The Snider is an extremely potent weapon that possesses increased elemental damage and a very high elemental effect chance at the cost of base damage with a Maliwan barrel, or optional recoil reduction on variants spawning with the Dahl barrel.
The Snider deals an additional 50% damage as a splash. This splash cannot crit, and is not boosted by grenade damage bonuses.
