You can acquire a legendary Maliwan weapon for free in Borderlands 3. Here’s how to do it and a closer look at its features.
This guide is for collectors and any players aiming to quickly obtain a legendary weapon in Borderlands 3. Thanks to the VIP reward system, you can acquire a top-tier Maliwan SMG if you follow the right steps.
How to Obtain the Weapon
To get your hands on this exciting weapon, as illustrated in the screenshot on our site, you need to collect 8 weapons through the VIP Shift reward system. You can either purchase weapons for Borderlands games with your VIP points or spin the “Pistolizer” wheel to win a weapon (which will count towards your goal of 8 weapons). The wheel can be spun once per season. There are three wheels available: one for season 1, another for season 2, and a final one for season 3. This means you can gather a minimum of 3 weapons from those spins. You can combine both methods—buying weapons with your points while spinning the wheel.
Once you reach the target of 8 collected weapons, you will receive the Dangerous Vault Hero directly in the game, delivered to your inbox. This weapon will be capped at level 12 and will only scale to your character’s level up to that limit. The effectiveness of the weapon will depend on your character’s level when you claim it. It will significantly boost your performance during your adventures in the game.
Dangerous Vault Hero
This compact SMG from the Maliwan manufacturer is particularly effective on Pandora and beyond. It features an impressive rate of fire and allows you to fire corrosive or electric projectiles, depending on the chosen mode. Plus, its aesthetics are downright stunning! This weapon is strong when equipped by Amara, outperforming most early-game loot you’ll encounter.
