Borderlands 2 Game of the Year Guide › Marcus' Munitions Monthly

Bandit

Bandit weapons seem to be built on a single philosophy (though admittedly, using the words “philosophy” and “bandit” in the same sentence may be giving them too much credit): more bullets equals more pleasure. Nothing’s worse than having to reload during a gunfight, so the bandits of Pandora jerry-rigged their own guns to make reloading virtually unnecessary. Bandit guns provide you with the largest magazine sizes found on Pandora. And also, tetanus.

Assault Rifles

Bandit-made assault rifles are slapped together, like most Bandit weapons, with two things in mind: shooting indiscriminately, and continuing to shoot indiscriminately. So you’ll find relatively inaccurate automatic weapons capable of emptying the same magazine for days. But that might be just what you want if you find yourself in close quarters or against fast, hard-to-hit enemies.

Rocket Launchers

The Bandits don’t have the tech expertise necessary to build stable missiles with guidance systems, but they’re handy enough at just making sure things explode—look to their suite of grenades for further proof. Their improvised rocket launchers fire several drunken missiles at once.

Pistols

Bandit-fashioned pistols have the largest magazines you’ll find on a one-handed weapon… some even sport a double drum-loader! All that weight and off-centered bulk on the firearm doesn’t do much to vouch for its steadiness, but that isn’t the point. If you need a weapon with which to hold the trigger down and hope the recoil carries you into contact with the enemy’s forehead, here you go.

Shotguns

Bandit-made shotguns are built with spread of gunfire and depth of magazine in mind. Reload times can be brutal, but hopefully the enemy will be dead by the time that becomes necessary.

SMGs

You’ll find that Bandit-made SMGs sometimes come with speedy fire rates, unlike most Bandit-made pistols and assault rifles. Bandit-made SMGs will also have the signature seemingly bottomless magazines the Bandit “brand” is known for, so these SMGs are some of the best spray and pray weapons you can get.
