Red Text
What a tosser.
Every time you reload, you “throw” the gun with this gloriously unhinged AR. It is a single weapon that elevates Tediore’s throwing reload into a unique effect; when the thrown gun lands it sprays four grenades for a massive explosion. Using it as a thrower rather than shooter makes for sharp gameplay, a fun cluster bomb type.
🧩 Red text source The double meaning of “tosser” is the core wordplay. In British English, “tosser” is a mild “idiot/scumbag” insult, but literally it means “one who tosses (throws)” = the thrower. Throwing the gun on reload ties into the Tediore/Pitcher effect. The weapon name Chuck also in colloquial English means “to throw (chuck = toss)” – another throwing reference (also a double meaning with the person name Chuck). Name, effect, and red text are consistent with “throw”. There is no citation from any specific work on official Wiki etc., and the external source is (unverified).
Unique Effect (Mechanics)
Pitcher: Reload to throw the gun (without consuming magazine ammo Tediore bonus fully active). The thrown gun generates four grenades on impact and explodes (MIRV).
- Reload = throw. The more you throw, the more explosions you scatter cluster bomb usage
- The thrown weapon flies far like baseball pitching, and on impact four grenades detonate
- No element (kinetic), so armor/shield counters are supplemented with other weapons
Self-destruct caution If you throw it at your feet or very close range, you’ll be caught in the explosion and go down. The trick is to step back half a pace and throw into enemies/ground.
