Special Weapon Effects

Found out about this I was like DAAAMN, I'm bringing that gun BACK!  – Fires projectiles with Explosive properties.

Usage & Description

The Explosive projectiles fired by this weapon deal 1.8x the listed damage, for a total of 6.0x Critical Damage (paired with the inherent 4.2x damage for Jakobs snipers). The explosion which occurs when a projectile hits a surface with a added hit-box or a normal surface can be used as means to dispose of multiple hostiles, due to the explosion's splash damage.

Notes

• In the first weeks of Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage, there was some unrest in the community due to the fact that the Cobra, formerly featured in the trailers for the DLC, was seemingly absent. In a forum post, Gearbox employee Hellface clarified that the Cobra is in fact in game, as well as completely revealed the drop rate.
• Every time a Burner-type enemy drops a sniper rifle, the sniper rifle dropped has a .88% chance to be the Cobra.

Trivia

• The Cobra was a legendary sniper rifle featured in Borderlands. The flavor text quote is presumably stated by either of Tiny Tina or Mr. Torgue, and references its return to Pandora in Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage.
• The Cobra is one of only a select few elemental Jakobs weapons.
• The Cobra is the second weapon from Borderlands to be featured in Borderlands 2 with a different rarity and manufacturer, the first being Sledge's Shotgun.
