There are eight weapon manufacturers in Borderlands 4 responsible for making the five categories of weapons in the game: Sniper rifles, shotguns, assault rifles, submachine guns, and pistols. There are also three extra types that do not have guns of their own for use in the game. Instead, their parts can be found installed on various guns. The manufacturers in question are as follows:

Hyperion: This manufacturer provides guns with a shield that activates upon aiming down sights. This also helps improve accuracy when firing rounds.

Cult of the Vault: This manufacturer will put the players’ ammunition reserves to good use rather than finishing up the magazine. This also reduces the need to constantly reload.

Atlas: This manufacturer equips weapons with the ability to fire tracker darts as well as grenades. An enemy hit by a tracker dart will be marked, ensuring that any other bullet fired from the gun will be directed toward the enemy.

Now let us look at all the other types of MAnufacturers in the game.
