The variety of guns in the Borderland franchise has always been one of the major selling points. Between types, abilities and customizations, players are never at a loss for something to mow down the bad guys with. Now it seems there will be more weapons than all to sift through in Borderlands 4.
In an Epic Games feature, Borderlands 4 Art Director May has said there are more than 30 billion guns to try out in Borderlands 4. That may seem like a heaping helping of hyperbole, but apparently it’s the stone-cold truth. May says this number is possible through procedural generation, which leads to combos of different parts, the bodies and attachments. When you stumble upon a box waiting to be looted, you really have no clue what’ll be hiding inside.
Weapons manufacturers in Borderlands 4 include Daedalus, Jakobs, Order, Ripper, Vlador, Torgue, Maliwan, and Tediore, and they all have their specialties. Then there are the types, be they pistols, assault rifles, shotguns, snipers, or SMGs. Then you have attachments, firing modes and so on. You can really customize all day long in Borderlands 4, and you might actually happen upon a combo no one else out there is using.
