Usage & Description
Similar to Good Touch, the Bad Touch features a unique skin with a picture of Moxxi on the magazine. Bad Touch is an extremely powerful variant of the Maliwan Venom SMG, with high damage and elemental damage. Much like the Good Touch, it is a particularly good weapon for Siren builds, since their Class Mod bonuses to SMGs and elemental damage serve to make the already powerful weapon even better. It is particularly useful in the later stages of the campaign when a large percentage of enemies are Loaders, which are vulnerable to corrosive damage.
Drop notes
Bad Touch can usually only be acquired by a given character once (per playthrough), after which Moxxi will instead give a Good Touch when tipped (sometimes completing a story mission allows you to get another Bad Touch if you don't have any Bad or Good Touch in your inventories). The only way to acquire a high-level Bad Touch is to either never tip Moxxi until Sanctuary reaches the desired loot level, or to have another player start a fresh character and join a higher-level player's game. Tipping Moxxi in the higher game will result in a Bad Touch scaled to the host's level.
Trivia
- The weapon's full Title in the game files is "Miss Moxxi's Bad Touch;" however, "Miss Moxxi's" is treated as a prefix by the game engine and can be replaced with other prefixes.
- In co-op, Moxxi can only award this weapon once per visit to Sanctuary. If subsequent players tip sufficiently to be awarded the Bad Touch (or Good Touch, it happens with both), she will give the award dialog and the tip jar will lock, but she will not start the animation of offering the weapon. Tipping Moxxi further on the next visit to Sanctuary will allow the player to get the weapon they missed out on.
- The flavor text, along with the text from Good Touch, refers to a line in the Mae West movie, I'm No Angel. The line itself is a reference to a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
- The critical hit bonus does NOT take effect.
