Come on in... Ol' Painful is waiting. – Fires laser blasts instead of bullets. Always incendiary.
Usage & Description
The Ol'Painful is most effective when used to discharge sustained fire to take advantage of its high rate of fire once it has accelerated to full speed. This is effective in close quarters against multiple targets if the trigger is held, and particularly useful against many unshielded bosses with extremely high life.
It can be used to great effect by Gladiators who are using the Ceraunic Storm skills as it has a guaranteed fire element. Its viability within the Ceraunic Storm tree is further bolstered when boosting its naturally high fire rate using the skill Unrelenting.
Notes
- Ol' Painful was first discovered within the code of the game, along with the Jack-o'-Cannon, Wet Week, The Machine, Boomacorn, and several weapons from that were cut from Borderlands 2.
Trivia
- Ol' Painful and its flavor text refer to the minigun carried by Blain (Jesse Ventura) in the film Predator.
