About the Breath of the Dying:
The Breath of the Dying is a Legendary Weapon in Borderlands 3. This Dahl Assault Rifle has pretty good overall stats. As it has a large magazine size, high fire rate, quick reload speed, and good accuracy. The Breath of the Dying always has the corrosive element and is therefore very effective against Armored enemies, however, it cannot apply the Melt Damage over Time effect. The cool feature of this gun is that when killing an enemy with it, the enemy will explode and corrosive balls will fly in all directions. The explosion deals significant damage and is great for damaging nearby enemies. Very useful when dealing with bigger mobs that might also carry armor.
