The Kickballer legendary shotgun in Borderlands 4 is incredibly powerful at various distances. It releases powerful explosive rounds that deal AOE damage over a small or large area, depending on the build. The Jakobs Licensed Accessory-bearing Kickballer is perhaps the most powerful, as it deals a ton of damage through the ricochetting rounds.
This article will explain how you can get the Kickballer legendary shotgun in Borderlands 4.
How to farm the Kickballer legendary shotgun in Borderlands 4
To get the Kickballer legendary shotgun, you need to defeat Sludgemaw, who is located in The Fadefields. However, there are some prerequisites you need to fulfill before you can take on this fight:
Trending
- First, you need to finish two side quests: 'Null and Void' and 'All Charged Up.'
- Null and Void will be the first quest in this chain, and you can only access it after finishing the main quest Rush the Gate.
- After you finish Null and Void, move on to All Charged Up in Idolator's Noose. During this quest, you will encounter the boss Sludgemaw. After defeating him once, you can farm him again and again by using Moxxi's Big Encore machine.
- Defeating Sludgemaw gives you a chance of getting the Kickballer legendary shotgun as a drop.
The weapon is a rare drop, and the Jakob's brand bearing Kickballer is even rarer. This means you will likely have to defeat Sludgemaw several times before you ever get to see the shotgun. Sludgemaw is a relatively easier boss to deal with; however, taking him down multiple times can be tedious.
