Special Weapon Effects[]
You're alive for a reason. Go get 'em kid.
- -25% reload time. -67% fire rate.
- Always shock. Fires 9 slow-moving orbs in the shape of a bird, with wings that slowly open up as it travels. Orbs reflect off walls 3 times, and deal splash damage.
- Gains damage bonus (for all damage method) that bases on the distance between the character and the target, up to +500% at 25m.
- Despite being a Collaborator, Guardian 4N631 can have barrel accessories for Downsizer.
Usage & Description[]
Although Guardian 4N631 itself is a rather mediocre if not lackluster weapon in terms of performance, its universal damage multiplier can augment other damage sources. This includes skills, grenades, and even weapons with slow projectiles speeds provided if the weapon was equipped before the projectile lands. Thus, entire builds can center around the Guardian 4N631 without it being fired.
Notes[]
- 4N631 - The word "Angel" in 1337speak.
- It will fire far more pellet than other Hyperion shotguns without extra ammo consumption if having two pellet modifying barrel accessories (up to x16; x32 with Double-Penetrating grip).
- With slower fire rate, this weapon benefit less from reverse recoil without fire rate bonuses.
Trivia[]
- The first half of the flavor text is a quote from Angel in Borderlands 2 during the My First Gun story mission.
