Hyperion Manufacturer: Shotguns, SMGs, and Sniper Rifles

Hyperion guns come with a front facing holo-shield that activates when aiming down the sight and has limited health, and all their guns also offer increased accuracy the longer your fire the weapon. They have a higher rate of fire, generous magazines and overall balanced stats and are best suited for those who prefer to keep firing at mid to close range until the magazine is empty.

• Above average magazine size
• Above average fire rate
• Above average handling
• Average bullet damage
• Average accuracy
• Longer than average reload time
• Aiming down sights projects a front facing shield, which further encourages sustained fire
• Holding down the fire button progressively increases accuracy

Hyperion has legendary shotguns, SMGs, snipers, grenade mods and shields, most notably featuring the Transformer, possibly the best shield in the game.

The Hyperion corporation featured in both Borderlands 1 and 2 prominently, but its most significant role in the Borderlands universe is the manufacturing of the New-U stations which allow the player to respawn. They were directly involved in the first game's Claptrap's New Robot Revolution DLC, and were the central story element with Handsome Jack taking over in the second game.
