PBFG: Difference between revisions | Borderlands Wiki

Revision as of 01:26, 16 July 2014

The PBFG is an E-tech rocket launcher manufactured by Maliwan. The PBFG is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source.

Usage & Description

Upon impact, the PBFG's projectile encapsulates enemies in energy spheres and deals maximum damage in a huge radius. Any enemy strong enough to survive the initial blast will suffer continuous normal damage-over-time in addition to the PBFG's elemental status effect. This makes it most effective against big groups of enemies and can be especially useful to get a Second Wind in tight situations. Due to its unique normal damage-over-time, it is also useful for harming enemies that have a resistance to the gun's element.

Notes

Shots fired from the PBFG deal damage through walls and buildings.
Individual energy orbs are affected by Amp shields, as well as the initial projectile.

Trivia

The launcher's name is an abbreviation of "Pretty Big Fucking Gun," and is a reference to the BFG from the Doom series and Quake series by Id Software.

-Upon impact, the PBFG's projectile encapsulates enemies in energy spheres and deals maximum damage in a huge radius. Any enemy strong enough to survive the initial blast will suffer continuous ''normal'' damage over time in addition to the PBFG's elemental DoT. This makes it most effective against big groups of enemies and can be especially useful to get a [[Second Wind]] in tight situations. Due to its unique normal damage DoT, it is also useful for taking out enemies that have a resistance to the gun's element.
