Deadly Bloom is a Unique Nova Shield manufactured by Torgue. Deadly Bloom is obtained from the mission The Overlooked: This is Only a Test located in The Highlands. It can also be obtained as a rare drop from any suitable loot source.
Special Weapon Effects
What do you mean...theoretically? – Explosive Nova triggered when shields or health is depleted.
Usage & Description
- A melee-oriented Zer0 can use this shield to great effect, enhancing his survivability. Since he will typically be going toe-to-toe with enemies, the chance of catching them within the blast is excellent. Furthermore, if he is downed at close range, the secondary nova blast can prove very useful for getting a Second Wind, or a least softening surrounding enemies, enabling him to perform Killing Blow.
- This shield is useful for any character to assist in getting second winds as the secondary explosion can quickly revive the player, even if an enemy is behind them. Using it to this effect is easiest when either focusing on close combat or to protect against common melee enemies that may ambush the player unexpectedly, such as Skags or Psychos.
Notes
- Triggers any time the wielder enters Fight For Your Life mode--regardless of whether the shield has recharged since the last nova.
- The Deadly Bloom can also be obtained from the special chests in the Leviathan's Lair in Captain Scarlett's DLC.
- Pete The Invincible can also drop this shield at a very low chance.
- The game treats the shield as an Aftermarket item, and as such can be obtained rarely from red chests and enemies.
Trivia
- The flavor text refers to the movie The Last Starfighter where the Death Blossom is being used for the first time (it had not been tested yet).
- The Deadly Bloom was originally supposed to be a Legendary item, however due to a minor mishap in the coding the item ultimately became Purple rarity.
