“Look out, everybody, things are about to get awesome!” This article is a stub. You can help Borderlands Wiki by expanding it.

Michael Mamaril is an NPC in Sanctuary. He is noted for giving out blue or higher level loot as well as being part of the Tribute to A Vault Hunter achievement. He is also known for sometimes dropping E-Guns.

Trivia

• The NPC shares his name with a Borderlands fan that passed away in October 2011. Michael's friend, Carlo, sent Gearbox an email requesting that a short eulogy be read by Claptrap in order to honor his late friend's memory. Gearbox also promised to include Michael in Borderlands 2 as a tribute to the late Borderlands fan.
• His ratio appears to be:

95% Blue

4.5% Purple

0.5% Orange

This is based on a test of 500 trials performed by user Dark_Force9999 on the original Gearbox Forums here

Bugs

• In the unpatched console versions, Michael has a 100% spawn chance before Sanctuary is relocated, after which point his spawn rates returns to the default 10%. In the PC version, he always has the normal 10% spawn chance.
• It seems that when you first talk to him, he will give you a gun that is based on your level. If you level up and talk to him again after saving and quitting, he will still only give you a gun based off of the level you were when you first talked to him.
