Finger guns
Red text: Pew pew!
Legendary Dahl pistol
Any element
As the name would suggest, this is not, in fact, a gun. The character holds up their hand in the shape of a gun and makes firing noises in their own voice. The bullets come out with light effects and the enemies start dying. Secondary effect switches the pistol to fire like an SMG with different sound effects by the characters. Respectable stats, high crit damage.
First time posting hope these seems good.

Interesting that you chose 4 skills for each of your class mods. They typically have 3.
Would love to see Doom Eternal’s Destroyer Blade, especially if it cut things in half, but that might be a bit much to ask. d:
Just realised my idea for an Atlas shotgun ended up sounding very similar to the Multi-Tap, which came out roughly a month and a half after my post. I wonder what other items I’ve suggested could have inspired now existing items.
And this ended up looking like the Fish Slap.
Robin’s Call.
Similar to the Muse com, with the Remnant orb being replaced with the Muse orb.
If Gearbox really is listening to this thread then that’s really cool. I wonder what other items might have come from community ideas.
The ABSOTRON 9000 made by Hyperion. Red text would say when your gun is not enough, Absotron the pride of Hyperion. The shield would be multifunctional a amp/ gun firing shield that would take the properties of the weapon you have in hand and add them to the Absotron. Have one vladoff NOW you have TWO. Have maliwan now you have a bubble of that element covering you at all times. But by any possibility the bubble is breached the mighty ABSOTRON would send forth a burst of the element from YOUR maliwan gun out in a sizable radius depending on the rarity of the gun and it’s chance to cause that element to enemies. Using the happy go lucky tediore? ABSOTRON has you covered there too! Depending on your rarity of your weapon bullets WILL be fired in MULTIPLE directions in a circumference as you travel! Bullets will bounce around hitting who and whatever comes your way! Ahh COV ENTHUSIASTS when you need your heat charged urge sated have no fear! Hyperion hears you the ABSOTRON can handle with blood curdling fury your need for mayhem! When holding your COV of your choice the mighty ABSOTRON again, depending on rarity releases FLAMING blades forth out before you! And if enemies get too close ABSOTRON much like your beloved COV with its heat sensor will will truly turn those enemies into roasted marshmallows! But beware there is a heat limit and much like your fellow Cov you can systematically torch yourself as well so use wisely! Ahh and our beloved Hyperion what can we say when you need ENHANCED performance out of your guns and nades the trusty ABSOTRON will improve damage accuracy range of all beloved HYPERION PRODUCTS! ABSOTRON the next level of Hyperion and we’ve only just begun…

I love the idea behind that Jakob’s pistol. Part of me wonders if it would be a better fit for a sniper rifle?
Some fantastic ideas there. I echo @vCarpeDiemv, that pistol effect sounds fantastic. I could almost see them adding it to a sniper, assault rifle and shotgun as well like they did with the Call weapons.
With the Self Distancing shield, I hope they get the damage right. Some damaging shields (Rectifier, Impaler, etc.) still do barely noticeable damage even after Mayhem scaling.
I just went with pistol because it felt right, it could easily apply to anything else, a vladof shotgun with a big mag and autofire could be fun too.
Unfortunately Vladof doesn’t make shotguns, but I guess the Monarch, Dictator and Lightshow are all close to this concept. Also, as a specific automatic shotgun, we could look to the Butcher but it’s made by Hyperion.
Name: The recruiter
Type: Grenade
Manufacturer: Hyperion
Drop: World drop, geneviv (whatever her name was)
Element: Shock
Red text: Ahh, fresh meat

Rockets Nova in each element randomly and have a significantly reduced projectile speed. Costs 2 ammo per shot.
N7 Vanguard
Red text: I should go.
Hyperion shotgun
Any element
This gun has decent accuracy, a one shot mag and low damage. Its unique perk, however, is what it’s all about. When you shoot a target, your character flies forward at incredible speed and smashes into that enemy, dealing heavy melee damage and creating an elemental nova matching that of the gun. As such, it can be slotted into melee builds to quickly get you up close to foes or it can be built around for a splash nova build (the limitation being the need to reload between every shot). Downside is this weapon would not work on airborne targets or ones who are out of reach of the terrain.
Name and red text reference the Mass Effect series.

3310 Brick
Red text: Knock, knock.
Tediore shotgun
Any element
When this gun is thrown, it does not break. It is indestructible. The enemy suffers heavy melee damage and is thrown back as if hit by a powerful shotgun blast. When held the gun will sometimes ring and different voices will answer the ring and taunt your enemies. Depending on gun parts, this can have mirvs, homing capabilities, legs. The name and gimmick are inspired by the “brick phone,” the Nokia 3310.
You would think after being the meme king phone there would be more Nokia 3310 references.
Edit : It would also make a fine melee weapon, nobody wants smacked with a 3310.
Name: D-70 proto-grenade
Type: Legendary grenade
Manufacturer: Torgue
Drop: Spendoptigon
Element: None
Red text: RANDOM EXPLOSIONS!!!
Effect: Upon contact with an enemy it will roll random damage of 1 to 1.000.000, upon contact with a surface it will instead roll a massive table of random effects, from spawning in driveable vehicles, to creating power-ups (like ammo, money, eridium & health & shield boosters), cluster bombs , spawning in random allies (regardless of faction, except bosses), flashbangs, explosions of mass destruction (ie. A nuke) or spawning in a pile of random anointed enemies (all of these are just the examples), can only spawn with the lobbed & random chaos mods.
Meant to be a reference to the cursed halo mod’s d-20 frag grenade that does most of the same things
Watch the youtube video “halo except it’s incredibly cursed” to get the reference
It’s also where i got the idea for my spelunker shotgun idea
Name: deadshot
Manufacturer: Hyperion
Type: sniper
Red text: Don’t forget to breathe
Effect: in normal mode, acts like a normal Hyperion sniper with a gun shield while ADS. The alternative firing mode, however, has no gun shield and increased zoom all the time (switching to this firing mode means you’re always ADS). Holding the ADS button will no longer zoom in, but will instead reduce sway to 0 and heavily reduce recoil, but you can only hold the button for a few seconds and as soon as you let go your sway is increased for a few seconds.
Basically you can hold the button to hold your breath, while sniping, like a lot of sniper focus games.
