Infinity is a legendary pistol in Borderlands 2 manufactured by Vladof.
It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source, but has an increased chance to drop from Doc Mercy located in Three Horns - Valley, the Gold Golem located in the Mines of Avarice, Chubby enemies in True Vault Hunter Mode, and Lt. Angvar located in The Burrows.

Special Weapon Effects

It's closer than you think! (no it isn't)

• Fixed magazine size of 1 and does not consume ammunition.
• Fires in an pattern, ignoring normal recoil behavior.
• Increased accuracy when aiming down sights.
• Decreased damage and fire rate.
• Cannot spawn with a slag elemental capacitor.

Usage & Description

The Infinity is very versatile and can be used as a fallback weapon at times when ammunition is running low. This is especially useful for extended usage as reloads or ammunition supply are not a concern. Its lemniscate pattern can take some getting used to, but may work in its favor compared to other pistols as it suffers substantially less from muzzle climbs.

Notes

• Patch 1.7.0 (released 26th November 2013) gave the gun the ability to drop in True Vault Hunter Mode and higher, as it was unable to do so previously.
• Because the magazine is perpetually full, every shot is eligible for Zer0's 0ne Sh0t 0ne Kill damage bonuses.
• This weapon works with Gaige's Cooking Up Trouble skill and allows constant health regeneration.
• The Infinity can spawn with the "Dva" prefix if it has the double shot accessory. However, this variant only has a 25% chance to fire a second shot.
• Unlike most legendary weapons, the Infinity can spawn with no accessory at all. Such an Infinity will bear the prefix granted by its elemental capacitor, or the prefix "Rapid" in the absence of an element. The Infinity does not receive grip prefixes.
• The lemniscate () firing pattern and infinite ammo make the Infinity a very useful backup weapon against Hyperion loaders, as their eyes and shoulders lie within the pattern, allowing for a high number of critical hits in a short time with minimal aiming. This also hurts usage in other areas, as smaller targets become harder to hit at range, with Rats often presenting a huge issue. Every eighth shot has 100% accuracy, i.e. every eight shot hits at the intersection of the lemniscate.
  • With Gaige's Close Enough skill, the Infinity's effectiveness at longer range is drastically improved due to missed shots having a chance to ricochet towards targets. On the same token, the Infinity also works very well with Anarchy, as the Infinity's magazine is perpetually full, it is impossible to accidentally lose stacks of Anarchy, but it is also impossible to activate Discord as it requires a premature reload.
  • Although the Infinity does not consume ammunition, it still requires at least one unit of ammo to function.
  • Having even one rank in Gaige's Smaller, Lighter, Faster skill or equipping a Punk class mod reduces the Infinity's magazine size to 0, making it unusable. In the case of the former, however, she can equip a Necromancer class mod with a "Neutral" prefix to counter the magazine size penalty.
• Support Sirens can put the Infinity to good use when crippled. If any team companion is reviving Maya and at least one point is invested in Restoration, she can shoot indefinitely to help keep the reviving character alive.
• Under the benefits of Blood-Filled Guns, it is possible for Krieg to reload the Infinity, bringing the number of bullets in the magazine up to the boosted level. This is one of few ways to reload the Infinity, yielding an identical animation to any other Vladof pistol. The Infinity will not use up the additional ammo in the magazine, and the magazine will return to normal when the effect ends. This has no beneficial effect.
  • Otherwise, the Infinity can also be reloaded by depleting all ammo with another pistol, switching back to it and picking up additional pistol ammo again.
• Salvador's Money Shot skill will be applied to the Infinity but requires Gunzerking to be used. While gunzerking, the infinity must be continuously fired while the other gun (a pistol that must be capable of consuming ammo) empties the pistol ammo pool before gunzerking stops.
  • Due to the Infinity's fixed magazine size of 1, it will receive a smaller bonus from Money Shot.
• Any increase to accuracy will tighten the firing pattern, although it will never fully eliminate it.

Trivia

• The Infinity has the same effect as the original Borderlands repeater pistol The Dove.
• The flavor text is a reference to a quote from Stephen King's short story The Jaunt.
  • The actual quote is "It's longer than you think!"
  • In the short story, the titular subject is a teleportation process which lasts for eternity to a conscious mind (thus the connection to the term "Infinity"), driving its subjects to insanity or instant death.
• A SHiFT code which grants a single Dva Infinity was included with the Diamond Plate Loot Chest. Its card caption reads "How did Vladof manage to make a gun that can fire bullets infinitely? Easy. They used... like... Vault-juice. Or something. Shut up."
• The Infinity was in a promotional image of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, but is absent from the game.
• An Infinity pistol is Lilith's weapon of choice in the film.
