Borderlands Guns in TFTB Masterpost [NEEDS EP 3]
I've noticed that TFTB has really gone a long way to get as many details accurate as possible. After completing Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, I finally got the legendary Conference Call for the first time, but something about it looked familiar. Then I realized that the nomad kidnapper is actually holding the same gun in TFTB. I went through the episodes again and put together a list of all the weapons and their BL counterparts. There's bound to be errors or something missing, so comment if you see something. There were also a few guns that I couldn't recognize for the life of me, but this list is a decent place to start. I'll update as more episodes come out.
Episode 1: Zer0 Sum
- The nomad kidnapper is holding a legendary shotgun, the Conference Call, arguably the best gun in the game. (Also, small error: in BL2, the gun fires 5 bullets for every one shot, while when the kidnapper fires his weapon in TFTB, it seems to fire only one.)
- Vaughn references buying a Reaver's Edge if he gets a promotion, a Dahl sniper rifle.
- In the opening sequence, the sniper is holding the legendary Jakobs Skullmasher.
- Loaderbot uses the legendary Hyperion Quasar grenade mod.
- The nomad bandit that hides behind the port-a-potty door wields a Mashine Gun.
- During the fight, a bandit is duel-wielding two Unkempt Harolds.
- Sasha's gun is a Maliwan SubMalevolent Grace SMG.
- August's pistol is a Jakobs Widow Maker.
- In the chariot race, Zer0 appears to use a Hyperion sniper rifle, Jericho.
- Vaughn uses the Bandit shotgun Oberkil! to shoot the truck-driving bandit.
- Felix uses an Iron Jakobs pistol, possibly the Unforgiven. (Fitting, huh?)
- After the race, Rhys picks up a common Tediore shield.
Unconfirmed Guns
- Several guns in the Loaderbot/Bandit fight; I saw some assault rifles and maybe a Vladof rocket launcher.
- Tector Hodunk's gun; looks like a Dahl pistol?
- The bandit that talks to Fiona and Vaughn is holding a red assault rifle. (Probably the same gun that a bandit is holding in Rhys' dream plan.)
Episode 2: Atlas Mugged
- Vasquez's 'most advanced gun ever made' resembles Development, a common Hyperion shotgun.
- Kroger seems to be using a variant of the Hornet, a legendary Dahl pistol.
- Finch uses the Unkempt Harold, a legendary Torgue pistol.
- In Old Haven, a bandit is holding a Longarm Jakobs pistol.
- Another bandit holds a Scarab Jakobs assault rifle.
- Later, Vasquez is seen with a Hyperion pistol, either a Vision or a Leverage.

Cool list! As you said, I think the attention to detail is a nice touch on this series.
I find it funny that in this entire post the Atlas Silver wasn't mentioned once XD.
I want Kroger's pistol. It was so funny seeing him get hit by Sasha with the pan and just start shooting everywhere.
As far as I know, there are no unique/legendary Atlas SMGs in BL1; there aren't even any Atlas weapons in BL2 or TPS. When/if Borderlands 3 comes out, I expect a reference to the Atlas Silver!
Most advanced Hyperion weapon ever designed.
Uses Torgue barrel.
Awesome post! I caught a few of those, but missed some. It's really cool that you took the time to make such a detailed list. I'll be following this for sure.
If I had to guess, I'd say that Kroger's gun is a Vladof pistol. Fully automatic bullet hose. Like I said though, just a guess.
Yeah, it looks similiar to the TMP and some variants of the Assassin, but I've yet to find something that really clicks. Kroger's pistol also has these weird orange dots and I can't find any guns with similar markings. The worst part is, I swear I recognize the gun from one of my old BL2 playthroughs, I just can't put my finger on it.
What if it is actually a Hyperion made barrel but just modeled after the Tourgue barrel because Hyperion doesn't really care about stealing? Would it be a Torgue barrel then?
I've never made a forum post before, but a coworker pointed me to this thread. I'm a concept artist on TFTB, and it makes me so happy to see that people notice stuff like this - the team works really hard to be faithful to BL with our guns. Thank you for your sharp eyes!
I should be thanking you for making such a great game! The little things really do make the game, it's like a treasure hunt!
kroger pistol seems to be some modified dahl pistol
it seems to have similar barrel to the legendary hornet http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Hornet_(Borderlands_2) with a common repeater pistol skin http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Repeater_(Borderlands_2) and a bandit mag
I want the Bane to show up at some point.
You outta go to @puzzlebox and get your TellTale staff thing.
It even has those weird dots on it! I'll add Hornet to the list. It makes me think how Finch and Kroger both got their hands on legendary weapons.
BUMP! It might be a day or two before I can comb through a playthrough and find all the guns from Episode 3, but if anyone spotted any, post a comment. I definitely saw a fair share of legendaries.
