Borderlands 2
Explosive Damage deals full damage to all enemies, only Shielded Targets take 20% less damage.
Manufacturer Torgue primarily produces Explosive Weapons with a few exceptions: Peak Opener, World Burn
Explosive Damage deals additional Splash Damage in close proximity of the impact. Direct Hits deal Explosive and Splash Damage.

Splash Damage can apply an additional Elemental status effect from the Direct Hit, resulting in 2 chances to apply a status effect. (2 Status Effects can run at the same time)
