The Defiler is most effective at medium range, but does not suffer any weaknesses at close or long range, and is exceptionally well suited to fight all forms of [[Crimson Lance]] (except [[Lance Chemical Trooper]]s). [[Critical Hit]]s are usually fatal, but body shots also do exceptional damage due to the strength of the corrosion on the Defiler.

The Defiler, in addition to such a high damage and elemental effect, had the ability to literally give sick. This is activated when an enemy is shot and afflicted by the corrosive quality of the Defiler, if it becomes adjacent to any other enemies currently unafflicted, those enemies will then become afflicted. This tactic is useful on packs of unshielded human enemies.

The Defiler is an orange Revolver manufactured by Maliwan.

Examples are on the talk page.

Special Weapon Effects

Give Sick - Corrosive x4, chance for increased contagion.

Usage & Description

It comes with a strong corrosive accessory, as well as increased raw damage. The Defiler accessory is the only accessory available for Revolvers that increase damage. Only Jakobs revolvers can match the Defiler in raw damage output, and that's without the Corrosive effect.

Mechanics

The Defiler gets its effect from the acc3_Maliwan_Defiler_Corrosive accessory. It is based off the acc3_Corrosive accessory. The acc3_Maliwan_Defiler_Corrosive accessory increases damage output, whereas it's generic counterpart, acc3_Corrosive, reduces it.
