[Pitchfork Variants]

The Pitchfork is a Legendary Sniper rifle manufactured by Dahl in Borderlands 2. Pitchfork is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source but has an increased chance to drop from Terramorphous the Invincible.

Special Weapon Effects

Mainstream'd! –  Fires 5 horizontal shots in a line, shaped in a "V" pattern. Consumes 2 ammo per shot.

Usage & Description

The Pitchfork has a tight 5 round spread and fires in bursts when zoomed. When trying to lead shots on enemies moving laterally, the spread greatly increases the chance of landing a critical hit. One can also utilize the burst by waving the gun down or up quickly during the burst, to help avoid a miss due to a sudden duck or roll that some of the bandits do.

It is also very good against large bosses like The Warrior or Terramorphous the Invincible since it is much easier to land most of the projectiles, if not all.
