'''Bane''' is a {{Rarity link|unique}} {{Rarity link|aftermarket}} [[Submachine Gun|submachine gun]] in ''[[Borderlands 2]]'' manufactured by [[Hyperion]]. {{mission loot|mission=The Bane}}

==Special Weapon Effects==
{{flavor|in Spain, stays mainly on the plain.}}{{dash}}Greatly increased damage, increased magazine size, greatly decreased initial accuracy and reduced final accuracy. Unique voice module. When equipped, movement speed is greatly reduced.

==Usage & Description==
The Bane boasts staggering damage for a unique submachine gun, outperforming even a non-elemental [[Bitch (Borderlands 2)|Bitch]] of the same level. This damage comes at a significant cost: in addition to the annoying sound effects, the Bane slows the character's movement speed to something approximating that seen in Fight For Your Life. This makes the Bane highly impractical for most combat situations, with some exceptions:

*Riding in the back of a [[Bandit Technical]].
*Combating slow or stationary enemies.
*Attacking enemies from positions of cover.
*Attaining a Second Wind.

==Notes==
*The gun will continue to make sound even if the in-game volume is reduced to 0.
*The character's rotate and aim speed are not affected.
*If the character swaps weapons during a quote generating event (typically reloading), all guns will obtain the unique voice of the gun. Quitting then reloading the game or entering a vehicle will fix this.
**It may also help to drop the Bane and then pick it back up but this does not always work. 

==Quotes==
===Switching weapon===
*"SWAPPIN' WEAPONS!"

===Firing===
*YEAHAHAHYAEHYEHAYHEAHYEAEHYAHYEAEHYEHAHEAEAHYEAHYAHAHYHEAYHEAHYHAHAHYEAHYAEHYAHYAHYEAHYAHAHAHYEAHYAHAYEAH!! (marked by in-game subtitles as [annoying sound])
*"BOOM!"
*"BANG!"
*"RATATAT!"

===Reloading===
*"RELOOOOOOAD!"
*"REEEEELOADIN'!"

==Trivia==
*The flavor text is a reference to the 1912 play ''[[wikipedia:Pygmalion (play)|Pygmalion]]'' by George Bernard Shaw, in which the character Henry Higgins is giving elocution lessons to the main character, asking her to say: "The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain".
*The Bane is voiced by Ashly Burch, who also voices [[Tiny Tina]].
*The Bane will always spawn with an elemental capacitor.
