The Vibra-Pulse is a Unique Laser manufactured by Maliwan. It is one of the items rewarded to the player for starting the mission Home Sweet Home by opening Moxxi's 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 heavier shock damage upon a single target, and a lesser amount of shock damage to surrounding enemies, damaging them every few seconds. When equipped, a percentage of damage inflicted by this weapon is returned to its user as health.
Usage & Description
The Vibra-Pulse acts like a standard shock beam gun with continuous fire when the trigger is held down, but with added features. So long as the beam damages an opponent, any enemies within the radius of the targeted enemy will be damaged every second by chains of lightning that emit from the target currently in the crosshairs. This makes the Vibra-Pulse excel at decimating shields of multiple targets at once, especially if they are crowded together.
Additionally, being a Moxxi weapon, the Vibra-Pulse heals the user at a portion of damage done, making it extremely useful for leeching health from targets if they are bunched up together. A short burst can get a player up to a quarter of his health back if there are targets nearby to transfer the chains of lightning to.
Trivia
- The weapon's full title in the game files is "Miss Moxxi's Vibra-Pulse;" however, "Miss Moxxi's" is treated as a prefix by the game engine and can be replaced with other prefixes.
- Common to other Moxxi weapons, the Vibra-Pulse is a reference to Moxxi and her tendency to mention sexual connotations, in this case, a vibrator.
