“
There are many weapons in this world, but only the best have what it takes to bear the Hyperion insignia. Every gun that leaves our facility has been tested by multiple independent inspectors and is guaranteed to meet our impossibly high standards. All Hyperion guns are meticulously calibrated by our technicians and certified to levels of accuracy never before seen in the industry. Whether you're a professional marksman or simply someone who appreciates a finely-crafted piece of machinery, you can't go wrong with a Hyperion. Financing is available to those who qualify.

”
Hyperion provides New-U Station services and is one of the chief weapon manufacturers on Pandora. They manufacture submachine guns, combat rifles/assault rifles, repeater pistols, rocket launchers, shotguns, and sniper rifles. Hyperion weapons are made of dark pink, red, silver, or black metal of a sort and have greater accuracy and damage when compared to guns of similar levels.
In Borderlands, weapons produced by this manufacturer are harder to find than most others, with only Atlas guns being harder to find. In Borderlands 2, Hyperion guns are much more common.

Involvement
In Borderlands, Hyperion maintains a Claptrap manufacturing plant in the Dividing Faults. This location forms a pivotal plot point in the fourth DLC, Claptrap's New Robot Revolution when the Interplanetary Ninja Assassin Claptrap uses it to 'claptrap' many of Pandora's inhabitants and wildlife to further the cause of the robot revolution.
The Hyperion Vice President, Mr. Blake then arrives on the planet to personally take charge of a counter-insurgency operation, accompanied by a group of soldiers.
The opening of the Vault and the appearance of Eridium gained the attention of a Hyperion employee named Handsome Jack who utilized it for Hyperion's profits. After opening the Vault on Elpis, he decides to use the Warrior to cleanse Pandora of bandits.
After killing Harold Tassiter and destroying the Claptrap product line, Jack becomes the president of Hyperion. He then declares himself as the dictator of Pandora, intending to rule over the populace with an iron fist to eliminate "bandits", whilst also gathering Eridium to charge the Vault Key he stole from Patricia Tannis to unlock another Vault containing a powerful creature known as the Warrior, in order to secure his rule over the planet. He also maintains a facade when addressing everyone on Pandora, including his attempt to build the city of Opportunity and using the Hyperion Truth Network to spread propaganda. Jack is killed shortly after the Warrior is destroyed.

Borderlands 2
Hyperion has a corporate theme in Borderlands 2, with the theme of their weapon names being business buzzwords. The weapons having a sharp, angular appearance with their magazines inserted into the top of the weapon. The Hyperion weapon gimmick is "reverse recoil;" weapons start out with severe sway, but sustained fire causes them to increase in stability instead of decreasing. The listed accuracy on the weapon is what is achievable after the sustained fire increases their accuracy to maximum.
The Hyperion corporation and its CEO, a manipulative, charismatic narcissist named Handsome Jack, are the main antagonists in the game's plotline. Hyperion has extensive interests all across Pandora and has set up huge facilities to mass-produce loaders and harvest valuable Eridium ore.
Some scoped Hyperion weapons in Borderlands 2 (excluding sniper rifles) seem to have large, bulky scopes, with an unnecessarily long-range zoom (especially seen on shotguns).

Gun Appearance by Quality
Hyperion shotguns at increasing rarity levels, common, uncommon, rare, very rare, Gemstone, E-tech, Legendary, Seraph, and Pearlescent.
White weapons
Faded white and yellow color scheme. They appear well used with signs of environmental damage.
Green weapons
Bright Hyperion-yellow with white details. Colors are more vibrant with little to no signs of environmental damage.
Blue weapons
Green with a yellow stripe with little to no signs of environmental damage.
Purple weapons
Glossy black with a red stripe. Yellow colored elements of some parts on the lower rarities are now high-polished golden metallic. Pristine appearance, no corrosion nor weathering visible.
Gemstone weapons
Weapons with the "Diamond" prefix are mostly made of a cyan colored material, with other parts made of a reflective pink material.
E-tech weapons
E-tech weapons use the same color scheme as Purple weapons.
Legendary weapons
Different weapon classess use different colors and patterns. Bitch SMG has terra cotta matte paint job with scratch-like writings and some elemets in grey. Conference Call shotgun has glossy black finish with a bright red vertical stripe.
Seraph weapons
Actualizer SMG has gradient color scheme with dark blue near the barrel, steelblue for the central section, and silver-ish grey stock. Interfacer shotguns use the color scheme simillar to that found on White rarity weapons.
Pearlescent weapons
Being the only Hyperion-made Pearlescent weapon, the Butcher has light firebrick color with a horizontal white stripe.
Other rarity-specific visual changes:
Hyperion SMGs are reloaded slightly differently depending on reload speed:
The ammo-feeding mechanism on slower reloading (>2.5s) SMGs pops out, allowing clips to be replaced, where it then lowers back down.
The ammo-feeding mechanism on faster reloading (≤2.5s) SMGs pops out much farther; the gun is then physically tilted up to drop the used clip.
Quotes
"Digi-structing your future." - Motto
Notes
Hyperion submachine guns, shotguns and repeater pistols feature increasing accuracy as the trigger is held down. They will mostly always have high sway, but that will be rectified when fired continuously. Sniper rifles are the same, however they will gradually become more accurate while using the scope and do therefore not require being fired to reach maximum accuracy. The listed accuracy on the weapon is what is achievable after the sustained fire increases their accuracy to maximum.
Due to their large spray, Hyperion submachine guns are often awkward to use because the first few shots usually hit nothing. Firing short, precise burst is almost impossible. Their superior stats compared to other manufacturers usually make up for it though.
Hyperion weapon sights often contain a consistent aesthetic; pistols have a flattened, futuristic sight with a trapezoidal screen when zoomed in; SMGs have a vertically rectangular reflex sight, shotguns use an extremely angled hexagonal sight, and sniper rifles have a futuristic look with an octagonal screen when zoomed in.
All Hyperion weapons load from a magazine inserted at the top of the weapon. When reloading, Hyperion pistols and sniper rifles open a motorized hatch at the top for the user to remove the old magazine and insert a new one, which is then automatically loaded into the weapon. Hyperion shotguns and submachine guns are loaded in a fashion similar to that of the real-world FN P90; when reloading, the weapon will pop up the old magazine for removal and the new magazine is lowered automatically when inserted.
Accuracy in Hyperion weapons can also depend on certain weapon grips; pistols use an elongated grip, shotguns use an aluminum pump, trigger with thumbhole/grip and SMGs use a dual thumbhole grip.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
In Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, there are two distinct sets of Hyperion weapons, "old Hyperion" and "new Hyperion", as a result of Hyperion undergoing a "transitional phase" during the events of the game:
What with the Dahl attack and Jack's impending rise, Hyperion is going through what a sweating PR shill might say is "a transitional phase." Look for different styles of Hyperion weapons built during this period.
—Loading screen tip
The two weapon sets share the same pool of weapon parts from various manufacturers, but have substantially different titles and prefixes. For example, a new Hyperion pistol named "Earnest Synergy" will have the same Vladof twin barrel and accuracy-enhancing laser accessory as the old Hyperion pistol named "Trustworthy Expeditious". Occasionally, a new Hyperion weapon may have old Hyperion naming or vice versa; the material (see below) is what distinguishes old- and new-style weapons.
New Hyperion weapons are essentially unchanged from those in Borderlands 2, except for the addition of laser weapons and the replacement of slag with cryo.
Old Hyperion weapons use materials similar to those used in the original Borderlands, with a primary reddish color and a white horizontal stripe. This reddish color darkens towards crimson with increasing rarity, although blue-rarity weapons are predominantly black carbon fiber with red accents. Both styles have the characteristic Hyperion "reverse recoil"; however, old Hyperion weapons have higher damage output at the cost of significantly lower accuracy and fire rate. (Lasers are an exception to this rule.)

Lawrence De Quidt Maxim Turner Alma Harren
Lawrence De Quidt founded Hyperion's artificial intelligence branch, prototyping the robots that now surround you. In his later years, De Quidt dedicated his life to correcting personality flaws in the early prototypes for the CL4P-TP steward bots. He passed away before making this dream a reality. Maxim Turner bankrolled the early days of Hyperion. One of the initial proponents of the Last Corporate War, Turner profited greatly from the fall of the central government. Using his vast resources to acquire Alma Harren and Lawrence De Quidt, Founder Turner built the Hyperion corporation into the diversified superpower it is today. Hyperion co-founder Alma Harren earned three-hundred confirmed kills during her time as a sniper in the Corporate Wars. After the downfall of the central government, Founder Harren made a name for herself as the mercenary who couldn't miss. Harren headed up Hyperion's weapon design department, prototyping the stabilizer technology that keep Hyperion guns the most accurate in the galaxy.

"Hyperion – the name means business. Hyperion delivers quality weaponry for every scale and scenario, from small arms through orbital defense platforms. If the timely and thorough obliteration of your enemy is important to you – and we know it is – put your trust in the biggest arms manufacturer in the six galaxies. When you mean business, you mean Hyperion."
"Hyperion – we know what it is to be engaged in an all-out battle for survival, both in business and war. That's why the talented and skilled artisans of our weapons division put their heart and soul into every weapon we make. Quality hardware at the right price point, for the sophisticated and intelligent business entity on the go! When you mean business, you mean Hyperion."
"Hyperion. We care about your business as much as we care about ours. That's why reliability, accuracy and price point are key features of all the items in our frighteningly huge and deadly arsenal. But don't take our word for it – just ask the billions of people who've died at the pointy end of a Hyperion weapon. When you mean business, you mean Hyperion."
Notes
According to the game mechanics, old-style Hyperion weapons are of another manufacturer, "GD_Manufacturers.Manufacturers.Hyperion_Old" instead of "GD_Manufacturers.Manufacturers.Hyperion".

Borderlands 3
Hyperion weapon samples in Borderlands 3.
Hyperion firearms maintain their gimmick of reverse accuracy but now also have an energy shield on their weapons. These energy shields are brought up when aiming down the sights and can soak some hits separate from the body shield. The downside is that the shield only protects the front of the user and has to be recharged. The shields can have one of the following abilities:
Regular Shield
A basic shield that functions in the same way as a body shield. Has a blue tint when active.
Amped Shield
When hit, the next shot will deal increased damage. Has a purple tint when active.
Genesis Shield
When hit, it converts the damage taken as ammo that is added directly to the weapon's magazine. Has a green tint when active.
Redirect Shield
Has a chance to reflect melee and projectile damage back to enemies. Has a beige tint when active.

Hyperion provides New-U Station services and is one of the chief weapon manufacturers on Pandora. They manufacture submachine guns, combat rifles/assault rifles, repeater pistols, rocket launchers, shotguns, and sniper rifles. Hyperion weapons are made of dark pink, red, silver, or black metal of a sort and have greater accuracy and damage when compared to guns of similar levels.
In Borderlands, weapons produced by this manufacturer are harder to find than most others, with only Atlas guns being harder to find. In Borderlands 2, Hyperion guns are much more common.

In Borderlands, Hyperion maintains a Claptrap manufacturing plant in the Dividing Faults. This location forms a pivotal plot point in the fourth DLC, Claptrap's New Robot Revolution when the Interplanetary Ninja Assassin Claptrap uses it to 'claptrap' many of Pandora's inhabitants and wildlife to further the cause of the robot revolution.
The Hyperion Vice President, Mr. Blake then arrives on the planet to personally take charge of a counter-insurgency operation, accompanied by a group of soldiers.
The opening of the Vault and the appearance of Eridium gained the attention of a Hyperion employee named Handsome Jack who utilized it for Hyperion's profits. After opening the Vault on Elpis, he decides to use the Warrior to cleanse Pandora of bandits.
After killing Harold Tassiter and destroying the Claptrap product line, Jack becomes the president of Hyperion. He then declares himself as the dictator of Pandora, intending to rule over the populace with an iron fist to eliminate "bandits", whilst also gathering Eridium to charge the Vault Key he stole from Patricia Tannis to unlock another Vault containing a powerful creature known as the Warrior, in order to secure his rule over the planet. He also maintains a facade when addressing everyone on Pandora, including his attempt to build the city of Opportunity and using the Hyperion Truth Network to spread propaganda. Jack is killed shortly after the Warrior is destroyed.

Borderlands 2
Hyperion has a corporate theme in Borderlands 2, with the theme of their weapon names being business buzzwords. The weapons having a sharp, angular appearance with their magazines inserted into the top of the weapon. The Hyperion weapon gimmick is "reverse recoil;" weapons start out with severe sway, but sustained fire causes them to increase in stability instead of decreasing. The listed accuracy on the weapon is what is achievable after the sustained fire increases their accuracy to maximum.
The Hyperion corporation and its CEO, a manipulative, charismatic narcissist named Handsome Jack, are the main antagonists in the game's plotline. Hyperion has extensive interests all across Pandora and has set up huge facilities to mass-produce loaders and harvest valuable Eridium ore.
Some scoped Hyperion weapons in Borderlands 2 (excluding sniper rifles) seem to have large, bulky scopes, with an unnecessarily long-range zoom (especially seen on shotguns).

Gun Appearance by Quality
Hyperion shotguns at increasing rarity levels, common, uncommon, rare, very rare, Gemstone, E-tech, Legendary, Seraph, and Pearlescent.
White weapons
Faded white and yellow color scheme. They appear well used with signs of environmental damage.
Green weapons
Bright Hyperion-yellow with white details. Colors are more vibrant with little to no signs of environmental damage.
Blue weapons
Green with a yellow stripe with little to no signs of environmental damage.
Purple weapons
Glossy black with a red stripe. Yellow colored elements of some parts on the lower rarities are now high-polished golden metallic. Pristine appearance, no corrosion nor weathering visible.
Gemstone weapons
Weapons with the "Diamond" prefix are mostly made of a cyan colored material, with other parts made of a reflective pink material.
E-tech weapons
E-tech weapons use the same color scheme as Purple weapons.
Legendary weapons
Different weapon classess use different colors and patterns. Bitch SMG has terra cotta matte paint job with scratch-like writings and some elemets in grey. Conference Call shotgun has glossy black finish with a bright red vertical stripe.
Seraph weapons
Actualizer SMG has gradient color scheme with dark blue near the barrel, steelblue for the central section, and silver-ish grey stock. Interfacer shotguns use the color scheme simillar to that found on White rarity weapons.
Pearlescent weapons
Being the only Hyperion-made Pearlescent weapon, the Butcher has light firebrick color with a horizontal white stripe.
Other rarity-specific visual changes:
Hyperion SMGs are reloaded slightly differently depending on reload speed:
The ammo-feeding mechanism on slower reloading (>2.5s) SMGs pops out, allowing clips to be replaced, where it then lowers back down.
The ammo-feeding mechanism on faster reloading (≤2.5s) SMGs pops out much farther; the gun is then physically tilted up to drop the used clip.
Quotes
"Digi-structing your future." - Motto
Notes
Hyperion submachine guns, shotguns and repeater pistols feature increasing accuracy as the trigger is held down. They will mostly always have high sway, but that will be rectified when fired continuously. Sniper rifles are the same, however they will gradually become more accurate while using the scope and do therefore not require being fired to reach maximum accuracy. The listed accuracy on the weapon is what is achievable after the sustained fire increases their accuracy to maximum.
Due to their large spray, Hyperion submachine guns are often awkward to use because the first few shots usually hit nothing. Firing short, precise burst is almost impossible. Their superior stats compared to other manufacturers usually make up for it though.
Hyperion weapon sights often contain a consistent aesthetic; pistols have a flattened, futuristic sight with a trapezoidal screen when zoomed in; SMGs have a vertically rectangular reflex sight, shotguns use an extremely angled hexagonal sight, and sniper rifles have a futuristic look with an octagonal screen when zoomed in.
All Hyperion weapons load from a magazine inserted at the top of the weapon. When reloading, Hyperion pistols and sniper rifles open a motorized hatch at the top for the user to remove the old magazine and insert a new one, which is then automatically loaded into the weapon. Hyperion shotguns and submachine guns are loaded in a fashion similar to that of the real-world FN P90; when reloading, the weapon will pop up the old magazine for removal and the new magazine is lowered automatically when inserted.
Accuracy in Hyperion weapons can also depend on certain weapon grips; pistols use an elongated grip, shotguns use an aluminum pump, trigger with thumbhole/grip and SMGs use a dual thumbhole grip.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
In Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, there are two distinct sets of Hyperion weapons, "old Hyperion" and "new Hyperion", as a result of Hyperion undergoing a "transitional phase" during the events of the game:
What with the Dahl attack and Jack's impending rise, Hyperion is going through what a sweating PR shill might say is "a transitional phase." Look for different styles of Hyperion weapons built during this period.
—Loading screen tip
The two weapon sets share the same pool of weapon parts from various manufacturers, but have substantially different titles and prefixes. For example, a new Hyperion pistol named "Earnest Synergy" will have the same Vladof twin barrel and accuracy-enhancing laser accessory as the old Hyperion pistol named "Trustworthy Expeditious". Occasionally, a new Hyperion weapon may have old Hyperion naming or vice versa; the material (see below) is what distinguishes old- and new-style weapons.
New Hyperion weapons are essentially unchanged from those in Borderlands 2, except for the addition of laser weapons and the replacement of slag with cryo.
Old Hyperion weapons use materials similar to those used in the original Borderlands, with a primary reddish color and a white horizontal stripe. This reddish color darkens towards crimson with increasing rarity, although blue-rarity weapons are predominantly black carbon fiber with red accents. Both styles have the characteristic Hyperion "reverse recoil"; however, old Hyperion weapons have higher damage output at the cost of significantly lower accuracy and fire rate. (Lasers are an exception to this rule.)

Lawrence De Quidt Maxim Turner Alma Harren
Lawrence De Quidt founded Hyperion's artificial intelligence branch, prototyping the robots that now surround you. In his later years, De Quidt dedicated his life to correcting personality flaws in the early prototypes for the CL4P-TP steward bots. He passed away before making this dream a reality. Maxim Turner bankrolled the early days of Hyperion. One of the initial proponents of the Last Corporate War, Turner profited greatly from the fall of the central government. Using his vast resources to acquire Alma Harren and Lawrence De Quidt, Founder Turner built the Hyperion corporation into the diversified superpower it is today. Hyperion co-founder Alma Harren earned three-hundred confirmed kills during her time as a sniper in the Corporate Wars. After the downfall of the central government, Founder Harren made a name for herself as the mercenary who couldn't miss. Harren headed up Hyperion's weapon design department, prototyping the stabilizer technology that keep Hyperion guns the most accurate in the galaxy.

If the timely and thorough obliteration of your enemy is important to you – and we know it is – put your trust in the biggest arms manufacturer in the six galaxies. When you mean business, you mean Hyperion."
"Hyperion – we know what it is to be engaged in an all-out battle for survival, both in business and war. That's why the talented and skilled artisans of our weapons division put their heart and soul into every weapon we make. Quality hardware at the right price point, for the sophisticated and intelligent business entity on the go! When you mean business, you mean Hyperion."
"Hyperion. We care about your business as much as we care about ours. That's why reliability, accuracy and price point are key features of all the items in our frighteningly huge and deadly arsenal. But don't take our word for it – just ask the billions of people who've died at the pointy end of a Hyperion weapon. When you mean business, you mean Hyperion."
Notes
According to the game mechanics, old-style Hyperion weapons are of another manufacturer, "GD_Manufacturers.Manufacturers.Hyperion_Old" instead of "GD_Manufacturers.Manufacturers.Hyperion".

Borderlands 3
Hyperion weapon samples in Borderlands 3.
Hyperion firearms maintain their gimmick of reverse accuracy but now also have an energy shield on their weapons. These energy shields are brought up when aiming down the sights and can soak some hits separate from the body shield. The downside is that the shield only protects the front of the user and has to be recharged. The shields can have one of the following abilities:
Regular Shield
A basic shield that functions in the same way as a body shield. Has a blue tint when active.
Amped Shield
When hit, the next shot will deal increased damage. Has a purple tint when active.
Genesis Shield
When hit, it converts the damage taken as ammo that is added directly to the weapon's magazine. Has a green tint when active.
Redirect Shield
Has a chance to reflect melee and projectile damage back to enemies. Has a beige tint when active.
