In Borderlands 3, you’ll notice that weapons come in several tiers: Common (White), Uncommon (Green), Rare (Blue), Very Rare (Purple), and Legendary (Orange). You may be content using guns in any tier early on, but it’s in your best interest to equip higher-tier guns during the late-game. However, there’s a separate category within those higher-tier weapons that you should pursue, and they’re called Anointed.

While not necessarily a new tier all its own, Anointed guns are identical to their standard counterparts but with a unique perk that impacts your character’s abilities in significant ways. For example, the Expert Firestorm increases weapon damage by 100% for a brief duration after using an Action Skill. However, not all Anointed weapon perks are helpful for every character as some are class-specific, like the Expert Hellshock, which specifically increases the cooldown for Moze’s Iron Bear by 30% after she exits her mech. It’s worth noting that not all Anointed Guns will have the same perks, as there is a degree of RNG that impacts the types you get.

Anointed guns can typically be purchased from Earl’s Veteran Rewards vending machine in Sanctuary. Keep in mind that you can only buy stock from this machine with your Eridium supply, so be smart about when you choose to fork over what little you have. But if you don’t have enough Eridium on hand, you’re welcome to leave it up to chance by killing high-level enemies and bosses.

If you’re curious about what types of Anointed weapons there are in Borderlands 3, then check out all the ones we’ve looted and purchased below. Though, if you’re more interested in standard guns, then jump into our feature highlighting the best Legendary, Very Rare, and Rare weapons we’ve found.

We’ve noticed that there are non-Anointed weapons that also come with exclusive perks; there are two of these types at the bottom of this feature. We’ve yet to understand how these weapons stand apart from their Anointed counterparts, but rest assured, they’re still quite powerful.

In addition, we have an in-depth Borderlands 3 beginner’s guide offering essential tips to follow. For all else, check out our roundup of all things Borderlands 3.

After appearing in The Coalition’s Gears 5, Terminator is back with its own game. From the studio that developed Heavy Fire: Afghanistan and Rambo: The Video Game comes Terminator Resistance, a first-person shooter headed to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on November 15 in Australia and Europe and December 3 in North America.

Terminator Resistance features an original story based on filmmaker James Cameron’s 1984 sci-fi action flick The Terminator and its sequel, 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Resistance takes place nearly 30 years after Judgement Day and “expands upon the Future War” Cameron hinted at in the films. You’ll play as Jacob Rivers, a soldier in the Resistance Pacific Division who is targeted by SKYNET and marked for termination.

Resistance will feature brand-new enemies to flesh out the Terminator universe, as well as iconic villains like the T-800 Endoskeleton, which was a Gears 5 pre-order bonus. Additionally, Resistance will purportedly include expansive character customization to play how you want, meaningful choices that impact the world and its characters, a bevy of tools to run-and-gun or hack your way through environments, and more. Check out some Terminator Resistance screens below.

Ever since All Elite Wrestling became a wrestling promotion back in January of this year, fans of the sport have been buzzing and excited for, simply put, choice. Now, the company has revealed the name of its upcoming Wednesday night programming on TNT: AEW Dynamite.

The two-hour weekly series kicking off on October 2 will air live on TNT at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET. For those unfamiliar with the brand, it’s a wrestling company constructed from the ground up and run by wrestlers, many of which are on the current roster like Matt and Nick Jackson (The Young Bucks), Brandi and Cody Rhodes, and Kenny Omega. AEW revealed some–pun intended–dynamite promotional art for the show. You can check it out below.

The image features in-ring talent featuring faces you may or may not know from the world of wrestling: Cody Rhodes, Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley, Awesome Kong, Brandi Rhodes, Kenny Omega, Luchasaurus, Dr. Britt Baker, MJF, Matt and Nick Jackson, Jungle Boy, Dustin Rhodes, and Nyla Rose.

Additionally, the wrestling promotion released a secondary poster featuring Cody and Dustin Rhodes, which you can see below.

AEW grew out of the friendship between The Elite (a spinoff of NJPW’s Bullet Club) members Omega and the Jacksons, which became the travel vlog series Being The Elite. The series grew into a weekly show series where fans could follow storylines and meet other wrestlers who would eventually join The Elite ranks: Cody & Brandi Rhodes, MJF, SCU, Adam Page, and more. In 2018, The Elite put on a special wrestling PPV in Hoffman Estates, IL called All In, which gave fans a glimpse of what’s to come.

Then, in January 2019, The Elite announced the formation of AEW with President and CEO Tony Khan–who is also the co-owner of the NFL team Jacksonville Jaguars–and since then, the promotion has put on some very fun and exciting PPVs, including a few free events, which was a welcomed surprise.

Many wrestling fans are excited for AEW’s weekly TV series, as it marks the return of a non-WWE company returning to cable television with a live series. AEW Dynamite comes to TNT on Wednesday, October 2. You can find the live schedule and info about tickets on the AEW website.
