Protuberance is the title of a group of common shotguns in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Torgue using the Alien Barrel.
Usage & Description
The Protuberance is an elemental grenade launcher featuring an alien barrel. It fires a low-damage grenade in an arc, which explodes and create 3 MIRVs upon impact. This makes it excellent for crowd control and dealing huge amounts of elemental damage. Care must be taken as the splash damage can easily kill the character if used at close range.
Due to the magazine mechanic of Torgue shotguns, the only good variant of this weapon is the one with grenade magazine, which has much higher damage than other variants. The other variants deal even less damage than non-alienbarrel Torgue shotguns per shot (with much higher ammo consumption).
As an alien barrel weapon, it only comes in rare and epic rarity.
Notable Variants
- The Lob - legendary shotgun that fires a slow-moving orb that damages enemies on path and explodes on reaching max range or on impact.
Notes
- The Protuberance is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source.
