Description & Usage
Like all Tediore unique weapons, the Avenger does not have any special effects, apart from the ammo regeneration. Stats wise, it's damage, critical hit damage and magazine size are much larger than that of a generic combat rifle. Its only downside is the single fire mode, rather than the 3 round burst of other classic combat rifles. The Avenger has a huge magazine for a combat rifle, even more so for a single-shot gun. With Tediore's incredibly fast reload speeds, the Avenger will fire non stop, just about as fast as the user can (manually) pull the trigger. The Avenger has very high tech, making elemental Avengers interesting weapons. The tech, high accuracy, single shot and high ammo combination makes it a good weapon to trigger elemental effects on far away enemies.

The avenger is best used at medium long range. While not quite as powerful as a standard Sniper Rifle, it can manage several critical hits in a row until the target is neutralized. Note that the Avenger has a zoom higher than that of any other Combat Rifle, and rivals some of the best Sniper Rifles.

Drop Guide
The Avenger has a chance to drop from Badass Desperadoes, Badass Engineers, and Badass Infantry. Like all pearlescent weapons, the Avenger can also be dropped from Crawmerax and found in Crimson Lance weapon chests.
