Borderlands 3: How to equip weapon trinkets

When playing Borderlands 3 it's all about customization and what makes you a great character when playing your game. You can do that with whatever weapons you carry, depending on the abilities and talents your Vault Hunter uses. Another unique way to do this is to use weapon trinkets. These hang from the side of your weapon when you use them. Here's how you equip them to your weapon.

How to equip weapon trinkets in Borderlands 3

Before equipping a weapon trinket, will these little tokens improve your game significantly? The unfortunate news is that they don't. They aren't going to provide your characters with notable passives or give them a new skill to use in battle. It's a fun and adorable way to turn your weapon into a unique weapon while you carry it into battle. You're probably the only one who can see it, so don't expect your friends to notice it while you blast baddies.

Fortunately, when you receive your trinket, these little cosmetic items don't take up space in your general inventory. They are on the side, so you can take as much as you can. When you're ready to equip one, navigate to your main inventory and you'll see a slot to the left of your weapon. Scroll down and click on that location. You'll see the list of available weapon trinkets you've picked up, and you can choose which one you want to place on your gun. Again, since none of these offer any viable gameplay perks, passives, or skills, you have a choice that's best for you.

You can equip the same to multiple weapons. You are not limited to one trinket per weapon. So you can place your favorite trinket on every weapon you carry. You will go around this charm and show it to any baddies you shoot.

While weapon trinkets don't have any legitimate benefits, Borderlands 3 still offers a variety of choices and customization. You can start playing the game right now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC through the Epic Games Store.
