The Infinity is a legendary pistol manufactured by Vladof. It is only available in Borderlands 2. The Infinity can be obtained randomly from any loot source, but has an increased chance to drop from Doc Mercy located in Three Horns - Valley.
Special Weapon Effects
It's closer than you think! (no it isn't) – Does not consume ammunition. Shots fired form a fixed lemniscate (∞) pattern, ignoring normal recoil behavior. Increased accuracy when aiming down the sights.
Usage & Description
The Infinity is very versatile, and can be used as a fallback weapon at times when ammunition is running low, or as a primary weapon for use in prolonged combat. Its lemniscate pattern can take some getting used to, but may work in its favor as it cancels out muzzle climb completely.
Notes
- While the Infinity has a higher chance to drop from Doc Mercy, its drop chance is still only 0.07%, which is one of lowest legendary drop chances in the game. Furthermore, an unresolved glitch ensures that it will never drop from Doc Mercy in TVHM or UVHM.
- Having even one rank in Gaige's Smaller, Lighter, Faster skill causes the Infinity's magazine size to go down by one leaving a magazine size of 0 and making it unusable. Having more than one rank in this trait does not lower the magazine size below 0.
- Because the magazine is perpetually full, every shot is eligible for the 0ne Sh0t 0ne Kill damage bonuses. This also works for the Cooking Up Trouble allowing constant health regeneration.
- The lemniscate (∞) firing pattern and infinite ammo make the Infinity a very useful backup weapon against Hyperion Loaders, as their eyes and shoulders lie within the pattern, allowing for a high number of critical hits in a short time with minimal aiming.
- Having a point invested in the skill Keep Firing... increases the Infinity's fire rate to incredible levels while Gunzerking due to the lack of reloading.
- Support Sirens can put the Infinity to good use when crippled. If any team companion is reviving Maya and at least one point is invested in Restoration she can shoot indefinitely to help keep the reviving character alive.
Trivia
- This weapon has a unique design: a lemniscate (infinity symbol (∞)) on its barrel.
- The Infinity shares part of its special effect with The Dove from Borderlands.
- The flavor text is a reference to Stephen King's short story The Jaunt.
