About the Scorpio XL:
The Scorpio XL is a Legendary Weapon in Borderlands 3. This Tediore Pistol is a great throwback to the first Borderlands game. Because when you reload the Scorpio XL it will become a stationary turret that has a shield on it, which is very reminiscent of the Scorpio turret that Roland had as an action skill in BL1. The Scorpio XL even makes the same gun firing sound from the original Scorpio.

I don’t need to tell you that occupation forces are expensive. But with the Mobile Oppression Palace, a few dignitaries can oppress your entire planet for pennies a day. – Ambassador Mervin
