The Fatale is a Legendary weapon in Borderlands the Pre-Sequel. This Hyperion SMG reaches its peak accuracy faster than most other Hyperion SMGs, even those of similar or higher levels. Its large magazine, high maximum accuracy, and critical hit damage bonus make it an excellent choice for almost any combat situation. The Fatale is good for picking up Second Wind when you are in ‘Fight for your life’ mode. Its only real drawback is that it is weak against Cryo-resistant enemies, which are particularly prevalent on True Vault Hunter Mode or higher.
