The Borderlands collection has always relished making references or poking pleasurable at other activity franchises. Borderlands 3 is no exception, ranging from insulting Destiny’s engrams to praising Doom’s weapons. You can find even a reference to a single of the extra notable missions from its predecessor, Borderlands 2. Some of these references are even tied to guns, like the Mario-themed Compressing Superball.
A famous Maliwan pistol, the Compressing Superball can not swap elements like most of the guns created by the business–it exclusively fires incendiary bullets. In its place of the laserbeam, tri-shot, or fast-fireplace bullets observed on other Maliwan guns, the Compressing Superball shoots a giant fireball that explodes on impact and deals splash destruction.
The description for the gun reads “Flower electric power,” which is most most likely in reference to the Tremendous Mario Bros. series, where by major protagonist Mario can get the superpower to shoot fireballs out of his hands right after consuming a fireplace flower. This is just not the very first Tremendous Mario Bros. reference observed in the Borderlands franchise. The extremely initial activity involved an Achievement/Trophy called “My Brother is an Italian Plumber” that you make by killing an enemy by inflicting harm on them by jumping on their head.
Though the result the Compressing Superball produces is amazing-hunting, the gun is not essentially all that very good. Following the original location of Pandora, you start encountering a large amount extra enemies that have on shields or armor–increasing the worth of shock and corrosive weapons though decreasing the utility of incendiary. Also, as a Maliwan gun, the Compressing Superball’s shot is just not all that sturdy, which isn’t going to pair very very well with its sluggish fireplace amount.
