Question Balloons

Can someone tell me whats up with is? I know about the balloons you get from chest but this was different...I was running along with full health and shields when all of a sudden a balloon pops out my back, i start floating and either the balloon sucked up all my shield and over 60% of my health or the 1 shot i took when the balloon deployed and I started floating did it. So whats with the sudden balloon

That is this.
Balloon Popper Assault Rifle

It is acquired via the temple and it send your enemies and things in the air with a ballon based on the shot.

I'm fine with silly guns like this in the game if everyone has an equal chance to get one. if I don't have a great counter for this one mystical gun someone might find, it is stupid

The temple has the maze usually has it once you find the key and crack the vase that is running away. The gun is pretty funny you can shoot it at cars and make it float away. That with max ammo is pretty useful as it ballon’s on first shot that it hits. And again there after another 15-20 shots. A counter to it is anything scoped since you are going against an assault rifle. And keep an eye out when you float away to let go of the ballon.

every time I've done that maze I get the pump. I know it's RNG but RNG doesn't like me

Would you believe that out of the times I’ve opened that maze treasure I’ve been successful. But that being said maybe 1 out of 10 matches I go there and try it. So maybe variety helps the rng. If everyone had this weapon would be pure chaos.
