Trivia

Note: Each head/skin name is linked to the picture for easy reference.

  • Unlike the other characters, Gaige's in-game default skin (Gaige's School Uniform) differs from the one used in the official promotional images. The actual in-game version has a much bleaker, less saturated look.
  • Gaige's The Girl From The Moon head is a reference to Mad Moxxi in Borderlands: The Pre Sequel
  • Gaige's Sinful Sweetheart head is a reference to Ema Skye, of the Ace Attorney series, specifically her haircut as an adult in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney.
  • Gaige's Speak No Evil head appears to be the skinned remains of Max, from Sam & Max, bearing the same beady, black eyes and razor sharp 'bear-trap' teeth as the franchise's titular psychotic bunny.
  • Gaige's Lovely Corpse head is a reference to the film and book The Lovely Bones.
  • Gaige's Metal Blood head is a reference to Tali'Zorah vas Normandy, of the Mass Effect series. Like Gaige, Tali is also an engineer with a talent for robotics, and shares Gaige's ability to summon a robotic companion to assist her in battle.
  • Gaige's Grease Monkey head is a reference to Winry Rockbell, of the anime Fullmetal Alchemist.
  • The skin Horrible Religion is inspired by the School Uniform of Miku Hatsune, a famous Virtual Idol in Japan. The colors are exactly the same in the right place.
  • The Skin Gummi Worm is also inspired by one of the Virtual Idols named Gumi. The skin's name and colours are directly from the character, like with Horrible Religion and Miku Hatsune's uniform.
  • The Skins Streets Ahead and Cool Cool Cool are references to the show Community, as catch phrases for some of the characters.
  • Some of the skins are references to punk and post-punk bands, fitting in with Gaige's "punk" theme/Anarchy/Punk class mods. Miss Ramone (The Ramones), YESFX (NoFX), Dead Lincolns (Dead Kennedeys), Horrible Religion (Bad Religion), Joy Divide (Joy Division) and Distorted Socially (Social Distortion). Some reference songs: Sun Blister (Blister in the Sun by Violent Femmes), Ecstastic Tuesdays (Manic Monday by The Bangles), and Don't Call Her Green (Don't Call Me White by NoFX). Bye Bye Baby could either be a reference to the song by Social Distortion or a different song of the same name written by Joey Ramone.
  • A Study in Red is a reference to the detective mystery novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, titled "A Study in Scarlet".
  • The name of Gaige's Pithy Rejoinder head is a play on words, referring to the pith helmet that she is wearing.
  • The Summoner Sickness skin is a nod to Magic the Gathering's "Summoning Sickness".
