Make up your own Legendaries for the next BL!

Borderlands 2 BL2 General Discussion
#1

Okay, so this is just for a bit of fun.

Borderlands is filled with “Pop Culture” references with their guns. So why don’t we go ahead and make our own? Make up your own gun (try and keep it in the same format that I will be placing them in). We will compile a large list. I’ll categorize them but the pop-culture subgroup.

Here goes a few;

#2

For the Second Wind Gone scope, do you mean that it spawns “part_none” or “null”? (The difference being if it’s “null” it will not have reduced movement speed when ADS, like the Greed)

Suggestion:
(As an allusion to The Usual Suspects)
Name: (Not sure…)
Red text: How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss?
Manufacturer: Bandit
Weapon type: Pistol
Ability: Increased damage and accuracy. Decreased fire rate. Missing an enemy reduces your shield to nothing and sets you on fire.

#3

I want a reference to Cradle Of Filth goddamn it!!

I.e.:
The Cradle 2…
Red text:…enslave

Or something like that!

#4

What do you think of this.

Interrogation
How do you shoot the devil in the back?
Manufacturer: Bandit.
Weapon Type: Pistol.
Ability: Increased damage and accuracy. Decreased fire rate. Missing an enemy reduces your shield and sets you on fire.

What I like about the gun is it is essentially twice as valuable when you’re already in the weeds.

#5

I like it

#6

One I still seem to remember is a Bandit shield, forgive me for not using coloured text though.

Quicksilver
More of fire than blood.
Roid shield: instead of increasing melee damage when empty it increases movement speed/firerate/reload speed.

2 References in one item, yay?

Edit:
Leviathan
Legendary maliwan Launcher
Loyal servant after death
Increased projectile speed, decreased splash radius, projectiles behave like singularity grenades upon detonation.

Eit edit:
Gunkata
Dahl pistol
120% more efficiency
always five round burst wether sighted or not, hidden melee damage modifier (no blade attached), no movement loss when using the sight.

#7

Big Lebowski allusion:
Name: The Guy
Red Text: Did I mess up your carpet?
Manufacturer: Torgue
Type: Shotgun
Effect: Fires a single pellet. Explosion damages everything caught in blast including friendlies. Blast radius increased to the size of a nova.

#8

[size=17]Paciencia[/size]

[size=15][color=red]You better make it count.[/color][/size]

[b]Only 1 round in the magazine. Very high damage. Can spawn without a scope. If spawned with scope; very high zoom. High reload time. 93.5 Accuracy.[/b]

Made by Jakobs.

Sniper Rifle.

Round in magazine cannot be increased by BAR/Skill points/etc.

#9

Flakkception.

A Flakker that spawns other Flakkers in it’s flak that then shoot more flak. It’s a Bonus Package version of the Flakker!

Totally not a creative idea at all.

Carpetbagger Bombing
Quote: “I love the smell of napalm in Atlanta”
Manufacturer: Bandit
Grenade mod
Uses All of the grenades you have- each grenade used spawns 5 child grenades. In co-op will steal the grenades from other players until all are consumed. Friendly fire possible.

Cultural references: Gen. William T. Sherman and the Reconstruction Period of the old American South following the American Civil War and the 1979 American epic adventure war film Apocalypse Now

Bloody Anarchy
Beg for your life, or do you think you’ll be saved? Eh, what a fool… DIE
Manu: Bandit/Skav
Type: SMG
Ability: very low accuracy, 4 bullets fired at 2 consumed per shot, large® magazine, above average recoil. Basically, it’s a BL1 Double Anarchy SMG.

I stink at percentage math so if anyone would care to figure out if this is worth it (pun intended)?

Uncle Benny’s Wallet
Quote: “I’m STILL thinking it over!”
Manufacturer: Hyperion
Type: Legendary shield
Grants +.05% damage resistance per $10,000 (to a max of $60,000,000) and +.0125% shield capacity per $10,000 dollars (max $60,000,000). In co-op if another player enters FFL they automatically get a Second Wind so long as you have the cash (minimum $200,000 or 20%, whichever is greater)- this effect has a 30 second cool down and becomes inactive with insufficient funds.
(With a tip of the hat to @stuarthome3 for figuring out the math- thanks! :thumbsup:)

Cultural reference: American comic Jack Benny, whose radio skit is credited with one of the longest audience laughs in radio history. His comic persona was that of a miserly skinflint and penny pincher…

That’s a super low percentage… For the normal player (8 million dollars seems about fair for a casual player), that’d be .4 resistance, not enough to matter one bit. How about .05% for every ten thousand dollars? That works out to 5% per million, which is more reasonable. Also I’d put a cap on it of 300% on it (At that point the wearer would only be receiving 25% of damage dealt to them, because math and logic and Borderlands don’t go well together) which would mean the player has 60 million dollars. Now, for shield capacity, doing the same multiplication would be unfair, because that math works about the way you’d expect, which would result in a MASSIVE shield capacity… we’re talking 25% per million, which… no. But .0125% per $10,000 would grant 1.25% per million, and I’d cap that off at 60 million again for a 90% shield increase. I think that increasing maximum health in addition to these two would be more than ridiculously overpowered, but might also hinder players of higher levels (due to the way healthgate works). The Second Wind feature you suggested would be sweet, yes, but unless it charged 20% of your money (with a minimum fee of $200,000 and had an internal cooldown of thirty seconds or more, would be stupidly overpowered. All in all, though, I really like your idea for this piece of gear and would love to have it in the game. Keep being creative!
