There are numerous legendary shotguns in Borderlands 4 that excel at completing your builds, but the Armored Bod stands out for specific reasons. In this guide, we’ll unravel why it’s so valuable and how you can get your hands on it.
Among the long list of legendaries in Borderlands 4, the Armored Bod shotgun is one of the most practical options available. This practicality stems from a specific mod that allows the shotgun to fit into all weapon categories simultaneously. This means that by using it, you will effectively complete all weapon challenges while racking up tons of Eridium. In this guide, we will point you in the right direction and tell you which boss to target for obtaining this shotgun.
How to Obtain the Legendary Armored Bod?
Head to the Mine of Auguries located at the entrance of the Dominion, known as the Labor of Desperation. To reach this area, take the left path immediately as you enter the city through the quest’s open exit. Progress down to the entrance, then descend into the hole to land in a volcanic zone that lacks significance. While it’s vast, there’s not much to say about this mine; it mainly features numerous Skags which you can easily avoid to focus on the main path. Aside from the Skags, the only notable feature of the Mine of Auguries is the boss that can drop the superb legendary shotgun you are after.
How to Defeat the Mutilator Boss?
This Skag boss has a certain dramatic flair, wielding a sword in its mouth. However, it is much easier to defeat than its distant cousin from another game. The Mutilator is one of the simplest bosses to face in the game, making it enjoyable to farm repeatedly: simply hit its head and roll over repeatedly until you obtain the coveted weapon. It’s straightforward and basic. Keep in mind that the Mutilator can swing its axe across long distances, so you will need to dodge sideways while managing your stamina gauge wisely. As is customary, the Mutilator comes with around fifty useless minions who can be handy for reviving you in case of tough hits—a recurring pattern that makes you suspect these enemies might be there for that exact reason. Once you vanquish the boss, take the purple teleporter and reset the fight through Moxxi’s machine to try your luck again. Note that the boss might also drop a repair kit or another legendary firearm.
