Gearbox Software has picked up on speculation from fans surrounding a potential new detail rarity in the latest trailer for Tiny Tina'due south Wonderlands. Today, the programmer confirmed that the items are something new, but they're non part of a new rarity set.

This calendar week, Borderlands fans were treated to a new Tiny Tina's Wonderlands trailer. The trailer showed off the last two classes in the game and contained a few instances of loot dropping from enemies with a rainbow effect. Naturally, this led to speculation that the rainbow items could exist a new item rarity, but now Gearbox Software has stepped in to dash those dreams.

The coordinator for the Borderlands 3 Redux Mod @EpicNNG made a video on this rainbow rarity and speculated that the developer could have added a new rarity because three weapon manufacturers have been removed between Borderlands 3 and Tiny Tina'south Wonderlands. Notwithstanding, he also said they could be a new play on Seraph Crystals.

Seraph Crystals first appeared in Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate'southward Booty DLC for Borderlands 2. They're used to purchase Seraph weapons from the Seraph vendor. This weapon rarity is betwixt unique and legendary, and each item in it has positives and negatives. For example, the Actualizer has a high damage and fire rate, but the projectiles it fires are tedious.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is heavily inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, and then a weapon rarity with interesting caveats like Seraph would fit well. After today's news, fans now believe that these rainbow items are a form of currency used to purchase Seraph items or at least items with a similar drawback mechanic.
