Changes: Mongol (Borderlands 2)

Revision as of 11:18, 18 June 2019

Mongol is a legendary rocket launcher manufactured by Vladof. Mongol is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source, but has an increased chance to drop from Dukino's Mom located in Lynchwood.

Special Weapon Effects

The Horde will always return! – Fires a single large rocket that sporadically releases multiple smaller rockets at random angles along its flight path. Consumes 2 ammo per shot and does not have the free-shot effect of Vladof Launchers.

Usage & Description

The Mongol is a variant of the Vanquisher, and mirrors the effects of the Mongol in Borderlands. The Mongol balances its increased ammo consumption with the ability to inflict damage both in a single concentrated area, with its large initial projectile, as well as over a large area, with its spawned small rockets. The Mongol can be used effectively against large targets, groups of enemies, and agile targets difficult to pin down with a single projectile.

Notes

The Mongol's item card states "Consumes reduced ammo per shot" followed by a piece of unique white text "Just kidding, no it doesn't."
A hotfix on Day 27 of the Borderlands 2 $100,000 Loot Hunt increased the damage and reload speed of the Mongol and all other Vladof Rocket Launchers.

Trivia

The Mongol is one of many weapons to be featured as a "returned-weapon" from Borderlands.
The weapon's name and its unique effect references the tactic used by the Mongol warriors used to charge at their enemies before splitting and surrounding them.
In Chinese localization, the name was translated into "蒙古王", which means "Mongol King".
