Red Text
Sticky booooy, come to toooown!

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, the body detonates in a massive explosion while sequentially attaching homing stickies to enemies to burn them away, the “Flaming Sticky Bomb”. It is a Torgue‑made fire‑specialized grenade that, in addition to the body’s large‑area explosion, spawns nine stickies that attach to enemies and detonate with a delay. One throw that incinerates fire‑attribute enemies completely.

🧩 Red Text Origin Red text “Sticky booooy, come to toooown!” is said to be a play on the reggae song “Country Boy” (Clint Eastwood’s reggae track) lyric “country boy come to town” according to the Borderlands Wiki. Because this grenade sprays homing stickies, “country boy” → “sticky boy”. The name “Firepot” itself also includes a pun linking reggae culture marijuana = “pot” (fire + pot). * Details such as the song artist’s notation are (unverified).

What kind of grenade? (Beginner’s perspective)

• Throw in a large arc, bounces off anything
• After 5 seconds, a large‑area 100% Fire Splash explosion (the body’s big detonation)
• Starting 1 second after the throw, it begins generating homing stickies that attach to nearby enemies
• Stickies generate a total of 9, each exploding after 13 seconds with 70% Fire Splash (small area)
• The body’s big explosion plus the 9 stickies scatter continuous fire damage
• Strong against enemies/herds weak to fire, even if you just attach and leave, they keep burning

Unique Effects (Mechanics)

Bounce in a large arc, 5 seconds later a large‑area 100% Fire Splash explosion. Starting 1 second after the throw homing sticky is generated, attaching a total of 9 to enemies, each 13 seconds later 70% Fire Splash explosion (small area).

• In‑game: Generates homing Torgue stickies over time
• **Web (Lootlemon) **: Thrown in a heavily arcing trajectory, bounces off everything and explodes after 5s for 100% Fire Splash in a large Radius. Starting 1s after being thrown it spawns homing sticky grenades that attach to nearby enemies — 9 total, each exploding after 13s for 70% Fire Splash in a tiny Radius.
• Element is fixed to Fire (sticks to flesh‑type enemies weak to fire, or shieldless foes)
• Because the stickies attach to enemies and home, they provide sustained firepower even if you just throw and forget
• Weakness: the sticky explosions are delayed 13 seconds, making it better for burn‑down tactics rather than instant annihilation

Summary

• Body’s massive explosion + 9 homing stickies makes a fire‑specialized grenade that incinerates
• Stickies attach to enemies and home = sustained firepower even if you just throw
• Sticky explosions are delayed 13 seconds = better for burn‑down tactics than instant annihilation
• The red text is a play on the reggae song “Country Boy”, and the name is a fire + pot pun
• Obtained from Leader Willem (The Excrucible)
