Developer Gearbox Software has been gradually unveiling more details about the game, but this revelation marks the first look at a legendary weapon available before the title’s release on September 12.

Borderlands is famous for offering a vast array of firearms, each with unique characteristics. The new installment continues this trend, presenting billions of potential new weapons, ensuring players can experience a truly varied loot system.

Borderlands 4 Legendary Weapon

According to a post from a Reddit user named Winter_Ad_2618, a legendary sniper rifle called the Complex Root was showcased. This weapon previously appeared in Borderlands 3’s DLC “Bounty of Blood: A Fistful of Redemption.” The rifle is manufactured by Maliwan and boasts a special ability to shoot extra projectiles that deviate from the path of the original shot. Past Borderlands titles have typically kept such weapon details a secret, making this early insight particularly exciting for fans.

As more mechanics like the Licensed Parts System are introduced, players can expect enhanced customization and replayability in Borderlands 4, promising a fresh experience in the franchise.
