In Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, the Pandemic is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source.

Special Grenade Effects[]

Spread the sickness. – Always corrosive. Spawns a corrosive cloud upon detonation, then spawns three more homing grenades. The grenades spawned will chase enemies, transferring corrosive damage on contact and then seek out another target. This will continue until the grenades disappear.

Usage & Description[]

The Pandemic is most useful when thrown into a crowd of weaker armored foes such as Hyperion units and knights. Over a short period of time, it can quickly inflict significant damage and even kill them outright in just a single throw.

Notes[]

  • Every time a child grenade transmits a corrosive status effect to a new enemy, the firing sound of a rocket launcher can be heard.
  • The mandatory parts for the Pandemic include a corrosive accessory and a modified area effect payload called "Exterminator". The Storm Front and the Fire Bee share this part with the Pandemic, but the differences among the three are made by their Item_Balance setting.

Trivia[]

  • Pandemic is a term used to describe a disease that spreads over a large area and/or population, referring to the grenade's contagious and the plague-themed corrosive element.
