Destructo Spinner is a legendary submachine gun in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Maliwan. It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source, but has an increased chance to drop from Power Troopers located in Atlas HQ.

Special Weapon Effects

I've been hired for destruction. – +100% weapon damage. Randomly alternates between elements while firing. Projectiles travel in a corkscrew motion.

Usage & Description

The Destructo Spinner takes full advantage of Maliwan's dual-element capacity by firing both of its listed elements at once. While this does provide a fair amount of versatility, it can also be a hindrance if one of the elements is not ideal for the fight. Due to its firing pattern and projectile speed, the Destructo Spinner fares best at close to medium range.

Certain elemental combinations are more ideal than others, such as:

• Incendiary and shock. This combination can deal with the vast majority of unarmored enemies, as they tend to be flesh targets with or without shields.
• Shock and radiation. These elements deal bonus damage to shields, and will make short work of enemies relying on them.
• Corrosive and cryo. These elements deal bonus damage to armor and will make quick work of armored enemies.
• Cryo and radiation. These two "utility" elements are useful for crowd control. They also happen to cover each other's weaknesses regarding armor and shields.

Notes

• Projectiles of different elemental types corkscrew in opposite directions.

Trivia

• The name and flavor text are a reference to the song Destructo Spin by prog-rock band Between the Buried and Me.
