Borderlands has 500,000 weapons and 600,000 items.

I've found on System Wars a vast coverage of this game. It's a series of 5 articles.

I'll link the last one, because you'll find the links to the previous 4 at the bottom.

The ones that have info about the 500k weapons and the 600k items are 1 and 4.

Oh and there are over 10k vehicle parts.

And the world map is randomized each time you restart the game.

At first, I was a little dubious about the 500k guns. I would rather have 10 good guns that 500k crappy ones. But the more I read, I think they're doing it in a really smart way that could work really well.

There some more info on the guns at the Borderlands wiki (http://borderlandsguide.com/wiki).

i think alot of it will be customising weapons and there won't actually be 500k weapons

i.e they can have 5 ranges of scopes, with red dot, cross hair and such versions lets say 5, then each opne can have a night scope and thermal vision attached

That's 50 variations per weapon there, you can do the same for underbarrel attachments diferent atachment versions for various lamp, supressors, different ammo, different size magazines ect. I managed to get 30000 variations per weapon via this method and if you include different skins for the weapons you could get more.

technically its not really 500k weapons.... theres around like 50 unique weapons that are in different colors and shoot different things. like electricity and what not. ReaperV7

acording to their method of counting i think bioshock has 21384 weapons that you can use

it seems more like they're classing seperate guns as different combinations, which is pretty good for me atleast cause i used assault weapons whenever i could in crysis simply because they had so many modifications, i even preffered them for sniping than the propper sniper weapons

Why is it being compared to the sequel of a bad console FPS that is only receiving any attention at all because of its graphics?ReddestSkies

Thy compare the lack of hype for the brilliant concept of Borderlands to the massive hype for the (bland) graphical powerhouse that is KZ2.
