About the Firestorm:
The Firestorm is a Legendary Weapon in Borderlands 3. This Grenade mod can be produced by Hyperion, Tediore, and Vladof. The only difference between these grenade mods, except the manufacturers, is the delivery module. The Firestorm is one of the best legendary grenade mods in the game. You want to pick up a Rain or Gravity Salvo version of the Firestorm as these spit out the most projectiles.
Note: The Firestorm only comes in the fire element and isn’t as effective on fast-moving enemies. Also, it doesn’t work in small corridors, so use it wisely.
Elements:
Incendiary.
Special Weapon Effect:
“Soon afterwards, the clouds descended upon the earth.”
- Meteors will crash into the ground and deal incendiary damage.
How to get the Firestorm?:
The Firestorm can be obtained from any loot source but has a high chance of dropping from the Auralia who is located at Blackbarrel Cellars on Eden-6.
