Bandit (manufacturer)

Bandit is a new manufacturer introduced in Borderlands 2.

"The Bandit gun philosophy is simple: MORE BULLETS! MORE SHOOT BITS FOR BRAIN SPLATS! BANG BANG BANG BANG! ...BANG!"

Bandit is a large manufacturer of weapons and vehicles on the planet Pandora. In the five years between the events of Borderlands and Borderlands 2, the bandits have begun to produce their own vehicles, and manufacture their own weapons.

Products
Bandit products are usually ramshackle in appearance, due to their limited supply of resources.

Class Mods
Bandit produces the Survivor, Devastator, Raider, and Banshee Class Mods.

Grenade Mods
Bandit Grenade Mods come in two varieties: Standard and Mirv. Standard Grenade Mods are no different to normal grenades in terms of effect, while Mirv Grenade Mods explode releasing more grenades.
 * Fuster Cluck - Multiple grenades are thrown instead of one.

Shields
All Bandit shields have the Roid effect enabled, that is, melee attacks deal bonus Roid damage when depleted.
 * Order - Melee attacks heal you for the same amount of damage dealt when the Law weapon is equipped.
 * Pot O' Gold - Drops money when shield is depleted.
 * Love Thumper - Extremely long recharge delay.

Vehicles
Bandit vehicles employ unique, makeshift weapons unlike that of other vehicles. The choice of main weapons is either a sawblade shooter, or an explosive barrel catapult. The Sawblade technical fires horizontal sawblades in a slight parabolic trajectory. It serves as a Bandit couterpart to the Machine Gun Light Runner. The Catapult technical launches an explosive barrel, also in a parabolic trajectory but this one much more noticeable, and serves as the Bandit counterpart to the Rocket Launcher Light Runner. A player in the gunner's seat of a Sawblade technical may also use a secondary fire attack which launches three vertical sawblades at once that skip across the ground much faster than the primary-fire horizontal blades do.

Weapons
Bandit weapons have great magazine sizes, usually bigger than that of other manufacturers (a trait also held by the former manufacturer S&S Munitions). Their weapons are red in color and are made with makeshift parts in the place of specialized hardware like other manufacturers. These include the use of nuts and bolts as iron sights, or even glass bottles as scopes. Concept art of bandit weaponry also depicts what appear to be primitive digital scopes made from antiquated electronics.

The names of Bandit guns contain poor grammar and spelling (e.g. "Shooty Mashine Gun" and "Bulets Go Fasterified Acurate smgg"), reflecting on the general intelligence level of typical bandits.
