About the Malak’s Bane:
The Malak’s Bane is a Legendary Weapon in Borderlands 3. This Dahl Sniper Rifle can swap between a Sniper and a Shotgun mode by using the alt-fire option. The projectiles of the Malak’s Bane move pretty slow and sniper shots try and adjust the flight path of the projectile to score a critical hit. The ammo consumption is pretty high and the damage output isn’t that great compared to other sniper rifles.
Special Weapon Effect:
“Welcome to the end.”
- Swaps between Sniper and Shotgun.
- The Sniper consumes 2 ammo per shot.
- The Shotgun consumes 2 Ammo per shot, for 6 pellets.
- On long distances bullets slightly change their flightpath to hit an enemy.

Elements:

Cryo damage slows enemies and eventually freezing them. Cryo efficiency is the percentage of damage dealt that is applied as Cryo, at 100% efficiency, enemies will freeze at 20% health. Frozen enemies are unable to move and take 3x Melee damage
