Acquisition

• Reward for completing The Lost Hounds.

Notes

• The stats listed here are for a level 27 character.
• On nightmare difficulty, due to the unpredictable nature of its ability to inflict Walking Bomb, using this weapon is not a good idea as enemies can randomly become infected, then explode, dealing up to tens of thousands of points of friendly fire damage to any allies in the vicinity depending on the victim's maximum health.
