Magic Missile is a unique grenade mod manufactured by Maliwan. It is one of several "magic" grenade mods that were added to Borderlands 2 with the Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep DLC.
It is dropped by wizards, their badass counterparts, and the Handsome Dragon.
Special Grenade Effects[]
No wand required. Just point and shoot. – Always slag. Grenades slowly regenerate over time. Two (blue rarity) or four (purple rarity) child grenades home in on targets and explode instantly at the cost of one grenade. Character may shout "Magic Missile!" after use while playing in Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep.
Usage & Description[]
The grenades will travel for an extended period of time, bouncing off walls and homing in on any target that presents itself, including newly spawned enemies and stalkers that uncloak. The grenades will explode after extended travel time and upon impact, has a large splash radius that can possibly down the user. These grenades are always slag, making it suited for Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, as it makes use of the 3x slag multiplier while also compensating for the high amount of ammo consumption needed to take down enemies. This can be taken further with a Salvador that has Double Your Fun. The Magic Missile grenade, along with the other "magic" grenade mods in the DLC, regenerate grenades over time, increasing its usefulness.
Notes[]
- Only badass wizards can drop a purple-rarity Magic Missile.
- The combination of regeneration, slag, and homing nature of magic missiles gives an extremely versatile grenade mod with many applications.
- The most efficient way to farm a purple Magic Missile is throughout the Magic Slaughter: Badass Round, available at Murderlin's Temple. One may also attempt to summon a Badass Wizard by sacrificing items at the Sacrificial Altar, located at Dragon Keep. Please note that the item is, however, a rare drop.
Trivia[]
- The grenade mod is named for a spell in the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop role-playing game. Magic Missile is a very basic attack spell available to wizards that fires one or more projectiles of pure force and home in on a selected target.
- If a Vault Hunter uses this grenade mod to kill The Darkness, the door behind will open, leading to a Dice Chest.
- With a Magic Missile equipped, Axton may also shout "Magic Missile!" when he deploys his Sabre Turret.
