Special Weapon Effects Edit

Pele demands a sacrifice! - Incendiary x4, large proc cloud (fireball-style).

Usage & DescriptionEdit

The Volcano on its own is a solid example of a good Sniper Rifle in Borderlands. Its elemental accessory is quite strong, and does not decrease damage like its generic counterparts. The Volcano should be used from long range in typical Sniper Rifle fashion. However, it's worth noting that while the Volcano is strong enough on its own to let the fire damage it produces take second priority, if the Volcano is fired at tightly packed groups of enemies the fire will spread to other targets in close proximity to the primary target.

Notes Edit

• After firing this weapon, the target will conflagrate. The ball of flame will stay visible for a few seconds and potentially block other targets in view. Several shots in rapid succession can sometimes conceal whole groups of enemies, and put the player at a serious disadvantage.
• The Volcano's large proc cloud has a larger area of effect than most other fire element weapons in the game, giving it a greater chance to ignite groups of unshielded enemies on fire.

Trivia Edit

• The red text is a reference to the Hawaiian volcano goddess, Pele. In history Hawaiian inhabitants would throw animals into a volcano as a sacrifice to her.

Mechanics Edit

The Volcano derives its effect from acc2_Maliwan_Volcano_Incendiary. It provides a massive +16 Tech. While it does not give extra damage (which is already good for an elemental accessory), it provides increased Fire Rate.
