Notes

• When points are invested in both Fire Fiend and Buzz Axe Bombardier, the thrown buzz axe will both explode and have a chance to light enemies on fire.
• When a point is invested in this skill, the buzz axe is treated as a grenade. Because of this, it will no longer receive benefits from Maylay Shields, but can now trigger Blood Bath and counts towards grenade associated challenges, while also dealing greatly reduced damage to Constructors due to their high resistance to grenade damage.
• Buzz Axe Bombardier can be extremely powerful when combined with Strip the Flesh, and class mods that increase explosive damage.
• The explosion has a surprisingly large area of effect. This means Krieg does not actually need to hit an enemy to damage them with this ability, making a thrown buzz axe much more effective against targets that would have been difficult to strike, such as Rats.
• Krieg can damage himself if the axe explodes too close to him.
