Spewers are a separate weapon type first introduced in Borderlands V. They are reminiscent of real life flamethrowers.
Overview []
All Spewers spawn with an element, Incendiary being the default and the most common. Five manufacturers produce spewers (Bandit, S&S, Vladof, I.G.P.D. and Maliwan). Depending on the manufacturer, the spewer can gain different characteristics, some manufacturers even have different sub-variants.
Being a distinct weapon type, Spewers have their own unique ammunition pool (usually referred to as "Fuel"), represented by a gas tank icon and a pickup item reminiscent of a small gas canister. Spewer ammo has the highest storage capacity of any type, serving as a sort of universal ammo source.
The width of the stream a spewer produces id decided by their accuracy. Improving the accuracy via perks or artifacts will tighten the stream and make hitting targets slightly harder, but give a proportional damage buff, reducing the accuracy will widen the stream but reduce damage slightly.
Manufacturer characteristics[]
A Spewers's manufacturer determines it's properties.
- S&S - brand spewers are jack of all trades with decent range, damage, spread and above average magazine size.
- Bandit - Bandit manufactured spewers have massive magazine size, but suffer from lower damage. They also have the Throwur class of spewers, which shoot arcing balls of elements rather than continuous streams
- Maliwan - Maliwan's spewers have good damage at the cost of low magazine size. They have the Vaporizer class of Spewers that shoot out a constant, far reaching beam instead of a limited range spray.
- Vladof - Brand spewers have exceptionally high damage but at the cost of short maximum range. They have the Dvigatel class of spewers that deal massive damage, but have an extremely short range and push the player back then firing.
- I.G.P.D. - These spewers are characterized by blue flames, short bursts and low accuracy. The low accuracy can actually benefit the player, as it will be easier to hit multiple enemies that way
What We Hope To Accomplish[]
We would like a good deal of weapons and no arsenal would be complete with a good deal of flamethrowers, shockthrowers, acidthrowers and all the other types of throwers. We want you to make as many weapons as possible. Here is what we're looking for:
- No need to create new elements, we have an elements page here. Note: Spewers always have an element!
- Low base accuracy is actually beneficial to spewers! a wider spread makes it easier to hit enemies
- Some basic White and Green rarity weapons.
- Some nice blues and purples, not over powered, but something you would want with you when walking down a dark alley.
- MAKE 'EM UNIQUE! We need you to make red text weapons! Make them cool and different.
- What weapon chest would be finished without Legendaries, Limes, and Pearlescents. Fill 'er up
