GearboxInformation is starting to trickle out about Borderlands 3, which as of now, just seems like more Borderlands 1 and 2, which is totally fine by me. But the game is expanding in a few ways, namely for its loot it is now leaning even harder into the “brand bonuses” provided by each manufacturer that act as additional native perks to guns. Borderlands 2 used this concept with high elemental Maliwan guns, throw-as-grenade-when-empty Tediore guns, and so on. The most notable of these to me sounds like the Jakobs ricochet bullets which can bounce not just off walls, but off actual enemies. It’s hard to explain just how excited I am about Borderlands 3, and lists like these are only increasing that hype level.
