The Unforgiven is a Pearlescent pistol manufactured by Jakobs. The Unforgiven can be obtained randomly from any loot source, but has a higher chance to drop from human Badasses.

Special Weapon Effects

It's a helluva thing... – Absurdly high damage, very low fire rate (compared to similar Jakobs pistols), increased accuracy, 500% critical hit damage (hidden). Very high recoil, even compared to other Jakobs weapons, and extremely slow accuracy recovery.

Usage & Description

The Unforgiven is an extremely powerful pistol, fitting the true definition of a hand-cannon. It boasts excellent damage and accuracy stats, coupled with unrivaled critical hit damage (among pistols). However, its fire rate is very low for a Jakobs pistol, making it more suited to mid-to-long range combat. That said, it is an exceptional weapon for taking out enemy critical spots, and a scoped version can make for a more-than-viable sniper rifle alternative.

Trivia

• The Unforgiven is one of the few weapons returning from Borderlands with a different rarity.
