Handgun is the title of a group of common pistols manufactured by Tediore in Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, and scavs in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. They commonly spawn with the Dahl, Maliwan, Tediore, and bandit/scav barrels.

Usage & Description[]

Tediore pistols are characterized by quick reloading and mediocre stats overall. When a Tediore gun runs out of ammo, the weapon is thrown away and promptly explodes.

Scav pistols feature enormous magazine sizes, long reload times and low stats overall.

The Handgun can come with a variety of barrels, each one can give the gun different properties:

  • Tediore barrel (standard) – Does nothing additional.
  • Maliwan barrel (elemental) – Increases elemental effect damage (if the weapon spawn with an element) and accuracy.
  • Dahl barrel (stable) – Increases recoil recovery and slightly reduces recoil and damage.
  • Bandit/scav barrel ("heavy") – Increases the weapon damage but reduces accuracy.
