Borderlands 2 has the greatest, silliest, most WTF gun ever

Lock, load, and ratatat-bang-squeal.

Move over, Dead Space 2′s Hand Cannon, there’s a new silly, silly weapon in town. Say helloooOOOOOOooooo to Borderlands 2′s Energizing Bane, the discerning Vault Hunter’s first choice in one-stop, one-pop conflict negotiation solutions.

Its bark is worse than its bite.

This Hyperion SMG packs high accuracy and damage, but there’s so much more to this skag-shooter than meets the eye. More specifically, it meets the eardrums instead:

If that’s not bad enough, equipping the gun will also reduce your movement speed to a veritable slog. I don’t know, that’s a small price to pay for being the loudest, most totally obnoxious player in the game that everybody has to wait around for, don’t you think? Yuuup, I can’t wait to get it.
