Changes: Infection

Revision as of 05:44, 27 September 2019

Infection is a seraph pistol in Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt manufactured by Maliwan. It can be obtained as a rare drop from Voracidous the Invincible, Dexiduous the Invincible or Omnd-Omnd-Ohk in Ultimate Vault Hunter mode, or from the Seraph Vendor in Hunter's Grotto.

Special Weapon Effects

Itchy. Tasty. – Always corrosive, extremely high elemental effect damage & chance but extremely low projectile damage. Projectiles travel in a slight arc at a low velocity and explode after traveling a certain distance.

Usage & Description

What the Infection lacks in raw power, it makes up for in damage over time. The Infection has the highest elemental damage-per-second in the game and is extremely effective against armored enemies. It is also impossible to use at long range as the rounds detonate after a set distance. Against non-armored targets, it can still stack a high amount of DoT, although it will be resisted and is ineffective against enemies that can't be corroded.

Notes

The Infection deals an additional 80% splash damage that is boosted by grenade damage bonuses.
A Siren with 5 points invested in Flicker and a class mod that boosts Flicker by 5 points (namely the Legendary Siren class mod), it is possible to have a 100% chance of inflicting corrosive damage over time with the Infection.
- Alternatively, a Witch class mod paired with either an Elemental or Bone of the Ancients relic can also achieve a 100% damage-over-time chance with this weapon. This may be easier to acquire, though it lacks the other benefits of a Legendary Siren class mod.

Trivia

The flavor text is a quote from Resident Evil.

 ==Usage & Description==
-What the Infection lacks in raw power, it makes up for in DoT. The Infection has the highest elemental damage-per-second in the game, and is extremely effective against armored enemies such as Loaders. However, it is next to useless against enemies it can't corrode. It is also impossible to use at long range, as its rounds detonate after a set distance. Against non-armored targets, it can still stack a high amount of DoT, though it will be resisted.
