Weapons


 * "You won't last long here, not with help, not without guns... a hell of a lot of guns." - Borderlands trailer

According to Gearbox, there will be as many as 1 million different weapons combinations. Thankfully, there is a easy way to determine the basics of a weapon without having to pick it up and open an inventory screen. This is done by the use of colors. The known colors so far are:


 * Silver - higher chance of extreme critical hit
 * Black - fire more rapidly, but lack accuracy
 * Yellow - explosive attack
 * Green - acid attack
 * Blue - electrical attack

Other aspects of weapons are the length of the stock, which affects stability, and weight, which affects how much or little the weapon moves while the player is running.
