Special Weapon Effects[]

I can do this all day... – Ammo regeneration.

Usage & Description[]

The Defender's only special ability is ammo regeneration. The Defender should mostly be used for its ammo regenerating trait, rather than its combat prowess.

Notes[]

  • The Defender may also be found with a Carnage type barrel, allowing it to fire rocket projectiles instead of the normal pellets.
    • The Carnage barrel increases the high damage of Defender up to 1024.
  • There are no Matador variations of the Defender.

Trivia[]

  • The flavour text is a reference to ShamWow pitchman Vince Offer's pitch catchphrase "...Because you know we can't do this all day...". It is a commonly quoted phrase in various media, including Duke Nukem in Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, and in Halo 3.
  • The Defender is Roland's favored weapon in Borderlands: The Fallen.

Mechanics[]

The Defender effect comes from the body3_Tediore_Defender body. It is vastly superior to its body3 counterpart, but roughly equivalent to a body5. For an explanation on how to interpret the information on the following table, please see the stat modifiers page.
