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.
Notes
Shots fired from the PBFG do deal damage through walls and buildings.
