Insider is a legendary shotgun exclusive to the Guns, Love, and Tentacles DLC for Borderlands 3 manufactured by Maliwan. It is obtained randomly from any enemy that appears in the locations of DLC.

Special Weapon Effects

You can run, but you can't hide.

• +30% damage. Fires a cluster of elemental projectiles that deals splash damage.
• Fires in full-automatic with no charge time.
• Alien barrel accessory provides +1 pellet count, +30% projectile speed and +20% splash radius but increases ammo consumption by 1.

Usage & Description

The Insider deals extremely splash damage per shot with great element damage and element chance (around 8.5x for an Interloper) in full-automatic (with high recoil), making it a powerhouse at close range. Its splash damage gives it some extra leniency with aim, and it does not require charging like most Maliwan shotguns. Care must be taken with point-blank use however, as the weapon's splash damage will easily down a careless user.

Notes

• Hotfix 12/17/2020: Damage increased by 4%. It is unknown if such a small buff was intended or a bug.
