Changes: Vandergraffen

Revision as of 19:01, 18 January 2020

Vandergraffen is a unique aftermarket laser in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel manufactured by Tediore.
It is a guaranteed drop from Deadlift.

Special Weapon Effects

I'm a fan of the flow. – Always shock. Increased elemental effect chance. When moving, a flashing animated effect covers the weapon's surface.

Usage & Description

The Vandergraffen is typically the first beam laser characters will encounter in a new playthrough. Apart from its higher elemental chance, it has no significant features and can be used in the same way as a standard Tediore shock laser until a suitable replacement is found.

Athena, using the Ceraunic Storm skill tree, can use the Vandergraffen as a handy starting weapon for gaining Maelstrom stacks.

Notes

The Vandergraffen has the same visual effect as the Commerce from Borderlands 2.
The only valid prefix is "Alternating". However, it does not prevent it from spawning with any grip, stock, or sight.

Trivia

The weapon name is a reference Robert Van de Graaff and his generator.
The Vandergraffen's prefix and flavor text are a reference to alternating current (AC), a type of flow of electric current.
