Infinity

**Infinity** is a Legendary Anarchist pistol in Borderlands 2 manufactured by Vladof. It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source but has an increased chance to drop from **Doc Mercy** located in Three Horns - Valley.

## Special Weapon Effect

**It's closer than you think! (no it isn't)** – Does not consume ammunition and fixed magazine size of 1. Shots fired form a fixed ∞ pattern.

## Advanced Usage

The Infinity is very versatile and can be used as a fallback weapon at times when ammunition is running low. This is especially useful for extended usage as reloads or ammunition supply are not a concern. Its lemniscate pattern can take some getting used to, but may work in its favor as it cancels out muzzle climb completely.

The lemniscate (∞) firing pattern and infinite ammo make the Infinity a very useful backup weapon against Hyperion loaders, as their eyes and shoulders lie within the pattern, allowing for a high number of critical hits in a short time with minimal aiming. This also hurts usage in other areas, as ranged attacks will be difficult upon smaller enemies, such as Rats. Every eighth shot has 100% Accuracy, i.e. every eight shot hits at the intersection of the lemniscate.

* Because the magazine is perpetually full, every shot is eligible for **Zer0's** *0ne Sh0t 0ne Kill* skill damage bonuses.
* This weapon works with **Gaige's** *Cooking Up Trouble* skill and allows constant health regeneration.
	+ With **Gaige's** *Close Enough* skill, the Infinity's effectiveness at longer range is drastically improved due to missed shots having a chance to ricochet towards targets. On the same token, the Infinity also works very well with *Anarchy*, as the Infinity's magazine is perpetually full, it is impossible to accidentally lose stacks of Anarchy, but it is also impossible to activate *Discord* as it requires a premature reload.
	+ Although the Infinity does not consume ammunition, it does not function with 0 ammunition, and must have at least one round of pistol ammo in characters' reserves. Having even one rank in Gaige's *Smaller, Lighter, Faster* skill reduces the Infinity's magazine size to 0, making it unusable. Having more than one rank in this trait does not lower the magazine size below 0. This will also occur if Gaige equips a *Punk'* class mod. However, by equipping a *Necromancer* class mod with a "Neutral" prefix, the reduction in magazine size is negated, allowing use of this weapon.
* Support **Sirens** can put the Infinity to good use when crippled. If any team companion is reviving Maya and at least one point is invested in *Restoration* skill, she can shoot indefinitely to help keep the reviving character alive.
* Under the benefits of *Blood-Filled Guns*, it is possible for **Krieg** to reload the Infinity, bringing the number of bullets in the magazine up to the boosted level. This is the only way to reload the Infinity, yielding an identical animation to any other Vladof pistol. The Infinity will not use up the additional ammo in the magazine, and the magazine will return to normal when the effect ends. This has no beneficial effect.

## Notes

* In **BL2: Exodus**, Infinity has an improved skin.
* Any increase to accuracy will tighten the firing pattern, although it will never fully eliminate it.
* The Infinity cannot spawn with a slag elemental capacitor.

## Trivia

* The flavor text is a reference to Stephen King's short story *The Jaunt*.
	+ The actual quote is "*It's longer than you think!*"
	+ In the short story, the titular subject is a teleportation process which lasts for eternity to a conscious mind (thus the connection to the term "*Infinity*"), driving its subjects to insanity or instant death.
