About the Skullmasher:
The Skullmasher is a Legendary Weapon in Borderlands 3. This Jakobs Sniper Rifle fires a cluster of 5 bullets but will only cost 1 ammo per shot. If all projectiles connect the Skullmasher is capable of much higher raw damage output than most of its peers. The Skullmacher tends to have a lower accuracy for sniper rifles, therefore, it’s best used at mid-range or against very large enemies. The fire rate of the Skullmasher is great.
