The Legend Begins

As anyone who has ever played Borderlands knows, the weapons and collecting them is great fun. They are colour coded and ranked to you level or close to it. The main colour stages are:

White: very basic vanilla guns.
Green: a bit more spice but still simple.
Blue: now we're talking, the fun begins.
Purple: top notch fun sticks.
Orange: Legendary, rare and highly acclaimed.

The Orange, Legendary weapons are super rare. You will be extremely lucky to find them. I know some people who are still trying and have had no luck yet.

There are many chats and videos out there with tips on how to play and who to kill to get them, some useful and some not so. But saying that there are bosses who are famed for dropping certain orange gems.

Due to my many hours on Pandora, I have quite a few Legendary and other great weapons I will show you.

Lets start with my first Legendary. From my first ever playthrough. Which was very lucky and exciting.
Here she is.

A level 40 Hornet. I was lucky enough to get this from a slot machine loot goon in the Tundra. While on a mission for Tiny Tina, probably tormenting poor old Fishstick.

I killed the slot machine goon, the first I had ever seen and so far the only one I have seen to date. I jumped on his back, pulled the lever and boom! A fanfare and out pops this little beauty.

Over 2000 damage and corrosive. Little did I know at the time just how much this gun would save my ass in places like Opportunity, where the town is crawling with robots.

Like all Dahl guns this pistol burst fires while zoomed. So it's like having a mini machine gun. The first time I shot it at a Hyperion Loader my jaw dropped. It tore through them. Until then, every robot I had encountered was like a boss fight. Not any more, my Hornet rocked and kept me happy for many levels thereafter.

Well Time has passed since my level 40 first playthrough and I am please to report I have found another Hornet since. A level 50 Neutralizing Hornet with 7741 damage and 3605.9 Corrosive damage.Wow!

This was dropped by Knuckledragger, yes the same Knuckledragger Bullymong from the start of the game who steals CL4P-TPs eye. I had another encounter with him after revisiting the area and this was my reward.

If you have a Hornet, tell me about it of post pics, love to see them.

Murph Out!
