Special Weapon Effects
Flee the wave - Shock and Corrosive x4, oscillating rounds, ricochet once. Increased accuracy.

Usage & Description
The Tsunami's combination of elemental affinities compliment each other well, especially considering the type of enemies it is typically found from. It's a powerful SMG that alternates between no elemental effect, and x4 shock and corrosive elemental effects. Its shock element works well against taking out shields, while corrosive works well against any armor a unit might have. While normally having to swap between 2 different weapons to deal with shielded or armored enemies effectively, just empty a clip on the target to destroy it. It is very effective against regular Crimson Lance units. It should be noted however, that Crimson Lance do come in shock and corrosive varieties, and the Tsunami will not do well against them.

Trivia

 * The "Flee the wave" text may be a reference to another gun in the game, the T.K.'s Wave. The flavor text for that weapon reads "Ride the Wave, Dude!" Whereas a small wave would be an opportunity for a surfer to ride, a tsunami would be a good reason for him to flee.

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