Borderlands 3 Wishlist: 10 Things That Must Happen
10. New Weapons
Perhaps more so than Insomniac Games, guns and Gearbox are part and parcel; you simply cannot have a Borderlands game without countless and frankly irresponsibly designed firearms. Submachine guns that are thrown and detonated when reloaded; sniper rifles that grow more accurate as they're fired (eventually being honed to pinpoint accuracy) shotguns with ricocheting buckshot rounds - there's no end to the drop-dead lethal combinations. Oh, and don't even try understanding the rocket launchers; just accept them as the wrath of God and call it a day. Gearbox has always found new and innovative ways to step up their munitions. A wealth of in-game weapons manufacturers have created a diverse weapons market, each name - Jakobs, Hyperion, Maliwan, and plenty more - putting a unique spin on otherwise homogenous weapon classes. So bring on the new mechanics, revitalise the old ones, and keep those weapons as untamed as they are powerful; Borderlands 3 has a high bar to blow to tiny bits. Maybe we'll even see the addition of new weapon types entirely?
A freelance games writer, you say? Typically battling his current RPG addiction and ceaseless perfectionism? A fan of horror but too big a sissy to play for more than a couple of hours? Spends far too much time on JRPGs and gets way too angry with card games?
Well that doesn't sound anything like me.
