"Ignite" effect is cumulative: with every new hit it increases burn damage. It also has a higher elemental damage than any other Fire weapon. This effect is similar to "Give Sick" on the Pestilent Defiler.
 * Damage delivered by the gun is commonly much higher than listed, in some cases up to four times the damage.

Notes/Trivia
