Lightning Bolt is a unique grenade mod manufactured by Maliwan. It appears exclusively in Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep. The Lightning Bolt can be dropped from Sorcerers, and Necromancers, as well as their badass variants. It also has a chance to drop from the Handsome Dragon.

Special Effects[]

What's a jigawatt?  – Always shock. Shoots straight forward with a lightning graphic and explodes on impact. Character may shout "Lightning Bolt!" and a custom throwing sound will be heard after use while playing in Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep. Regenerates a grenade every 25 seconds.

Notes[]

Trivia[]

  • The name of the grenade is a reference to a spell in Dungeons & Dragons.
  • The flavor text is a reference to the 1985 movie Back to the Future, where a lightning bolt is said to produce 1.21 gigawatts of energy. (The correct pronunciation of "gigawatt" is with two hard Gs, like the first G in "Gaige"; in the movie, however, it's spoken with a soft g sound, like the second or the letter "J".)
  • With a Lightning Bolt equipped, Axton may also shout "Lightning Bolt!" when he deploys his Sabre Turret.
