Countermeasure - About

The Legendary Ordnance Countermeasure is manufactured by Torgue and comes from the Borderlands 4 Stone Demon Bounty Pack.

Countermeasure - Unique Ability

The Countermeasure is thrown in an arcing trajectory, bounces off surfaces, and after 0.5s launches 3 glowing flares and 12 mini-rockets into the air.

The flares slowly descend, distract enemies, and explode after 4s or on impact, each dealing 100% [Element] Splash Ordnance Damage in a tiny Radius.
The mini-rockets rain down at random locations and explode on impact, each dealing 100% [Element] Splash Ordnance Damage in a tiny Radius.

After 5s, or on enemy impact, the Countermeasure explodes, dealing 100% [Element] Splash Ordnance Damage.
