Long Musket — borderlands

Long Musket is a legendary submachine gun in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Tediore. It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source, but has an increased chance to drop from Lagromar located in Konrad's Hold.

Special Weapon Effects

Say "cryptocurrency!"

-20% weapon damage. +20% magazine size. Always incendiary.

Fires a stream of flames at a reduced distance like a flamethrower. Discarded weapons become walking flamethrower turrets capable of sticking to walls and chasing down enemies. Minimal discarded weapon damage (down to 1-2). Consumes 2 ammo per shot.

Usage & Description

The Long Musket is the definition of a close range powerhouse, dealing an incredible amount of incendiary damage while being limited to nearly point blank encounters. The weapon by itself is able to melt fleshy enemies in an instant even at higher difficulty levels, though it deals pitiful damage against armor. It is also very ammo efficient despite dealing high damage.

As its reload throw deals extremely low splash damage, the user should aim to throw used guns on the floor instead, as the turrets will quickly put out even more damage. However, the turrets will still attempt to fire at enemies out of its range and waste its ammo.

Notes

The flames do more damage and reach farther the longer the trigger is held, needing about 10 rounds to reach its surprisingly long maximum range, so short bursts of fire are not optimal.
This weapon doesn't get bonus projectile from double-penetrating stock. Decreasing stats and increasing ammo consumption still work, however.

Trivia

The name and special effect are references to South-African inventor Elon Musk and his product called "Not A Flamethrower" (which is a flamethrower). The flavor text and bonus white text are from one of his tweets.
This weapon's barrel is descripted as an "Alien Barrel" in parts reference. It also works similar with Blister, the alien barrel thrower manufactured by Torgue.
