History ShoutOut / BorderLands2

* The mission "Splinter Group" deserves special attention for the insanely high ShoutOut quotient. You're tasked by Patricia Tannis to exterminate a ssplinter group of escaped mutants. Their names are Lee, Ralph, Mick and Dan, they have a friend named June, they live in the sewers and you lure them out of hiding with pizza. [[TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Sound familiar?]] Before you fight them, you fight a group of mutants who all have the suffix -Rat in their name, so you fight a [[FridgeBrilliance LITERAL Splinter group]]. There's also a stealth ShoutOut in there: [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas Mick and Ralph are sure far from Freeside.]]

* A unique shotgun can be found called [[{{Fallout 3}} Three Dog]].
