The Splasher Blashter is an E-tech shotgun manufactured by Bandit. The Splasher Blashter is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source.
Usage & Description
As a bandit-manufactured weapon, Splasher Blashters carry the innate low accuracy, long reload time, and large magazine size of other bandit guns, and as an E-tech weapon it converts ammunition into energy charges.
Splasher Blashters fire large, slow-moving, high-damage energy balls in an arc, with a three-shot burst fired for each trigger pull. Notably, each energy ball does approximately the same damage as a single projectile from a Splatgun, meaning the weapon does triple the damage compared to other brands. This does come with a high ammo usage, using four ammo per shot, which effectively negates the advantage of the larger magazine size that other bandit weapons enjoy. This doubled ammo cost only minimally offsets the tripled damage output of the weapon, making Splasher Blashters both some of the most ammo-efficient and highest damaging shotguns available in Borderlands 2.
