Borderlands

Tediore weapons have mediocre qualities. Their primary feature is a very quick reload speed. Weapons made by this manufacturer are common and are well known for being the cheapest and most accessible.

Tediore makes legendary grade weapons that innately regenerate ammunition. These weapons follow a "self-defence" style naming scheme.

Usage Edit

Tediore guns have reduced damage, as well as increased spread. This usually makes them inferior compared to the weapons from other manufacturers, and not so well suited as a primary weapon. However, they have exceptional reload speed and excellent swap-in and swap-out speed. This makes them excellent as emergency side-arms. For example, a Tediore Anarchy will never match a Torgue Anarchy in terms of firepower. But, in certain cases, (like in the case of a skag ambush) the Tediore SMG will become operable (swapped in, loaded and ready to fire) faster than the Torgue SMG.

Tediore unique and legendary weapons also follow this trend: None of them have exceptional firepower or combat abilities. However, all of them can regenerate ammo, giving them more of a secondary weapon role.

Lilith can use Tediore guns to great effect: Her phasewalk play-style (phase in, fight, phase out, repeat) leaves her with very little time to reload. Tediore guns help not waste time swapping and reloading weapons.

The Tediore Loyalty Class Mod, Common Man, is assigned to Brick.

Notes Edit

• Tediore makes weapons used on Outrunners, as evidenced by vehicular weaponry counting toward Tediore when determining a character's favorite manufacturer.
• Tediore manufactures Mulciber Mk2 turret parts for the same reason as the Runner weaponry.

Quotes Edit

Borderlands 2

Whereas in Borderlands Tediore guns were known for regenerating ammunition, in Borderlands 2 the guns are disposable and explode when thrown away and a new one is digistructed into the character's hands.
