Temper – On Hit explodes. The explosion radius increases with each charge.
Usage & Description
The Solar Temper on paper seems like it would be an excellent weapon for dealing with groups of enemies but ultimately falls victim to its own mechanics. Requiring maximum charge to achieve the greatest effect, the full blast radius isn't even that large, and while capable of killing enemies in a single hit in the right circumstances, the time spent charging and then lining up the shot could be better spent outputting far better dps or even single shot damage with other more suitable weapons. It cannot match the destructiveness of Torgue, the dps of various other manufacturers, or the raw power of Jakobs, leaving a lot to be desired.
Trivia
The flavor text alludes to the Carrington Event, an 1859 geomagnetic storm that was the strongest ever recorded.
