Revision as of 18:14, 2 December 2014
The Vibra-Pulse is a unique laser manufactured by Maliwan. It is acquired by starting the mission Home Sweet Home and opening the weapon crate located in Moxxi's Up & Over Bar in Concordia, along with the Slammer and the Kiss of Death.
Special Effect
Why not turn me on? – Always Shock. Fires a continuous beam which inflicts increasingly heavier damage upon a target and chains damage to surrounding enemies. A percentage of the damage inflicted by this weapon is returned as health.
Usage & Description
The Vibra-Pulse fires a shock beam that increases in damage with continuous fire, but with added features. So long as the beam damages an opponent, any enemies within close radius of the targeted enemy will be damaged by chains of shock damage. This makes the Vibra-Pulse excel at depleting the shields of multiple targets at once.
Additionally, being a Moxxi weapon, the Vibra-Pulse heals the user for a portion of the damage dealt, making it extremely useful for leeching health from groups of targets.
Notes

- Chain lightning arcs generated by the Vibra-Pulse may become orphaned in the world and will persist until the wielder exits the map.
- The Vibra Pulse's special chain lightning effect may carry over to other laser weapons the character currently has equipped, regardless of their type and elemental damage modifier, and even affect vehicle-mounted lasers.
- Due to the fixed parts and lack of accessories for non-Hyperion lasers, the weapon will always spawn with the Miss Moxxi's prefix.
- The chest can be reopened after it appears in the main story, it has about a 10% chance of reappearing when a Vault Hunter enters from the doorway past the slot machines in Moxxi's bar. This allows players to get versions of the Vibra-Pulse, Slammer, and Kiss of Death in True Vault Hunter Mode that are scaled to their characters' levels after the game is beaten, otherwise the weapons are pegged at the level of the original mission level.
Trivia
- When playing with a controller, equipping the weapon temporarily turns on vibration for 3-5 seconds, then fades, regardless of firing or not.
