Notes[]

  • As a Signature Weapon, Pandero Prime gains a bonus effect with OctaviaIcon272 Octavia or OctaviaPrimeIcon64 Octavia Prime, where headshot kills with the Alternate Fire increases reload speed by 20%.
    • No weak spots other than actual heads will trigger this effect.
      • Headshots on invulnerable enemies will still grant this effect, but not with invulnerable bosses.
  • The Alternate Fire of the Pandero Prime will eject all of the remaining ammunition in the magazine in a single burst.
    • The base firerate of the alt-fire is 10 rounds per second.
    • Increasing the magazine size of the weapon such as with Mod TT 20px Slip Magazine and using recoil reduction mods like Mod TT 20px Steady Hands can help to make its damage output more consistent and reliable.
    • If buffed with unlimited ammo such as from the Reactant Buff, the weapon will only fire its magazine amount at a time, with small delays between each trigger pull.
    • Can be canceled with quick melee.
    • Aiming will be disabled for the duration of the burst; hence the alternate fire cannot benefit from Acolyte Mods.

Trivia[]

  • Pandero is the Spanish word for Tambourine, a hand-held percussion instrument.
  • The Pandero's last four shots sound slightly different to indicate low ammunition.
  • The Pandero is actually an 8 shot, double action revolver, as indicated in the reload animation and the rapid manual cocking animation of the the hammer during alternate fire.
    • The cylinder is very far forward, resulting in an extremely short barrel.
