Polybius

Overview
The Polybius is a Legendary shotgun manufactured by Tediore.

Special Weapon Effects
- Weapon fires in a 4x4 grid pattern, beginning with four sets of four descending projectiles in a horizontal line, followed by four sets of 4 projectiles in a vertical line.

Usage
The Polybius has mediocre damage, but reasonable fire-rate for a shotgun, allowing it to deal significant damage if fired accurately. This may be difficult due to the grid fire pattern, which makes the weapon's utility questionable at best.

When reloaded, the Polybius will spawn a Tediore Land Crab, which will seek and explode on targets in range for decent damage.

Trivia

 * The Polybius is a reference to the Polybius Square Cipher, a method of encryption which encrypts letters into numbers. In this case, the numbers 21. 11. 33. 14. 24. 42. decrypt to the word Fandir.
 * Fandir is a reference to the Mysterious Amulet in the Borderlands 2 DLC: Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, which mentions Fandir upon completion of the quest. The name Fandir also appears in the weapon description for The Striker, a shotgun in Borderlands 2.
