Vladof is a weapons manufacturer in Borderlands V, the company is founded by Comrade Vladof. Vladof weapons tend to have lower accuracy but also have an extremely high rate of fire compared to other guns of similar level rating. Their firearms can often be identified by an orange/brown finish, with grey or white accents. They follow a Russian and East European themed naming scheme.

The company's main gimmick has remained unchanged, keeping the signature high fire-rate on all weapons but now have the gimmick of having a secondary weapon attached to the main weapon.

Secondary Weapon Fire Mode[]

Vladof weapons have various underbarrel attachments that offer a different way of dealing damage. On assault and sniper rifles switching modes is represented by rotating the barrel so that the currently active option is on top – with exception of the bipod attachment.

Vladof underbarrel attachments include:

Pistols:[]

  • Taser - Tasers fire in a slight arc and will continuously deal damage to both enemies directly hit and enemies around the taser itself, which

means even missed tasers can still do damage if the user can keep enemies in the taser's vicinity. Uses ammunition from the character's ammo reserve rather than the current magazine, and regenerates itself after a few seconds.

  • Zip Rockets - This attachment fires tiny rockets in a straight line. It has its own magazine which will regenerate after a short time.
  • Second Barrel - A secondary barrel below the regular one. The barrels rotate after every shot, increasing the fire rate of the weapon. This attachment is

automatic and can't be toggled.

Assault rifles:[]

  • Grenade Launcher - Does not draw from the current magazine and has a varying maximum of grenades that can be launched at one time. Regenerates one grenade

at a time.

  • Secondary Chain Gun Barrel - A weapon with a chain gun barrel can have a secondary one as an attachment. By default, only the upper one is active. On mode switch they will

rotate by 90°, activating them both for increased fire rate. Ammo consumption and recoil will increase with the fire rate as well. Assault rifles and sniper rifles:

  • Bipod - Switching modes deploys a bipod that drastically improves handling and accuracy, but reduces movement and aim speed.
  • Shotgun - Possesses variable projectile counts and pellet damage statistics, and like the grenade launcher attachment, the weapon regenerates

one shotgun round at a time separate from the main magazine but will draw each round from the user's current ammo reserves. Each shot of the shotgun will take one bullet.

Sniper rifles:[]

  • Rockets - Similar to the assault rifle's grenade launcher, this

attachment grants additional explosive projectiles. The amount of rockets can vary.

Heavy weapons:[]

  • Micro-Rockets - This alters the method of projectile delivery, rather than being an alternate weapon attached and draws from the current magazine of the

weapon. Fires a swarm of smaller missiles to bombard an area instead of a single large rocket.

  • Big-Boy Rocket - The damage dealt by this single rocket is at least double, and sometimes triple that of the normal rocket fired. Regenerates its round

relatively slowly, but does draw from reserve ammo pool and not the current magazine.

  • Mortar - Designed to assault enemies behind cover. Regenerates its round relatively slowly, but does draw from reserve ammo pool and not the

current magazine.

Spewers:[]

  • Glob Shot - This alternative fire mode shoots out long reaching balls of the spewer's default element. Consumes multiple ammo per shot.
  • Overheater - Once activated, the spewer's range doubles and it's damage is boosted considerably, but it consumes double the ammo.
  • Grapple Hook - A grappling hook that pulls enemies closer to the vault hunter, has a long recharge period.

Quotes[]

  • "In these trying times, the Vladof corporation is certain of one thing, and one thing only: they are coming. Coming to take your food. Your home. Your loved ones. Perhaps not today, perhaps not tomorrow, but soon. And as they sharpen their swords and smile through their teeth at their subjects, Vladof has only one question to ask: will you be ready to fight back?" (Radio advertisement)
