Evil Smasher

root@torgue-db:~$ cat description.txt

A rare Torgue assault rifle with weak normal performance but a chance to become absurdly powerful on reload. Its base damage, fire rate, and magazine are all underwhelming, yet a random reload power-up can transform the next magazine into something dramatically stronger. Because that buff is unreliable, it is more of a novelty unless you deliberately fish for the proc.

Like other Torgue rifles, its shots explode on impact and gain bonus splash that scales with grenade-damage bonuses. That splash is applied after internal calculations, so effects like Anarchy do not boost it, while outside modifiers such as Death Mark do. The reload power-up can rarely chain and stack the stat boost. Magazine-size changes from skills or class mods affect both the base and buffed versions, and because the proc happens before the reload finishes, you can cancel the reload with melee or weapon swap to retry until it triggers. An old buff glitch can still be abused while Gunzerking.
