Quotes

"Isn't it time you take your weapons to the next level? Sure, old-fashioned slug throwers have served you well in the past, but so did Bologna sandwiches. You've grown. Your tastes have changed. They've refined. It's time you had a gun that evolved with you and didn't feel like a family heirloom. Maliwan believes in honoring the past by embracing the future. Every Maliwan weapon is designed by the skilled technicians in our bleeding-edge laboratories to pack as much elemental punch as possible. Our staff of artisans crafts each weapon to look as good as it performs. Maliwan offers a full line of pistols, shotguns, rifles, and rocket launchers to fit every style. If it's not elemental, it's not a Maliwan." — Maliwan sales pitch, Official Borderlands Guide

"The voice of the Maliwan corporation speaks. The hordes stand assembled, frothing at the mouth. Thirsty for blood. They know not of the terror they shall feel, the beautiful destruction that will befall them. For in the hands of their ostensible victim, polished to a sheen and wielding the power of every element under the sun, lies a Maliwan rifle. The deus ex arma. The god in the weapon. Maliwan." — (Radio advertisement)

"Combat is an art. Maliwan weapons are the paint. Our elemental tech transforms the battlefield from a cacophony of idiocy, into a masterpiece of destruction. The unwashed hordes will burn, and fry, and melt, into a portrait of exquisite death. Maliwan. Beauty through destruction." — (Radio advertisement)

"Maliwan is pleased to offer technologically advanced weapons for the more... discerning warrior. Every Maliwan gun places the power of the elements in your hands – the elegance of their form matched only by the deadliness of their tech." — (Radio advertisement)

"Is shooting bullets just not cool enough for you? Get a Maliwan and light some people on fire!" – Marcus Kincaid

"Maliwan guns shoot more lightning than the next leading competitor!" – Marcus Kincaid

"Where Form meets Function." – Maliwan poster

"Ride the lightning while spitting balls of fire. Buy a Maliwan." – Mad Moxxi

"Do you like melted chocolate? Do you like melted faces? Melt whatever you want with a Maliwan!" – Mad Moxxi

"Maliwan ... high tech solutions for violent problems." – Mad Moxxi

Trivia/Notes

Maliwan manufactures over 32,400 repeater pistol, 45,000 revolver, 14,400 assault shotgun, 81,000 patrol submachine gun, 16,800 sniper rifle, and 18,900 rocket launcher varieties (Information taken from the Borderlands manual).

Official company mottos are "Technology will set you free" and "Where form meets function" (Information taken from the Borderlands manual).

Maliwan guns are always elemental (either slag, corrosive, incendiary, cryo or shock, but not explosive) and generally have increased elemental effect chance and damage when compared to guns from other manufacturers.

Most Maliwan weapon types almost always have the "Bonus Elemental Damage" trait, the amount of bonus damage differing between weapon types.

Maliwan guns tend to have quick reload times and reasonable accuracy, but come with limited magazine size and bullet damage (due to elemental effect reducing raw damage).

Maliwan weapons in Borderlands 2 have unique reload animations. Sniper rifles use a break-action system in which the player inserts an elongated magazine, pistols use revolver-like triangular cartridges, submachine guns use either an energy pod (white or green rarity) or a constantly rotating ammunition disc that is wound when reloaded (unique, purple, and legendary rarity), and rocket launchers use a large, segmented cartridge of rockets that spin into place.

Maliwan weapon sights often share similar characteristics; rocket launcher sights are small and rectangular with detailed screen statistics, SMG and pistol sights are small hubs that produce a holographic, rotating reticle, and sniper rifles have futuristic scopes that feature a hexagonal pattern when zoomed in.
