Snider is the title of a group of sniper rifles and are manufactured exclusively by Maliwan. This title is saved for sniper rifles using a Maliwan or Dahl barrel. The Snider is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source.
Usage & Description
The Snider is an extremely potent weapon that possesses increased elemental damage and a very high elemental effect chance at the cost of base damage, as well as optional recoil reduction on variants spawning with the Dahl barrel.
Variants
Pimpernel - Unique sniper rifle which fires projectiles that flare upwards and outwards before hitting the target at full damage, sometimes hitting a second time with +50% damage.
Volcano - Legendaryincendiary sniper rifle with 80% splash damage (+30% more than a normal Maliwan sniper), as well as an elemental "passing" effect similar to the Teapot.
Storm - Pearlescent sniper rifle that fires a round that splits into five orbs of electricity which shock anything in their vicinity before dissipating.
Trivia
The title and the caption text are references to Dee Snider of American heavy metal band Twisted Sister and their 1984 song I Wanna Rock respectively.
