The Infamous gear is rumored to be as powerful as Legendary gear, but can only be found in chests. (..And other openable loot sources.)
They tend to boast rather devious, or treacherous effects.
Syringe
Rarity: Infamous
Manufacturer: Jakobs
The Syringe is a bolt-action Sniper Rifle that drains a large percentage of your health, converting that health into damage.
Also has a decent chance for shots to not consume ammo.
Sapper
Rarity: Infamous
Manucaturer: Maliwan
The Sapper is a Rocket Launcher with a big blast radius that steals a small percentage of health from whatever it hits.
It explodes inwards, much like the effects of a Singularity Grenade (to a lesser extent).
Kamikaze
Rarity: Infamous
Manufacturer: Tediore
The Kamikaze is a non-elemental Tediore Assault Rifle with a large magazine.
When thrown, it will home in on a target with extreme speeds.
Reload-throws may start enemies ablaze.
Topor
Rarity: Infamous
Manufacturer: Vladof
The Topor is a VERY powerful spinigun Assault Rifle with a monstrous clip size.
Its ridiculously short range requires the user to get up-close-and-personal with enemies.
Curveball
Rarity: Infamous
Manucaturer: Bandit
The Curveball is a powerful semi-automatic Shotgun with explosive slug rounds that curve towards enemies.
Comes equipped with a drum mag.
Forever
Rarity: Infamous
Manufacturer: Dahl
The Forever is an SMG that doesn't need to reload, it consumes ammo right out of your pack.
Excelling in accuracy due to its low recoil, and high bullet speed.
Decent damage, and average fire rate.
Sprayer
Rarity: Infamous
Manufacturer: Torgue
The Sprayer is a Pistol that shoots Grenades that fire bullets in all directions upon exploding.
Enemies killed with the Sprayer have a high chance of dropping Rocket or Grenade ammo.
Wormhole
Rarity: Infamous
Manufacturer: Hyperion
The Wormhole is a Singularity Grenade that drops another copy of itself after it explodes.
Will occasionally drop a third copy, and very rarely drop a fourth.
WorryNot
Rarity: Infamous
Manufacturer: Anshin
The WorryNot is an Adaptive Shield that has a large chance for enemy attacks to pass through the shield, hitting your health directly.
The wearer quickly regens health while the shield is damaged or depleated.
Very small recharge delay.
Please post your opinions.
If any if the names have already been taken within Borderlands, be sure to let me know.
