Borderlands 4 Pre-Release Footage Has Revealed 54 Pieces of Legendary Gear

The buzz around Borderlands 4 has hit an all-time high thanks to successful preview events as well as its dedicated State of Play presentation. As part of their marketing efforts, Gearbox has released a substantial amount of gameplay footage showing off the title’s open world, traversal, weapons, and more. And the passionate Borderlands community has wasted no time scouring through the footage to compile 54 pieces of Legendary equipment that give us a glimpse at some of the guns, grenades, and mods coming to the game.

The pre-release footage comes courtesy of the developer itself, which invited content creators to a Fanfest event, allowing them to capture and upload direct-feed gameplay. This included popular Borderlands creators such as Ki11er Six and JoltzDude139, both of whom streamed Borderlands 4 for upwards of three hours on their YouTube channels. Needless to say, fans got a thorough look at the game, with users on Reddit going the extra mile to compile every single piece of Legendary equipment on display.

The community’s efforts were highlighted in a post on the r/Borderlands4 subreddit. It carried a collage of all the Legendary items revealed so far, with links to high-res images and a Notion doc. The images included the items’ in-game stats, unique abilities, passives, and the series’ signature snazzy one-liners.

In some instances, there’s an added section to point out the reference behind the Legendary item. Examples include the ‘Ohm I Got’ SMG, which is a nod to Ghostbusters, and the Filantropo class mod, which references the iconic Plata y plomo dialogue from Netflix’s Narcos

The compilation also confirmed the return of some fan-favorite items from previous games, including the Doom-themed Hellwalker Shotgun and the Plasma Coil SMG, both last seen in the Borderlands 3 video game. We also got a look at a brand-new AR named the ‘Edging Linebacker.’ Make of that what you will.

It’s important to note that some of the weapons were missing their signature red text description as well as their unique parts. This is to be expected since the images were captured in a pre-release build, and there’s always the chance the abilities mentioned in the spreadsheet prove inconsistent with the final build come September 12.

With that being said, which new Borderlands 4 Legendary weapon are you eager to try out? Let us know in the comments.
