Guns, glorious guns. It’s what Borderlands is all about. You explode a bad guy and check to see if the gun that dropped is better than the gun in your hands. The guns in Borderlands 3 are stepping their game up a bit, and this time out, each manufacturer will have a different bonus trait that they offer on their weapons.

Borderlands 3 Weapons Manufacturers Traits

  • ATLAS – Step 1: Hit your enemies with tracker tags. Step 2: Unleash a hail of Smart Bullets that track towards your targets. Step 3: Loot!
  • COV – Enjoy uninterrupted damage-dealing courtesy of “infinite” ammo magazines, occasionally interrupted by unpredictable overheating.
  • DAHL – Toggle between alternate fire modes depending on your play style, your predicament, and your predilection for bonus damage.
  • JAKOBS – Deliver devastating critical hits to enemies’ soft-and-sensitives, then joy-puke as your bullets ricochet towards other targets.
  • TEDIORE – Toss your gun like a grenade to reload, then watch it pursue a nearby enemy as a fully loaded version digistructs in your hand.
  • TORGUE – Switch between regular and sticky-projectile fire modes. Stickies do more damage if a bunch of them detonate on the same target.
  • VLADOF – Augment these rapid-firing, ammo-hungry guns with under-barrel attachments including tasers, rocket tubes, and additional gun barrels.
  • MALIWAN – Toggle between two elements, charge your weapon and deal guaranteed elemental damage with your finger glued to the trigger.
  • HYPERION – Aim down the sights to take cover behind your weapon-mounted shield and keep your finger on the trigger for increased accuracy.

Borderlands 3 Weapon Ranks

Weapon ranks look like they will work the same way as in all the other Borderlands games.

  • Common – White
  • Uncommon – Green
  • Rare – Blue
  • Epic – Purple
  • Legendary – Orange

At the moment, we do not know if Borderlands 3 will have E-Tech weapons. All weapons will also have a level requirement before you can use them, so if you get something above your current level, you will need to grind a little before you can use it.
