Moonfire is a legendary pistol in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Torgue. It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source, but has an increased chance to drop from Wotan the Invincible.
Special Weapon Effects
Meet your destiny. – Every third shot deals 3x damage and all critical hits deal 2x damage. Massively increased projectile speed. No splash damage or sticky alternate firing mode.
Usage & Description
Due to the high projectile speed, lack of splash damage, and lack of a sticky alternate firing mode, the Moonfire handles more closely to a slow-firing Jakobs pistol than a Torgue. The near-hitscan projectiles make landing critical hits particularly easy, and critical hits that deal the Moonshot's bonus damage can be particularly devastating, dealing 6x the damage a regular shot would do.
Notes
- Hotfix 4/2/2020: Damage increased. Critical hit damage increased.
Trivia
- The flavor text is a reference to the "Hawkmoon" hand cannons in the 2014 video game Destiny.
- The special effect is a reference to the "Luck in the Chamber" perk for the weapon.
