Hellfire (Borderlands)

The Hellfire
The Maliwan Hellfire is an SMG with a special weapon effect, which allows every bullet to ignite, setting the target on fire (when applicable) multiple times, and dealing extreme damage over time.

Examples are on the talk page.

Weapon Effects

 * We Don't Need No Water... - This prefix indicates that the Maliwan Hellfire accessory is used, allowing the gun to set the enemy ablaze, and also adds a chance to cause a mini explosion, setting enemies nearby on fire as well.
 * High to Very high Elemental Effect chance (effect augments We Don't Need No Water... on the 360, as it is not a 100% chance)
 * This gun can appear with or without a scope
 * The damage will vary by level and other effects will vary determined by the parts and quality tier.
 * This gun is ridiculously powerful against brutes and other unshielded enemies, leaving them a pile of ash within seconds.

Acquiring
There is no guaranteed way to acquire the weapon, other than being dropped by an enemy or found in a Chest. They are also available on Weapon Vendors infrequently.

Trivia

 * The Effect text "We Don't Need No Water" is a reference to a lyric found in many songs spanning the last half century or so. Most notably in a song called Fire Water Burn by the Bloodhound Gang.
