The Crux is an orange Shotgun manufactured by Maliwan.

Examples are on the talk page.

Special Weapon Effects

Bring out your Dead - Corrosive x3-4.

Usage & Description

The Crux is a comparatively average shotgun with a strong corrosive accessory attached. Thus, it is not suitable for close-range desperation combat, or any situation where multiple enemies in close proximity need to be killed quickly. It is more suitable for a "hit-and-run" playstyle in that it's best to get within an effective range, expend the magazine on an enemy, and then wait in a safe location while the target corrodes to death.

Notes & Trivia

  • The original name for this gun was the Maliwan Plague.
  • The red text is a reference to a quote from the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", the line itself originating from the Black Death / Black Plague in Europe in 1348.

Mechanics

The Crux gets its effect from the acc3_Maliwan_Corrosive_Plague accessory. It is based off the acc3_Corrosive accessory. The acc3_Maliwan_Corrosive_Plague has less damage drop compared to the classic acc3_Corrosive, as well as cheaper and more frequent procs. Finally, it gives a massive +10 Tech.
