Usage & Description

The Spicy is part of sub-group of ssubmachine guns that always spawn with a Maliwan barrel and fixed element. Their main selling point is the improved elemental chance and damage granted by the Maliwan barrel, in addition to a slight increase in accuracy. Even at low rarities, the high damage-over-time potential can make them excellent choices for combat against fleshy enemies such as bandits and wildlife. In particular, they can be highly effective against groups for quickly applying flames to several different enemies, allowing a character to passively inflict damage while they reposition or focus on another target.

Notes

• Other submachine guns in this grouping manufactured by the Scav include the Tangy (corrosive), Shokking (shock), and Chilly (cryo).
  • Because of the fixed part configuration, SMGs in this group spawn much more rarely than their rarity color would seem to indicate.
• The Spicy only spawns at green or higher rarity.
• The Spicy is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source.
• The equivalent Bandit weapon in Borderlands 2 is the Burny.
