Firestorm is a legendary sniper rifle in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Maliwan. It is obtained from any suitable loot source but has an increased chance to drop from Katagawa Jr and The Graveward.

Special Weapon Effects

Seek shelter immediately. – Always Incendiary. Each shot causes a small nova. Novas spawn 3 fireballs that rise up and fall back down after a short delay, causing small novas of their own.

Usage & Description

The Firestorm is a very powerful sniper rifle, capable of blanketing an area with waves of fire. It is best suited against large groups or slow moving enemies, as landing hits on smaller, more agile enemies is difficult. The Krakatoa is a similar weapon with comparable damage stats, but functions more like a traditional point-and-click rifle.

Fireballs move slowly and take some time to land, and if used in confined spaces they may hit a wall or ceiling and disappear.

Notes

Hotfix 3/5/2020: Damage greatly increased.

-The Firestorm is a very powerful sniper rifle, acting somewhat like a delayed [[Krakatoa]]. Its fireballs allow for leniency while aiming, as they will blanket the general area that was shot.

-The Firestorm is best suited against groups or large, slow moving enemies, as landing a hit on small or agile enemies will be difficult. It also loses a significant amount of damage if an enemy simple walks out of the way, since the fireballs take some time to land. Similarly, the Firestorm suffers in enclosed spaces, as the fireballs will collide with ceilings and therefore be wasted.
