About the Laser-Sploder:
The Laser-Sploder is a Legendary Weapon in Borderlands 3. This Torgue Assault Rifle shoots a constant laser beam and rockets. The Laser beam has a pretty long range but isn’t infinite. The damage output of the Laser-Sploder is pretty great, however, some elemental types may not perform as well as others. The laser has a small wiggle but it’s pretty easy to aim and keep it locked on a target.

Changelog:
- Hotfix October 8, 2020
- 120% Increased damage scaling and magazine size
Notes:
- Like other laser weapons, the damage on the item card isn’t increased when having a Double Penetrating Prefix variant. The increased ammo consumption does get mentioned but you need to double the damage number in your head. So 1000 damage becomes 2000 damage.
- The Laser-Sploder occasionally appears in Maurice’s Black Market.
- Double Barrel Skill: The Clone can’t handle laser weapons and will instead slowly shoot single shots.
- This weapon references Mr. Torgue who mentioned in Borderlands the Pre-Sequel that he dislikes lasers because they don’t produce explosions.
- The Revenge of the Cartels Seasonal Event added a similar weapon to the game, called the Iceburger.
