Butcher is a legendary shotgun in Borderlands manufactured by Hyperion.

Examples are on the talk page.

Special Weapon Effects[]

Ahhh.... Fresh meat! – 500% Burst Fire with an extremely high fire rate; each shot consists of 3 pellets.

Usage & Description[]

The Butcher is an unusual shotgun. While its damage output is significantly lower than other shotguns, it is complemented by its exceptionally high fire rate and automatic burst fire. Due to its generally mediocre accuracy and low clip size (often only allowing two pulls of the trigger before reloading), it is best used in a "hit-and-run" fashion. Its high ammo burn also encourages the user to have ammo-regenerating skills. Like all assault shotguns, The Butcher may spawn with any elemental accessory except fire.

Trivia[]

  • The name and red text is a reference to Blizzard Entertainment's recurrent Diablo character, The Butcher, a bloated monstrosity with the opening announcement, "Ahhh... Fresh meat!".

Mechanics[]

The Butcher effect comes from the barrel4_Hyperion_Butcher barrel, which has little in common with barrel_4. For an explanation on how to interpret the information on the following table, please see the stat modifiers page.
