Would love to partake of the Co-op night although I am afraid with the lack of Splitscreen online I will just continue onward with my wife through Pandora.

Well hopefully soon Gearbox will see the interest in splitscreen online and system link that is gets patched in.

I can't access xbox.com for whatever reason to add the coop gamertag, can you post it in the OP here?

Ooo wish I could get in on this. Enjoy, my friends.
Weapon (it'll be in the DLC, I'm positive)
'Borderglands'
It may not do much damage, but man is it humiliating (not to mention a tad unsanitary).

The Bjork Bolter
It fires not only songs but fashion styles provided by Bjork. No enemy could ever (or would want to) survive.

Vile Bile Blaster
Basically reacts the same way as Boomer Bile from L4D except it causes hordes of Skags to come and attack whoever you have coated with the nasty stuff. You get more ammunition from the skag vomit piles scattered around everywhere.

The Sand Blaster
Anything standing on sand in a certain vicinity gets its health quickly whittled away. Stay on rocks to escape the pain.

It shoots any and all forms of pocket change, especially pennies. I hate pennies(they make my hands stink), and now my enemies will too(both hate pennies and stink of pennies too).

Decuperating Repeater
A side arm that greatly reduces an enemies resistance to your allies attacks. Bonus on critical to lower targets accuracy and slow for a few seconds.
Not much use for single player, but who's playing the game that way anyway?

Would love to see some splitscreen online. Still, I'm glad they were able to bring splitscreen to the party to start with!

DKL-93 BFG of DOOM!

The "Catastrophic Epiphany".
Has a low fire rate and doesn't do much damage, but has a small chance to instantly kill any non-boss enemy.

Bakken Hood at 02:07 PM on 10.26.2009
Can I make two suggestions? 'Cuz I will. The first one is called "Nick is awesome." It's called that because it's true; Nick is awesome enough to give the free copy to Bakken Hood. If he's not, it can be pointed at his face with some threatening words to persuade him to do so anyway.
Second one: "Im-Leet." In Morrowind, one character ridicules you for asking about co-op. This assault rifle, named after the nonexistent Argonian he suggests you team up with, gives you an extra 25% healing when used with the "Cauterize" ability. When pointed at a Bethesda employee's face, it convinces them that open-world environments and co-op just belong together.

Wooo Borderlands! I'd so join for Co-op Night but game was sold out everywhere here.
So a weapon.
"Launcher of Awesome Gummy Doom"
Grenade Launcher that shoots Mini Helicopters made out of gummy candy but with French fry rotor blades. It goes and hovers over enemies and drops mini water balloons which are filled with acid.
Mmmm yummy Helicopter.

The Gun gun. It shoots Guns! the guns then home in on the enemy and explode, dealing damage based on level and rarity.
Brainp0wa at 03:21 PM on 10.26.2009
I call it the Summoner Geek gun. Its a gun for attacking the darkness. Whenever darkness is in range it fires the spell "Magic Missile" and then the gun asks if you want any Mountain Dew.

Hahah, I loved that video Brainp0wa!

Masenko Blaster. Shot from the forehead meant to miss every time.
Brandroid at 07:43 PM on 10.26.2009
The refrigarafryer. It shoots out flames, burning your enemies, and then it shoots out some cool (pun intended) liquid nitrogen to free them. Then you can admire them and enjoy your frozen person statue....or just smash them to pieces. The fire is shot first for a more dramatic looking statue.
Etanos at 08:42 PM on 10.26.2009
Vortex cannon. Creates small rips in your current dimension's space-time continuum at the target's vicinity. Results vary between explosions, implosions, target being sucked away slowly and painfully, target morphing into another game character, etc.
99.99% chance of killing your target in one shot, and probably everyone around it, including yourself. The leftover 0.01% is the miniscule possibility that you will destroy the entire universe except for the target. Since we, the makers of this gun would then no longer exist, we can't confirm whether or not the target would still survive after that. But we're reasonably sure that the target will die horribly and as long as that happens, who cares about the rest of the universe?

Crap-Your-Pantsanator Rocket launcher that blows your enemies into such tiny pieces that it makes you crap your pants.
smurphster at 10:26 PM on 10.26.2009
or conversely... crap-their-pantsanator... one shot makes all enemies in the vicinity crap their pants and die

"The Bird Feeder"
Sniper Rifle with high chance of explosive elemental damage. So when I lock you in my sights, blow you into little pieces, Bloodwing has something to snack on.
