=Borderlands= Tediore weapons tend to have mediocre stats but have reload speed upgrades. Weapons made by this manufacturer are common and are well-known for being the cheapest and most accessible.

Tediore makes legendary grade weapons that innately regenerate ammunition. These weapons follow a "self-defence" style naming scheme.

Usage
Tediore guns have reduced damage, as well as increased spread. This usually makes them inferior compared to the weapons from other manufacturers, and not so well suited as a primary weapon. However, they have exceptional reload speed and excellent swap-in and swap-out speed. This makes them excellent as emergency side-arms. For example, a Tediore Anarchy will never match a Torgue Anarchy in terms of firepower. But, in certain cases, (like in the case of a skag ambush) the Tediore SMG will become operable (swapped in, loaded and ready to fire) faster than the Torgue SMG.

Tediore unique and legendary weapons also follow this trend: None of them have exceptional firepower or combat abilities. However, all of them can regenerate ammo, giving them more of a secondary weapon role.

Lilith can use Tediore guns to great effect: Her phasewalk play-style (phase in, fight, phase out, repeat) leaves her with very little time to reload. Tediore guns help not waste time swapping and reloading weapons.

The Tediore Loyalty Class Mod, Common Man, is assigned to Brick.

=Borderlands 2= Tediore guns are cheaply made, disposable weapons that are designed not to be reloaded but instead to be thrown away when the magazine is expended. The discarded guns then explode like a grenade doing area-of-effect damage. The more ammunition left in the magazine when the gun is discarded, the greater the explosion. When the spent gun is thrown away a new, fully-loaded gun digistructs in the wielder's hands. Unfortunately, because of the guns' low manufacturing quality, spent Tediore guns have a chance to explode in the wielder's hands before being thrown away.

Trivia

 * Prior to the release of Borderlands 2 Tediore guns were described by Randy Pritchford, CEO of Gearbox Software, as "cheap, plastic pieces of crap" and "Wal-Mart guns" during a demo presentation.
