So I was talking to my friend about Borderlands and he said that you never find the same weapon. Is this really true because another one of my friends said he did.
I have never personally seen two guns that are exactly the same. There have been a couple that are extremely similar, but not the same. Even if the guns do have the exact same stats, they still might have different sights, colors, clip sizes, etc.
The point is, it is very possible to find the same weapon due to the area you searched in, quest you turned it, etc. However it is VERY unlikely and there really are hundreds of thousands of different guns in the game.
