Weapons question???

[MilkyWhites]

I have been out of the loop for a bit, and wanted to know if this question some have been asking has been answered.

Will the stats of weapons be fixed or randomized? Say I have a weapon called "Super cool Rifle9" and it does 100 damage. If some one else picked up the same gun titled "Super cool Rifle9" from random loot, would it have the same 100 damage or could it be different?

Borderlands and Borderlands 2 is a good example of random loot stats. Which, to be honest, I don't like. I'd rather there be fixed stats and just have many different weapons.

This is a really good question I don't think it had been answered due to NDA, I haven't noticed them saying anything in the live streams about it.

I noticed it wasn't in the sticky'd FAQ thread you and Primus made. So I figured I'd throw it out there.

If Myll_Erik doesn't fill us in here, then I'll try and get in answered during the live stream this weekend to add it in.

Id say no. Weapons are manufactured with base stats so they would all be the same. But you can modify most weapons in many different ways.

That's what I'm thinking but can't really give a definitive answer so hopefully Myll_Erik can answer it. If not we can just beg for a answer on Friday.

at least from how it looked on the livestream weapons come in a somewhat random fashion (prefix/suffix), rarity quality and how many mod slots it has (mod slots would be a great deal if uniqueness) ohh yeah also damage type, so far we dont know the key differences between damage types besides some of them just look outright cool.

We'll we know a bit, he's just referring too if they are named will the same named items be exactly the same of different stats/elemental damage ect. This we don't know exactly without a dev answer or breaking NDA, which I know no one wants to do that over a little question.

Mods = stat change(?) Just a thought.

To clarify, I was referring to BASE damage. Modifiers that are added would obviously change the stats of weapons. I'm wanting to figure out if there is a random stat chance upon pickup.

For example; say I have a gun with base stats 100 damage, 100 reload, and 100 range. If I find a random loot drop of the exact same name and design, would the base stats be identical or vary.
