Special Weapon Effects 
Edit
The destructor has come. - Unloads the entire magazine when scoped.
Usage Edit
The Destroyer's higher than normal Accuracy will be offset by its large amounts of recoil. The gun is accurate enough to make long range targeted fire, but not stable enough to score multiple Critical hits in a single pull of the trigger. When in combat it is advised to aim for the chest region and let the recoil carry the gun's muzzle toward the target's head. Most players will probably prefer a high quality Support Machine Gun with high accuracy and a scope, although this can be hard to find.
Notes Edit
- All Destroyers have exceptional accuracy, as they all share the same barrel.
- The special effect can cause issues with recoil at long ranges, though most editions have good recoil reduction.
- It is possible to interrupt the burst by reloading, unscoping, or changing weapons.
- The destroyer can spawn with a Pounder Magazine. In this case, the Destroyer will benefit from higher damage, and still fire all its bullets in a single (shorter) salvo.
- Roland, with his increased weapon Magazine Size, skills and mods that specifically improve Combat Rifles, can make exceptionally good use of Destroyers.
Trivia Edit
- The flavor text may be a reference to the movie "Ghostbusters" (1984); derived from lines involving the main antagonist from the movie, Gozer The Destructor. [1]
- It is incorrectly stated in the BradyGames Borderlands Guide that the special ability is ricochet bullets, it is later corrected in the Hyperion section of the guide.
Mechanics Edit
The Destructor effect comes from it's barrel, titled barrel5_Hyperion_Destroyer. Apart from the special effect, it is mostly the same as a standard barrel5. Differences are an extra +3% damage, +5 tech, and an increased zoom. For an explanation on how to interpret the information on the following table, please see the stat modifiers page.
