Flayer is a legendary shotgun exclusive to the Claptastic Voyage DLC for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and is manufactured by Jakobs.
It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source, but has an increased chance to drop from viruses.
Special Weapon Effects[]
OMG, what's it doing to Sanchez?! – Increased magazine size, pellet count, and accuracy.
Usage & Description[]
The Flayer is a significant improvement over a standard Coach Gun, as its upsides negate the usual downsides of normal Jakobs shotguns (low magazine size and accuracy). Functioning as a quasi-Bushwack with less ammo consumed per shot, significantly higher magazine & accuracy all at the cost of less damage per pellet, the Flayer can easily kill tough enemies or multiple weaker foes in a single magazine.
It should be noted that while the Flayer's damage per second is unrivaled in regards to other Jakobs shotguns, this only applies in close range as it suffers from heavy recoil.
Note[]
While equipped, the Flayer's barrel 'GD_Ma_Weapons.Barrel.SG_Barrel_Jakobs_5_Flayer' activates a custom invisible skill 'GD_Ma_Weapons.Skills.Skill_Flayer', in which enemies killed with bullets will be forced to explode in gibs, unless said enemy doesn't have any gibs at all (i.e. bugs, certain bosses).
