Changes: Dahlminator

Revision as of 11:48, 17 October 2019

Dahlminator is a unique Dahl E-tech pistol. It is a variant of the E-tech Dart pistol type. Dahlminator is obtained from the mission The Lost Treasure located in Sawtooth Cauldron.

Weapon Special Effects

Dodge this. – Always corrosive. Fires slow-moving, homing projectiles. Upon impact, projectiles stick to the enemy (or surface) briefly before exploding, dealing corrosive damage in a small area. Projectile bounces if they hit an inert surface.

Usage & Description

The Dahlminator is a standard Dahl E-tech Dart pistol with a guaranteed corrosive elemental capacitor and homing projectiles. As Dart projectiles also ricochet, this weapon is excellent at hitting enemies behind cover without much thought having to be put in to predict where the projectile will go.

As the projectiles are homing on targets, Gaige can make excellent use of this weapon by combining this with Anarchy stacks. However, at high Anarchy stack count, the initial projectile angle may be too steep to home on target before hitting an obstacle (wall/ground included).

Notes

Like all E-Tech pistols it cannot deal a critical hit under most circumstaces.
A hotfix on 10/12/13 increased the stability and magazine size of the Dahlminator and all other Dahl pistols as part of the Borderlands 2 $100,000 Loot Hunt.

Trivia

The flavor text is a reference to the film "The Matrix". The character Trinity says the flavor text. 1

-The Dahlminator has noticeably higher stats than the average Dahl [[E-tech]] [[Dart]] gun which make this an attractive weapon, but in terms of use there isn't really much of a difference between this gun and a regular E-tech Dart gun, with the exception of the guaranteed Corrosive element.

+*Like all E-Tech pistols it cannot deal a critical hit under most circumstaces.
-*If the prefix "Twin" is present, the Dahlminator will fire two bullets instead of one, at the cost of four bullets per shot.

-*No shots from this gun will trigger a critical hit, even if the dart is directly aimed at and lands on a critical point on the target.
-*This weapon's name is a combination of the word 'Dahl' and 'Dominator'.
-*Its also likely a combination of "Dahl" and "Terminator"
