockatansky’s iconic vehicle in the Mad Max movies. It’s usually rigged with explosives in case anyone tries to take it. Red text is a quote from Max in the new movie Fury Road.

Relic/“Other” Slot
Scrounging Looter
Hey you seen my gun?
Effect: Drastically ups chances to find loot (all sources, toilets, lockers, enemies, etc.)

#102

In that regard, you’ll need this:
Item: Fibber’s Closet
Type: Unique relic
Manufacturer: Dahl
\Red text: “Don’t open that closet Molly!”
Effect: as long as the relic is equipped you get an extra 10 backpack spaces. If the relic is removed the last 10 items added is converted into their cash equivalent.
Cultural reference- the American radio show Fibber McGee and Molly, which ran in various forms from 1935 to 1959

Clubber
Jakobs Relic
Red Text: You ain’t Nothin!
Effect: Gives the Player massive Melee damage, at the cost of losing health and speed over time
Reference: Rocky III- Clubber Lang

Guan Dao.
So many clay fowls, and mud dogs.
Manufacturer: Hyperion.
Weapon Type: Rocket Launcher.
Ability: It fires a single long pointed rocket that has a trail of fire. Higher than usual damage stats. Does a multiplier of the listed damage for every successive hit that does direct damage with a Badass/Boss opponent. Missing the opponent will cost 5 ammo.

A reference to the hero from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Guan Yu), famed for charging through enemy lines while ignoring the fodder, in order to strike down the opponent.

Cogito Ergo Sum.
Wait, come to think of it…
Manufacturer: Eridian.
Weapon Type: Relic.
Ability: Matching the manufacturer of an enemy gives you a 50% damage bonus, matching both the manufacturer and the weapon type gives you a 100% damage bonus. Matching neither gives you -50%.

Famous quote by Descartes.

#105

Name: Bouncer Bomb
Manufacturer: Jakobs
Type: Legendary Rocket Launcher.
Red Text: “Daddy wants to play.”
Fires a massive drill at such a high velocity that there is very little in the lines of an arc. Upon striking a large enemy (it goes straight through smaller enemies with ease) the drill latches on before beginning to bore into the target, dealing heavy damage over several seconds. If the target dies before the drill runs out of fuel it shoots to the nearest target (KOing smaller enemies and bouncing off them or piercing them if a large enemy is behind them) and latching onto them to continue dealing damage. Drills last for 12 seconds each.

If the drill hits an inanimate object and there is a nearby enemy, it will bounce off towards the enemy to latch onto them. If there are no enemies around it simply drops to the ground and becomes inert. Inert drills can be picked back up.

Refers to the Bouncer Big Daddies in the game Bioshock which exclusively used drills to attack enemies.

Ignition
Torgue Grenade
It’ll get you somewhere. - MIRV grenade, with 3 child grenades deposited to the left, right and front of the initial explosion. Increased radius. Reduced damage. MASSIVE KNOCKBACK.

If you don’t get the reference, you haven’t played Borderlands 2 long enough.

#107

Forgive me for not using coloured text.

Name: The Spectre
Equipment type: Pistol
Manufacturer: Hyperion, Maliwan or Dahl
Flavour Text: Don’t play the odds play the man.
Effect: When this piece of gear is equipped all percentage chance abilities became a 100% chance to proc but only when fighting the enemy type that is specified in the item card.
