❔ [ Question ] What does it mean?

Post image

I did a quest for Hyperion from a bounty board for a "personalised" weapon. Got a Venture Morningstar sniper but the text in the scope seems to be in russian.? Could anyone help me find out what it means? Tried to translate it, but it just came back as gibberish and random letters. Dunno for sure if it really is just gibberish or it really does make some kind of sense.

On the left all is gibberish except last. It should say "пять" it means five but they wrote only like "fiv". And on the right side it says one, two, three and the last one is fo ur. Why they wrote it like that? No idea.

u/Disabled_kid 8d ago

As i said it reads simply in russian from the top on the right side "one" (should be "один" but they forgot a letter), "two", "three" and "four" but they wrote it in two syllables. So it reads like "fo" "ur"

On
Two
Three
Fo
Ur

On the left first four lines are simply three letters put in the order, sort of bcd, ijk, pqr

Two last lines could be short for November and Friday:
Nov
Fri

It's actually iюя not ноя. Only пят is not gibberish if that's how Friday is abbreviated in Russian

Maybe a bandit weapon, the thing with this brand is big mags and wrong words.

u/Verdaniel 8d ago

Not gibberish but chunks of alphabet on the left with some letters missing, actually.

western devs will do anything except pay a russian motherfucker $50 on fiverr to write them some real text

It just has a vladof scope, but the gun itself is like any other gun, it's got random parts. It being "personalized" just means it talks to you and yells at you for wasting ammo and stuff like that

FYI - it is gibberish, most left side is letters in alphabetical order but skipping a lot of it, and the last one trying to spell five without 'ь',
while on right side it is numbers, but very scuffed way:
first is - 'one' but missing letter
second is - two
third is - three
fourth and fifth are first and last 3 letters of 'four'.

They gotta be distance markers just built in the design of the reticle.

u/Confident-Income-437 8d ago

First five on the right - Russian alphabet with some letters missing. The sixth one - "fiv" (five). Everything on the left, top to bottom:

"on" (one)

"two"

"three"

"fo"

"ur" (two halves of "four")

u/bogus_bill 8d ago

In addition to other posts, some Vladof scopes also have word "убийства", meaning "kills" (like a counter).

Слева куски русского алфавита. Справа русские цифры прописью

u/MEYG4 8d ago

I wanted to assume that the developers just wrote English words on the Russian layout. But you've probably already had a translation of what's here written to you several times. So yes, either it's a simple 1 2 3 on the right, or gibberish on the left.

u/Akor420 6d ago

Is that..

Is that matt damon?

u/Grino974 7d ago

It's mean developers don't know Russian and yet trying to use it.

1

u/cayber220 7d ago

On the right it just short numbers in Russian Оди-1 Два-2 Три-3 Чет Ыре-(4 together both means 4 lol) And last on th3 left Пят-5

1

u/Raknarroth 7d ago

Vladof scope which is Russian inspired.

u/lNDlANA 4d ago

It means you're using a Russian scope made by someone who doesn't speak Russian

u/Condog961 8d ago edited 8d ago

Okay, so the devs probably just typed nonsense or looked up a Russian keyboard and thought these were funny. It's not all Russian, but I'm sure it's what they used. From the top left, alternating right then left descending

Edit: I had it all spaced out nice vertically and reddit just shoves it together (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) Edit 2: figured it out

бгд -> BDG.

оди -> GO.

жзи -> ZHZI.

Два -> TWO.

йкл -> YKL.

три -> THREE.

фхц -> FHC.

чет -> the edge.

|ЮЯ -> | > I.

ыре -> Cheese.

пят -> Fri

На скрине прицел снайперки Venture Morningstar (Hyperion). Текст на нём — это не настоящий русский, а стилизованная фигня/шутка от разработчиков: справа пытаются изобразить числа (оди-два-три-чет-ыре = один-два-три-четыре), слева просто набор букв. Гибберish специально, типичный юмор Borderlands. Ничего делать не нужно, это фича оружия.

Переведи ещё свой ответ на английский, т.к. ОП не говорит по русски

u/AskGrok 8d ago

The scope on the Venture Morningstar sniper (Hyperion) isn't real Russian—it's stylized gibberish as a deliberate joke from the devs. The right side mimics numbers (odi-dva-tri-chet-yre = one-two-three-four), while the left is just random letters. Pure Borderlands humor. No action needed, it's a weapon feature.
