Snider is the title of a group of common sniper rifles in Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. They are manufactured exclusively by Maliwan and feature either the Dahl or Maliwan barrels.

Usage & Description[]

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.
