Red Text
I don't even think the worms are awake yet...
This review was machine-translated from the Japanese original. Numbers are checked against the original; if the wording reads oddly, the Japanese version is authoritative.
When thrown like a frisbee, it continues flying while scattering beams as it spins, a “high-DPS disc”. Maliwan-made, it continuously deals elemental damage with a rotating beam during flight, and explodes after 8 seconds. It is a single throw that delivers top-tier damage in-game.
🧩 Red text source ‘Dragon Ball’ reference. The name “Destructo Disco” is a play on Krillin’s technique “Kienzan (English name Destructo Disc)” (matching the disc-shaped flying slicing behavior). The red text “I don’t even think the worms are awake yet…” originates from Krillin’s line in the Dragon Ball episode “Milk Delivery” (Borderlands Wiki citation). Note: The name is confirmed as a Dragon Ball reference, but whether the red text also references Dune’s “worms” as a double reference is (unverified).
What kind of grenade? (Beginner’s perspective)
- When thrown like a frisbee (disc), it flies slowly in a straight line
- While bouncing off anything, it continuously sprays a rotating beam during flight
- This rotating beam continuously deals elemental splash damage = high DPS
- While flying, Digby’s saxophone music plays (lively effect)
- Explodes after 8 seconds and adds additional elemental splash
- In narrow corridors or where enemies are clustered, continuously bouncing and beaming shows its true value
Unique effects (mechanics)
While flying slowly in a straight line, it bounces off anything, and during flight it continuously applies elemental splash with rotating beam. After 8 seconds it explodes (elemental splash). While airborne, Digby’s saxophone music plays.
- In-game: high stat damage with a rotating beam
- Web (Lootlemon): When thrown, it slowly flies in a linear trajectory, bouncing off everything while playing Digby’s Saxophone Music. While airborne it emits a rotating beam that deals [Element] Splash Ordnance Damage. After 8s, it explodes and deals [Element] Splash Ordnance Damage.
- Long flight time (8 seconds), because it continuously slices with the beam, total damage is extremely high
- Attribute roll is variable (can target status effects when combined with an attribute build)
- Weakness: because its flight is slow and linear, it is unsuitable for instantly hitting a single target. The trick is to use wall bounces to engage enemies
