It has the damage prefix so it's decent. Better on Maya than Zer0 though because of here boost to elemental damage IMO.

Maya doesn´t boost elemental damage.

Maliwan Snipers are among the best sniper rifles in the game.
They have a good base damge +50% splash with a solid firerate and are always elemental.
Matching elements gives you a great damage boosts in UVHM and elemental relics will multiply it even further.

The Volcano has a much lower base damage compared to a purple Maliwan Snider in exchange for +80% splash damage (and better DoT stats iirc but DoTs are useless in UVHM).
Splash damage can´t crit so it will perform much worse than it´s non-legendary counterpart in that regard.

It´s not a bad gun per se but inferior to a Snider (Maliwan-barelled Maliwan sniper that is).

You do have the damge prefix with isn´t bad and it would outperform its brethren on a bodyshot but the crit damage on a Snider is way higher.

It´s better on Axton because the Volcanos splash gets grenade damrge boosts whereas the Snider does not.
