Hail

Hail  is a Assault Rifle of Vladof manufacture in Borderlands 2.

Special Weapon Effects
Fires bullets in an arc. After a certain distance bullets will split in two. Damage done with this gun heals the wielder.

Usage & Description
The Hail's unique projectile behaviour can make this a challenging weapon to use effectively. Hail rifles trade accuracy and distance for damage and area denial. This weapon is best used as it's name implies: to rain a devastating hail of elemental damage down upon a wide area, showering advancing enemies and ones behind cover alike. Hip-firing Hail rifles while advancing or strafing will spread elemental damage over a large area while firing while scoped will concentrate massive damage onto a tighter space. The gun's inherent inaccuracy advises either disciplined fire control or ammo regeneration.

The +150% Critical Hit Damage that many Hail variants spawn with, further increases this weapon's effectiveness by showering massive damage down upon enemies' critical spots. This feature, combined with the "Moxxi weapon effect" of damage healing the wielder, make the Hail a weapon to be reckoned with... once its unique firing pattern has been gotten used to.

Trivia
