Special Weapon Effects

Put a lid on it. – No alternate firing mode. Fires two projectiles with one as a regular explosive and the other as a sticky.

Usage & Description

Like all Torgue weapons, the sticky gyrojet explosive will detonate on reload & weapon switch, or after several seconds. When firing at enemies at a distance, with a well-timed reload or weapon swap the sticky projectile can be detonated at the same time as the other one. Although the two projectiles have a decent amount of spread, making the rifle more practical for close-range combat.

Notes

• The rifle can spawn with the Double Penetrating prefix, causing it to fire four projectiles per shot: two standard, and two sticky gyrojets.
• It can also spawn with the Rock Hard prefix, increasing damage and splash damage radius.
• It can rarely spawn as the Double Penetrating Rock Hard Contain Blast, giving it both double the amount of projectiles, and twice the splash damage radius, making it an especially useful crowd clearing weapon in confined areas.

Trivia

The weapon name and flavor text refer to the field of explosives disposal engineering known as Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD). EOD technicians sometimes put bombs in special containment vessels with heavy metal lids to help contain the blast, with "put a lid on it" being used to mean neutralizing a threat.
