- For the unique submachine gun in Borderlands 2, see Crit.
Crit is a unique submachine gun in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Maliwan. It is obtained via mail by tipping Miss Moxxi aboard the Sanctuary III.
Special Weapon Effects[]
Slippery when wet. – Always shock. Above average weapon stats, with massively increased damage. 150% critical hit damage. 8% weapon damage lifesteal. Has a 5% chance to be dropped when reloaded.
Description & Usage[]
The Crit has extraordinarily high damage, with other great stats to back it up. It deals so much damage that it's approximately 20 times stronger then a purple SMG of the same level, giving it one of the highest damage per second of any weapon in the game. Along with its extremely high damage output, the Crit also has some of the highest lifesteal of any weapon in the game, allowing it to outheal taken damage provided the Crit is hitting enemies.
Because the character is usually un-killable while dealing damage with the weapon, the most vulnerable time of using the Crit is during reloads, amplified by the weapon's chance of being dropped. This makes effects that increase magazine size valuable while using the Crit. Moze's ammo regeneration skills can keep her firing forever, eliminating the weapon's downside completely.
Notes[]
- Unlike the Moxxi weapon from Borderlands 2, the Crit will not heal the character for any damage they deal while held. It will only heal damage dealt by the weapon.
- When the weapon is force dropped, it is instantly reloaded.
- Also, equipping it from the ground will cause the weapon to glitch. It cannot be reloaded manually and the ammo count will be stuck on the item that replaced it. Opening the ECHO menu will fix this.
- Because the Crit is acquired by tipping on Sanctuary, this weapon is easy to get on at lower levels, and Anointments can be farmed rather easily instead of needing to be rerolled.
Trivia[]
- This weapon is the Borderlands 3 counterpart of the Crit, which originally appeared in the Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep DLC for Borderlands 2. Both weapons are identical in function and only differ by appearance and the means through which they are obtained.
- Unlike the weapons obtained from tipping Moxxi in Borderlands 2, there is no limit to how many Crits a character can acquire per playthrough.
