Aegis is the title of a group of common pistols in Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. They are manufactured exclusively by Maliwan and commonly spawn with the Dahl, Maliwan, Tediore, and bandit/scav barrels.

Usage & Description[]

The Aegis has a somewhat slow rate of fire that is compensated by high elemental effect chance and damage on shock, incendiary, and corrosive variants.

Depending on the Barrel, Aegis can have several effects:

  • Dahl barrel: Reduces recoil and accuracy.
  • Maliwan barrel: Increases accuracy and elemental effect chance.
  • Tediore barrel: No additional effects.
  • Bandit/scav barrel: Increases damage at the cost of accuracy.
