 So today we check out another new weapon that arrived with the takedown at Madiwan's Black Sight 3 content update. This weapon is called the Moonfire and wow, meet your destiny. How's it going guys? My name's DPJ and today I've been your another Borderlands 3 video. If you do enjoy it leaving a like really helps out and subscribe if you want to see more Borderlands. Onscreen now you can see my weekly giveaway along with last week's winner to be with a chance of winning this yourself. Follow the instructions onscreen now and good luck. Ok so the Moonfire pistol is an amazing weapon I believe at the moment is exclusive to Walton, the main boss behind the takedown at Madiwan raid as people seem to call it. I've had a look online and the people who have gotten it so far all did from Walton on Mayhem 4. But if this has been obtained by anyone else from elsewhere please let us know in that comments section. This variant was sent to me by my powerful review trolling donkey soul credit to him. Doesn't offer an elemental damage but this does drop indeed offerings to the elemental versions like the one you can see on screen now. This variant I have and known to Amara offers after using phase slam weapon damage is increased by 300% for a short time. The damage this thing packs also is pretty crazy as you can see it has a 2056 damage. It has a 69% accuracy, 4% handling, reloads in 2 seconds and a 1.6 fire rate and a magazine size of 5. It also has a plus 45% critical hit damage bonus with a plus 65% weapon damage bonus and a plus 69% projectile speed bonus. It's red text states meet your destiny. Now is this another reference to destiny we know the other weapon I covered the good juju was definitely a reference to destiny. Well is this? Well it could indeed be. In the great days of destiny 1 there was a weapon called the Hawkmoon. The Hawkmoon pistol had a couple of specific traits which made a monster of a weapon. It had something called holding aces where two bullets within its magazine would deal considerably more damage. Well that's what it seems this weapon also does people. Every third shot you fire it fires a beam shot which deals over double the damage a normal shot does and it just absolutely wrecks people. So it could be in reference to destiny I won't confirm that but it's good to think about. I'd definitely say this is one of the most powerful pistols in the game now as well. But what I also like about this weapon is how great it feels to use. It feels super snappy, super accurate, just all round great. We can actually see the damages thing is capable of and test it against old favourite pistols because of the new target done within Sanctuary. So let's get to testing. So I pulled out my votes from my favourite hand cannons I've kept hold of. The duck, the queen's cool, the companion, the unforgiven. Let's test these against this moon of fire. So starting with the duck. A body shot. The initial shot does 648 but it then has a projectile explosion and this does 2,092 damage. Combine the two and you're equal to the body shot of 3,240. A crit shot. The initial shot does 1,752 but the explosion does 7,006. This equals out into 9,758. With my duck though a crit shot spawns 3 projectiles but 2 seem to go to surrounding areas. But each one of these additional projectiles does 1,296. Now if you were to fire this at all projectiles then land on that initial target you could do a total damage of 13,646 but this is a rare instance. So the duck has got some potential it really has. So let's move on to the queen's cool. This does a body shot damage of 623. A crit shot will do 1,685 but it also spawns in three extra projectiles doing 935 damage each. So a total damage shot does 4,490. The companion. This is a favourite to many. A body shot does 2,091 and a crit shot does 5,651. The unforgiven which is an absolute monster of a weapon as we all know because of that critical hit damage bonus. So the body does 1,195. A crit shot does 14,000 people. Damn. So let's move on to the moon fire and see what the thing is capable of. So it's body shot will do 2,334 but hitting the body with that special beam shot once in three shots it does 5,249. Like wow that's basically a body shot equivalent to the companion's crit shot as well as more powerful than the queen's cool crit shot. Like wow. Okay so a crit shot with the moon fire will do 7,557 but it's special beam shot people will do 17,000 to that head, to that cranium, to that face, to that nostril, to that hole between those cheeks. Actually I cut that part out. But yes the moon fire is an absolute monster of a weapon and I knew straight away firing off against just minor adds that it was going to be one of the most powerful pistols in the game. And the stats you can see on the screen now it's quite clear that it is one of the most powerful. Now obviously some of these have much quicker fire rates and so forth which would in turn add to probably a greater DPS but even so the moon fire is indeed a great great pistol. One in my opinion which is up there at the best in the game and like I said my testings with the standard version could only imagine what a better version with an elemental damage buff would do. I mean I can't wait to try one of those out. Now if you guys do have any of the new legendaries and there are quite a few that dropped with this takedown at Malouan's Blacksite update and you play on Xbox send me a message to IAMDPJ if you'd like me to review your said weapon or you can hit me up on my discord linked within the video description. My discord is also home to many many Borderlands fans with dedicated trading sections for every platform so do check it out. But yeah guys this has been the moon fire an amazing new addition to the game a pistol which is now setting stone within my loadout and a weapon at the moment I believe is only exclusive to Walton on the Mayhem 4 so good luck if you plan on trying to get this.
