ECHO-2 is a unique grenade mod in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Tediore. It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source, but has an increased chance to drop from Mouthpiece located in Ascension Bluff.
Special Weapon Effects[]
Do not throw ECHO-2
Do not hold ECHO-2 close to face.
Do not look directly at ECHO-2. – Appears as an ECHO device. Increased damage. 3 second fuse time. Fixed parts.
Usage & Description[]
The ECHO-2 is one of the strongest grenades in the game in terms of base damage, making it very effective damage-wise. However, it has a very long fuse time and only explodes after a set time, making it difficult to use in general combat.
This grenade favors a "throw and forget" style of use; users can simply toss one at a high-traffic location to allow the ECHO-2 to explode on its own. It is also excellent for stationary targets.
Notes[]
- Despite having a rarity of common, the ECHO-2 is treated as a legendary grenade mod by the game.
- ECHO-2's flavor text are misleading and simply cosmetic.
Trivia[]
- The ECHO-2 is a callback to the beginning of the game when Claptrap gives the Vault Hunters their ECHO-3 and explains that they rebranded the prior model as grenades due to their explosive nature.
- Claptrap's remark and the ECHO-2's appearance are a reference to defective batteries in electronics overheating, catching fire, and exploding.
- Despite the ECHO communicators being a Dahl product, and the grenade mod being visually branded with Dahl's logo (as it reuses the ECHO device's model), it is classified as a Tediore grenade mod.
