So Chadd's not even real? – Always incendiary. Fires 2 bullets per shot. Does not consume ammo. Massively extended overheat limit.
Usage & Description
The 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 for Moze if she has a point in Redistribution.
Paired with a Tediore weapon, such as the Baby Maker, Moze can reload and switch back to the Chadd to refill on ammo.
The Extreme Hangin' Chadd can still be fired if the character is out of pistol ammo, but will eventually break around the overheat limit of 999 shots.
FL4K can regain ammo when landing critical hits using the Leave No Trace skill.
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?"
Chadd apparently has a relative, quite possibly his brother (or perhaps even his father), buried in a grave in the Withernot Cemetery on planet Xylourgos. His gravestone bears the name "Bradd," and the inscription below the name reads "Taste the Danger!"
