Infinity is a legendary pistol in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Vladof. It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source, but has an increased chance to drop from Anointed Alpha.

Special Weapon Effects

It's closer than you think! (no it isn't) – Does not consume ammunition. Fires in a lemniscate (∞) pattern with no recoil. Fixed magazine capacity of 1. Reduced damage and fire rate.

Usage & Description

Like its previous incarnation, the Infinity is very versatile and can be used as a fallback weapon when ammunition is running low, with its only downsides being its unique firing pattern making it less useful at long ranges, and a low damage per shot.

The firing pattern is very tight, converging on itself in the center of the sights, but will widen as it travels out. The Infinity also has no recoil whatsoever and it will always remain perfectly accurate and predictable.

Notes

• If the player quits to the main menu and starts a game with the Infinity as their main weapon, the HUD will show that the weapon has a magazine size of 999. This is a visual glitch as it will go away once the gun is switched.
• Due to the weapon's unusual ammo functionality, it can drop with various Anointments that it cannot activate.
  • An example would be any effect that requires reloading, which the Infinity is incapable of.
  • This problem doesn't seem to occur to the Hangin' Chadd, another weapon which doesn't consume ammo.

Trivia

• The flavor text is identical to its Borderlands 2 iteration, and is a reference to Stephen King's short story The Jaunt.
  • The actual quote is "It's longer than you think!"
  • In The Jaunt, the titular subject is a teleportation process which lasts for eternity to a conscious mind (thus the connection to the term "Infinity"), driving its subjects to insanity or instant death.
• The Infinity is a returning weapon from Borderlands 2.
