Storm (sniper rifle)

The Storm is a Sniper Rifle manufactured by Maliwan. The Storm can be obtained randomly from any suitable loot source but has a higher chance to drop from human Badasses.

Special Weapon Effects
Decreased projectile damage, increased elemental effect damage, accuracy and capacity. On impact, 6 or 7 short lived orbs of electricity are created, which shock any enemy in their vicinity until they dissipate.

Usage & Description
The Storm is best used against tightly packed groups of enemies, since its area-of-effect blast damages every individual enemy and due to its shock element it also eats through their shields quickly.

On the other hand, being a Maliwan sniper rifle the damage is notably reduced and the fact that it is always of shock element hampers its versatility. This weapon is not designed to be a "one shot, one kill" sniper rifle, and players will find more raw power in weapons such as Hawk Eye, Cobra, or Sloth.
