Ascerbic is the title of a group of common submachine guns in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. They are manufactured exclusively by Hyperion with old-style materials and prefixes and feature the corrosive-only Maliwan barrel.
Usage & Description[]
Old-style Hyperion's SMGs have higher damage output at the cost of significantly lower accuracy and fire rate than their modern analogs. They also have a limited version of Hyperion's "reverse recoil" when aimed down the sights only.
The Ascerbic is part of a sub-group of SMGs that only can spawn with a fixed-element Maliwan barrel. They feature the higher-than-usual elemental damage/second and element chance granted by the Maliwan barrel what can make them excellent choices for combat until a more suitable weapon is obtained. These parameters achieve even higher values, if the SMG is equipped with a Maliwan grip.
Notes[]
- Other SMGs in this grouping manufactured by the "old" Hyperion include the Boiler (incendiary), Brainstorm (shock), and Fridge (cryo).
- The Ascerbic only comes in green or higher rarity.
- In addition to the Ascerbic, a variant of this weapon exists as the Weisenheimer, made by the "new" Hyperion.
- The Ascerbic is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source.
