Discover how to get one of the best legendary weapons in Borderlands 4 with this new guide dedicated to the Hot Slugger shotgun. We’ll reveal where to find it and why you should go after it as soon as possible.
Hunting for legendary items is the lifeblood of Borderlands 4, and you’ll need to find the right bosses to farm repeatedly for your in-game currency or Eridium, hoping to stumble upon the best orange weapons available on the planet Kairos.
How to Get the Hot Slugger
The Hot Slugger can be obtained by farming one of the bunker bosses located in the Terminus Mountains region. Teleport to the eastern part of the area and head to the location indicated in the first image below. Once you arrive at the bunker door, check the hole behind you for the explosive that unlocks the entrance. Inside, you will encounter several arenas leading up to a battle against the boss known as the Cruel Messenger of Total Death, who is the one expected to drop the shotgun. If you don’t manage to get it, you know what to do: return to the entrance of the arena and spend a few tens of thousands of dollars to have another go.
Why is it the Best Legendary Shotgun?
Despite its projectiles moving slightly slower than average, the Hot Slugger is an absolute beast of a weapon. Its ricochet ammunition and unique bonus that increases damage exponentially with each kill can carry you through the entire main story and beyond. This weapon will particularly delight players who favor builds that enhance critical damage.
