It’s no secret that
Borderlands offers players their choice of over a bajillion guns as they progress through the FPS. The game procedurally generates them, like an MMO generates swords or other stabby weapons. Some guns will be better than others as internal dice make a random decision, but this won’t apply to at least eight guns as retailer
GameStop is rocking an exclusive.
Earlier this morning, the retailer sent out an e-mail pointing those on its newsletter list to a Borderlands pre-order bonus called the “Mercenary Weapon” pack, which gives pre-orders 8 “unique” in-game weapons to roll with in the shooter.
Available both online and in-store, the bonus will stick around until supplies last, or, you know, the game ships.

mainly because i dont care about preorder junk,and because gamestop never gives these things out anyway because the employees are thieves and idiots. and they always say they dont have any left. even when i asked how many people preordered and they say 5. so youre saying corporate only shipped you 2 preorder bonus items? BULLSHIT!
Worst preorder bonus ever.
trash.
im still preordering though!
I CAN'T AFFORD IT! STOP MAKING ME FEEL REMORSEFUL!
Still hoping they have a puppy launcher =D
Lol my bad
I'd rather have an art book and a CD...heck even just an art book I'm a sucker for art books!
Or they might be Gamestop colored. o___O
Unless they're unique, which is no fun.
But they're still just slightly upgraded starter weapons, so you'll be replacing them the first time you get an item drop. This is the kind of thing that would only hold appeal to somebody that has never even heard of the game but likes the idea of exclusive weapons. :/
