Special Weapon Effects

Boom! Boom! Boom! BOOM! BOOOM!!!! GOOD DOGGY!!! – Fires a low velocity, bouncing grenade which explodes each time it bounces. Grenade continues bouncing for a number of seconds before detonating. The grenade arc behaves more similar to a Rubberized Grenade Mod than other grenade-firing Assault Rifles.

Usage & Description

The Boom Puppy is a "Grenadier"-style Assault Rifle modified by Tiny Tina. It features a purple-and-pink motif, heart-patterned paint job with Tiny Tina's "stitched bunny" emblem adorning the "fin" area of the gun. Like most Grenadier Assault Rifles, the Boom Puppy uses three ammo per shot.

The grenade shot by the Boom Puppy bounces in a predictable, if difficult to control pattern, similar to Rubberized Grenades or the Rolling Thunder. The key difference is that the height of each bounce is much higher than the bounce on a Rubberized Grenade, regardless of the height it was fired from. This makes it even more difficult to judge where the grenade will fall and inflict damage.

It is possible to use the Boom Puppy in outdoor or open locations but its maximum damage potential is in enclosed spaces where the highest number of impacts (and thus explosions) are likely to occur. However, care must be taken that the grenade doesn't bounce back and seriously damage the player instead of their target.
