Bonus damage against Taken enemies and Gambit invaders.

Explosive Shadow

Shoot tainted slugs that burrow into combatants. Stacking enough slugs causes them all to explode, stunning surviving combatants. Strong against [Stagger] Unstoppable Champions.

The main things Malfeasance brings to the table are extra damage to Taken and being able to create explosions by landing 5 shots. This is good for dealing damage to mid health targets, but won't activate on lower health targets because they'll be defeated before the 5th shot. This weapon does receive Vorpal Weapon with its catalyst, making Lucky Pants and Malfeasance a great combination for boss damage that can be cycled with Rockets once the boots are on cooldown.

This perk come in handy in PvP as this weapon archetype takes 4 shots to kill, but when out of ideal range will take 5 or more. But with Malfeasance you will always secure a kill with 5 or fewer hits, and this allows a player to land 5 body shots from any range and secure a kill. This weapon is also a good way to deal with supers as they require more damage to take out.
