Draco is a legendary combat rifle in Borderlands manufactured by S&S Munitions.
Examples are on the talk page.
Special Weapon Effects
Dragon Fire! – Incendiary x2-x4, increased magazine capacity, lower recoil, increased accuracy and increased chance to proc.
Usage & Description
All Dracos have an accuracy rating of 87 - 94, higher than most other Support Machine Guns and rivaling some Sniper Rifles. The Draco's Magazine has a minimum of 79 rounds and a maximum of 124 rounds. Finally, the Draco has a strong fire elemental accessory, at no cost to the damage output. The Draco does lack a bit of a punch, in the sense that it lacks any damage boost, unlike other uniques, or machine guns from other manufacturers.
The large magazine, strong elemental accessory and high accuracy make it one of the most versatile guns in the game. It's just as easy to clear a room full of bandits by emptying the clip with reckless abandon as it is to sit at medium (or even long range) and pick enemies off one-by-one.
Notes
- In the original game, a glitch would prevent the Draco from spawning as a Legendary and caused the flavor text to not display, making it difficult to find. This is a similar bug to the Legendary Penetrator, although in that case the flavor text still displayed.
- The rarity and flavor text have been fixed within the Enhanced edition.
- The title S&S Draco does not always appear in game when the title is added using save editing programs.
- Dracos that doesn't have the actual "Draco" title can benefit from even more recoil reduction (-40%) granted by the Massacre title on the original version of the game.
Trivia
- Keeping the Greek theme, Draco was a greek legislator from Athens. He was known for creating a wriitten code of laws with harsh punishment.
- Draco is the Latin word for "dragon".
Mechanics
The Draco effect comes from the acc4_SandS_Draco_Incendiary accessory. It is based on acc4_Deathly, but also benefits from the fire effects of acc5_Incendiary. The Draco does not benefit from any Damage increase, but does not have a Damage penalty from the fire effect either.
