For the enemy faction, see Orc (faction).

The Orc is a unique aftermarket submachine gun manufactured by Bandit. It appears in the DLC expansion Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep. It is obtained from the mission Magic Slaughter: Round 5 in Murderlin's Temple.

Special Weapon Effects

Have I achieved worth yet? – Bullets split in two on ricochet, but do not ricochet by default. Has a chance to randomly activate a short-lived boost that causes bullets to ricochet, and shoots two bullets per shot. The boost also significantly increases rate of fire and reload speed.

Usage & Description

The Orc's special boost may be passed to another weapon by switching, similar to the Grog Nozzle sharing its drunken effect with switched weapons. Rocket Launchers may benefit greatly from the Orc's buff, enjoying an increased projectile count while consuming no additional rocket ammo, and in particular, having their long reload times significantly shortened.

The Orc is an effective off-hand weapon for Gunzerkers, as the special fire rate, reload speed, and split/ricochet boost will transfer to the main hand weapon when it activates, as well as to the other weapon pair when switching.

It is also an excellent weapon on a Mechromancer, making use of the Anarchy tree because of its ricochet ability, especially as it can spawn as a shock weapon.

The complete effect seems to be: +1 projectiles(multi-pellet weapons will only gain a single additional pellet, rather than having their pellet count doubled), +50% fire rate, +50% chance to fire twice(a la Two Fang), +100% reload rate.

Notes

  • The flavor text on this weapon is a direct quote from the Discworld novel Unseen Academicals.
  • This is one of the very few purple rarity weapons in the game that sport a red flavor text.
  • The Orc's special effect can activate while driving a vehicle, and will also effect the vehicle's machine gun.
