Special Weapon Effects Edit

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

Usage & Description Edit

Like all Tediore Legendary weapons, 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 & Trivia Edit

• The Defender may also be found with a Carnage type barrel, allowing it to fire rocket projectiles instead of the normal pellets.
• There are no Matador variations of the Defender.
• The red text 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 Edit

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.
