Changes: Thunderfire

Revision as of 00:27, 27 October 2019

Thunderfire is a legendary laser manufactured by Maliwan added in The Claptastic Voyage. it is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source, but has an increased chance to drop from Despair and Self-Loathing.

Special Weapon Effects

Light 'em up. – Always shock. Increased continuous damage bonus. Shoots a beam that emits a small incendiary nova upon hitting an enemy or object. Reduced fire rate. Consumes two ammo per shot.

Usage & Description

The Thunderfire is an excellent weapon against flesh enemies with shields because they quickly start to suffer both elemental effects; the shock damage depletes their shields while the incendiary novas ignite them. Moreover, because of its shock properties, shooting an oxygen generator will turn it on, allowing the fire novas to ignite enemies inside it for additional damage if there wasn't an atmosphere already. The Thunderfire is only effective against armored enemies as a shock weapon as the incendiary nova will be resisted. Due to the elements used, Athena can easily gain Maelstorm stacks at twice the rate.

The damage dealt by the Thunderfire has significant discrepancy from the value listed on the weapon card. The actual shock laser-bolt deals about 111% of the listed damage value, while the incendiary nova deals 85% of the listed value. When accounting for elemental multipliers in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, a direct hit will deal 312% of the listed damage to shielded targets, 260% against flesh, and 145% against armor, and the fire damage will hit enemies in an area of effect the size of a small grenade, further stacking the overall damage output of each shot.

Trivia

Thunderfire puts out a continuous beam, despite using the Dahl-made Blaster barrel.

 ==Usage & Description==
-The Thunderfire is an excellent weapon against flesh enemies with shields, because they quickly start to suffer both elemental effects; the shock damage depletes their shields while the incendiary novas ignite them. It works fairly well against armored enemies too because of the shock element, but the incendiary novas created on impact are not effective against armor.
