@BraquesOfficial To be perfectly honest, I have no idea! The graffiti was done by our very talented concept artist @SergiBrosaGo

#COV rifles for #Borderlands3. These were designed to hit a cobbled together, junky aesthetic. We made use of some old #Borderlands2 designs to reinforce the junk yard story.

@DeputyPirek Thanks! One of the manufacturers we can pull a lot of influence from real world guns.

#Dahl SMG paintovers for #Borderlands3. These were done over Mike Schultz's outstanding base model. The first is a study of the body and the second is nailing down the barrels.

@Lazy_man95 Thank you! It was fun finding the evolution to BL3.

[Kevin Duc @DucDoesArt]

@ThatSamWinkler Awe, thanks Sam!

[Kevin Duc @DucDoesArt]

@Polygoblin So much incredible work. We had a fantastic time working with @Polygoblin and seeing these things come back looking so good. High-poly's out of sight!

[Kevin Duc @DucDoesArt]

@Polygoblin @TocoGamescom @StephenTrimble Oh man. It's a team effort for sure. I am guilty of drawing some, let's say, not real geometry:)

[Kevin Duc @DucDoesArt]

@AncientPangolin Ha. Great way to describe the gameplay:)

@Hybrid818 @ConceptFartist Ah very cool. I think we were looking at FN F2000’s and P90’s. The design language on Dahl is based heavily on modern polycarbonate rifles. Must have grabbed some of those curves.

[Kevin Duc @DucDoesArt]

@Hybrid818 @ConceptFartist Kind of. Each weapon has five grips/stocks, so we have to experiment with big silhouette changes to get the variety. This particular one might not be the most comfortable but occasionally you have to come up with something that looks cool and might only just hit the ergonomics:)

[Kevin Duc @DucDoesArt]

@mentalmars Whoa never noticed that! A happy accident with the camo texture.

[Kevin Duc @DucDoesArt]

@JWMullen18 @ProdigyXL Indeed:)

[Kevin Duc @DucDoesArt]

@brturossi @ProdigyXL Thanks Bruno! We tried to give each manufacturer a different weapon promise in looks and gameplay.

[Kevin Duc @DucDoesArt]

@hsimxp @ProdigyXL Thank you so much! Sound design on weapons was headed by our very talented @TheFeezus. Check out his audio videos!

[Kevin Duc @DucDoesArt]

@BraquesOfficial Ha. It is indeed pronounced ‘Duke’. Apparently a French origin.

[Kevin Duc @DucDoesArt]

@3DJimmyB You crushed this one! Great feel and presentation in game.

[Kevin Duc @DucDoesArt]

@BigRookGames Thank you! It’s actually some kind of floating magnetic stock. We used simple IDE style cables to play up the robust power tool style.

#Hyperion Shotgun render and sketches from #Borderlands3. This was the first weapon we made on the project.

#Hyperion shotgun paintovers for #Borderlands3. Base mesh by @3DJimmyB. He took the gun to completion and you can see his beautiful work here: https://t.co/FimxMJfV6u
