Borderlands 2 Includes the Most Annoying Gun in the World

By ( ) Comments

The quickest way to win the hearts and minds of Internet denizens is by amusingly trolling them. At least, that’s apparently what Gearbox Software was counting on when they made one very special gun: Hyperion’s Energizing Bane for Borderlands 2. The gun itself boasts some impressive stats. It also just so happens to make an infernal racket when players shoot, and slows characters to a crawl.

This video comes courtesy of YouTube user Yimi97, wherein they test out the weapon:

It’s only a matter of time before the inevitable swarm of videos where the entire multiplayer group is wielding Hyperion’s Energizing Bane. We’re not sure if this is a good, bad, or truly awesome thing. Probably a mix.

    That is part of the fun of the original Borderlands. You can’t tell for sure whether the gun is awesome or terrible just based off of its stats. The fun of the discovery played a big part of its success.

    FWIW, every Bane isn’t Energizing. For example, I just got one and it’s fire elemental, with dual blades on the front, and a ridiculous damage of over 300.

    I’ve got a Bane similar to Wesley’s and as much as the crawling and screaming may be trolling- the unbelievable damage makes it great when you have to go toe-to-toe with bruisers and other huge brutes.
