Borderlands V Wiki

S&S Munitions is a returning weapons manufacturer in Borderlands V. After being muscled out of the Pandoran market by the homemade guns of Bandit, S&S has returned better than ever with their unique Über Mode addons. They follow a German naming theme that are often ( likely purposefully ) misspelled.

S&S weapons tend to have a high magazine size and a above average fire rate, but their lower than average damage, which makes them reliable but ammo hungry guns.

S&S Shields have the Tactical prefix, which grants the user slightpy increased speed or/and reload speed while thw shield is at least partially full.
