How to farm the Rainbow Vomit shotgun in Borderlands 4

Here is a quick overview that you can use to farm the Rainbow Vomit shotgun in Borderlands 4:

You will need to progress through the main storyline and complete the 9th mission called Unpaid Tab. This will help you unlock a new side quest called Enter the Electi.
The Enter the Electi side quest will have two parts, which you need to complete. Completing the first part will provide you with objectives that start leading toward an NPC named Leader Willem, and the second will unlock the Carcadia Burn area on the map.
After completing both parts, you will need to complete another side mission called The Council Divided.
Once finished, you will need to accept and finish the A Traitor Within side quest. This is an important mission that will lead you to a mole present within the Electi. This mission is provided to you by an NPC named Levaine. The tasks are quite tedious and long, but can be completed without much difficulty. Toward the end, it is revealed that Leader Willem is the mole from Electi.
The final part is to complete The Mole’s Gambit side quest. Midway through, you will be directed to find Willem in the Grindstone of the Worthy area of the map. Complete this mission by defeating Leader Willem in the arena and unlock.
Once this is done, Leader Willem becomes available for fights in The Excrucible area of the Grindstone of the Worthy region, located inside Carcadia Burn. You can then challenge this boss to stand a chance of earning the Legendary Rainbow Vomit shotgun drop.
