Pestilence - About

The Legendary Pistol Pestilence is manufactured by COV and comes from the Borderlands 3 Base Game.

Pestilence - Unique Ability

The Pestilence fires fast Radiation bullets accurately.

Like other COV weapons, the Pestilence overheats after continuous firing, prompting you to repair it.
Repairing the Pestilence triggers a Radiation explosion, dealing Radiation Area Skill Damage.
