Glitch (rarity)

Glitch weapons are introduced with The Claptastic Voyage, and have a chance to grant varying bonuses after reload. Glitch weapons are marked by flowing binary code (normally blue) across the weapon's body and special glitchy rendering.

Glitch bonuses

• Overload (red): slower rate of fire but higher damage per shot
• Loop (yellow): gun gets stuck in firing mode but ammo cost is reduced
• Multishot (green): gun fires multiple projectiles but uses extra ammo
• Amp (red): each shot costs some Shield, but gains the Amp damage effect

The active glitch effects are color-coded and can be easily differentiated by wielder. Chance to gain certain effect is encoded on weapon's card OxLxMxAx where x can range from 0 to 4 for Overload, Loop, and Multishot, and up to 5 for Amp.

Glitch weapon sources

• Glitchy weapon chests on Claptastic Voyage levels.
• Bosses, minibosses, and badass enemies can drop Glitchy weapons.

Trivia

• The Glitch effect is stored exclusively in the secondary accessory part, which was present but never used in Borderlands 2 (not including the Rapier, which always spawns a blade attachment as the secondary accessory part.) Thus, Glitch weapons cannot be Luneshine and vice versa.
• Every weapons class in the game is capable of possessing a Glitch bonus.
• They use the same rarity color as seraph items. Because of this, they're listed higher then legendary
