If you’re still playing Borderlands 4, it means you’ve either just picked up the game or you’re busy farming for that perfect weapon. With the Horrors of Kairos Halloween mini-even not giving players much to do, farming your preferred legendary weapon is about the only choice you’ve got. Unless, of course, you want to be among the very few who’ve got the platinum trophy.
However, farming for the perfect variant of a legendary weapon isn’t easy at all. You’re in for multiple runs of the same boss, with no guarantee that it will drop. And if it does, chances are that it might not have the stats and perks you want. However, Borderlands 4’s latest update has made farming one of its most coveted weapons much easier.
Borderlands 4’s Weekly Wildcard Mission Has a Guaranteed Bod Drop
This week’s wildcard mission is Below the Surface, which requires you to help someone who has escaped an Order lab. As a reward, you’ll receive a guaranteed drop of the Bod shotgun, which is something that every weapon farmer wants to get their hands on. Since it’s a guaranteed drop, the chances of getting the variant you want are much higher.
Usually you’d have to farm a boss to get the Bod and pray to RNGsus for a good drop, but the wildcard mission has made it much easier. Rushing through the mission shouldn’t take more than eight to ten minutes, making the process much faster and smoother than facing a boss, even with a broken build.
As part of the weekly update, Primordial Guardian Origo steps up as the Big Encore Boss, featuring a tougher variant and bigger loot drop. Among the changes to the game are fixes for the Reactor mod drop rate, balances to various weapons, and something that everyone will like: a fix for the Knife Penetrator Augment, which was only offering a 30 percent critical chance.
Hopefully, you’ll soon have something else to do in Borderlands 4 besides weapon farming. Gearbox has revealed that the game’s first invincible boss will be available in Q4 2025, so expect some new activities any time now.
