Binary Operator - About

The Legendary Sniper Binary Operator is manufactured by Maliwan and comes from the Borderlands 3 Designer's Cut DLC.

Binary Operator - Unique Ability

The Binary Operator either kills its target or deals next to no damage.
The Binary Operator only kills its target if the target's current health is lower than the hidden damage value of the Binary Operator.

The hidden damage value can be increased by increasing your weapon damage.
The base hidden damage value for a M10 Binary Operator is around 770K - 1.04M.
