Changes: Hammer Buster II

Latest revision as of 03:21, 27 December 2021

Hammer Buster II is a legendary aftermarket assault rifle in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel manufactured by Jakobs. It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source.

Special Weapon Effects

My dad... scientist... you know the drill. – Increased damage. Shots penetrate enemies.

Usage & Description

The Hammer Buster II is intended for medium to long-range combat as its semi-automatic firing mode, strong recoil and small magazine size are unsuitable for close-range combat. In addition to its increased damage, the Hammer Buster II has a 50% additive critical hit bonus and a 15% multiplicative critical hit bonus.

Notes

The Hammer Buster II's penetration ability works similarly to Zer0's B0re, although the continuing shot receives no damage bonus. A Lawbringer with The Unforgiven can exploit this to inflict massive damage on enemies with overlapping hitboxes.

Trivia

The name and flavor text of the weapon is a direct reference to the Hammer Buster, a weapon from Borderlands 2, which in turn, is a reference to the Gears of War series of games and novels.

 ==Usage & Description==
-The Hammer Buster II boasts very high raw stats, with the exception of magazine size and recoil reduction. Its high recoil reduction is innate to its Dahl barrel, and it also boasts a 50% additive crit bonus and 15% multiplicative crit bonus.

-In practice, it serves more as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designated_marksman_rifle marksman rifle] than a traditional assault rifle. Due to the semi-automatic firing mode, it is advised that the user keep their distance from the fray, at medium-to-long range, rather than as a traditional assault rifle.
