Volcano (Borderlands)

The Volcano is a Maliwan branded weapons and has a x4 fire element, which means it will always catch an enemy on fire, unless they are immune. This is very useful against Bandits and Skags as they are fleshy and fire burns them. The effect "Pele demands a sacrifice!" it is a reference to the Hawaiian volcano goddess of the same name, hence the sacrifice and the name of the gun.

Effect
"Pele demands a sacrifice!" is actually slightly more interesting than it appears to be. The weapon does do massive fire damage and the Red Text does go hand in hand, but it also has "fire splash damage". You can actually shoot one enemy in a group and set nearby enemies or barrels on fire as well (which can clear out huge areas in a single shot). Also, unlike other sniper rifles, this gives you one additional option when shooting: you can shoot at the ground near your enemy's feet, if for some reason your shots won't hit their body or head. On small/low level creatures this will still kill them almost instantly as the amount of fire damage is absurd. If not, they will probably burn up in a few seconds.
