Tidal Wave

**Tidal Wave** is a Unique Coach Gun shotgun in Borderlands 2 manufactured by Jakobs. Tidal Wave is obtained from the mission **Uncle Teddy** located in **Arid Nexus - Badlands**, by mailing the blueprints to **Hyperion** instead of Una.

## Special Weapon Effect

**Flee the Wave, Dude!** – Fires 13 horizontal slow moving projectiles in a wave pattern that ricochets off of surfaces once if it does not hit an enemy.

## Advanced Usage

(this section has been intentionally left blank - the community can edit this page and add their own tips and tricks on how to use this weapon.)

## Trivia

* This gun and its flavor text are a nod to the shotgun T.K's Wave and its **Ride the Wave, Dude!** featured in the first *Borderlands*. Its double barrel construction also resembles the shotgun used in TK's introduction from the first game much more than T.K.'s Wave, given to the player by Baha as "his shotgun".
Veruc

**Veruc** is a Legendary Carbine assault rifle in Borderlands 2 manufactured by Dahl. Veruc is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source but has an increased chance to drop from **Mobley** located in The Dust.

## Special Weapon Effect

**I want that rifle, Daddy!** – Fires 3 projectiles at the cost of 2 bullets in a horizontally linear spread.

## Advanced Usage

As with all Dahl weapons in Borderlands 2, the Veruc has burst fire when zoomed. However, the special effect's spread is influenced by whether the user is zoomed or not. When zoomed, the spread reduces with every round fired, ending with all three bullets hitting the same spot on the last shot in the burst.
Due to this, it is surprisingly effective at dealing with charging targets, or enemies that are otherwise in close range, as all three projectiles will strike the target. It's still worth noting though, that the Veruc still possesses the accuracy and burst-fire mode of other Dahl rifles. Thus, it still retains its usefulness at medium range as would a normal assault rifle, due to the center projectile still flying straight versus the left and right projectiles.

The Veruc's spread also has a tendency to, at certain ranges, hit three critical hit points of the more common loader variants - both arm joints and the eye - simultaneously.

## Notes

* In **BL2: Exodus**, Veruc has an improved skin.

## Trivia

* The name and flavor text are a reference to Veruca Salt, one of the children from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Veruca has a line in the movie adaptation similar to the flavor text where she says "*Daddy, I want a squirrel*". Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was written by Roald Dahl, who shares his surname with the Veruc's manufacturer. The name and class of the weapon, (Veruc assault rifle), is also a homonymic pun.
Pun-chee

**Pun-chee** is a Seraph maylay shield in Borderlands 2 manufactured by Bandit. It can only be obtained from trading with the **Seraph Vendor** in the **Badass Crater of Badassitude**.

## Special Shield Effect

## Notes

* In **BL2: Exodus**, Sledge's Shotgun has an improved skin.

## Trivia

Punishment

* Uncommon
* Rare
* Very Rare
1/3
**Punishment** is the title of a group of common rocket launchers in Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and are manufactured exclusively by Maliwan and features the Torgue barrel. Punishment is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source.

## Advanced Usage

The Punishment's Torgue barrel significantly increases the damage of the launcher but the rocket moves slower and has an arc, limiting its range.

## Notable variants

### *Borderlands 2*

* Scourge – Legendary slag rocket launcher which fires a single arcing rocket that will cause a slag nova on impact, sending out homing projectiles.
* Hive – Unique corrosive rocket launcher that fires a hive rocket which releases additional rockets.

Striker

**Striker** is a Legendary Longrider shotgun in Borderlands 2 manufactured by Jakobs. Striker is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source but has an increased chance to drop from **Old Slappy** located in The Highlands - Outwash.

In Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Striker can be obtained from grinding weapons with the **Grinder** in **Concordia**.

## Special Weapon Effect

**Fandir? Thirteen.** – Exceptional accuracy and minuscule spread. Increased Critical Hit Damage.

## Advanced Usage

Perhaps even more accurate than it was before, the Striker also keeps its bonus Critical Hit Damage but at the cost of very high Recoil - if unscoped, subsequent shots fired may miss the intended target completely. The nature of its accuracy further reduces its usefulness, as the Striker's tight spread will stray about the crosshairs as one group, a rather hit-or-miss behavior compared to other shotguns' random deviations of every pellet.

* **Zer0** gains little benefit from using the Striker when compared to an equal-level purple Scattergun, as his skill-based crit bonuses stack poorly with the weapon's inherent crit bonuses.

* It is, however, a good match for **Salvador**, as it can do all or most of its damage at considerable range, even while hip-firing.

* **Gaige** can also make excellent use of a Striker with an *Anarchy* build. The naturally small Magazine Size, coupled with the reduction from *Smaller, Lighter, Faster* can get the Magazine Size down to 1, gaining a stack of Anarchy after every shot. The high accuracy can also help negate the accuracy penalties suffered by Anarchy. The gun can also prove useful for Gaige when paired with the *Shock and "AAAGGGGHHH!"* skill as the shock novas created by the skill will be generated near-constantly.

## Notes

* In **BL2: Exodus** and BL\_TPS: Exodus, Striker has an improved skin.

## Trivia

* The Striker is one of several legendary guns to return from *Borderlands*.
Sunshine

**Sunshine** is a unique incendiary nova shield in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel manufactured by Maliwan. It is obtained from the mission **To the Moon** located in **Lunar Launching Station**.

## Special Shield Effect

**Every time I shut my eyes...** – Always incendiary. When depleted, fires incendiary laser projectiles in every direction.

## Advanced Usage

Sunshine is effective against melee attackers, particularly unshielded ones, and has much better stats than common nova shields of the same level. Due to it firing lasers instead of a nova, it also gives the Sunshine more effective range than a standard nova shield, allowing it to potentially chip distant enemies. However, the lack of a nova also limits the Sunshine's effectiveness, as the lasers fire from the user's feet instead of forming a body-encompassing explosion around them.

**Jack** can make use of the Sunshine via *You Have My Shield* and skills focused on decreasing his Digi-Jack's longevity, turning them into walking laser bombs during combat.

## Notes

* In **BL\_TPS: Exodus**, Sunshine has a new skin and the manufacturer is changed to *Maliwan*.
* Kills by the Sunshine's special effect do not advance the Nova Say Die (kill enemies with a Nova shield burst) challenge.

## Trivia

* The name and flavour text are a reference to the 2007 sci-fi movie *Sunshine*. The text is taken from a quote by Cassie saying: *"Good dream? Let me guess... the surface of the Sun? Only dream I ever have. Every time I shut my eyes it's always the same."*

The Afterburner

**The Afterburner** is a Unique relic in Borderlands 2 manufactured by Eridians. The Afterburner is obtained from the mission **Positive Self Image**.

## Special Effect

Enhances vehicle capabilities including Boost Capacity, Boost Recharge Rate, Boost Recharge Delay.

## Advanced Usage

The Afterburner is used in conjunction with the action skill of any character piloting a vehicle to enhance the effectiveness of that vehicle's afterburner while in transit. The relic will help to maintain the boost effect longer and recharge it to full capacity much faster.

## Notes

* There are several racing missions in Borderlands 2 DLCs that The Afterburner can greatly contribute to:
	+ *Faster than the Speed of Love*
	+ *Battle: The Death Race*
	+ *Tier 2 Battle: The Death Race*
	+ *Tier 3 Battle: The Death Race*

## Trivia

* The name and its special effect are a reference to afterburner, a combustion component used on some jet engines, mostly those on military supersonic aircraft. Its purpose is to increase thrust, usually for supersonic flight, takeoff, and combat.

Prismatic Bulwark

**Prismatic Bulwark** is a Legendary absorb shield in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel manufactured by Vladof. It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source but has an increased chance to drop from **The Sentinel** found in Eleeser.

## Special Shield Effect

**Full spectrum.** – Increased capacity and reduced Recharge Delay. Has a high chance to absorb enemy lasers. Increases the user's Laser Damage and provides Laser Resistance.

## Advanced Usage

The Prismatic Bulwark is a laser-focused absorb shield, with its traits encouraging the wearer to focus on using and absorbing lasers. As a result of its increased laser resistance and high chance of absorbing them (almost 50% of the time), the Prismatic Bulwark works excellently in areas with outlaws or Lost Legion Laser Specialists/Eternals. It also boosts laser damage, which works especially well with **Wilhelm** due to his *Laser Focus* skill already buffing laser damage. Any other class can also take advantage as they can have varying synergies with laser weapons.

However, unlike standard absorb shields, the Prismatic Bulwark can only absorb lasers; this means that bullets and other sources of damage will never be absorbed. This, alongside lasers being a rather uncommon weapon for enemies, makes other absorb shields more effective if the laser damage increase is not taken advantage of.

## Notes

* In **BL\_TPS: Exodus**, Prismatic Bulwark has a new skin.

## Trivia

* The name is based on how it is specialized against lasers, as the term "*Prismatic*" is defined as "*Resembling a Prism*" with real-life prisms being able to distort and redirect light. "*Bulwark*" can be used as a term for a defensive wall.
Undertaker

**Undertaker** is a pearlescent rocket launcher in BL\_TPS: Exodus manufactured by Torgue. Drops exclusively from bosses appearing in the badass round of The Holodome.

Vandergraffen

**Vandergraffen** is a Unique Laser in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel manufactured by Tediore. It is a guaranteed drop from **Deadlift**.

## Special Weapon Effect

**I'm a fan of the flow.** – Always Shock. placeholder

## Advanced Usage

The Vandergraffen is typically the first beam laser characters will encounter in a new playthrough. Apart from its higher elemental chance, it has no significant features and can be used in the same way as a standard Tediore shock laser until a suitable replacement is found.

## Notes

* In **BL\_TPS: Exodus**, Vandergraffen has an improved skin.

## Trivia

* The weapon name is a reference Robert Van de Graaff and his generator.
The Apocalypse

**The Apocalypse** is a Unique Duuurp! rocket launcher in BL2: Exodus manufactured by Torgue. It is obtained from **Grandma Flexington** after completing **Grandma Flexington's Story: Raid Difficulty**.

## Advanced Usage

## Notes

* In **BL2: Exodus**, Sponge has a new skin and corresponding core (seraph) glow.
Quasar

**Quasar** is a Legendary grenade mod in Borderlands 2 manufactured by Hyperion. It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source but has an increased chance to drop from **Ultimate Badass Varkids**.

## Special Effect

**E=mc^(OMG)/wtf** – Always Shock. Enemies pulled into the blast radius suffer shock damage over time until the grenade detonates.

## Advanced Usage

The Quasar itself will always have a singularity effect that is not noted on the item card, and it will always spawn with the shock element. It has the largest singularity pull and area of effect of any singularity grenade mod in the game, but as with all shock grenades it is best utilized against enemies with strong shields.

When compared with an equivalent (same components and level) purple shock singularity grenade, the Quasar has reduced damage, but increased shock area of effect and singularity pull. The Quasar also has an exceptionally low fuse time, which can be useful in many situations. This makes the use of this grenade situational, especially where crowd control is important.

## Notes

* In **BL2: Exodus**, Quasar has a new skin.

## Trivia

* The flavor text is a reference to the equation for matter-energy equivalence, E=mc², where 'E' is energy, 'm' is mass and 'c' is the speed of light.
Vibra-Pulse

**Vibra-Pulse** is a Unique Laser in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel manufactured by Maliwan. It is acquired by starting the mission **Home Sweet Home** and opening the weapon crate located in Moxxi's Up & Over Bar in **Concordia**.

## Special Weapon Effect

**Why not turn me on?** – Always Shock. Chains a lightning bolt to nearby enemies. Restores 2.5% of the damage inflicted while holding this weapon as health. All parts are fixed.

## Advanced Usage

The Vibra-Pulse's laser will chain to nearby opponents if the initial laser hits an enemy. This makes the Vibra-Pulse excellent at depleting the shields of multiple targets at once.

* **Athena** can potentially *Smite* two enemies at once with the Vibra-Pulse, should the first shot arc to a second target.
* **Wilhelm's** *Cold War* can freeze a target with an arc.

## Notes

* In **BL\_TPS: Exodus**, Vibra-Pulse has an improved skin.
* The contents of Moxxi's Toy Box are level 16 in *Normal Mode* and level 38 in *True Vault Hunter Mode*, regardless of the level of **Home Sweet Home**. They will scale to the level of the Vault Hunter after turning in **The Beginning of the End** in *True Vault Hunter Mode*, up to level 50.
* When playing with a controller, equipping, switching to or zooming in, the weapon temporarily turns on vibration for 3-5 seconds, then fades, regardless of firing or not.

* The name *‘Shindig’* is Australian slang meaning *‘party’*.
Turtle Shield

* Uncommon
* Rare
* Very Rare
1/3
**Turtle Shields** are a common shield type in Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Turtle Shields are manufactured exclusively by Pangolin. The Turtle Shield is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source.

## Usage & Description

A Turtle shield has high capacity for its level, but also reduces the user's maximum Health and Movement Speed. The shield Recharge Rate is lower than other shield types. Turtle shields may offer resistance or immunity to elemental damage. At higher rarity levels, Turtle shields offer faster Recharge Rates and lower penalties to maximum Health.

## Notable Variants

### *Borderlands 2*

* Barricade – Pearlescent turtle shield with very high capacity and no health penalty. Gives Damage Reduction when depleted.
* Fabled Tortoise – Legendary turtle shield with high capacity. When depleted, increases your Movement Speed.
* Warcry – Legendary turtle shield which gives increased Gun Damage when depleted for both you and your allies.
* Hoplite – Seraph turtle shield with very high capacity. Further increases Shield Capacity and decreases Movement Speed for every Hoplite user in the party.

### *Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel*

* Paragon – Legendary turtle shield with high capacity. Increases damage and Critical Hit Damage while the shield is active, but decreases while depleted.

## Notes

* Health reduction is calculated before percentage-based health bonuses (e.g. from skills, relics, badass ranks) are added. Thus, even if the character's overall health is higher than the shield's health reduction, it will still be reduced to 1 if their base health is lower.
* Turtle Shields synergise very well with **Axton**, because his *Willing*, *Healthy*, and *Pressure* skills compensate for the delay and health penalties.
* Turtle Shields work extremely well with **Nisha**, as the lesser max health can work well with gaining stacks of *Order* from taking damage. The high capacity also works well with her *Bottled Courage* skill, which can instantly regain a percentage of shield capacity when activating *Showdown* as well as granting a buff to shield recharge rate and delay whilst it is in the process of cooling down.
Tanktrap

**Tanktrap** is a common class mod in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel for the Fragtrap manufactured by Pangolin. It can be obtained randomly from any suitable loot source.

Tannis' Laser of Enlightenment

**Tannis' Laser of Enlightenment** is a Unique Laser in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel manufactured by Maliwan added in *Claptastic Voyage* DLC. It is obtained from the mission **The Temple of Boom** located in **Subconscious**, as one of two rewards.

## Special Weapon Effect

**Burn away the impurities of ignorance.** – Always Incendiary. Lasers behave like a flamethrower with a short range covering a cone. Increased Damage, Magazine Size and Elemental Effect Chance.

## Notes

Superstition

**Superstition** is a Unique manly shield in BL2: Exodus manufactured by Jakobs. It is obtained from the mission **Customer Service** in **Eridium Blight**.

## Special Shield Effect

**Break a leg.** – Increases movement speed. Taking damage increases players movement speed further. While below 50% health, regeneration is drastically increased.

## Advanced Usage

The Superstition has great synergy with melee builds/melee characters (such as **Krieg** and **Zer0**), since it increases movement speed and increases that boost even further when taking damage, making it significantly easier to close the gap between you and the enemy. The decrease in time spent getting in melee range can mean the difference between life and death. It's best synergy is with **Krieg**, since he has skills that give him boosts when his shields are down (*Empty the Rage* and *Embrace the Pain*), and this shield is always considered 'down'/empty.

## Trivia

* Flavor text is a reference to English idiom used in theatre to wish a performer "*good luck*". The expression probably reflects a superstition (perhaps a theatrical superstition) in which directly wishing a person "*good luck*" would be considered bad luck, therefore an alternative way of wishing luck was developed.
