For the weapons of the same name, see Invader.

Invader is a legendary repeater pistol in Borderlands manufactured by Hyperion.

Examples are on the talk page.

Special Weapon Effects

12 bullets invade your skull – Unloads the entire magazine when scoped.

Usage & Description

The Invader effect only activates when scoped; it gains a big increase in fire rate, and pulling the trigger once will result in the weapon firing until the magazine is empty. It can be interrupted by using a melee attack, reloading, or otherwise un-scoping. Notice that while the flavor text says "12" bullets, the Invader will empty its entire clip, be 12, 18 or 20 rounds (or more with extra mod/skill effects). The Invader's high accuracy lends it to be used at medium range as a possible combat rifle or SMG substitute.

Notes

  • The Invader effect is equivalent to the Destroyer combat rifle effect.
  • The Invader is one of the three pre-Knoxx Pearlescent weapons.
  • The Invader in action [1].
  • Despite the flavor text, the Invader can have magazines much larger than 12 bullets.
  • Similar to Sledge's Shotgun, the Invader has a special property of +10,000% burst fire count, meaning it could fire a burst of 100 rounds if it's magazine were big enough. This could theoretically be reached with Lilith's Phoenix triggering often enough.
