Glitch (rarity)

Glitch weapons are introduced with The Claptastic Voyage, and have a chance to grant varying bonuses after reload. Glitch weapons are marked by flowing binary code (normally blue) across the weapon's body and special glitchy rendering.

Glitch bonuses

 * Overload (red): slower rate of fire but higher damage per shot
 * Loop (yellow): gun gets stuck in firing mode but ammo cost is reduced
 * Multishot (green): gun fires multiple projectiles but uses extra ammo
 * Amp (red): each shot costs some Shield, but gains the Amp damage effect

The active glitch effects are color-coded and can be easily differentiated by wielder. Chance to gain certain effect is encoded on weapon's card OxLxMxAx where x can range from 0 to 4 for Overload, Loop, and Multishot, and up to 5 for Amp.

Glitch weapon sources

 * Glitchy weapon chests on Claptastic Voyage levels.
 * Bosses, minibosses, and badass enemies can drop Glitchy weapons.

Trivia

 * The Glitch effect is stored exclusively in the secondary accessory part, which was present but never used in Borderlands 2 (not including the Rapier, which always spawns a blade attachment as the secondary accessory part.) Thus, Glitch weapons cannot be Luneshine and vice versa.
 * Every weapons class in the game is capable of possessing a Glitch bonus.
