Vibra-Pulse

The Vibra-Pulse is a Laser manufactured by Maliwan. It is one of the items rewarded to the player for starting the mission Home Sweet Home from Moxxi's weapon crate located in Moxxi's Up & Over Bar in Concordia.

Special Effect
Always Shock. Fires a continuous beam that causes lightning to chain towards neaby enemies, damaging them every few seconds. When equipped, heals the user at a percentage of damage done.

Usage and Description
The Vibra-Pulse acts like a standard shock beam gun with continuous fire when the trigger is held down, but with added features. So long as the beam damages an opponent, any enemies within the radius of the targeted enemy will be damaged every second by chains of lightning that emit from the target currently in the crosshairs. This makes the Vibra-Pulse excel at decimating shields of multiple targets at once, especially if they are crowded together.

Additionally, being a Moxxi weapon, the Vibra-Pulse heals the user at a portion of damage done, making it extremely useful for leeching health from targets if they are bunched up together. A short burst can get a player up to half of his health back if there are targets nearby to transfer the chains of lightning to.

Trivia

 * The weapon's full title in the game files is "Miss Moxxi's Vibra-Pulse;" however, "Miss Moxxi's" is treated as a prefix by the game engine and can be replaced with other prefixes.
 * Common to other Moxxi weapons, the Vibra-Pulse is a reference to Moxxi and her tendency to mention sexual connotations, in this case, a vibrator.
