A few days ago, I posted on the Random Things thread (which is a gold mine of Borderlands 3 little known facts, by the way) about some apparently unreleased BL3 weapon skins I found on Artstation. After a little more digging, I think I found a few more, and perhaps other people might want to take a look at them.
Just to clarify, I didn’t datamine anything or whatnot, these are simply from public images posted on Artstation by official Borderlands weapon artists during the Artblast, back in 2019.
Atlas
Skin #1:
Skin #2:
Skin #3:
Well, this hexagon pattern is actually shown on a wide variety of weapon skins, but seeing it matched with the red color and the Atlas logo is new to me.
Dahl
Skin #1:
Well, this skin’s appearance’s really close to the one found on common/white weapons, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen the foliage/antler Dahl logo on any of them.
Skin #2:
Tediore
Skin #1:
This is actually the same skin as the one on the Creeping Death/Polybius, but sporting different colors.
Skin #2:
If you want to look for more, it’s really easy to find them on Artstation, as I said.
Also, I might be wrong on some of these (I don’t fully remember the skin of every red text gun in this game), so feel free to correct me!
As a final note, there’s a possibility that none of these were actually ever meant to appear in the final game: perhaps they only worked as WIPs/bases for the final skins.
