Also try Minecraft! – Always incendiary. Fires a unique 3x3 spread of fireball blocks that ricochet off of surfaces. These pellets ricochet multiple times and explode upon contact with an enemy. 100% splash damage.
Usage & Description[]
The Blockhead's fixed 3x3 fireblock distribution makes it more predictable than most shotguns, and the high projectile count per ammo unit expended makes it a highly efficient shotgun. Its efficiency increases in confined spaces, where its bouncing projectiles will be more likely to strike a target. Due to the explosions created, the Blockhead is extremely useful for penetrating shielded enemies.
Notes[]
The 3x3 fireblock pattern is fixed and any added projectiles will not visually show but will be included in the damage of the weapon.
The Gentle prefix will increase the number of projectiles to x11 instead of x9 resulting in increased damage.
The "drunk" effect from a Grog Nozzle will increase the number of projectiles by 5 and will spread the 3x3 pattern drastically.
Like with E-tech weaponry, the Blockhead will not set off the orb from Gaige's One Two Boom skill.
The Blockhead's gun damage is boosted by grenade damage bonuses.
Being a Tediore weapon, the Blockhead's reload damage is also increased by grenade damage bonuses.
Trivia[]
Under close examination, the fire block projectiles bear a resemblance to the Minecraft fire texture.
The flavor text is a reference to some of the randomly-selected phrases which appear on the Minecraft title screen, which recommend other independent games.
"Tediore" is written on the side of the weapon, in a pixellated font, in the place of the normal Tediore brand. This is visible from the first-person viewpoint, but more easily seen when the weapon is examined from inventory.
The 3x3 pattern of the projectiles is based off of a crafting table from Minecraft.
