About the Widowmaker:
The Widowmaker is a Legendary Weapon in Borderlands 3. This grenade mod can be manufactured by Hyperion, Torgue, Tediore, or Vladof. They basically all do the same but have a different delivery system. When you throw the Widowmaker it creates a landmine. When it’s triggered it will jump up in the air and when it explodes it will shoot out 4 homing rockets that will target the nearest enemy. This grenade mod is pretty powerful. My personal preference would be the Vladof variant of the Widowmaker as it exploded on impact. This gives me more control over the damage of the grenade mod.
Elements:
Explosive, Corrosive, and Cryo.
Special Weapon Effect:
“À la vie, à la mort.”
Creates a landmine when thrown. When approached by an enemy or a short period of time after being thrown, the grenade rises into the air and explodes into homing rockets.
