Heart Breaker

 is a Shotgun manufactured by Hyperion.

Special Weapon Effects
Increased projectile count, fire rate and always has incendiary tech. Shoots in heart shaped pattern.

Usage & Description
Heart Breaker's high projectile count to low ammo cost ratio make it an effective weapon, but the Hyperion make can make it hard to handle in some situations where accuracy is needed most.

This shotgun is especially well paired with The Bee, often surpassing weapons of Epic or even Legendary rarity in raw damage output. This is particularly useful against enemies and bosses that take more than one clip to kill due to its relatively efficient ammunition:bullet ratio (1:10 as opposed to most other shotguns, of which the best tend to have a ratio of around 1:6, 2:10, 3:14, or 4:18), excellent magazine size, high fire rate, and high accuracy when emptying an entire clip without stopping.

As with many other optional quest rewards, on your second playthrough it is often best to wait until you have completed the game before taking this quest; doing so will scale all optional quests to level 50, including their rewards - such as this shotgun.

Trivia

 * The weapon's full Title in the game files is "Miss Moxxi's Heart Breaker;" however, "Miss Moxxi's" is treated as a prefix by the game engine and can be replaced with other prefixes.
 * The weapon's flavor text is a reference to The Ink Spots' 1941 song, "I Don't Want To Set the World On Fire", made famous to gamers by its inclusion in Fallout 3 by Bethesda Softworks.
