About the Slow Hand:
The Slow Hand is a Legendary Weapon in Borderlands 3 and can only be obtained in the Moxxi’s Heist on Handsome Jackpot DLC. This Hyperion Shotgun shoots an energy ball that deals splash damage. The damage it deals is pretty decent damage but the main feature is that it also heals you in the process. The projectiles of the Slow Hand are kinda slow and the weapon will eat through your ammo. Did you know that the Slow Hand is a returning weapon from Borderlands 2?
