In early versions of the game, some legendary weapons - those with unique titles and special effects indicated by red description text - were glitched to be generated at a higher rarity level than was allowed. The game engine, not having a rarity color to assign to these weapons, made their titles the default white, but still ranked them higher in the inventory due to their greater rarity. After prolonged debate about the origins and purpose of these weapons, participants in the discussions coined the term "pearlescents" to describe them.

After prolonged debate about the origins and purpose of these weapons, participants in the discussions coined the term "pearlescents" to describe them. One of the fixes that came with Patch 1.3.0 was returning these weapons to their proper legendary rarity, orange. The third DLC, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, was released at the same time as this patch. With it, Gearbox introduced an actual pearlescent rarity, assigned to new guns with more powerful effects. The color of pearlescent guns is cyan. It has been widely speculated that naming the new level of rarity 'pearlescent' was a nod to the massive discussions that took place about the weapons in question.
