Insane Weapons

> 1 / 10

To put it mildly, Borderlands 3 features a mind-boggling number of weapons to use against your enemies. And some of these weapons look, and sound, well, insane.  According to Gearbox, Borderlands 3 features over a billion guns. There are a core set of weapons, but each will come with a different set of properties. We don't have a full list of weapons just yet, but here are a few things we know thus far. We know there is a brand new elemental damage type called Radiation. According to Gearbox, it replaces the "slag" damage type from the previous games.  According to Randy Pitchford, Radiation is a nuclear radiation effect and has a similar effect to slag (increased vulnerability by those affected) and a damage-over-time component. There are also some outrageous guns in Borderlands 3. So far, we've heard about a gun that you have to start up like a lawnmower, a gun that turns into a bouncy bomb when thrown, and a rocket launcher that fires hamburgers. So, just in case you were worried, there won't be a shortage of guns to equip, customize, and use against your enemies.
