Update: 9:20pm I was playing on PS3 and here is somthing I noticed with Firefly.
This all happened within about 1min on Cosmodrome from patrol spawn heading to where the Fallen Walker Public Event occurs.
I made a head-shot and the firefly effect occurred at a different location on my screen. In other words, I basically I shot an enemy next to a group of other characters and the Firefly explosion occurs maybe 10-20 away from enemies entirely. Then, they all die in the group, but the Firefly explosion occurs further away.
Now the next few Firefly shots Slow down occurs. I shoot a few more enimies in the head the Frames per-second trickle to a crawl for a second or two. I shoot again up close and personal around five feet away from enimies Firefly effect causes slow down that the enitire console freezes completely on a single image of a explosion and all sound turns off.
I tried to go to XMB but the game is completely locked up. I check the system for HDD activity there is none but the green internet indicator is flashing a lot. I try to Reach XMB one last time to quit game or shut down. Doesn't respond. I press power button. System beep three times (bad sign meaning faulty shut-down). System reboots and said had a faulty shut down and I have to report occurance to Sony PSN. I send report and do a HDD File System Restore check to make sure things are not messed up.
System boots up finding no errors and now I can boot up game again.
So the Freeze occurs on PS3.
This Bug occurs I can guarantee it that it happens on All consoles and it's a game software system performance problem that needs to be fixed immediately.
Here are all the other posts where I've found other users encountering this issue:

I speculate this has to do with the Luck in the chamber perk combined with the Firefly perk. The Luck in the chamber mixed with a head shot for firefly causes a very big explosion resulting in huge effects or the effect spawning in the wrong location and then freezing the console into a panic.
Update: It's not due to luck in the chamber, it must be a performance issue that affects all consoles due to the particle effects and damage of the Firefly perk alone.

Edited by metallicaNLC: 9/28/2015 5:48:16 AMoh, that's interesting, I didn't think of it possibly being caused by luck in the chamber mixed with firefly...

Researched even more by checking people's profiles. It's just the perk in general. Some people claim to have other perks like zen movement and still causes system panic freeze.

But I can't be sure because it would require all those having the issue to report the perks on their guns.
