Today we're focusing on the gun manufacturers.  Of course, classic Borderlands weapons makers are returning, but we also have a look at the hacked-together firearm creations of the Children of the Vault (COV).  There are also new, easy-to-switch alt-fire modes, adding a whole new layer to combat. The newest addition to the gun maker line-up are the cobbled, industrial creations of the Children of the Vault.  They have unlimited ammo capacity, but the unlimited spray of bullets causes them to overheat. The Soviet-inspired Vladof line returns with its trade-off between low accuracy and high fire rate.  Under-barrel attachments for Vladof weapons include "tasers, rocket tubes, and additional gun barrels. "The Hyperion corporation's line of weaponry is back, with its sleek, futuristic styling and accuracy.  Aiming down the sights on a Hyperion weapon in Borderlands 3 generates a shield to help keep you out of harm's way. If you hate reloading and would rather throw your gun and have it explode, Tediore is the weapon maker for you.  It's also the company responsible for Borderlands 3's ridiculously awesome walking guns. Torgue weapons are proudly and unapologetically brutal in both design and in practice, with an alt-fire sticky mode.  Cover an enemy with a barrage of stickies and "do more damage" than a single sticky alone. Elemental damage is the name of the game with Maliwan weaponry, and you can "toggle between two elements" with your Maliwan munitions in Borderlands 3, then "charge your weapon and deal guaranteed elemental damage. "Pandora's largest maker of guns and other weaponry offers down-sight accuracy and their fire modes can be switched depending on you "predilection for bonus damage. "The god-like power of Atlas weaponry returns to Borderlands 3, now with Smart Bullet technology: "Step 1: Hit your enemies with tracker tags.  Step 2: Unleash a hail of Smart Bullets that track towards your targets.  Step 3: Loot. "The wild-west inspired Jakobs firearms return, famous for their classic styling and low-recoil.  Critical hits cause Jakobs projectiles to ricochet and deal damage to other targets in the vicinity.
