Unforgiven (Borderlands)

"It's a helluva thing..."

The Unforgiven
A  is a powerful orange revolver.

Examples are on the talk page.

Special Effects

 * It's a helluva thing... gives +200% Critical Hit Damage
 * Can be obtained with a scope
 * Can be found with attached blade (NOTE: The Unforgiven with an attached blade arguably gives the best melee damage in Borderlands. This is due to the fact that the 300% melee damage on the Hyperion Reaper is not always activated, and the Reaper is a very unlikely find.)
 * Can be obtained with a masher accessory.
 * Can knock enemies backwards.
 * Usually found with slow fire rate.
 * Although the high recoil is not shown on the gun, all Unforgivens have a noticeably larger recoil than other revolvers. A typical Unforgiven with a Stabilization accessory will have about the same recoil as the average revolver. Some models have even more recoil, so much so that the character wielding it will have their arm thrust to the top of the screen after firing it.

Acquiring Jakobs Unforgiven
This weapon can be obtained through many ways including - Looting chests and weapon crates throughout Pandora, dropped by higher level enemies and can be on sale at weapon vendors infrequently. It seems to have a higher chance of dropping in Zombie Island of Dr. Ned. This could be because it is Jakobs-made and the Zombie Island DLC centers around Jakobs Cove.

Trivia

 * The full quote that this gun references is from the film Unforgiven: "It's a helluva thing killing a man. You take away all he's got, and all he's ever gonna have."
 * The quote from the Borderlands Game Guide is as follows: "The Unforgiven offers high damage, high accuracy, a large critical hit bonus, but it's heavy, is slow to fire, and kicks like a mule!"
