Repeater is the title of a group of common pistols in Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. They are manufactured exclusively by Dahl, and commonly spawn with the Dahl, Maliwan, Tediore, and bandit/scav barrels.

Usage & Description[]

Dahl pistols are semi-automatic when fired from the hip. They fire 2-round bursts when aiming, much faster rate than hip-fire. This gives Dahl pistols high stability when zoomed in and makes them a good sidearm for close and mid-range combat, but not for fight for your life.

The Repeater can come with a variety of barrels, each one can give the gun different properties:

  • Dahl barrel (stable) – Fires 4-round bursts without reducing stability and with slightly reduced recoil and damage.
  • Tediore barrel (standard) – Does nothing additional.
  • Maliwan barrel (elemental) – Increases elemental effect damage (if the weapon spawns with an element) and accuracy.
  • Bandit/scav barrel ("heavy") – Increases the weapon damage but reduces accuracy.
