The Drill is a Pearlescent Melee Weapon drill manufactured by Titan that appears in Borderlands V. It can be obtained from any suitable loot source but has an increased chance to drop from Tubby enemies and Raid Bosses.
Special Weapon Effects[]
Pierce the heavens - Greatly improved all around stats. Each hit with this weapon applies a stacking 1% damage vulnerability to an enemy, this de-buff lasts 12 seconds and i capped at 50 stacks. Dealing damage with The Drill to an enemy with max stacks of the de-buff will heal the user for 2% of the damage dealt.
Usage & Description[]
The on hit de-buff that this weapon applies affects all damage that the target receives and lasts relatively long, and given that The Drill deals continuous damage it isn't hard to achieve max stacks on a target relatively quickly. Once max stacks have been reached, the healing that this weapon provides can be strong enough to let the player ignore the target's attacks and keep drilling them for massive damage.
It's also worth noting that the de-buff stacks multiplicatively with slag, so with both effects combined a target will take massively increased damage.
Notes[]
- This weapon will never spawn with a prefix.
Trivia[]
- This weapon's flavor text is a reference to the anime Gurren Lagann.
