Burny is the Title of a group of common Submachine Guns in Borderlands 2. They are manufactured exclusively by Bandit and use the incendiary version of the Maliwan barrel, thus only available in green rarity or higher. The Burny is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source.

Usage & Description

The Burny is part of a rare sub-group of SMGs that always spawn with a Maliwan barrel and fixed element. Their main selling point is the improved elemental chance and damage granted by the Maliwan barrel, in addition to a slight increase in accuracy. Even at low rarities, the high damage-over-time potential can make them excellent choices for combat against fleshy enemies such as bandits and wildlife. In particular, they can be highly effective against groups for quickly applying flames to several different enemies, allowing a player to passively inflict damage while they reposition or focus on another target.

Note

• Other SMGs in this grouping manufactured by the Bandits include the Barfy (corrosive), Shoky (shock), and Slagy (slag).
• Because of the fixed parts configuration, SMGs in this group spawn much more rarely than their rarity color would seem to indicate (most often found at green rarity and, even more rarely, blue or purple rarity) and may often be overlooked and sold off or ignored by users unfamiliar with their uncommonness. Note that Maliwan-manufactured SMGs with this barrel are much more common and will spawn at rarities ranging from white to purple.
• The equivalent Scav weapon in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is the Spicy.
