Fremington's Edge is a unique aftermarket Hyperion sniper rifle in Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
In Borderlands 2, it can be obtained as a common drop from Assassin Reeth located in Southpaw Steam & Power and from his digital copy on Digistruct Peak at the end of the A History of Simulated Violence mission.
In Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Fremington's Edge is obtained from the mission Don't Shoot the Messenger.
Special Weapon Effects
I can see my house from here. – Increased zoom magnification, damage and accuracy. Increased critical hit damage when zoomed in.
Usage & Description
The defining characteristic of Fremington's Edge is its incredibly high zoom magnification of 11.4x, almost double that of any other sniper rifle. This makes it well-suited towards long-range combat, more so than almost any other weapon but also makes it unwieldy in close or mid-range combat situations.
Aside from the increased magnification, Fremington's Edge appears only marginally different based on its item card. Its base damage, while higher than other blue-rarity Hyperion sniper rifles, is well below purple-rarity Hyperion snipers and many blue-rarity snipers from other brands. Its accuracy is higher than most other sniper rifles but does not provide a significant advantage. Its critical hit bonus is noted erroneously, as the "+100%" modifier is standard on a sniper rifle and thus not normally displayed. However, this last element is somewhat misleading due to a hidden effect.
When zoomed in, its critical hit modifier is increased from +100% to +175%. This means a zoomed critical hit from Fremington's Edge will inflict 5.5x the damage listed on the card, not counting elemental weaknesses or other critical hit modifiers. This is a significant improvement over the 4x damage inflicted by standard sniper rifles, elevating Fremington's Edge over many other snipers in terms of potential damage, but still behind certain exceptional rifles such as the Pimpernel and Buffalo.
Notes
- Fremington's Edge always spawns with a Hyperion scope.
- Day 5 of the Borderlands 2 $100,000 Loot Hunt featured the Fremington's Edge as the drop from Wilhelm needed to complete the daily challenge.
- Fremington's Edge was also modified via a hotfix released on October 16th, 2013 as part of the loot hunt. Its accuracy was increased by a small amount, while its scoped critical hit damage modifier was increased from +150% to +175%. As with all hotfixes released as part of the Loot Hunt, it will later be incorporated into a permanent patch.
Trivia
- The name is a reference to a wall of crags and scree slopes in the Yorkshire Dales (in the U.K.) called Fremington Edge. This wall overlooks a town called Reeth (the same name as the NPC who drops it).
- The flavor text refers to the stock phrase of the same name.
- In Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, it is stated that this rifle belonged to Colonel Zarpedon.
