Extreme Hangin' Chadd is a unique pistol in Borderlands 3 manufactured by COV. Extreme Hangin' Chadd is obtained from the mission Swamp Bro located in Floodmoor Basin, on Eden-6.
Special Weapon Effects[]
So Chadd's not even real? – Always incendiary. Fires 2 bullets per shot. Does not consume ammo. Significantly extended overheat limit. Fixed parts.
Usage & Description[]
Due to its extreme heat capacity and lack of ammo consumption, Extreme Hangin' Chadd works as a reasonable substitute for an incendiary Infinity.
It should be used for short to medium-range combat with hip fire as the flames around the sights makes it difficult to aim while scoped. The low accuracy of COV weapons makes long-range shooting impractical unless aiming at large enemies.
Notes[]
The effects of the Chadd's constant overheating on the weapon's sight.
- The Chadd synergizes well with elemental builds (the best example being Amara) or incendiary-focused skills (Moze). It also benefits from skills that increase gun damage the longer it is fired (Click, Click...).
- The Chadd is an excellent utility weapon to refill pistol ammo if the character has a skill or anointment that regenerates pistol ammo as these effects scale on COV weapon heat capacity. The Chadd can grant over 100 pistol ammo per second with only 15% ammo regeneration per second, for example. This can be done with Moze if she has a point in Redistribution or Forge, or any character using the Bloody Harvest exclusive ammo regen Terror anointment on a shield.
- When paired with a Tediore pistol, such as the Baby Maker, Moze can output large amounts of damage with the Baby Maker via its reload-throws then refill it immediately with Chadd.
- The Chadd can still be fired even if the character is out of pistol ammo.
- FL4K can regain ammo when landing critical hits using the Leave No Trace skill, despite all other COV pistols not working with the skill.
- As it is a mission reward, it cannot have an anointment.
Trivia[]
- The name refers to a "Hanging Chad", which is a partially hole-punched ballot card (or chads) with its corners still intact.
- The red text refers to a skit by the Derrick Comedy group where Donald Glover's character, upon realizing he was duped in an investigative sting, says: "So, Chadd's not even real? You guys just played me like a sap, for the big scoop?"
