Players are finding guns they can’t shoot in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands

As was the case with the Borderlands games, spin-off Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands drops randomized weaponry in an endless gush, like a fountain but with sniper rifles instead of water. Those guns can only be used if you’re the right level for them, and it’s common for a quest to hand out something you won’t be able to wield until the next level-up. What’s not common is for that level to be higher than what’s currently achievable in the game.

As afrankiewicz12 on the Wonderlands subreddit spotted and commenters confirmed, you can receive weapons as high as level 43 (in this case a legendary submachine gun that shoots fire bullets and does more damage after you cast a spell). It’s not possible to actually get to level 43, however. The level cap in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is 40, and you’ll probably finish the main storyline around level 30 or so.
