What iconic Borderlands weapons or gear to you want to see return in BL3?

Conference Call, Kitten, Layuda, Unkempt Harold and the sham schiele.
Would love to see an freezing version of the grog too

I’d like to see more Luneshine variations of weapons. I think that was a really good concept in TPS that could be broadened and expanded on. I think it would be interesting to include Luneshine variations of shields and grenade mods.

Anarchy from BL1.

Badaboom (My fav rocket launcher, I dont know why, it looks sexy) from BL2.

Not sure if it counts as an iconic weapon but I would like to see the variant weapon types return as well.

In BL1 we had things like the shotguns that shoot rockets and the anarchy SMGs that were basically a SMG shotgun

BL2 switched this up with E-tech weapons which in some cases had behavior modifiers that could even differ by manufacturer.

Not all of these variants behavior weapons were widely used by people but it added flavor and variety to the game. Bonus points if enemies in BL3 actually used weapons made by the loot generation system to add more variety or randomness to even general enemy encounters.

This, essentially.
Things like E-tech, Eridian, Seraph, Gemstone, Luneshine, etc weapons that almost certainly won’t be in bl3 would actually be really nice to have as possible loot. More variety of weapons = better weapons system imo.
I’d go so far to say they could even include ā€œoldā€ weapons, such as if you loot chests on Pandora you have a chance to find Hyperion/Atlas weapons of their original design.
It’s not really necessary at all since they certainly put a lot of thought into the guns already, but it’d be a nice little feature.

Probably not iconic, but I have a strong love for The Storm. It’s such a cool sniper concept.

I just found my first Double Anarchy as Lilith, so, I can say I’d enjoy seeing that.

Oh! And The Aries? That was a fun concept.

It’s honestly so tough. Because I love how many absolutely ridiculous different things pop up and I’m like ā€œThis Changes EVERYTHINGā€ and I play with it and it’s a whole new game for a while.

Ammo regenerating weapons and class mods. The BL1 ogre, Firehawk, defiler, thanatos, hammer. And Id love to see some original Borderlands pearls come back.

I’d like to see The Chopper make a return. Who doesn’t like a gun that fires every bullet in it’s magazine with one pull of the trigger! lol :laughing:

I want the Hive back. Preferably without having to farm for 130hours to get it again (but I’d do it again).

There has to be another sequel to the iconic high crit unique

With Roland wasn’t it possible to make the Chopper’s mag size exceed the max amount of combat rifle ammo you could carry with the top tier SDU?

Brilliant!
EDIT: Of course, it would move very, very slowly

Yeah, you could fire every last assult riffle bullet in you Storage Deck with a single pull of the trigger! But if you didn’t want to do that, all you had to do was interupt it.

BL1: Anarchy, Unforgiven (Properly redone since revolvers seem to be coming back this time), Defiler, Ogre (By Atlas this time), Maliwan Crux, Nemesis

BL2: Conference Call, Fastball, Nukem, Droog

TPS: A unique SMG/AR which would be a homage to the Maliwan Beams (with continuous damage and all)

I remember Gearbox asking what was your favorite weapon. I think it was a twitter post.
Called for the Florentine. Not really my ā€œfavoriteā€ but I really like the slag(nerf element)/shock combo.
Seem like all Maliwan will come with two (switchable) elements. So I’m served.

p.s. I think it’s extremely doubtful ā€œdual legendaryā€ would be back. Game balance being everything I prefer having stronger single legendary then having taking into account every possible combination.
Maybe they could be introduce as an end game gun builder mechanic? Nothing’s impossible but game wise I don’t see them as a benefit. More of an OP glitch.

Ladies best friend. Would be a shotty with an extra big bang! XD

I want easteregg legendarys ^^

Gjallarhorn and Icebreaker from Destiny XD Both weapons were not reimplemented in Destiny 2 and also limited to vanilla max level in Destiny as they were to powerful for the actual game ^^

So they kinda return if they would be implemented in Borderlands 3 :wink:

ā€œIf bungie don’t bring them back we do it!ā€ as red text and with theire unique effects 2 worthy Legendarys for Borderlands 3 ^^

Beside that give me an Infinite and a Bee Shield and I would be happy XD

Plasma casters of any type.
