Nebula is the title of a group of common submachine guns in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Maliwan. The Nebula is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source.

Usage & Description[]

The Nebula is a standard Maliwan submachine gun that shoots rapid-fire energy projectiles after a short charge-up period. Nebulas have a slower fire rate and their projectiles move significantly slower than those from a Pulsar, though they have higher damage to make up for this.

Nebula is the only Maliwan SMG valiant that deal splash damage (radius: 60) and the only Maliwan SMG model that can have a melee accessory.

Like most Maliwan guns, the Nebula can swap between two different elements with the alt-fire button.
