According to a more recent interview by [1UP.com] with CEO and president of Gearbox Software, Randy Pitchford said, the game's astounding arsenal will feature over 650,000 weapons. An addition of 150,000 new weapons came from the inclusion of alien technology. As the game currently now features over a million guns, and thanks to the "manufacturing" system, the player will see different type of weapons every time they play the game.
The features of the maps will also be randomly generated. While towns, and the general paths connecting them will remain the same, Borderlands features a system that randomly instances the surrounding landscape, with randomly placed things such as bunkers, towers, caves, enemies, and exploding cacti. All of this is done without a loading screen. Gearbox plans that the player will not see a loading screen after they boot up the game.
