Category:Rank

Borderlands uses a ranking system for gear that follows the standard color-coding system for RPGs. A gun would be average,  would be slightly above average,  would be a premium gun, a  would be a very strong gun, and  guns are second only to pearlescent.

There are eight confirmed rank levels. (Do note that weapons listed in the inventory screen might have a darker text color than what is shown in the weapon box when that weapon is selected, so it would help to compare, say, across all your orange rarity weapons to check for differences in color.)


 * Level 1 =, rarity = 0-4.
 * Level 2 =, rarity = 5-10.
 * Level 3 =, rarity = 11-15.
 * Level 4 =, rarity = 16-49.
 * Level 5 = Light Orange, rarity = 50-60. (Not a category)
 * Level 6 =, rarity = 61-65.
 * Level 7 =, rarity = 66-100. (Not a category)
 * Level 8 = Pearlescent, rarity = 101+
