Usage & Description

The Moonfire handles more closely to a slow-firing Jakobs pistol than a Torgue. The near-hitscan projectiles make landing critical hits particularly easy, and critical hits that deal the Moonfire's bonus damage can be particularly devastating. Its fixed iron sights and high recoil make it less handful to use on distance, however.

Despite having no splash radius, Moonfire still deal splash damage, which is benefit from all splash bonuses.

Notes

• Hotfix 4/2/2020: Damage increased. Critical hit damage increased.
• Reloading the Moonfire does not reset the counter on bonus damage shots. Firing two regular shots and then reloading causes the first shot fired to deal 3x damage.

Trivia

• The flavor text is a reference to the "Hawkmoon" hand cannons in the 2014 video game Destiny.
  • The special effect is a reference to the "Luck in the Chamber" perk for the weapon.
