Torgue manufacturers combat shotguns, machine guns, repeaters, rocket launchers, semi-auto sniper rifles, and submachine guns. Mister Torgue serves as the company's CEO and spokesperson In Borderlands 2 it is revealed that the Torgue corporation was founded by Mister Torgue High-Five Flexington. The lower tier/more common Torgue guns use a very industrial and brutal looking green and yellow paint scheme that feature yellow and black checkers, while the higher tier Torgue weapons are identified with a flashy silver and red paint scheme with black and white checkers. They also have a much more striking and definitive paint scheme that incorporates racing checker stripes. Their rocket launchers and shotguns are among the most powerful in Borderlands 2. They also have stopped making sniper rifles and SMGs, instead focusing on powerful yet somewhat inaccurate rocket launchers, pistols, shotguns & assault rifles. In Borderlands 2, Torgue's main defining feature on all of their guns is explosive bullets. Oddly, for their constant needling of Jakobs for their use of wood in their guns, Torgue fabricates various plywood boards found throughout New Haven and Old Haven. It is also discovered during Firepower: Plight Of The Middle Man that Torgue is supplying weapons directly to the bandits, which greatly annoys Marcus Kincaid. They tend not to excel in any one area – they might not have the astounding accuracy of a Hyperion or the raw power of a Jakobs – but instead are well-rounded. They make good shotguns, heavy machineguns and sniper rifles. Torgue makes above average quality firearms, and are more common than the Atlas Corporation's weapons. In Borderlands 2, the names for many of Torgue's weapons have a sexual connotation. Torgue seems to follow an often violent naming scheme for their weapons. This manufacturer's guns can easily be identified by their black, grey or gunmetal paint schemes and heavy construction – a stark contrast to many other manufacturers who have much brighter colour schemes for their weapons.
