The Kitten is a Unique Assault Rifle manufactured by Vladof. The Kitten is obtained by finishing the "Everybody Wants to be Wanted" quest given by Mad Moxxi.

Special Weapon Effects

We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.  – Fires 3 bullets per shot at the cost of one ammo. Spread takes the shape of a smiley face, with two eyes and a wide grin. The spread starts out tight, lengthens, and then closes in again. Heals the user when inflicting damage at a rate of 2.5% of the damage inflicted with the weapon. Like all Moxxi guns, this will not spawn in game without an element.

Usage & Description

The Kitten is very strong at close range but is limited by its waning and waxing spread at long range. Though the pattern varies somewhat the bullets quickly leave the area marked by the center of the reticle, making it very difficult to hit targets that are more than a few feet away. For this reason, the Kitten is best used as a high-speed shotgun replacement rather than a traditional assault rifle.

Notes

  • Gaige can make the best use of the Kitten with her Close Enough skill. The Kitten's high damage, rate of fire, and projectile count per ammo used make it ideal for spraying ricocheted shots all over the battlefield.

Trivia

  • The Kitten's flavor text is a quote from the Cheshire Cat in the book Alice's Adventures In Wonderland. The spread pattern mimics the Cheshire Cat's distinctive mischievous grin.
