Gearbox was famed in 2010 for bringing us one of the best *hybrid* titles that year – Borderlands – a chunky shooter with a splash of RPG elements. Borderlands was critically acclaimed and celebrated by gamers.
One of the best features of Borderlands was the brilliantly designed arsenal of weapons which you could even customize or level up. The weapons were absolutely epic, so it comes as a bit of surprise that Gearbox has revealed in an interview with DigitalTrends, that the entire gun system rebuilt from the ground up.
This was stated by Borderlands 2 writer, Anthony Burch when asked what the studio was most excited for people to see and experience when they play the upcoming title.
“The guns. With the entire gun system rebuilt from the ground up, I’m really interested to see which guns the fans respond to — will they prefer the bullet hose Vladofs? The precise, sci-fi Hyperion weapons? The Tediore guns, which you throw like grenades instead of reloading? Personally, I can’t wait to see someone kill the endboss just by throwing Tediore reloads at it.”
Burch also revealed that the AI has undergone a “massive improvement”, and that enemies will have much more “complex interactions with one another.” The robotic enemies will reportedly heal one another, and players will be able to trick the bandit enemies into fighting amongst themselves.
